Back in 2013, my friend Jake, a tech enthusiast, stumbled upon Bitcoin when it was worth just around $100. Skeptical but curious, he decided to buy 10 BTC. Fast forward to 2017, Bitcoin's value skyrocketed to nearly $20,000. Jake, who had almost forgotten about his investment, suddenly found himself sitting on a small fortune. He used a portion of it to fund his startup, and the rest, he said, was his "digital nest egg." Though the crypto market has been volatile since then, Jake’s story became a legend among our friends, a testament to the unpredictable yet thrilling world of cryptocurrencies.
