@Joe S. we do something with our kids that helps them get the discipline and investing mindset.

This is why I always say arbitrage works, and like yourself, with the right research and discipline it's very very doable!

Not one dime went to overhead in our Charity each person and their discipline donated their time and money to the Mission.We then went about raising the 200k ( which was much tougher than what I thought) I spent 2.5 years on BP giving advice on PM's in exchange for donations.

I know people that are really good at their trade (plumbing, cleaning, electrician, etc) but they don't have financial discipline, they don't know how to market, they suck at customer service, they don't use tools to their advantage, etc.Cody Sanchez (lady in the video) buys different types of businesses and makes them profitable by applying basic business disciplines.

Alongside my studies, I’ve had the privilege of competing as a Division 1 hockey player, which has taught me the value of discipline and strategy—qualities I’m excited to bring into my real estate journey.I’m looking to purchase my first investment property in the U.S. with a budget of $250,000 to $350,000 in cash.

Given your background I expect you to be pretty disciplined in that task. 

That said, keep your emotions out of it and simply respond to his offer with a VERY polite "thank you so much and I'd love to sign this for you today, but there were a few terms we discussed that I think may have been overlooked....those are XXXX".

I was 37 when we got started for all of the reasons you stated and I lacked the knowledge/discipline that I would later find.

Most of the reason that crypto gains value is hype and emotion.

It's something similar kind of thing like we buy with our emotions and justify it by reason .2.
