This! I could literally be worth tens of millions of dollars right now.
I had the disposable cash to invest. I knew about blockchain's potential from reading a lot of blogs about it. Yet, I ended up throwing more than $20k at a dependable blue chip stock instead.
But, I'm ready this time. Already invested in a few cryptocurrencies at low entry points.![]()
Same....I didn't really educate myself on investing until like 27. Started investing at 28.
So I look back at all my foolish purchases and wasteful spending from 20 - 25 like

Like I said, if you put $1,000 into it back in 2012....BTC was trading at $13.00....now that investment would be sitting at $300,000.
And you KNOW some nikkas did that.
Then you have the guys who were up on Bitcoin back in 2010, 2011, 2009 and invested even more than that. They're millionaires.
Bitcoin is just a response to the 2008 Financial Crash. Some people were sick of the big banks having so much power and created decentralized currency. While the rest of the world was glued to the news, focusing on tax bailouts, Occupy Wall Street, AIG and Lehman Brothers, a few smart nikkas around the world were plowing their money into this new platform. I invested in Bitcoin and Etherum so far and, I'm still researching new coins to invest in the near future but, i think of it more as a good investment now than a chance to make serious bread. The cats who got there first got that. What I'm really focusing on is training my mind to see the value in new opportunities the same way these cats saw the value in this years ago because there will be another new new thing that most of the world is going to ignore.
