A few years back, my friend Jake, a tech-savvy early adopter, convinced me to buy some Bitcoin. At first, I was skeptical, thinking of it as some sort of digital Monopoly money. But Jake was adamant, so I threw in a couple hundred bucks. Fast forward to 2021, I had completely forgotten about my tiny investment until I saw Bitcoin making headlines. I logged into my neglected account, and to my astonishment, my modest investment had turned into a small fortune! I called Jake to thank him, only to find out he'd sold all his Bitcoin in 2015 to fund a trip to Europe. We both had a good laugh, realizing the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrencies.
