If someone had asked me in 2013 whether Bitcoin was a scam,
I would have said: a bit like
In 2017, I would have said: a huge bubble
Today in 2025, if you still insist, it only shows that I neither understand technology nor finance.
Bitcoin in 2025 has changed
- In the past: geek toy, dark web currency, rebellious youth against central banks
- Now: Wall Street’s new favorite, BlackRock and Fidelity have launched spot ETFs, presidential candidates in the US must publicly support
It has been completely “brought into the fold,” becoming:
An alternative safe-haven asset with high volatility, global circulation, and detached from sovereign credit.
To the people of Argentina and Venezuela, it’s a lifeline; to institutions, a new allocation tool.
Bitcoin is not a scam, but it is a knife
- Want to get rich overnight → most likely to get cut
- Use no more than 5% of your idle funds, hold it as digital gold for the long term, capable of withstanding a 50% drop → a fully legal and reasonable asset allocation
A knife itself doesn’t kill, whether it stabs yourself depends on how you hold it.
In 2025, Bitcoin is no longer a question of “whether to believe,” but rather “can you afford to play this game.”
