In the tempestuous realm of Bitcoin, last week was a theatrical performance, with prices pirouetting above $111,800 on May 23, only to plummet to a mere $109,600 today. Yet, despite this dramatic dip, the grandest of cryptocurrencies concluded the week hovering around $110,000, trading at $109,770 as the clock struck the latest hour. While the short-term chaos sends shivers down the spines of many, a burgeoning cadre of investors and analysts gazes upon the broader horizon of Bitcoin’s destiny.
Frustration and Patience: The Odd Couple
Thomas Fahrer, the co-founder of Apollo, has taken to the stage, vocalizing the emotional rollercoaster that is Bitcoin ownership. He claims that holding Bitcoin is akin to a frustrating tango—90% of the time, he muses. Yet, he insists that for those who endure, the rewards are bountiful. Fahrer unveiled a price chart that stretches from 2011 to a hopeful projection for 2031, adorned with a curved trendline on a logarithmic scale, illustrating Bitcoin’s unwavering ascent through the ages.
Several poignant moments punctuate this chart. In 2015, Bitcoin nosedived to a paltry $212. By 2020, it found solace near $5,000. And in 2022, after soaring past $67,000 the previous year, it plummeted to around $16,000. Yet, amidst the cacophony, Fahrer asserts that Bitcoin has adhered to its long-term trajectory.
Holding Bitcoin means getting rich while feeling frustrated 90% of the time. 😅
Deflationary money – designed to increase in value – forever. 💸
It’s difficult for the human mind to comprehend. Most still don’t get it. 🤷♂️

A Deflationary Design That’s Hard to Grasp
Fahrer also highlighted Bitcoin’s unique design as a deflationary currency. Unlike the US dollar, which wilts under the weight of excess, Bitcoin boasts a hard cap—only 21 million coins will ever grace this earth. Every four years, the number of new coins birthed is halved in a ritual known as halving. This makes it increasingly difficult for supply to outstrip demand over time.
Fahrer believes that many remain blissfully unaware of this reality. The notion that money can appreciate rather than depreciate flies in the face of how most were raised to perceive spending and saving. 🤔
Numbers Tell Their Own Story
One Bitcoin enthusiast, adopting the moniker Carl Menger, shared a striking comparison that caught the eye. His data revealed that if one held $100 in cash from 2020 to 2025, its purchasing power would dwindle to a mere $76. In contrast, that same $100 invested in Bitcoin would burgeon to a staggering $1,201 over the same period. Talk about a plot twist! 📈
This stark contrast illustrates how inflation gnaws at fiat savings, while Bitcoin, with its fixed supply, showcases the opposite effect as prices ascend. That’s the kind of visual that lingers in the mind. 🧠
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. #Bitcoin

You Don’t Need A Whole Coin
Robert Kiyosaki, the sage behind “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” also chimed in. He noted that many believe they must purchase an entire Bitcoin to reap the benefits, but that’s a fallacy! Even a mere 0.01 BTC could yield significant returns if Bitcoin continues its historical performance. 💡
Bitcoin may test your patience, but it hasn’t shattered its trend just yet. 🕰️
