Let me be honest—becoming a Holcoiner is the smartest move you can make, but it’s also getting ridiculously hard. I remember when I first got into Bitcoin back in 2016. The price was around $400-$500, and owning a whole bitcoin felt totally worth it.
now? This is a completely different story.
Bitcoin is sitting Close to $100,000And owning half a Bitcoin feels out of reach for most people. Let’s put it in perspective: the average savings for someone under the age of 35 In America is only $20,540. This is not even 25% of the price of buying 1 BTC today. Most of these Millennials and Zoomers can only dream of owning a whole Bitcoin – it’s no longer realistic for the average person.
And here’s the part that really blows my mind: There are Only 1 million Bitcoin addresses Who hold more than 1 BTC. Even if we assume that each of these addresses belongs to a different person (which is not true), that is only 0.0125% of the world’s population. Think about it—being a Holcoiner already puts you in one of the most exclusive clubs in the world.
Now, let’s compare this to the Fiat Millionaires. there are About 58 million millionaires Around the world. And here’s the kicker: there are only 21 million bitcoins in total. Even if every single millionaire on earth wanted to own a bitcoin, he couldn’t. There is not enough Bitcoin to go around. So being a Holcoiner is better than being a fiat millionaire. Fiat is infinite – anyone can become a millionaire in a system where money is printed endlessly. But Bitcoin? It is hard-capped. rare
If you are a millionaire and don’t have at least 1 bitcoin yet, wake up. The race is on, and most millionaires are going to miss out. And if you are already a Holcoiner? congratulations You are part of the 0.0125% who will ever own that many Bitcoins.
It might not seem like a big deal now, but in 20 or 30 years, you’ll look back and realize how rare and special it is. As Tuur Demeester said: “These are the last months that 1 BTC is accessible to the upper middle class.” That quote stuck with me because it’s true. The window is closing.
If you’re in a race, don’t stop. And if you’re on the sidelines, it’s time to move on—because Bitcoin scarcity Going to leave a lot of people behind.
