Back in 2013, my friend Mike couldn't stop talking about Bitcoin. He was convinced it was the future of money and went all-in, investing his entire $1,000 savings. We all thought he was crazy, especially when the value dropped to half within a month. But Mike held on, confident in his decision. Fast forward to late 2017, and Bitcoin's value skyrocketed. Mike's initial investment had grown to over $100,000! He used some of that money to pay off student loans and bought a modest car. From then on, Mike became our go-to guy for cryptocurrency advice. While many of us still don't fully grasp the intricacies of crypto, we all learned one thing: sometimes, believing in the future means seeing potential where others see risk.
