I believe this thread is breaching your forum name... Or is it the other way around 😉

I think about this all the time, I was young and broke but even 10 20$ and I'd be a millionaire,  it was like 10 cents and my buddy was into that world smh  😢

Seems like a really long time ago that dude was in the NFL, but it was just back in 2020 we drafted him. It was only a fifth round pick, but I’d love to have that one back.

you would’ve sold it for a couple cases of beer when it doubled and that would be way worse

His UGA days are going to allow him to get absolutely loaded doing that job in Atlanta. Nice fallback to have.

I'm pretty sure this is relatively old news. I think this was floating around last year or maybe even the year before.

I think hes doing a local TV news show as well on the weekends where he acts as a football analyst for the UGA Bulldogs. 

 

I'm glad hes able to find work

Kicking ass like that in the SEC or Big Ten pretty much guarantees you can move back near your college and just make bank for the rest of your life. It's analogous to winning a gold medal at the Olympics in a high-profile sport.

Oddly enough, even though crypto is considered a sort of rightwing or libertarian bro thing to be into, my woke AF activist BIPOC wife got us invested in ETH and BTC years ago. Only reason we were able to buy a house here in SoCal.

I feel your pain! 

 

I am part of a big mens group with a lot of big hitters in it from media, tech, music, leadership, business, etc. that meets every Saturday and has all these guest speakers come in.  I remember sitting in the theatre on Saturdays (now we meet via zoom on Saturdays) listening to some of biggest crypto people in the game tell us all the time to just put $10k in Ethereum and let it sit.  Same people who told them to buy bitcoin when it was worth nothing too (I wasn't in the group back then). 

 

Ethereum was at $6 then and that $10k would be worth based on todays price $7,888,033!  I think it about all the time as I had the $10k to do it, but buying crypto was complicated back then, nothing like now to buy or use it, so I just didn't have the time or bandwidth to really dive into it as I had so much already going on with two businesses I was building and running at the time.     

 

There are guys in the group who literally made hundreds of millions getting in early on Ethereum in that group who now live in sick places in like Bali, Dubai, Costa Rica, Malaysia, etc.  Oh what could have been lol.

Even if you bought them, you probably would have misplaced them and that would be way worse (IMO). That is what happened to my buddy. He had a bunch when people used to pass them out for free (he even offered to send me some free back then). But for the life of him, he can’t find them on any hard drive he owns and he has spent a crazy amount of time looking.
