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.

Have you ever made a high-risk decision that changed your path? I’d love to hear your story—drop it in the comments below!
