Fun fact: I never invested in anything successfully until my 30s when I joined a penny stock trading group in my office. It was the summer of 2013 and it was my turn to pick the next stocks to buy. I was reading an article about how marijuana was about to become legal in Colorado and Washington at the beginning of 2014 and I randomly picked two companies in the weed business and we all dropped a few hundred bucks on them. It was more or less all I had in my bank account but I had a crazy feeling this would work. As the year came to an end the investments went up by about 10x and my instincts told me to sell. Glad I did, because soon after the new year they both crashed hard, because the companies were actually worthless. My coworkers were thrilled, and they asked me to pick the next one. By that point I had learned about bitcoin, so I took the profits and bought my first sats. At basically the top. Over the next year, I watched it dwindle, until I was down close to 80%. Most of my officemates who bought the top with me sold, and a few of them laughed at me because I kept buying. They’re not laughing now, though.
