 Naaa... It was a fair comment. It's a lot of money we're talking about. What's crazy is that I was in rough shape when I bought the bitcoin back in 2011. I was dealing with some medical issues, and I was living in a hotel. I had been saving for the up-front fees required to move into an apartment, and I made the impulsive decision to buy the bitcoin instead. It was a gamble, and it took me another 6mo to get an apartment and move out of that hotel, but it was ultimately a great decision tho I was regretful and ashamed at the time. It's crazy how life works out sometimes.
