A friend told me about bitcoin early 2017 and he was into shitcoins then as well. I dabbled in a mix of them and it was all new and exciting and rather crazy but then read 'The Bitcoin Standard' which helped me see the fraudulent DINO nature of all shitcoins. Sold all the shitcoins and have just held Bitcoin from then. By that stage my friend had received a small inheritance from his father who had died aged over 90 but it was not nearly enough to buy a house and his income was not enough even to get a mortgage so I suggested take a chance and invest most of it in Bitcoin. He did and now he is able to buy several houses, travel, new car do whatever he wants with life. All his life he was living on a very minimal budget- now he has monetary freedom of choice and can do many projects that would have been impossible otherwise. I feel lucky to learn about Bitcoin from him because he is a techy geeky guy and understands the technology and so explained it from a positive technological perspective unlike all the negative media FUD.
