Last week, Bitcoin held its breath. The historic milestone of $100,000 was so close that many had already started celebrating, but the price didn’t quite make it. At the same time, this coincided with Black Week – a week where both retailers and Bitcoin offered "discounts" for new buyers. The temporary price dip became a gateway for many who might not otherwise have taken the step into the world of Bitcoin.

But amidst this Black Week euphoria, it's important to take a step back and think bigger. As Natalie Brunell, the Bitcoin advocate behind the Coin Stories Podcast, so aptly puts it: "The money is great, but the mission is even greater."

Bitcoin

When Bitcoin's price surges and breaks new records, it’s easy to get caught up in the charts and focus on the value increase. For many, it’s the rising prices that attract them – the chance to make a quick buck.

But many who begin their journey for the money soon discover that Bitcoin is so much more than a currency. Once you’ve opened the door, it’s hard not to be captivated by the bigger picture: the technology behind it, the freedom from central control, and the potential to contribute to a freer, less corrupt world.

The price plays a crucial role – it initially attracts with quick profits, but it often keeps people for the mission. As the value grows, more people realize that Bitcoin is about so much more than money.

A Movement Bigger than the Price

Bitcoin is unique. As Brunell also points out, no one buys Apple stock or a nice beach property and thinks, “Oh, now I feel a deeper meaning in my life.” Bitcoin, on the other hand, gives many a sense of being part of something bigger.

It’s not just about the value in your wallet – it’s about the hope for the future it inspires. It’s about giving future generations a chance at economic freedom and a better world to grow up in. Bitcoin combines financial gain with a sense of making a difference. As more people realize this, Bitcoin grows – not just in value, but as an idea.

Sure, we love to see Bitcoin reach new heights, but instead of asking what you can get, think about what you can give.

Black Week: Bitcoin on “Discount”

That’s why we at BTCX, Sweden’s leading Bitcoin platform, chosen to focus solely on Bitcoin. Why complicate things with anything else? Bitcoin is a movement, a chance to be part of changing the world. If you’re considering jumping on the train – start today!

Last week, Bitcoin flirted with the $100,000 mark but instead settled for a Black Week discount. For those who hopped on board, it might just be an extra reason to feel thankful the week after, just in time for Thanksgiving!
