I Lost $1 Billion. A Janitor Made $8 Million. Here’s What Happened.
May 2011. A truck stop outside Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I had $15,000 ready to invest. Bitcoin was trading at $1.50. I spent two hours researching. Reading forums. Running the numbers.
Then I watched CNN call it a scam used by criminals.
I closed the laptop. Bought horses instead. Lost $23,500.
If I’d bought Bitcoin that day and held it? I’d be worth approximately $1 billion today.
Meanwhile, 50 Miles Away…
Sam Thornton, a 37-year-old school custodian making $38,000/year, was eating lunch in the cafeteria.
He read the same articles I did. Saw the same warnings. Heard the same fear.
He invested $500 in Bitcoin anyway.
Twenty years later, Sam is worth $8 million. Still works as a custodian. Still drives a 2005 Toyota. Still lives in the $3,000 mobile home he bought at a tax sale.
This is his story. And mine. And how you can avoid my mistakes.
Why Do Regular People Stay Broke While Others Get Rich?
❌ You listen to “experts” instead of doing your own research
I listened to CNN. Sam trusted his analysis. I lost everything. He made millions.
❌ You chase “safe” investments that actually destroy wealth
Horses felt safe. Bitcoin felt risky. I was dead wrong about which was which.
❌ You operate from scarcity instead of abundance
I was desperate. Sam was prepared. That made all the difference.
❌ Your housing cost is bleeding you dry
I spent 78% of my income on housing. Sam spent 5.6%. Guess who built wealth?
