And BTC went from approximately zero to approximately $100K over that time. What else are you advising against at this time? To be honest, I had read an article on cryptocurrency somewhere around '09, and thought, "wow, this is where currency is headed!" I asked a friend who was a nerdy computer programmer type, and he said it was like tulip mania in The Netherlands, so I didn't invest. Sigh.
