How was I supposed to know that $1/BTC was going to be looked back at as hilariously low? When they hit $40/BTC I cashed out and made a whole bunch of money.
I don't really want to think about how much money I would have if I waited until this week to cash out...
But hey, there is literally no way at all that I would still have those now, so I can't feel bad. I'd have sold at $1, or $100, or $1000. Incomprehensible that I'd have them now and, therefore, be a millionaire.
In the end, I mostly got lucky. I thought it was world changing tech, but I definitely didn't see the ICO boom coming. I thought prediction markets and decentralized markets would drive the price up, but those never seemed to materialize. Which is a shame, because thats what I'd rather see. There's still time, of course.
Its been an amazing ride, but also a huge kick in the balls making more money while you sleep than working your whole life. It certainly changes your view on things.
I guess having a 'fuck you' amount of money would probably make you just work on your own projects full time instead of working for a boss.
Not a millionaire yet but if your in it for the long haul, offer some value to traders in the crypto space and reinvest heavily you can with a lot of work build something that gets you there!
Remember the neo gif... you don't need to be a fiat millionaire, a bitcoin one is more than enough
