A “crazy” old drunk guy got me into Crypto, how did you get into Crypto?

In was a late summer night in 2016. I was about to finish my shift at the local bottle shop when I hear a thud. An old guy, reeking of alcohol has faceplanted onto the shop floor.

I ask him if he is ok? He springs up, twirls around and looks me in the eyes.

He says “thank you for helping me stranger, forgive my less than sober state but I just put all my money into magic internet money”.

I replied, “magic internet money? Forgive me but that sounds crazy”.

He replied “No it’s not crazy (then proceeds to burp and fart at the same time), Bitcoin will be the currency of the future, I already have 1000, you should invest too you will be rich”.

He then proceeds to buy the most awful boxed wine and goes in his merry way.

I thought he was the craziest nutter I ever met. If I had listened to him i would be snorting coke in the Bahamas.

I did get into Crypto but only after it took off and I realised this drunk guy was right.

There are two things I learnt that day, firstly always listen to crazy people secondly a burp and fart at the same time is possible.
