A tough individual made a move back in 2011. He bought 10,000 BTC for $7,805 and held on for 14 years without any action. By July last year, as Bitcoin skyrocketed to $109,246 per coin, he sold everything in one go. He directly pocketed $1 billion on paper. This kind of resolve, honestly, is not something an average person can achieve. From four-digit to five-digit USD, over these 14 years of tumultuous ups and downs, many people couldn't hold back anymore. Being able to stick through Bitcoin's long cycle truly makes him somewhat of a monster.

Bro, your resolve is incredible. I sold it long ago because I was trembling.

Haven't touched it in 14 years, this mental resilience is really incredible. If it were me, I would have cut my losses when it hit around 30,000.

14 years untouched, this mental resilience is really incredible... The little I bought in 2011 has long been spent, I just can't sit still.

To be honest, this is a typical survivor bias wrapped in a story of resilience. The real test is in mechanism design—how does he ensure that over 14 years, the hard drives are not lost, private keys are not leaked, and exchanges do not run away? That is the core risk.

Damn, I didn't even dare to go all-in in 2017, and this guy held on for a solid 14 years... He's really not human.

14 years untouched, his mental resilience is incredible... Back in 2011, I didn't even know what Bitcoin was. Looking at this guy now, he must have truly understood it.

Not taking action for 14 years, this mental resilience is truly amazing. I was already itching to trade back in the 2017 bull market.
