A few years ago my friends got into Bitcoin. And I’ve decided it’s B.S. and did not mine my own coins or invest any money in it. A year later they were swimming in money and I had missed out.

I don’t like to follow the masses (and the coin people were the masses to me given that I’m in tech), but when it comes to money markets the “trend is your friend” and the majority is therefore right, because in the markets it moves the price needle so to speak.

Well, the future will show if cryptographic currencies will prevail. It looks like it. But future or not, I’ve missed the boat. But it doesn’t mean independent thinking is bad. On the contrary. Sometimes I’m just wrong.

Luckily I believe I’ve become more open minded since then.
