Back in 2013, my friend Mike, a tech enthusiast, couldn't stop talking about Bitcoin. He was convinced it was the future of money. One evening, over beers, he convinced me to buy $100 worth of Bitcoin, which at the time was around $13 per coin. I didn't think much of it and promptly forgot about my small investment. Fast forward to 2017, during the height of the Bitcoin craze, I stumbled upon my old digital wallet and was stunned to see its balance had ballooned to over $15,000! I cashed out a portion to pay off some bills and treated my family to a vacation. While I didn't become a millionaire, that little leap of faith in the early days of cryptocurrency certainly paid off in an unexpected and delightful way!
