You meet your 18 year old self: What three words do you say?

I'd say that three-way in college turns south quick, trust your gut, grandpa dies on April 18th 2008 - leave the next day to get up there, Roger has cancer - tell him to see a Dr ASAP, and don't buy that shitty townhouse.

None of those are three words.

But, even so, the whole point is that today's valuable stocks didn't cost much back then. What 18 year old couldn't scrounge together $200 in 1999 equivalent money? (I use equivalent because when some of you guys are waaaaay old.)

Bitcoins cost $0.0008 when they were first introduced. Rounded up to 1/10 of a penny, $20 would have bought you about 20,000 bitcoins. Bitcoins currently sell for $11,000 each.

So, $20 worth of Bitcoin at the start would be worth $220,000,000. More, if you sold at the peak of $19,000 per Bitcoin.

"Finish college now."

For retrospect, it took my another 35 years to finish my degree and master's.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own...

Yes, I missed the three word limit. So I'll edit down to "Buy real estate".

What's the point of stockpiling $100 ARs, if you're never gonna sell "it".
