萬分感激兩年前決定背著老公偷偷花了 AUD $650 買了兩個 Bitcoin, 今天就便能去這趟價值 AUD $6,000 的浪漫旅行，和買了 AUD $4,000 的沙灘包, 也帶我上了投資 crypto currency 電子貨幣之路。
為什麼買 Bitcoin 要偷偷呢？
老公是個很傳統並腳踏實地的人，老公爸爸是典型中產鬼佬在中東和亞洲地區過著白人生活，曾擔任國際物流公司亞太地區總經理，帶著一家大小在伊朗，沙地亞拉伯，杜拜，台灣和香港等國家工作，公司提供住宿和工人，車子和司機，還有國際學校教育。
而日本籍媽媽辭退了空姐職位，專心跟隨家人周遊列國，打理家庭，照顧三個小孩。
幸福滿滿的老公就在充滿愛和不愁錢的環境下長大，他爸爸一直貫輸要好好讀書，最好讀 business & marketing, 大學畢業後得找份大公司的工作，像爸爸一樣努力工作直到升任到最大經理的位置，安穩地結婚生小孩去的這種傳統人生觀念給他們三兄妹。
由於老公人生一直被安排得不錯，而且小康之家的他從來就有源源不絕的零用錢，根本不會理財。
畢業不久便認識我，之後十年來財務都是我管的 （呵呵呵，正確選擇，把工資都交給老婆管就是正路）
不善理財，不懂賺錢/儲蓄/投資的分別，沒有金融概念也不緊要，但他爸爸就在上一次金融風暴瀨了野，退休金都卡在股票市場裡，卻正在建築退休大屋需要現金，只能蝕賣對現。
老爺也曾經創業，開過好幾次公司，做過好幾次生意，有賺有賠，不過應該風光時老公以為是正常，公司帳務有問題出事要清盤時老公看在眼裏就害怕了。
看到父母曾為公司憂心，曾為股票煩惱，更加就確定了長大後要努力打工，做好本分，不要搞生意，不要投資，承擔不了太高風險的觀念。
2015 年如果我告訴老公：「我要花 AUD $650 買兩個虛擬電子貨幣啊。」
他肯定會昏倒，起來再阻止。
然後我要花好大力氣解釋自己花了幾星期資料搜集，要解釋什麼是 Bitcoin, 想到就覺得口乾要去喝一杯水了。
而且當年我也不能確定 Bitcoin 一定會升值，那時剛好避過了從千二跌到二百和 Mt Got 事件。
我讀到的都是各種理念，別人的分析，有正面也有負面，市場都充滿專家。好像讀餐廳 reviews 的，要看筆者的出發點。
只有時間才能解答當時滿腔疑問，我必須買一點點，才能知道是賺還是蝕。
沒有買過而就一直讚好或説不的人，都只是從旁指指點點，我不想成為一知半解卻充滿意見的人。
非常幸運，我是做對了！
後悔的就是當年沒有買幾十個，不然現在便是百萬富翁啦。🙈😂
不過不能這樣説，因為假如當年買了幾十個然後大跌的話，今天也可能後悔幹嘛花掉積累買虛擬貨幣，倒不如去食大餐之類的話。
花 AUD $650 買的 Bitcoin 變成今天 AUD $11,500 可以贊助我去旅行和買包包的投資結果，好想分享一下。
我相信各種電子貨幣仍然會升，如何升我當然不知道，我猜該會是過山車方式向上升，升 20% 又跌 50% 又升 30% 又跌 10% 再跌 15% 再跌 13% 突然反彈 300%, 考驗大家心臟夠不夠強的。
Crypto currency 現在還是早期發展階段，我會慢慢在 steemit 平台分享個人經驗, 大家看我怎樣致富吧。
人總要在跌跌撞撞下成長，富貴險中求。
Super grateful for the decision to have secretly bought AUD $650 worth of bitcoins 2 years ago, which bring us to this posh AUD $6,000 romantic Fiji getaway trip today, carrying an astonishingly luxury AUD $4,000 beach bag that I'd never thought that I could afford.
And leads me to the journey of crypto currency investment, on my way to a financial abundance life.
I'd like to share this with you, not in a showing off way, I feel like I have placed an order to the universe through the law of attraction years ago and today I received my parcel to have this trip & bag effortlessly.
Why do I have to buy Bitcoin behind my husband's back?
Because I knew he would have rejected me base on scarcity, doubts and unknowns, but I really wanted to give Bitcoin a go.
My husband is a hard working, honest and traditional person, his dad worked as a Vice President at an international logistic company and his family has been living as typical expat white family in the Middle East & Asian countries. Where the company paid for their mansion, maids, car, chauffeur and education for the kids.
Japanese mom quit her flight attendant job in order to follow the family everywhere, took care of the family, ensure that house is clean & kids are all ok.
Husband grown up in middle class lifestyle full of loves & supports, dad would teach them that they must read more books, study well, go to uni, get a job in big international company, work hard, climb your corporate ladder and one day get promoted to be some big managerial roles, get married and have kids.
Having live his well planned life without any money problem, then met me soon after graduation, gave me the power to manage his finance for 10 years, he does not understand much about financial planning, the difference between savings and investing and all sort of investment products.
That's okay, not everyone needs to know how to manage their financial situation, as long as they have someone to help them.
However husband had witness the ups & downs of his dad's money struggle.
Father-in-law's career life wasn't all rosie & rainbows, he lost a huge amount of his retirement funds during the last global financial crisis, he had built business, sold business and made loses in businesses...
As a kid, husband witness when his parents were worry about their businesses, stressed about the stock market, which probably implanted the seed of "I better get a job, work hard, be stable & secure in my job, not to start businesses, 99% business failed in 3 years, investing is like gambling, too risky, I better stick with working hard on my job and get promotion"
Thoughts became things.
Can you imagine if I have told my husband in 2015: "hey babe imma spend $650 for 2 digital money ok?"?
He would freak out and thought that I was crazy.
I would freak out and thought that I was crazy too.
I would have to explain what I have found during my intensive weeks of research, explain what Bitcoin is, to a guy who have no idea about how money works, honestly I can't be bothered.
Also I couldn't be sure if Bitcoin price would have rise to what it is today.
All the researches shown were base on theory, speculation, someone's analysis, pros & cons, positives & negatives, everyone were experts, everyone has their opinions.
It's like reading restaurants reviews, its about someone's expectation & perspective.
Only time can answer all my questions.
It is a part of my growing process.
I'm a believer of myself, I didn't want to be one of those Bitcoin lovers or haters, who doesn't even have one.
I'm glad that I took the courage to buy a couple of bitcoins, that AUD $650 became today's AUD $11,500 so that I can fulfil my dreams of going to a luxury beach resort style holiday with a Chanel beach bag.
I'm really grateful for this and feel great about myself, really wanna share this joy with you guys.
I believe crypto currency / blockchain world is still in their early days, I'm on board to the moon! BE HODL!
How they get to the moon? I can't be sure, probably roller coaster style: up 40% down 16% down 23% up 70% down 15% up 35% down 27%...
My heart is not strong enough to day trade, I'm more like a buy a little and HODL for years person.
Trial & errors, we learn from mistakes.
We choose to get rich by willing to take risks & actions & responsibility.
Now watch me go to the moon Steemit folks ~~
