Back in 2013, my friend Jake was a tech enthusiast who couldn't stop talking about Bitcoin. One day, he convinced me to buy $100 worth of Bitcoin. Skeptical but curious, I agreed. We watched the price fluctuate wildly, often joking about our "rollercoaster investment." Years passed, and I forgot about my digital wallet. By 2017, Bitcoin's value skyrocketed. Jake called me, ecstatic, urging me to check my wallet. To my amazement, my $100 investment had grown to over $10,000. That unexpected windfall funded a memorable vacation to Japan. Jake and I still laugh about how our tech curiosity turned into a life-changing adventure.
