<blockquote>“It's kind of fun to do the impossible.” Walt Disney</blockquote>

Oh who doesn't love this Walt Disney quote?

It's so inspirational, yet so concise and so relevant to everyone's life!

For me, this quote means a lot. My entire investing career, people told me that the returns that I was seeking were impossible.

You see, people in the investing space typically make 10-20% per year... In fact, that's kind of on the high end for many people (to do consistently over time).

I started out with $1000, which is a tiny fish in the big ocean of investing.

Instead of focusing on getting a nice steady 10% a year like everyone else, I went out seeking asymmetric upside:

Asymmetric upside is basically just big upside, but with a higher risk. It's when you look for those 3x, 5x or even 10x investments.

This was over 5 years ago, so I wasn't really aware of crypto at the time. BTC wasn't something that I really understood at the time so I focused on options trading instead.

Fast forward 5 years and I've turned that $1k into a whole lot more. I've earned ridiculous returns that everyone told me was impossible!!

Everyone told me that I couldn't do it and that I couldn't take such a tiny amount of money and turn it into something so huge, but I did and now I laugh at the people who tell me that it's impossible!
