I met a well-dressed guy in the baggage claim area in 2011 when offered for a ride back that saves me $80. I accepted with skeptical looks as a Master alumnus and was pretty much disdained by his conversation on how successful and rich he was. He sported a red Mercedes as well. Offered him a tea in my apartment and he accepted to my disappointment.
He started speaking about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, something that was almost unknown in 2011. He offered a $100 investment and like any skeptical man, I rejected, thinking if he had asked for $10, he’d have considered. But we all knew $100 of bitcoins is actually worth $6.5m in December 2017.

Lent ‘friends’ about $12,000 between 2013 to 2017 to six of them. I know some can’t pay back, some who could refuse to and even pretended that they don’t remember it anymore. Lessons are learned and we move on. Prado 1 / quora
