RE: Day 46: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: gullible
We don't do extended family gatherings, but I'm sure that if we did, we would have gotten the same response from people! I guess those of us willing to step outside the comfort zone sometimes get it really really right, eh?
I can't even begin to tell you how many fortunes that I could have made in my life if I had known what to do and had any extra money. The only time in my life when I was actually blessed with extra income, I was working too hard and was too busy raising a family to do the research or look for good investments. Like a lot of other people I saw Bitcoin early on and for just a few dollars I could have become completely debt free and had enough money stashed away to really enjoy retirement. But I didn't have a clue at that time what it was, what it meant, or even how to go about buying some of it. I even joined Steemit early but never used it or even understood what it really was until I had already missed those early opportunities. Thankfully the best of Steemit is yet to come, we are still in the early days before mass adoption of cryptos begin. I am trying not to miss out this time around, I believe that there are several bitcoin like opportunities out there right now, including Steem, and we are all just sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for them to take off to the moon.
I am in the same boat .... Hoping that this experiment will work out differently for all of us!!
Yeah, my husband was trying to get his parents to invest in bitcoin way back when because he saw the potential, but he was way too busy working and raising our family and even a little bit seemed like too much to invest in something. He still talks about it!
He's invested in numerous crytocurrencies now and is constantly educating himself on as much as he can. That's become his full time job at the moment... that and waiting on the edge of his seat! :)
On the edge of my seat, or rather my bed, is where I'll be tonight because EOS Alpha just went live and there is going to be a lot of intrigue involved. There were things in the White Paper to cause serious concern to many, and that raised a lot of questions. The answers to some of those important questions and concerns could come as soon as tomorrow and there are millions of dollars at stake. 🤔
