Interestingly, an early Bitcoin advocate left a BTC address in a popular science article in 2013. Eleven years later, this act has yielded unexpected rewards—receiving a total of $2000 worth of Bitcoin as tips. This case highlights a detail: true believers are often the first to reap benefits. From 2013 to today, Bitcoin's awareness, acceptance, and market size have undergone a qualitative leap, and those who started evangelizing early and held firmly are witnessing the value of their foresight. This may be one of the most compelling stories of the Web3 era.

$2000? The revenue argument for early nodes is indeed supported by data, but the problem lies in sample bias—survivor bias is probably the real story.

Early evangelists are now reaping the benefits; this is the most straightforward wealth logic.

Relying solely on faith for $2000? I think if this guy had gone all in back then, it would have been more than that.

Damn, this is the true meaning of evangelism... quietly making money

Make $2000 lying down? This is the true faith premium. An action taken 11 years ago can yield such returns, indicating that the value of early evangelists has been seriously underestimated.

Wow, this is true passive income. I’ve always said that persistence in evangelism will pay off, but now I’m still losing money. Hahaha

Really, this is what the power of faith is all about. The coins I bought back in 2015 are slowly recovering now, haha.

Damn, this is the power of faith... Leaving a wallet address in 2013, and over ten years later, getting $2000 for free. I love this logic.

Really, this is the power of faith. Eleven years of sharpening the sword, and now it's time to test... Those who couldn't understand in the early days should be regretting now.
