You buy 5 bitcoins for $450 each in 2016. It’s what you can afford. You sell them for $10,000 each in 2018, timing it decently just before a bigger drop.
Congrats on your $48k.

Look at this youngin, turning 18 in 2016. Enjoy your knees and shoulders while you can. 2009-2010, you hear about this “Bitcoin” thing for the first time. You remember some old fart telling you about it years ago, but you had no idea what they were talking about and assumed they had mental problems. You decide to download it and start mining it, it doesn’t hurt anything. It just uses your CPU to mine them. You let it run and quickly forget about it. Eventually, you get tired of it slowing your computer down. You have a few thousand coins by now, so you shut the miner down and put your wallet somewhere safe. Then you forget all about it, until about 2021…
