How did I make it?

I realised that the reason that I had become such a social failure was that for various reasons I had become a total economic failure. Then I noticed that domains like bitcoin.fund were going for 3mn whereas domains like bit-coin.fund were going for $7. So then I thought what gives if I buy domains like bit-coin.fund? I will at least be up there in the 3mn ballpark yes? And that was that really. I bought 150 insurance type domains at 1.99 special offer for the first year with insurance domains often phone number library going for 1mn. To me at least that meant 150mn value of insurance format domains which would have paid for 15% of a 1bn mortgage on buy to let properties. I was in the right ballpark. For a while I totally believed domains like bit-coin.fund and bitcoin.fund were worth about the same in financial terms. So for 150 1.99 domains I genuinely believed I was in the 1bn ballpark. What was it like? It was good, don't get me wrong, but I told someone and was walking around quite often thinking this is totally amazing and fantastic and everything but not all that totally 100% amazing and fantastic. I remember walking along thinking is this all there really is to it? The 1bn ballpark? Then I got true 100% reliable valuations from Estibot, approved by the IRS and found out the truth, but I found out what it was like to truly believe that I had made 1bn for several months. Nobody can ever take that feeling away from me. Ever.

Another mix-up I made once was when a business associate was talking about it being wise to keep the fuel tank full. I took that as my cue to get out of town so I loaded up the 4l V8 and caught the ferry to England ending up coming back on the ferry from France after a few months.
