I don't even know what blockchain is. It's the technology that makes cryptocurrency possible or something like that. |

He was early getting into Bitcoin, kudos to him. But if you were among the masses that invested before the big crash in 2017, then you wouldn't be a millionaire right now. Early adopters are few. |

The blockchain is the future of commerce! It's future tech for sure, but what bothers me is that everyone supposedly know that their cryptocurrency is going to be the one that matters. They can't all be winners. Some guy I work with is balls deep into Ripple (XRP). The dude is only 24 years old, but he has sunk over 20 000 USD into it, claiming he'll become a millionaire some day. Sucks for him though that he's in the negative right now. |

I don't even know what blockchain is. You aren't the only one. I feel like most people don't have a grasp of what cryptocurrency is beyond perhaps Bitcoin. I just recently researched the topic due to a guy at work constantly talking about Ripple (XRP). The way he talks about it makes it sound too good to be true, as is often the case when it comes to investments. |

Yes, Bitcoin was the one he started with, and the one he asked me to join back then. I just didn't have the cash, but he did not stayed with Bitcoin, instead he started his own cryptocurrency back in 2017. Just last year he used to pay me to find him girls to go on vacation with him, but I was too busy at the time, and I only did it for a little while. I just checked, and his market cap is above 60 million right now. I have other multi millionaire friends too, that also asked me to join their venture back then, but I was younger, and I had other priorities, so now that I think about it, it does hurt a bit. Although I can't really complaint, my life has been pretty fulfilling, and fun, with some ups and downs too, but that's what makes life worth it. |

That's insane dude, but remember for every success story like this, there's a myriad of broken dreams that pave that road. |

That's insane dude, but remember for every success story like this, there's a myriad of broken dreams that pave that road. I feel a broken dream is just a temporary thing, it only remains broken if you stop trying. To be fair I never dreamed of this stuff, if I had, I know 100% I would be in the same situation. It is never late though, I can still do this if I set my mind to it, but reflecting on it, I still need to motivate myself to want it. I feel it is easy to get comfortable. My life is very comfortable, and I have done things and women others don't even have the chance to do, and I feel that can hold me back to go even further. If I really want to do this, I need to stop being comfortable for sure, otherwise I will remain within the same paradigms, but I admit that it is hard to convince myself is worth it when I'm already happy where I am. I guess my biggest advantage is that I personally know quite a few guys my age that have done it from scratch, so from my perspective it doesn't look as hard as it may look to other people. I just need to activate that desire somehow. |

Remember that you can make right decision and still lose. Luck plays a tremendous role. |
