Looking back, many people may feel regret for the investment opportunities they missed. Someone shared their experience during the early stages of Bitcoin: about ten years ago, he mined a dozen Bitcoins using his work computer. However, due to the lack of attention to this emerging Digital Money at the time, he actually forgot the password, and now it is too late to regret.



Looking back, in that era when Bitcoin had just emerged, many people participated with a mindset of trying something new. During the mining process, apart from the noise generated by computer calculations and the slowing down of graphics processing, it seemed to attract little attention.

However, as time goes on, the value of Bitcoin has skyrocketed, but it has also brought a series of legal and regulatory issues. The Chinese government's attitude towards Bitcoin has always been relatively cautious, not recognizing its legal status. This has led to the predicament that even holding a large amount of Bitcoin, one faces the inability to legally exchange it for fiat currency and remit it back to the country.

Reports indicate that a Chinese Bitcoin whale attempted to convert their held Bitcoins into USD after immigrating, only to encounter a freeze on their funds. This case highlights the legal risks that Digital Money faces in cross-border transactions and capital flows.

In fact, not only in China, but globally there is much uncertainty regarding the regulation of Bitcoin. This complex legal environment poses numerous obstacles to the actual use and conversion of Bitcoin.

Reflecting on this experience, we can't help but ask: If we had invested ten thousand yuan in purchasing Bitcoin back then, aside from the possible regret and anxiety it might bring, how much substantial return could we actually have gained? This question may be worth our contemplation.
