[My 78th Move in Life] In 2016, the match between Lee Sedol, 9-dan, and AlphaGo. After losing the first three games, Lee Sedol played his 78th move in the fourth game. That unexpected move shook the entire flow of the board— and Lee Sedol won the fourth game. AlphaGo ultimately won the overall match. But every time I think of that 78th move, I’m reminded of one thing: Even when everyone expects a predetermined outcome, you can still think for yourself and choose. You can ask whether there’s another path besides the one everyone takes for granted. For me, that one move was Bitcoin. There was a time when I assumed it was natural to earn money and entrust it to a bank. But at some point, I began to ask questions: What rules govern the money I’ve spent my life earning? Who decided those rules? And how much direct control do I truly have over the fruits of my labor? I studied to find answers—and I encountered Bitcoin. I started creating my own wallet, holding my own keys, and running a full node to verify the rules myself. It’s not just the convenient path. The more you take responsibility for your own storage, the more you bear the burden of mistakes and security. When prices fluctuate, your choices are put to the test. Still, I don’t want to hand over complete control of my money to someone else. Bitcoin isn’t for me a single move to get rich quickly. It’s the move where I chose, for myself, how to protect the value of my time and labor. Just as Lee Sedol did, your single move won’t instantly reverse all outcomes. But from the moment you place that stone, the board you see changes forever. What is your 78th move in life?
