The funny thing about cryptocurrencies… is that people only remember the successes.
For example, if you invested $1,000 in Solana in 2020, you’d now have around $61,000.
At its peak? $184,000.
Crazy, right? But here’s the thing—who actually held it all that time?
Back then, Solana wasn’t the Solana everyone talks about now.
It was just another bet. Another possibility. Another chain in a sea of dozens.
Most didn’t make it. Some vanished quietly. Some rose, then disappeared. Some still exist—but nobody cares.
So when people flaunt those numbers, it feels incomplete.
Yes, Solana did it. But how many $1,000 bets evaporated in the meantime?
How many sold at 2x, 5x, 10x, thinking they were smart—while the rest just faded away?
Or worse… held something else that never returned.
No one tracks the losses. No one talks about the near misses.
The truth is: the result only seems obvious in hindsight.
At the time, it wasn’t “this will reach $184,000.”
It was just a risky deal.
Not every project succeeds. Most don’t.
Yes, there’s profit to be made—but there’s silence about everything that didn’t work.
And that’s the part we should think about the most—not just what happened, but what almost happened and didn’t.
