Welcome, @life-nerd! Well, you could have better invest in Ethereum at that time. It was 0.95 $ for each in the very beginning of 2016. You could have become a millionaire by investing less than 1,500 $ when it hit 700$ :) Check this out https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20160103/ Best of luck on Steemit!
I am into motivation, psychology and healthy lifestyle, in case you would like to visit my channel :) VALUE guaranteed
I know, but in 2016 I had not heard about Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency, than botcoin : )
