We are continuously hearing all sorts of unbelievable stuff related to Bitcoin industry for the last few months. The huge, unpredictable and rapid fluctuations in the value of this virtual-currency resulted in making many traders millionaire “overnight”.
we will discuss 5 lucky Bitcoin Traders who turned millionaires without having to rely on executing trades, means they were not active traders.

Erik Fineman
Erik Fineman’s story is quite interesting, he received a gift of $1000 from his grandmother in 2011, he was only 11 at that time. His brother suggested him to invest in Bitcoins (which were not well-known at that time). So he bought Bitcoins which were only worth $12 per-coin at that time.
By selling them in 2013, when per-coin value was $132, he managed to turn his $1000 into $100,000 and he became a millionaire at the age of 13.
He was not good at studies so he started an online educational academy for likeminded students in 2014. He made a deal with his parents that he will not go to college if he became millionaire by the age of 18. He won the bet and he never attended the college. He is living a prosperous life now.

Anonymous person
In 2010, an anonymous person bought 12,000 Bitcoins when the value of one Bitcoin was hardly enough to buy a small pizza. After 3 years he sold them when its value reached $100. He had more than $10 Million worth of Bitcoins by then.
However, he was careful about not getting the attraction and therefore he sold them in small quantities.

Mr. Smith
Mr. smith had a great aspiration for travelling the world and because of Bitcoin, he turned it into reality. In 2010, he started buying Bitcoin after hearing about this currency. He kept trading on and off between long intervals until 2013 when he came to know that the value of Bitcoin has raised to 2000 times.
He earned $25 million from Bitcoin, and now he is living a lavish life. He still has 1000 Bitcoins which he aims to sell once per-coin value reaches $150,000.

Olaf-Carlson Wee
He is another fortunate Bitcoin Trader who was rewarded generously for investing in this currency when it was less known. He started working for Coinbase, when it’s per coin value was approximately $20 in 2013. He was a visionary man and he saw the potential that it has to offer. He made an agreement with the Employer that he will receive his salary in Bitcoins instead of physical money. He would execute trades occasionally and happened to earn huge profits. Carlson Wee is our next fortunate millionaire who is living a satisfied life.

Tim Enneking
Tim Enneking was the founder of the first digital currency but irony of the fact is that he was skeptical about them. He was a hedge Fund Manager who received several awards against his performances.
This man won’t like to give credit to luck for being a millionaire because he did an extensive research in this virtual currency and found it out to be reliable. He saw the potential of this coin and started trading them.
