Back in 2010, my friend Tom, a tech enthusiast, stumbled upon Bitcoin while browsing an obscure forum. Intrigued, he bought 2,000 BTC for just $50. At the time, Bitcoin was a novelty, and Tom mostly used it for fun transactions, even buying a pizza for 10,000 BTC. Fast forward to 2017, Bitcoin hit $20,000. Tom nearly fell off his chair when he checked his wallet, realizing his modest investment had skyrocketed to millions. He cashed out some for a down payment on a house and a much-needed vacation. These days, Tom's story is a legend among our friends, a reminder of how the digital frontier can turn curiosity into fortune.
