Crypto's $6M Missed Opportunity
Share
Ryan Begelman shares a story about a massive investment opportunity he missed out on due to being too busy.
"I have a COO at my company who invested $150 in a crypto hedge fund. He's now up to almost $6 million in value. I missed that opportunity because I was laser focused on BizNow, Summit, and Powder Mountain. I wasn't looking at deals every day - maybe just one every 3 weeks. I was too busy and just couldn't look at that opportunity at the time."
