Back in 2013, when Bitcoin was still relatively obscure, my friend Alex decided to dabble in cryptocurrencies. He invested $200, which bought him around 10 BTC at the time. His friends teased him relentlessly, calling it "funny internet money." Fast forward to 2017, Bitcoin's value skyrocketed to nearly $20,000 per coin. Alex's small investment had turned into a fortune. He cashed out a portion, paid off his student loans, and even bought a small house. The teasing turned into envy, and Alex became the go-to "crypto guru" among his friends. Today, he still holds a few BTC, always reminding everyone that sometimes, the craziest ideas can pay off big.
