Tristan Thompson reveals how he got into Crypto “A buddy of mine put like $1,000 into some meme coin called BOME and ran it up to $50,000. He was calling me not sleeping, bags under his eyes” “I started going down the rabbit hole on CT and seeing random people go from average normal jobs to becoming millionaires” “I was like okay, I gotta figure out what this is because if I’m gonna be the financial guru in my locker room, I need to know what’s going on” “I remember talking to BlackRock, who managed a good amount of my portfolio at the time, telling them I wanted to buy Bitcoin and they told me it was too volatile and not to touch it” “I took their advice at first… but eventually I bought BTC anyway and got the orange pill”
