Anyone who has ever embarked on a trip to the crypto market knows how easy it is to get lost in the countless offers and promises. Daniel Winklhammer, CEO of 21bitcoin, has had exactly this experience — and humorously turned it into a love story. During his presentation at the Blocktrainer event 2024, he talks about how he had opted for another cryptocurrency in the meantime before he finally realized that Bitcoin was the long-term solution he was looking for.
Tempting Beginnings and first Detours
Daniel's story begins as with many: With his first encounter with Bitcoin (or as he calls it: Bittina). Fascinated by the uniqueness and ability to talk about things like inflation and banking crises, he did not dare to take the decisive step at first.
Instead, he was seduced by another cryptocurrency called Ethereum (or as he calls it: Eva) - a tech-loving alternative that promised great potential. Daniel was convinced it was the answer to all his questions. But as is often the case in the crypto market, the hype was quickly followed by disillusionment: Eva's promises fell through, leaving Daniel disappointed.
Back to Basics: Bitcoin
It was only after this painful experience that Daniel began to understand what Bittina had been trying to teach him all along: long-term stability, decentralization, and trust. Bitcoin is not a quick fix or a short-term investment, but a reliable foundation that will stand the test of time.
Conclusion: Think long Term
In his presentation, Daniel emphasises: "It's not the shiny facade that counts, but the long-term stability of value. Bitcoin offers just that." His love story with Bittina is symbolic of the path that many in the crypto market are following - full of temptations that seem promising at first glance, but don't deliver what they promise.
How to avoid wrong Paths
The lesson from Daniel's journey is clear: Bitcoin offers a solid foundation for the future, without false promises or hype. So if you want to save yourself years of trial and error, focus directly on the values that really matter.
