And also later on, I picked up that, you know, ready money is a really good thing. So, like when the markets have a downturn globally. So we saw that during COVID, I was in Jamaica at the time.
SourceAnd, you know, once the airports went closed, anyone who had like maybe like, say, a travel or tour service, if they had like nine vehicles, there's a strong chance they were selling three of them. If they own three boats, two of them were up for sale. If they had four or five guest house properties, chances are two or three were up for sale.
And by holding Bitcoin at that time and having access to, you know, capital outside of just like the real world systems. I personally was able to get my first property right around COVID. It was an instance where the previous owner wanted to, she was Canadian.
She wanted to catch a repatriation flight before everything got shut down. So it was just a really huge opportunity. And I remember tweeting on tweeting, like, you know, I've just... It's posting now.
It's posting now. No, I'm just kidding. Yeah.
You're back at that time. I'm just kidding. You know, like 1.2 Bitcoin.
I think the price was like, it wasn't, it was like 9.6 at the time. That was the year we ran up to like $50,000. But thankfully, I was involved with a couple of other things.
I don't want to get too much into that. I never left the market, so to speak. But interestingly enough, I don't regret it at all, because by having Bitcoin and having funds outside of the traditional system, when that downturn came, I was able to capitalize on it.
And almost benefit from the lessons that I learned during the recession, when I basically felt like the world was over. I lost everything. Everyone knows growing up in the States, your credit goes from like 690, 700 to five something.
