I never looked into bitcoin which has clearly been a huge mistake. I never understood how much dirty money there actually is out there and bitcoin is a great resource for that. Expect it to go up even more but no guts to buy any.
That honestly sounds more like desperation than balls. Maybe the guy is looking at his numbers and thinking there is no way to ever get where he needs/wants to be with normal methods. But it is probably a better chance than buying lottery tickets.
