Back in 2013, my friend Jake was adamant about this new thing called Bitcoin. At a small gathering, he passionately explained how it was the future of money, a decentralized currency free from government control. Most of us just nodded politely, thinking he had fallen for another tech fad. Jake, however, took it seriously and invested his entire $500 savings. Fast forward to 2021, Jake casually mentioned that his Bitcoin holdings were now worth over a million dollars. We were stunned into silence. Jake’s story became a legend among our friends, a constant reminder that sometimes, taking a leap of faith can lead to unimaginable outcomes.
