My life lesson

When I first heard of Bitcoin back in December of 2016 I was beyond excited. I was overwhelmed by all the thoughts that ran through my head. At first I thought to myself this can't be real, then the more i researched I realized I stumbled across something that was beyond real. Right off the bat I started telling everyone, my girl, my kids, my friends and even my ma who I knew would for sure just roll her eyes. All the new info was so exciting and overwhelming I just wouldn't shut up about it, everyone thought I was crazy. My buddy actually stopped visiting me because I was trying to convince him to try this whole thing out with me, you know download wallets and drop a few bucks. I've always been labeled a little off but now with me ranting about this Bitcoin thing i could tell most people I threw me in the outright crazy category. I figured since I was the only one in my entire life that would even pay attention to even 5 seconds of the Bitcoin currency that i probably was just falling into a trap. I continued googling Bitcoin and I kept watching it grow and grow finally when I seen it had gone from what I remember being $800 all the way up to $18,000. It that was a stab in the face about 2 weeks later my buddy came back by and he was so excited to tell me that someone he knew explained the whole Bitcoin thing to him and he had purchased around $100 worth of Bitcoin. I'm pretty sure by now he lost his money. I can't be upset at him or anyone else that I missed out on probably one of the easiest methods to make a lot of cash quick I can only be mad at myself for not following my gut. after all I was the one doing the research not them. I can only take this as a life lesson and go for what I know regardless of what anyone else thinks.
