I did it and I will do it again.
I mean who is laughing now? Hehe, you must have come across my posts on here about how I sold few lands to buy some BTC at 17k, well some people thought it was a very bad idea
Since you invested $17,000 in Bitcoin and held it, you will definitely be laughing at the present time. However, at that time when you sold your land and invested, the people around you might have laughed at you, but now you will laugh and they will cry at your success.
