What's the best way to invest? Wall St won't tell you the secret, but here it is: don't. Find a good money market fund as your base, and clip coupons by building a high quality relatively short duration bond ladder. It's essentially risk free, and it has beaten the market for over a decade now. Sleep well, save well, focus on your career, and enjoy your life -- and though you may not believe me, I guarantee you'll beat 95% of all investors in the long run, and you won't have to pay any "advisors" a nickel.
Amazing that you had the foresight to see the potential as in investment so early. I was first introduced in 2011 but never for a second did I see the actual bitcoin as an investment. It was more of a tool that would be used to change the world in my eyes, the borderless nature of it is what got me inspired but kudos to you for spotting it so early!
