Back in 2011, my friend Tom stumbled upon a quirky forum post about a new digital currency called Bitcoin. Skeptical but curious, he decided to buy 50 Bitcoins for just $50. Fast forward to 2017, Tom had completely forgotten about his small investment until he read a news article about Bitcoin hitting $10,000 per coin. He frantically searched for his old laptop, praying it still worked. After a nerve-wracking hour of troubleshooting, he finally accessed his digital wallet. The moment he saw the balance, his jaw dropped. His $50 investment had ballooned to half a million dollars. Tom sold just enough to pay off his student loans and held onto the rest. Today, those Bitcoins are worth millions, and Tom likes to joke that forgetting about his investment was the best financial decision he ever made.
