Sam Boyall has today conceded that he is almost ready to have a laugh about his last twelve months.

Still in a fairly sizeable the hole, the 26 year-old-man from Betoota’s Roma Hills opened up to The Advocate about his unfortunate and rapid descent into the world of cryptocurrency.

While the last few months have been tough, Boyall says he can sort of see the funny side of the whole thing now.

The civil engineer at a local construction company in town refused to confirm or deny how much he funnelled into the fad of 2017 but told us that he would have had the deposit for the first home in French Quarter if all had worked out well.

“Yeah, I guess the whole thing was a bit manic,” he said.

“A bit like a dazed gambling spree in reality. I mean I did really like the tech in some of the projects though, and I haven’t given up hope that some of them can moon,” explained the young man who still isn’t really sure what blockchain is.

When we asked young Boyall how much his current portfolio was worth he told us he was ‘hodling’ the popular, deliberate misspelling of ‘holding,’  and a term made popular by crypto enthusiasts and investors.

“You never know, and if I sell it all off now at its current price it’s barely going to make a dent in the personal loan anyway. So I’m hanging on for now and hoping that I’ll get that Lambo one day,” he said.

Boyall’s boomer mother told The Advocate that she just hopes he has learnt his lesson.

“I’ve stopped asking him how crypto’s going and he has stopped talking about it. I hope he has learnt from the whole episode,” she said.

Boyall told us that he is hoping to be able to laugh about it all in the next couple of months.

“It’s just a little bit to raw at the moment, by maybe after Christmas.”
