Back in 2013, my friend Emily, a tech enthusiast, convinced me to buy some Bitcoin. Skeptical but curious, I purchased five Bitcoins for around $100 each. I forgot about them until late 2017 when the Bitcoin frenzy hit the news. I logged into my old wallet and was stunned to see my modest investment had ballooned to over $90,000! I sold three Bitcoins and used the money to pay off my student loans and take a dream trip to Japan. I kept the remaining two Bitcoins, intrigued by their potential. What started as a leap of faith turned into one of the most surprising and rewarding financial decisions of my life.
