“The Internet of Money”. Part 2 - asymmetric risk.

When I first started buying Bitcoin.
I had no idea what I was doing.

I was short on cash, juggling my startup, and staring at financial uncertainty. But I saw an opportunity too big to ignore.

‍

I didn’t know how big Bitcoin would get.
But I knew one thing — asymmetric risk.

‍

The way I explained it to myself, it was ten times riskier than a gold investment but had the potential to return 100x more. 

‍

Crypto was volatile—extremely so.
Within a year, I had lost 70% of my investment.

‍

But I stuck with it.
Learning and rebuilding my portfolio. 

‍

And all the effort was worth it in the end.
That’s the beauty of asymmetric risk.

‍

You risk a lot, but you gain even more if it works.

‍

For me, this wasn’t just about money—it was about giving myself a shot at something I believed in.
