00:00Imagine turning just $27 into $850,000.
00:04That's exactly what happened to student Christopher Koch
00:07when he bought 5,000 bitcoins back in 2009 for a school project
00:11and forgot about it.
00:13Fast forward to 2013.
00:15He checked his digital wallet and boom, almost a million dollars.
00:19But here's the kicker.
00:21If he held onto it till today,
00:22that tiny investment would be worth over $593 million.
00:26Let that sink in.
00:28So how long should you hold your crypto?
00:30Investment expert Fei Chen says,
00:32it's not about timing the market, but time in the market.
00:36Crypto is risky, no doubt.
00:38But if you invest what you can afford to lose
00:40and stick around long enough, the rewards could be massive.
00:43Chen suggests setting goals, like cashing out at milestones,
00:47instead of chasing a magic number.
00:49Because in the world of crypto,
00:50patients could turn pocket change into generational wealth.
00:53So maybe the real question isn't when to sell.
00:56It's how long you're willing to wait for your moonshot.
00:58I'll see you next time.
