Back in 2013, my friend Jake was a tech enthusiast who couldn't stop talking about Bitcoin. At a party, he tried convincing everyone to invest, but most of us dismissed it as a passing fad. He even offered to buy us drinks with Bitcoin, though no bar accepted it. Fast forward to 2021, Jake was the only one laughing. His modest investment had turned into a small fortune. He didn't just buy drinks; he bought a house. Every time we meet, he jokes about the "Bitcoin Beers" we missed out on. It's a crazy reminder of how quickly the digital world can change.
