I had the same experience. I had a friend when I was in Thailand in 2012 and he told me to buy Bitcoin, but I hadn't a clue what he was talking about... and didn't. It has only appeared on my radar now... now that bitcoin is worth nearly $4,000. I think he paid $5 for his, and God knows how many he bought. He now gads about the world like a jet setter - he's flying to America, just to watch an eclipse as I write this - and I am stuck in Scotland, doing Carework for little over minimum wage. I feel sick as a very sick parrot, just thinking about the opportunity I missed on. So I will be very interested to see how your plan unfolds. I think I am finally going to bite the bullet and buy some cryptocurrencies... even though the whole process sounds quite daunting! Good luck with your venture. I'm going to follow you, to see how you fare. Might bump into you in Thailand some time. I'll be the one hitch-hiking and you'll be the one driving a brand new jeep. Good luck!
