I had a neighbor that bought nearly a whole coin a few years back when it was under $10k. I was very surprised to hear because he didn't seem the type. He told me he transferred it to a company that promises to algo trade it for you. I cut him off mid-sentence. Literally begged him to withdraw whatever he had. He's like no I'm making 0.5% per day, etc. One month later, the CEO disappears in South America with all of the funds.

I was very fortunate to meet a bitcoin OG maximalist at work very early on. It also helped that he was nice about it and not preachy and judgmental.
