It’s 2024. Donald Trump has just clinched the election again, Bitcoin’s hit a new all-time high, inflation’s running hotter than the DeLorean’s flux capacitor, and everyone’s wondering, “What’s next?” As we all wrestle with the wild pace of history, there’s a flash in the sky, a crackle of lightning, and who should appear but Doc Brown himself. He hops out of the DeLorean, eyes wild and hair wilder, and says, “Forget sports almanacs, Marty! We’re going back – not to 1985, but to 2009, before anyone knew what a Bitcoin even was!”

Yes, we’d all love to jump into that time machine and zip back to January 3, 2009 – the day Bitcoin’s genesis block was mined. Get it cheap, stockpile our wallets, and maybe even tuck a few under the couch cushions. But here’s the catch: Bitcoin doesn’t work that way. Its greatest strength? "Everyone gets the price they deserve." No one gets a free ride, and Bitcoin doesn’t have a rewind button – only a road forward.

Doc Brown was onto something when he said, “Roads? Where we're going, we don’t need roads!” The path Bitcoin forges isn’t one of shortcuts or regrets. It’s a one-way journey to the future, with a price tag that keeps moving forward. It doesn’t care if we wish we’d started at $1 or $100 – it’s relentless, and that’s the point.

Today, people freeze at the current price, haunted by unit bias, plagued by a “missed opportunity” that exists only in hindsight. But Bitcoin’s value doesn’t lie in a magical price point of the past; it lies in the present – in its steady march into the future. And standing on the sidelines, waiting for some impossible dip or trying to summon 2009 prices, is like being Biff: always scheming, always missing the point.

If Marty learned anything, it’s that you can’t stand on the fence and hope things will work out. Biff, forever clueless and out of touch, is the perfect example of what happens when you miss the future staring you in the face. Imagine Biff in 2009 – he’d be mocking Bitcoin, laughing it off, and then spending decades regretting every lost satoshi. Don’t be a Biff. Don’t let hindsight or wishful thinking stop you from joining the future.

We all wish we’d snagged Bitcoin at the price of a coffee, but that DeLorean opportunity is long gone. Doc Brown would tell us the same thing he told Marty: “The future is what you make of it, so make it a good one.”

So, next time you’re looking at Bitcoin’s price today, heart pounding like you’re about to hit 88 mph, remember: there’s no going back to 2009. There’s just the next block, the next satoshi, and the next step forward. Where Bitcoin’s going, we don’t need time travel – we just need the courage to act. And like Doc would say, when it comes to Bitcoin, where we’re going, we don’t need regrets.
