Back when I was grinding freelance gigs at 15 bucks per article, all I wanted was to afford a decent computer. Hustled for months just to scrape together enough cash.
Fast forward to today? That machine's worth 3 BTC now. Just sitting there in my closet gathering dust.
Funny how things work out. What seemed like a stretch goal back then became one of those "accidentally did something right" moments. Anyone else got old purchases that turned into unexpected wins?

Wow, isn't this just the feeling of hoarding coins in the early days? The machine is worth 3 Bitcoins now, haha.

technically speaking, you just stumbled into hodling without realizing it—empirically proven the most sub-optimal investment strategy that somehow worked out. if you'd actually *optimized* that capital allocation back then instead of letting it gather dust, the data suggests you'd be demonstrably further ahead. but sure, call it a win i guess
