Bitcoin and Beanie Babies were both fantastic investments. People who got in early made a fortune. You need to buy low and sell high. Most investors miss that basic little premise. The only people that lost money on Beanie Babies were greedy idiots who got in it after the boom had already happened and stupidity thought the things would continue to appreciate for infinity.
A pair of early and actual rare Beanie Babies jsut sold last month for $31,000. The money was and still is there for the people who were smart. It’s the idiots that were lining up at hallmark stores buying the things by the dozen that lost money.
