Yesterday, I chatted with my cousin about topics related to the cryptocurrency world and AI.

He is around 40 years old, graduated from National Taiwan University with a degree in Electrical Engineering, and is currently the CTO of a company that applies AI in automotive devices. He usually pays attention to technology, investment, and food.

A few years ago, I talked to him about blockchain, but he always showed little interest and had extreme distrust of the industry.

He mentioned that he has seen frequent incidents that have harmed the industry, such as Mt. Gox, FTX, and various hacking incidents and manipulations (yes, he has actually been keeping an eye on it), so he doesn't want to take those risks.

It makes sense; he is a very conservative person who does things in an orderly manner. However, yesterday he mentioned that he has invested in BTC, which completely surprised me. How could there be such a change?

Trump.

This old man's policies, whether intentional or not, have brought cryptocurrencies, especially BTC, into the mainstream. After all, the most powerful person on the planet leading the charge in cryptocurrency is hard to ignore for those in similarly powerful circles.

The main reason he started buying was the increasing reserves by companies and countries, believing that "in the future," Bitcoin will become the equivalent of gold, and "right now," it hasn't, so there are still excess returns to be had.

So he began to buy BTC on dips. I asked him where he bought it, and he said IBIT, which is the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF.

This answer surprised me. What surprised me was that there are clearly lower-cost, more convenient, and safer ways to purchase it.

But he calmly told me that those options are complex and unsafe.

Being in the blockchain industry, we often have blind spots and a natural optimism, thinking that if something is easy to operate, it must be simple; familiarity equates to safety.

For him, and even for adults outside the blockchain world, and for larger sums of money, they believe that under existing regulatory systems, it is what is truly trustworthy. Stock exchanges have gone through hundreds of years of iteration; although slow, they are stable.

It made me reflect that these things I once took for granted actually have more possibilities when viewed from a different perspective.

Then he told me that he would allocate at most 5% of his overall assets to this, and at this stage, he wouldn't exceed that, as his personality is conservative, he doesn't pursue getting rich overnight, and he still finds joy in his main profession.

5%, although not exciting, actually gives me a more terrifying expectation for the growth of the blockchain industry.
