In this brief monologue, the speaker reflects on the 2020 cryptocurrency boom and recounts a personal missed opportunity from 2017. He describes how a friend suggested buying Ethereum when it was priced around $100, and he considered investing a large sum but ultimately hesitated. He notes that Ethereum later surged to about $2,000, implying that his potential $1 million investment could have turned into roughly $20 million, expressing regret and a sense of what‑if about the missed gain.

There was the big crypto craze that happened in 2020, I think. And at that time I was like, well, shoot, I missed out in 2017 because I had a guy who was like, hey man, you should buy this stuff called Ethereum. And at the time it was $100. Set up the account and everything. I was going to put $1 million into it at $100. And last minute I was like, what the fuck is this? You know, like, I don't know about this. And so I didn't do it. And then obviously it was at like $2 grand or something. And I was like, man, I would have made $20 million. That would have been chill.
