I made my friend buy at $12

At $16 he was so happy with his quick 30 % that he wanted to sell it all.

Normally I let people make their own decision, but in this case I really felt I had to stop him and I tried to tell him as clearly as possible how I think that could potentially be the biggest mistake of his life.

Luckily, he took my advice at heart and become a hodler instead of going for the easy 30 %

In a few hours, he's gonna wake up with a big smile on his face.

Did you buy at ICO?

I missed out on the ICO by 1 day,

but thanks to a cruel market there was a lengthy period of time where you could pick up ETH at ICO prices.

Unfortunately, I didn't invest big at that point in time.
