I was an early bitcoin miner. I sold a bunch of coins over the years, but still holds a significant stash of them. None of the numerous bubbles and crashes scared me. $30 down to $2, $260 down to $50, $1200 down to $200. Meh I have seen it all. I have been a huge believer in bitcoin since the beginning. Today 85% of my wealth is still in bitcoin, 5% in alts, and 10% in index funds and real estate. Before that I was a software engineer. Materialistically my life hasn't changed much. Ok I paid off the mortgage on the house, bought a nice car, some gadgets. But that's it. However mentally my life has changed a lot. I quit my job and spend time with family, traveling... Now I'm an entrepreneur working on scratch-my-itch project ideas.
