There is a $500 billion blockchain because a 15-year-old boy cried himself to sleep over a World of Warcraft update.
In 2010, Blizzard nerfed Vitalik Buterin's favorite Warlock spell in World of Warcraft.
His own words: "I cried myself to sleep, and that day I realized the horrors that centralized services can bring."
He quit the game. A year later, his father introduced him to Bitcoin.
He couldn't mine it and couldn't afford to buy it.
So he started writing articles for a cryptocurrency blog for 5 BTC each, which at the time were worth about $3.50.
Those 5 BTC are worth $335,000 today per art

Following our previous roadmap, BTCremains locked in the $70k-$73.5k range as liquidity builds up for the next volatile shift.
As we approach the $70k-$73k range, the market sentiment is reaching a boiling point. While many are chasing the breakout, the data suggests we are entering a heavy liquidity sweep zone.
Specifically, the $73,500 level is acting as a massive magnet for buy-side liquidity. If we don’t see a sustained reclaim of the $75k-$77k area, this move could just be a "marinating" phase before a deeper correction toward the mid-cycle support levels around $50k.
