In 2022 I exited 2x London real estate investments

I’d bought, leveraged, renovated, tenanted, lived in, and repaired over the lifetime of the proprieties

Duration 2014 > 2022 = 8 years

When I went to sell them, the market went against me, I couldn’t find liquidity

It took a year of trying to sell for a price I was happy with

Ultimately I took a 50% equity haircut to get out

Tbh it was probably more like 60% all costs totalled

My biggest loss as an investor

Horrible

I would beat myself up for days over the situation

Anyways, on the flip side, I knew that everything you own is an opportunity cost to Bitcoin

So I decided to take the loss

And bought Bitcoin at circa £18,000 gbp in 2022

It’s now 4x

£72,000 gbp spot today

What a turn around

Biggest loss, to great gain

The best bit: I can continue to HODL

There’s no place quite like being long Bitcoin

To the hardest moments. I salute you. Night is darkest before the dawn

Let’s make saving great again

Onwards

💪🏻
