In the early days of cryptocurrencies, my friend Dave was a skeptic. He laughed at the idea of "magic internet money" and chose to invest in traditional stocks instead. Meanwhile, our mutual friend Jenny dove headfirst into Bitcoin, buying a substantial amount when it was just $200. Fast forward to 2017, Bitcoin skyrocketed to nearly $20,000. Jenny's modest investment had turned into a small fortune. At a reunion, Dave couldn't believe his ears. Jenny, grinning, handed him a cold wallet as a gift, saying, "Welcome to the future." Dave finally got the joke and, albeit a bit late, started reading up on blockchain technology. Today, he's an avid crypto enthusiast, advising others to keep an open mind about innovation.
