Bitcoin and the iPhone, two seemingly unrelated things, can give us insight into the amazing potential of digital assets. Let's take a look back at this interesting phenomenon:



In 2010, if you wanted to buy an iPhone 4 with Bitcoin, you would have to pay up to 2842 Bitcoins. Fast forward to 2015, the price of an iPhone 6s had dropped to 2.67 Bitcoins. Even more remarkably, there are predictions that by 2025, you will only need 0.007 Bitcoins to buy an iPhone 17.

This set of data reveals a thought-provoking trend: although the legal currency price of the iPhone is relatively stable, its value measured in Bitcoin is continuously declining. This phenomenon raises an interesting point: if we use Bitcoin as a measure of value, it seems that the prices of goods around the world are constantly falling.

This phenomenon highlights the unique nature of Bitcoin as a scarce digital asset. Unlike constantly updated tech products, Bitcoin demonstrates a timeless ability to preserve value. This prompts us to rethink the concept of value storage and the role that digital assets may play in the future economy.

Currently, about 0.01 Bitcoin can be exchanged for the latest iPhone. Faced with such a choice, is it better to buy a new phone to meet current needs, or to hold Bitcoin to invest in the future? This decision not only relates to personal consumption habits but also involves judgments about the future economic landscape.

As the digital economy continues to develop, we may need to reassess our traditional perceptions of value, currency, and investment. The price relationship between Bitcoin and the iPhone provides us with a unique perspective, helping us understand and adapt to this rapidly changing digital era.

It's better to buy coins earlier than to sell mobile phones.

I have long said to be bullish on BTC in the long term. Why aren't you buying the dip now?
