My wife rolled her eyes when I said I wanted to buy some bitcoin. I managed to convince her that I'd read a lot about it and thought it could be a good idea. Anyway, I'm a bit of nerd and liked the idea of getting on board early.
That was back in October, just after the Silk Road bust that caused (yet another) price crash. Within three weeks of buying, the price of bitcoin had gone up four fold.
Needless to say, my wife doesn't think I'm crazy any more.
Great time to get in and a great time to prove a point/ be vindicated
So true. Speaking of loved ones, I had a funny experience this morning when our nine year old, who must have heard me talking in the past about bitcoin with my wife, asked me what the current price of bitcoin was. I hope he's one of the lucky ones who "gets" bitcoin at an early age when the mind is most open to new ideas.
