Back in 2013, my friend Jake was always talking about this new thing called Bitcoin. He tried convincing everyone to buy some, but most of us just laughed it off. One night, after a few too many drinks, I decided to humor him and bought 10 bitcoins for $100. I forgot about it and went on with my life. Fast forward to 2017, and Bitcoin's price skyrocketed. I logged into my old wallet, heart pounding, to find those 10 bitcoins were now worth over $100,000! I cashed out enough to pay off my student loans and left the rest invested. Jake? He’s now living in Bali, still trading crypto and loving life. Sometimes, taking a chance on something new can really pay off.
