我应该交易多大？

我记得我生动地进行加密货币交易的时候……我开始了……

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wish I had invested in Bitcoin earlier. Not that I'm complaining about my gains—trust me, I'm grateful. But seeing how small early investments could've blossomed with time is mind-boggling.

我不敢相信我是这样说的，但是我希望我早些时候投资了比特币。并不是说我在抱怨自己的收益 - 信任我，我很感激。但是看到早期投资会随着时间的流逝而蓬勃发展，这令人难以置信。

For instance, if someone had put $1,000 in Bitcoin in 2013 at around $130 per coin (which seems like ages ago), that investment would be worth an incredible $2.1 million today, considering Bitcoin's current price of roughly $70,000. It's enough to make anyone's jaw drop.

例如，如果某人在2013年将1,000美元的比特币投入了每枚硬币约130美元（似乎很久以前），那么考虑到比特币目前的价格约为70,000美元，这项投资今天的价值将是不可思议的210万美元。足以使任何人的下巴掉落。

It's especially interesting to compare this with investing in the S&P 500 at the same time. Of course, the stock market has also performed well. If someone had invested $1,000 in the S&P 500 in 2013, their investment would be worth about $3,000 to $4,000 today, depending on when in 2013 they invested. This is still a decent return, but it pales in comparison to Bitcoin's astronomical growth.

将其与同时投资标准普尔500指数进行比较是特别有趣的。当然，股市也表现良好。如果有人在2013年的标准普尔500指数上投资了1,000美元，那么他们的投资今天价值约3,000至4,000美元，具体取决于他们在2013年投资的时间。这仍然是一个不错的回报，但与比特币的天文增长相比，它显得苍白。

However, what's even more striking is that if someone had invested $1,000 in the S&P 500 at the same time and used a dollar-cost averaging strategy over the year to buy roughly $83 per month, their total investment by the end of 2013 would be $12,000. Yet, if they had invested that same $1,000 in Bitcoin at the beginning of the year and used a similar dollar-cost averaging strategy to buy roughly $83 per month in Bitcoin, their coins would be worth an astounding $2.8 million today.

但是，更令人惊讶的是，如果某人同时在标准普尔500年投资了1,000美元，并使用一年中的美元成本平均策略每月购买约83美元，那么到2013年底，他们的总投资将为12,000美元。但是，如果他们在年初投入了相同的1,000美元的比特币，并使用类似的美元平均策略每月购买大约83美元的比特币，那么他们的硬币今天的价值将达到280万美元。

It's clear that even with a dollar-cost averaging strategy to diversify investments over time, Bitcoin's performance is leagues ahead. It serves as a stark reminder that timing and asset class selection play a crucial role in investment success.

很明显，即使采用美元成本的平均策略来使投资随着时间的流逝多样化，比特币的表现也是未来的联赛。这是一个明显的提醒，时机和资产类选择在投资成功中起着至关重要的作用。

Of course, past performance isn't necessarily indicative of future results. But looking at the big picture, Bitcoin's long-term growth trajectory is nothing short of remarkable. It's no wonder that more and more people are turning to this digital asset class as a hedge against inflation and a potential vehicle for wealth creation.

当然，过去的表现不一定表明未来的结果。但是，看看大局，比特币的长期增长轨迹无可厚非。难怪越来越多的人正在将这种数字资产类别作为对冲通货膨胀和潜在创造财富的工具的对冲。

As for me, I'm still marveling at those early Bitcoin prices and wishing I had started investing sooner. But hey, at least I'm here now, ready to continue this journey into the world of crypto with an open mind and a willingness to learn. Who knows what the next chapter holds? But I'm excited to see where this path leads.

至于我，我仍然对那些早期的比特币价格感到惊讶，并希望我早点开始投资。但是，嘿，至少我现在在这里，准备继续以开放的思想和学习意愿继续进入加密世界的旅程。谁知道下一章有什么？但是我很高兴看到这条路的前进。
