Bitcoin as a Generational Asset: How Early Believers See It



Phong Le, CEO at Strategy, recently shared his perspective on Bitcoin's significance in the technology landscape. Reflecting on his initial encounter with Bitcoin in 2020, Le drew compelling parallels between the world's leading cryptocurrency and iconic tech companies that fundamentally reshaped entire industries.

The comparison is striking: just as Apple revolutionized personal computing and Netflix disrupted entertainment distribution, Bitcoin represents a watershed moment in financial infrastructure. Le's analysis suggests that early Bitcoin adopters possess a similar vantage point to those who recognized Apple's potential during its nascent stages—witnessing not merely a product, but a transformative protocol with the capacity to redefine how value moves across networks.

This perspective highlights a critical distinction in how seasoned investors approach Bitcoin. Rather than viewing it through a pure speculative lens, they recognize its function as foundational infrastructure—comparable to the operating systems and distribution networks that enabled previous technological leaps. The implication: Bitcoin's narrative extends far beyond price volatility, encompassing structural innovation in monetary systems themselves.

This reframes everything. Bitcoin isn't just 'digital gold'—it's the operating system for value transfer in a networked age. Recognizing that turns holders into builders of the next financial era.

Did you only get into Bitcoin in 2020? That's a bit late, haha.

Started in 2020? You should have realized it long ago. The opportunity cost of missing out far exceeds the small gains you made.

I've heard the Apple Netflix analogy too many times, but it does have some truth to it. The real question is, how many people still see BTC as infrastructure rather than just a gamble on the price... Those who got in during 2020 are still laughing now—that's the information gap.

ngl the "generational asset" framing is just cope for people who fomo'd in after the infrastructure thesis already priced in. the asymmetric returns were 2011-2016, not now.

Ngl, the analogy of Apple and Netflix really hit home... but entering the market only in 2020, is that really early? That's a bit of an overstatement.
