Since I was a young lad, my father emphasized the need for prudent investment. He also advised me to avoid risky assets like cryptocurrencies, as there was a high probability that my investment would lose all its value.

So, I took my father’s advice to heart and invested in something else. Like he warned, I didn’t invest in Bitcoin or Ethereum or some new hot altcoin.

Instead, I took my life savings and invested everything in NFTs.

I Bought Into The NFT Hype

I was convinced that non-fungible tokens were the future.

NFTs are unique, scarce, and immutable. And I was willing to bet my life savings on them.

Within a month, I took my life savings of $1 million and turned it into $10 million. I was on top of the world. And I should’ve done what any smart person would’ve done. I should’ve taken my profits and cashed out.

But instead, I partied with celebrities at exclusive parties and events, bought expensive cars and designer clothes, and lived the high life.
