OKX June 1st Special Edition: Unveiling the Top Ten Crypto Celebrities' "Coinbabe" Development Plan

Ten years ago, Bitcoin was a technological novelty; ten years later, it has become a global consensus on value.

If owning Bitcoin was crucial a decade ago, now "leaving some Bitcoin for your child" might be the most visionary decision.

A house may be subject to purchase restrictions, depreciation, or even obsolescence by the times; whereas a Bitcoin can serve as a border-crossing, risk-resistant free chip.

It is not just an asset but also a greater choice we leave to the next generation—a future world with more possibilities, a life not defined by the system.

As Children's Day approaches, let us, from the real perspective of industry practitioners, chat with OKX about a bold yet realistic question:

How do the top cryptocurrency dads pass down Bitcoin to their "coin kids" to ensure that the "coin babies" have an edge from the start~~

1. @Shenyu (Co-founder and CEO of Cobo)

Q: For you, is "leaving some Bitcoin for your child" more of a belief or a hedge? Many people worry that it's already too late to join the game; what is your view on the timing for the "average person" to enter the market?

A: Although I used to think that way and was prepared to leave some BTC for my child, my perspective has changed slightly this year—excessive exposure to crypto assets can undermine his spirit of exploration and sense of responsibility. I will only use a small amount of Bitcoin as a baseline guarantee and consider curiosity and values as the true family heirloom.

For the average person, entering the crypto world does not depend on whether it's "early or late" but on whether they are willing to grow with the industry cycle. Today's market infrastructure, regulations, and application ecosystem are far superior to the past, providing a higher survival rate and compressing the space for windfall profits. Latecomers should: first assess their risk tolerance and cash flow, decide on a long-term position they can afford; use dollar-cost averaging instead of a large one-time investment to spread the risk of timing into a time dividend; consider buying coins as acquiring a learning pass, tracking technological progress, experiencing real applications, and synchronously appreciating cognition and assets. In this way, missing the early days does not mean missing the opportunity; by participating with a clearer perspective, what you get is a more stable power of compounding rather than the thrilling roller coaster of extreme fluctuations.

Q: How do you view the increasing number of people who used to question whether Bitcoin was a scam but are now secretly dollar-cost averaging in? Some say, “Trading gold is for wealth preservation, trading Bitcoin is for the future.” Do you agree? If a parent who doesn't know much about crypto asked you, “Is it really reliable to leave Bitcoin for my child?” how would you respond?

A: As a long-term Bitcoin holder who regularly dollar-cost averages into BTC, I firmly believe in the future of BTC. Compared to gold, BTC's hedging properties are indeed not very strong, considering the price volatility of BTC is still quite significant. However, as BTC advances further into the regulatory space and more high-net-worth traders are willing to include BTC in their trading strategies, I believe in a brighter future for BTC.

Additionally, I'd like to mention that data has already shown that for a long period of time, BTC has been flowing into the hands of long-term and high-net-worth traders. Data from 13F filings and spot ETFs have indicated that high-net-worth traders and institutions in the U.S. are holding more and more BTC, which will also drive the "dollar-cost averaging" herd effect. Since my first BTC purchase in 2018, I have been consistently increasing my BTC holdings, with monthly dollar-cost averaging of BTC. These BTC holdings are the best gift I can give to Chipmunk (my son), and I believe that in the future, BTC can offer even greater financial value.

Q: “Giving a child a house is not as good as leaving them a Bitcoin,” what do you think of this statement? Or, how would you interpret the anxiety and hope behind it? Do you think that in the coming years, Bitcoin can play a formal and stable role in a family's assets?

A: From the perspective of potential growth, Bitcoin has seen significant price increases and has unlimited potential. For instance, reaching $1 million per Bitcoin, but it will take time, and the timeline is unknown, possibly many years. However, a house, for example, a house currently worth $1 million, although it has limited upward potential compared to Bitcoin, is currently valuable. Therefore, to strive harder, changing it to "leaving 10 Bitcoins" may be more reliable.

It varies from one family to another; this world rewards the first wave of embracers of new things. For myself, Bitcoin has already become such a family asset. However, if one day Bitcoin becomes a formal and stable part of the assets of billions of families, its massive potential for upward growth may end, and it may become an asset that rises by up to 30% per year like gold. In that case, I may have to seek the next asset with higher growth potential.

Four, @Mandy (Founder of Odaily)

Q: From a media perspective, how do you view the "reversal of reputation" of Bitcoin over the past decade? Do you think it is now time to seriously discuss "including Bitcoin as part of a household's assets"?

A: Bitcoin's "reversal" is essentially a redefinition of its value by the mainstream world. Ten years ago, it was seen as a fringe technology challenging regulation; today, exchanges are moving towards compliance, several countries have established clear regulatory frameworks, and the US Bitcoin ETF has achieved billion-dollar trading volumes. This is not only institutional acceptance of Bitcoin's underlying logic but also a validation of its role in the global asset allocation system. As Wall Street enters the scene and policies gradually standardize, Bitcoin has shifted from being a "rebel" to being "part of the establishment." It has not changed, but the world is reconciling with it in its own way.

Indeed, especially from a global perspective, this is no longer a cutting-edge topic but a practical consideration. With high inflation, frequent wars, and currency devaluation being commonplace in many countries, the "cross-system security" of household assets is becoming increasingly important. As a decentralized asset that does not depend on any single sovereignty, Bitcoin provides a logical alternative. More importantly, with its fixed supply, ongoing institutional adoption, expanding global consensus, and the long-term price support from scarcity, it remains worthy of a long-term and rational place in a diversified portfolio.

Five, @Liam (Founder of Deep Tide TechFlow)

Q: As a seasoned media professional, in your view, what has Bitcoin "changed" and "not changed" in this decade? What is Bitcoin to you? What is your personal trading logic and allocation method?

A: The main "change" in Bitcoin has been external. Ten years ago, it was still a toy for geeks, but it has now entered the trading portfolios of global listed companies. From an experimental project of a niche group of geeks, it has evolved into a mainstream asset, with its price soaring from a few dollars to over one hundred thousand dollars. At the same time, the ecosystem built around Bitcoin is increasingly sophisticated, giving rise to a whole new digital economy sector.

What has "not changed" is internal. Bitcoin's core principles have always remained unchanged, such as the total supply of 21 million and the POW mechanism. More importantly, Bitcoin's value narrative of combating inflation and maintaining financial sovereignty has not weakened over the past decade but has been repeatedly validated and strengthened amid global financial turmoil. You see, Bitcoin is still Bitcoin, just the price has changed, and people's attitudes have shifted accordingly—rising prices are seen as revolutions, while price drops are dismissed as scams. Life is similar in this regard; when your life's "price" chart is up, all you hear is praise and cheers, but when it's down, all you hear is skepticism of deception. To be strong is to be invincible, just like Bitcoin.

When I first learned about Bitcoin, a sentence from Li Xiaolai left a deep impression on me. He said, "Bitcoin is the first time in human history that private property rights have been sacred and inviolable through technological means." In my view, this is the value of Bitcoin, true financial sovereignty. So, for me, Bitcoin is like life-saving money, while also upholding the idea of "accumulating enough Bitcoin for the next generation," treating Bitcoin as an inheritance, of course, provided there is a next generation. When it comes to Bitcoin, I've suffered too many losses, such as having multiple Bitcoins stored on an exchange that later exit scammed, and believing in "friend recommendations" and "insider information" on the eve of a bull market, selling Bitcoin to buy into a shitcoin, resulting in a 70% loss. Therefore, my choice now regarding Bitcoin is to simply hold it, not to attempt any day trading or similar activities. Sooner or later, those trying to play the market will end up with nothing. Understanding what kind of person you are is crucial.

Six. @Wesley (Web3 Silicon Valley Chinese Serial Entrepreneur)

Q: What do you think is the biggest misconception the public has about Bitcoin? From an asset allocation perspective, is it bold or reasonable to include Bitcoin in a child's "life starting line"? If you do decide to leave some Bitcoin for your child, when would you choose to tell them? What do you hope this asset transfer will convey?

A: From an asset allocation perspective, I think this is not "bold" but "foresightful." What you leave for your child is not just money, but a stepping stone to participate in the future global value restructuring. If you really want to leave some Bitcoin for your child, I may not tell them too early—I hope that after the age of 18, they will have their own understanding of "value" before opening this "time capsule." Let Bitcoin accompany them as they grow. This asset transfer conveys not only money but also a way to understand scarcity, long-term thinking, and systemic thinking. I don't want to just give them a key but let them know that behind the door is an entire system.

Seven. @Jeffrey (PANews COO)

Q: If it were you, would you leave some Bitcoin for your child? Is this emotionally driven or a cognitive choice? As a parent, how do you view the idea of "leaving Bitcoin for a child"? How would you explain the "significance of Bitcoin" to your child?

A: The answer is yes, and I have already done so. I believe many crypto parents would do the same. It's a dual drive of cognition and emotion. Cognition determines what I do, and emotion determines how much I leave. Each generation has its own gold, just like the older generation buys gold for the younger generation, I also buy a certain amount of Bitcoin to transfer to my child's prepared wallet on important days such as the child's birth, Chinese New Year, or during a bear market. By the way, I've also squirreled away a bit of Ethereum for the kid.

I believe this idea should become more and more popular, just like setting up insurance for children nowadays. At the current stage, children won't be explained the significance of Bitcoin. Because this generation itself was born or lived in the era of the information explosion and the era of crypto heading towards mass adoption, the understanding of crypto assets, Bitcoin should gradually accumulate through learning, social interactions, daily use, and other means. Of course, during the growing process, it's necessary to help children establish the right values and worldview. When they have a certain understanding of money and spending, allow them to manage a portion of Bitcoin.

Eight, @Tiny Bear (Founder of Dappbirds Community)

Q: How do you view Bitcoin? From a parent's perspective, what do you think is the value of children owning Bitcoin?

A: Many people are accustomed to using the company's valuation logic to measure the value of Bitcoin, thinking from the perspective of "utility," Bitcoin seems to lack a truly usable "product," so they conclude that it should not have value. However, in my opinion, Bitcoin is more like a "digital nation," and its value comes from its "citizen count" and "economic activity." This nation advocates freedom and fairness, does not deprive anyone of their property, nor does it prohibit anyone from participating—these characteristics, rather than the so-called "utility," may be the true precious value.

Allowing children to own Bitcoin is a way to help them understand "long-termism." Life is also like this; in the short term, we may be in a trough or briefly at the top. But we hope that children do not get too entangled in momentary gains or losses but learn to focus on themselves and maintain composure. Just like Bitcoin, life's rewards also come from the compounding effect of time.

Nine, @Tony Li (Dragonfly Head of Post-Investment)

Q: Compared to traditional assets such as real estate, gold, etc., what does Bitcoin represent? Has Bitcoin become part of your family's asset allocation? Why?

A: With nearly a decade of industry experience, to me, Bitcoin is a deep faith. It represents a new asset paradigm that is more efficient, more free, and more resilient to risk. Compared to traditional assets like real estate and gold, Bitcoin's core advantages mainly lie in three aspects: better efficiency and liquidity, greater long-term value storage potential, and better ability to deal with global risks and changes.

Yes, Bitcoin is now a significant part of my family's asset allocation. I believe it is an asset that will benefit our next generation the most. If I have to choose an asset to leave to my children, it will definitely be Bitcoin, along with faith in Bitcoin.

Ten. On-chain Influencer (Top KOL)

Q: More and more parents are seriously considering allocating Bitcoin for their children, what does this indicate? How has your view of Bitcoin changed from the past? Why has this change occurred?

A: Bitcoin has become a mainstream asset, and it can even stand shoulder to shoulder with traditional financial assets. The consensus on Bitcoin is constantly expanding, and many parents have already regarded Bitcoin as a long-term investment tool, similar to buying education funds for their children. The traditional financial system has many unstable factors, and Bitcoin can perfectly address these pain points. Allocating Bitcoin for children is the most advanced form of wealth inheritance.

The biggest difference is in the perception of transaction return rates. Previously, it was believed that Bitcoin's market size was too large and its upward potential was not as good as altcoins. Retail investors used to buy altcoins or meme coins to change their destiny, so they hoarded a bunch of altcoins, memes, NFTs, but most of these assets did not perform as well as Bitcoin. The reason for this is that as more and more institutions and users outside the circle enter the market, Bitcoin is the recognized preferred asset for trading. For retail investors, they can take risks for higher gains through various forms such as rug pulls, meme coin pumps, but the most sensible approach after gaining profits is to convert them into Bitcoin.
