Anyway, fast forward to 2016, it must have been.

So I ended up getting a job in Gibraltar for a company called Wavecrest.

Now, Wavecrest isn't around now, but at the time, Wavecrest was just really, I'd say my life is a lot of random luck and coincidences.

WaveCrest at the time was the only debit card issuer of cryptocurrency debit cards.

So what that means is you could load the card with Bitcoins and you could use it to buy things in a normal shop.

So I was like, oh, okay, I know.

So I think I've got a Bitcoin.

So I started working there, started working with, at the time, the only cryptocurrency custodian business, which is a company called Zappo.

And eventually I thought, oh, I'll log into that account where I've got this Bitcoin.

And this is around 2016.

And I went,

oh, that's worth a lot more than 500 bucks now.

Then I saw this thing on, I think it was Coinbase probably, it was around then.

So I think that was where I had it.

And I saw this thing called Ethereum that was trading at $3.

And I thought, well, I still can't figure out how to cash it out.

I'll have a punt on that Ethereum thing.

So...

Fast forward a bit longer, 2017, that Ethereum thing went from $3 to about, I can't even remember now, about $800.

So that's an 800x on $500.
