I am not sure whats their net-worth today, but since bitcoin price has doubled compared to 2017, they have definitely crossed the billion-dollar mark. Whenever something like that happens, it definitely turns into a bubble. And if you know anything about bubbles, they burst when they get too big. Crypto prices crashed to rock bottom. People lost millions of dollars. It seemed for a moment that was the end of the cryptocurrencies. But, anyone who understood blockchain knew that this technology is here to stay, and in the last few months, bitcoin prices rose again up to 40K dollars. That's twice bigger than it was at its peak in 2017. After the astronomical rise of the stock market in 2020, people are excited to invest since some stocks doubled or tripled or even rose by over 700 percent. So what I want to find out in this video is, how do you find investment opportunities that can turn you into a millionaire? Should you invest in bitcoin? Or, since interest rates are still so low, should you get into real estate? Pay attention because you are about to learn how to find a million-dollar opportunity. If you are ready, give this video thumbs up, and let's get right into it! You just have to be right once! Let me make you feel bad and tell you about all the opportunities that you have missed in the last few years that could have doubled, tripled, or even grew your money by over a thousand percent or more. And bitcoin is just one of many. Since 2015, bitcoin grew by over 12000 percent. Let me just give you an example of what does that means. If you have invested just a thousand dollars in bitcoin back in 2015, which wasn't that long ago, your thousand dollars would have turned to over 120K dollars a year, but if you would have been a little bit more generous and invested, let's say 10K dollars, you would have become a millionaire today since that 10K dollar would worth today 1.2 million dollars. There are people who purchased bitcoins way before 2015 for a fraction of that price, and their thousand dollars worth today at least a few million dollars if not tenths of million dollars. Some people even became billionaires as a result of that. In summer 2019, which was not that long ago, a single Tesla stock was worth less than 40 dollars, and in less than two years, the stock priced skyrocketed to over 811 dollars, that is a 2000 percent increase. What that means is, if you would have invested just a thousand dollars in Tesla a little over a year ago, your 1K today would worth over 20K dollars. In other words, if you would have saved 50K dollars by 2019 and invested your entire 50K into Tesla, your net worth would be today over a million dollars. Imagine turning 50K into a million dollars in less than 2 years. That sounds like a dream come true! In 2012, when the economy just recovered from the mortgage crisis, a small company named Netflix was getting traction. It intended to revolutionize how we watch TV. Instead of watching different channels, you could log in and watch whatever movie you want anytime for a few dollars a month. Not everyone believed in this idea, but those who understood that the internet is undoubtedly the future decided to invest, and the stock price since 2012 rose by over 5730%. Which means, every thousand dollars that were invested in Netflix back then now worth over 57300 dollars. In other words, if you invested just 18K dollars in Netflix in 2012, without doing anything else, you would have become a millionaire today. And you know that?! There are people who invested in Netflix back then much more than 18K dollars and are multi-millionaires today. Let me give you real-life examples. David Cheriton, who is a computer scientist and a professor at Stanford University, came across one of the startups that focused on building a search engine called Google. Back then, it was a tiny tech startup that was desperately raising money, and its founders were even ready to sell the company for a million dollars to yahoo. But Cheriton, who was a computer scientist, understood the potential of search engines. So back in the early days of the company, he decided to invest 100k dollars in this company. And guess what happened later? He didn't just become a millionaire! He became a billionaire and his net worth today is over 8 billion dollars. A single investment turned someone from an average Stanford professor who spent years saving that 100 grand to a billionaire without even participating in growing that company. Back when the pandemic wasn't even a thing. Timothy Springer understood the danger of viruses and the damage they could cause. So around ten years ago, when he came across a biotech company in Massachusetts called Moderna, he decided to invest in it 5 million dollars. The company focused on developing drugs and finding new methods to create vaccines. It wasn't as exciting as electric cars or online shopping, but as a biology professor, he understood the importance of vaccines, so when the pandemic hit the world, the valuation of Moderna skyrocketed, and his 3.5% stake in the company now quals to over 2 billion dollars. He went from 5 million dollars to over 2 billion dollars in a span of 10 years. Unbelievable! I can go on and on and give a million other examples, but here is the point, there have been a lot of opportunities in the past, there are a lot of opportunities today, and there will be a million other opportunities in the future! How many of them you have to spot to become a millionaire or a billionaire! 5? 10? 15? No! Just one! You have to be right just once! As warren buffet says, you don't need to have an opinion on everything! It doesn't matter if you miss all other opportunities! As long as you spot just one and take advantage of it, you are good! The real question is - how do you find such opportunities! Since there are opportunities in every field! Your job is to be exceptional in one field, and you will be able to spot opportunities there. Those who were interested in online payments back when the internet was just getting popular got into cryptos. Gery Vaynerchuk, who was passionate about social media, not only invested a lot of money into Facebook, Twitter, and other social media companies but built an entire company around it and is now worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Warren Buffett is the greatest investor of all time, but he missed the opportunity to invest in Amazon, Tesla, Google, bitcoin, and a million other opportunities. He didn't even invest in Microsoft, although Bill Gates is his close friend and tried to convince him to invest in Microsoft back in the 1990s. But you know what, it doesn't matter! He focused on one niche that he was really good at. He waited passionately and only invested when the opportunity striked. Did he do the right thing? Well, I guess yes since, at one point, he even exceeded Bill Gates and was the richest person in the world, and he is still one of the few richest people on the planet. But here is the mistake that most people make. 2. They invest when they feel they are missing out. Take bitcoin, for example. In 2018, when prices crashed, bitcoin was trading at around 3K dollars. All these "passionate investors" didn't care. They completely forgot about it. But once it's back in the news and rising, everyone suddenly wants to jump in and make a fortune. It's too late already; investing at its peak is a horrible idea because it will crash. Can you get luck? Maybe! Can you get unlucky! Definitely! So relying on luck to make a fortune isn't really the best of the strategies. I am not saying, "don't invest in bitcoin, or don't invest in real estate or the stock market." I am just saying that if you are late to the party, don't risk your money, don't overestimate yourself, and don't try to spot every opportunity out there because you will end up missing them all. Remember that you have to be right, just once! And because you are so good at this field, you perfectly understand how this business, stock, technology is going to grow by 10, 20, even a thousand times in the next few years. So you won't be distracted by the stock market's daily ups and downs. One of the companies I invested in January 2020 was Solaredge Technologies. It didn't seem like an attractive stock back then, but it's one of the few companies I believe is going to be huge in the next few years. In 2020 it grew by over 250 percent, and in my personal opinion, it has the opportunity to grow by another 1K percent, but only time will tell. If you want to be the first to know about my future investments, check out my Patreon. I don't post there every single day because I can't spot great opportunities every single day, but whenever I come across a stock that I believe is going to double, triple, or grow substantially in the next few years, I invest and let my Patreons know about it. In fact, I have also posted my portfolio there. The link is in the description. Anyway, I hope you guys have enjoyed this video.
