In 2010 my son was a 15 and wanted to build a Crytpo Mining Rig to mine BTC.

I asked him to work up a build sheet, IIRC it was going to be $3-$5K depending on how nuts he went.

I told my wife, we should buy 5K in BTC, I had no idea how to buy it back then. My wife sounded like a lot in this thread, crapped all over the idea.

I dropped it and so did my son.

My buddy Alex was all in on it. He built mining rigs and had a quite a bit of it.

In 2017 when it hit 9K he cashed it all out and payed off his mortgage. IIRC he cashed out $140K in BTC he held about 15 BTC at the time.


He would go on to regret that move.
