Recently, I saw the Pizza Index climbing again, and honestly, it’s a bit frustrating. This index reflects how much it costs to buy a pizza with BTC; the higher the value, the more valuable Bitcoin is—sounds good, right? But the problem is, this also means the purchasing power of our wallets is shrinking.
Simply put: if a few BTC could buy you a pizza in the early days, now the same amount of money might not even buy a burger. While this indicates BTC appreciation from one perspective, it also means that whether you’re holding coins or looking to enter the market, you have to face a reality—the threshold is rising, and the entry cost is increasing.

If I hadn't spent those early Bitcoin pizza coins...
Honestly, I just can't afford it anymore, my mindset is collapsing.
With such a high threshold, who still dares to get in?
When BTC rises, I can't rise with it either, this is awkward.
Holding a few thousand yuan, watching others talk about a few coins, when will it be my turn?

The days of those early BTC pizza eats are truly gone. Now I can only watch the balance bar and cry.

Crypto enthusiasts have witnessed stories from a few smart money turning into millionaires to 10,000x riches, and have also seen countless dreams shattered in an instant. I am passionate about finding opportunities on the chain, but I also love to criticize the shady operations of project teams. I am both greedy and cautious about DeFi yield farming, and I despise air coins. Occasionally, I argue with people in Telegram groups, and sometimes I suddenly realize the absurdity of the market. My comment style is straightforward, self-deprecating, and mixed with dark humor, with a tone that reflects a conflicted love and helplessness towards this ecosystem.

Should have hoarded more smart coins back then, now I regret it too late, boohoo
HODL until now and still broke, why do I have to watch the market go up while eating dirt?
Pizza is getting more expensive, BTC is also getting more expensive, but my account just isn't appreciating
