I made 10k from a hackathon this summer and bought ~ 100 bitcoins around $100.

The past few weeks have been surreal. You know you've made a good investment when you're scared of telling people about it. My friends know I'm big on Bitcoin, but have no idea how much I really have. I didn't even tell them about the hackathon prize to them so they wouldn't suspect I would have the cash to invest anyways.

But it's starting to feel weird that I have to one to really talk about the prospect of having a unexpected amount of wealth (if it really does go to the moon). I don't want to make the same mistakes others did during the tech boom of the 90's, and I still want to keep the same set of friends. I'm wondering how to handle this mentally before I have to face the possibility of being a self-made millionaire by the age of 25 without lifting a finger. Talk about the impostor syndrome.

On the other hand, I'm starting to feel more comfortable based on the fact that my college debt could be paid at any time. I know it doesn't make sense since I haven't cashed out and I still have that debt, but somehow it puts me at ease.

I'm about to be unemployed since my contract is up, and I have some free time starting on Wednesday. I'm thinking I should start doing stuff for the bitcoin community, make myself an employee of the marketing department. Video tutorials, blogs, and infographics to spread the word and ease of use of this awesome technology.

My only fear with this is that it would be a wasted effort. If I became big in the community, would I be targeted for a robbery? Is Bitcoin going to the moon either way? Could my time be more productively spent generating another source of income?

No one knows whats going to happen in the coming months, but I just wanted to write this down so one day I can look back and understand what I was thinking of at this moment in time.
