Today is exactly one year on since I made my first bitcoin purchase. The $3,300 is now worth $15,100. Pretty decent return, huh? An $11,800 unrealised gain. I haven’t sold it, so as you know, this is an ‘unrealised gain’. It would only become a realised gain if I were to sell & bank the profits (which I would pay tax on). It’s a great feeling. You probably think that it’s a great feeling due to the fact that I’ve made $11,800 on paper? Well, that’s great, but it’s not really about that. It’s more about trusting my instinct, research and then having the courage to do something about it...turning those thoughts into action.Hey thanks for listening!
