congratulations

I had the epiphany that the money I spend on lottery tickets is better spent on crypto

I failed to have an epiphany around 2013.   Hope nobody takes offense to my description of this event. I was still in the military and I had recently taken up the new hobby of fly fishing.  (I fished the easy way my entire life).  

I made a friend on a fishing forum in Wisconsin around 2012. I was Mister responsible, invested daily my entire adult life, wife and kid.  Drug tested constantly in the military so clean living since forever. I was very conservative, he was extremely liberal in his ways.  He had a couple goals in life.  He was a good chef and all he cared about was flyfishing and smoking some good weed. After meeting him I'm pretty sure his net worth was about $5K at age 35. He was an accomplished flyfisherman and lived by good water so we hung out.  The odd couple for sure.  He knew I invested and he couldn't do that in a real way.  He bought a few bitcoin as they were way under $100 then. He tried to convince me to buy but it sounded like a scam to me. I haven't talked to him for a few years and I am sure he probably sold on the big run around 2017.  Hope it made his life better.  I will reconnect with him and fly fish again but I am not going to ask. I am sure he had 10+ bitcoin and that would have been life changing for him if he held until now.

Wow yeah.  I hope he held onto it.
