But those worse times are times for immense growth. While others sit and weep by the road, this should be my time to be patient, watch carefully and take bold steps. This is also the year in which I bought my first whole Bitcoin for $24.000. I know I’m late compared to my wife who pointed out Bitcoin after reading a book on it in 2014. But let’s see if it pays out since I’m not late when it comes to believing in the low term potential of the asset class.

2021 (💉) Articles:
Corona eradicated many lives and aspirations, but it did not kill human ingenuity. Within one year, governments and (pharma) companies came together to create a working vaccine quicker than ever before in the history of the human race.
