MY BITCOIN CHRONICLE (1): HOW I LOST THE CHANCE AT BECOMING A MILLIONAIRE

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Bitcoin has shot out the roof (sorry this is an understatement) Bitcoin has blown off the roof and its rocketing to the stars. This is not news anymore. And while the value of cryptocurrency keeps soaring; many “yaaaying” “awwwing” “wowing” and “sorry" stories keep flying about.

Have you heard of the woman who forgot her wallet password; the account holds over $30 000 worth of bitcoin.

Here are some Stories for your reading pleasure:

Enough of these articles. My story is similar and tragic and worst of all the only mistake I’ve regretted making.

I had the chance of buying bitcoin when it was just $2; a friend even gave me for free (the friend has over 20BTC now) but I passed up the opportunity.

A few years later (early 2016); I think bitcoin was playing between $500 to $700 I was willing to invest; a friend gave what he called “a well-informed advice” he said bitcoin is a child’s play and I took his words. Now I wish I can turn back the hands of time.

You too may have a story to tell; why not drop a comment below and let’s console us.

FYI; I’m investing aggressively in bitcoin now but at a greater cost.

Sort:  

I have a feeling you will end up becoming a Bitcoin (or otherwise) millionaire anyway. I believe that someday even a portion of a Bitcoin will be worth enough to buy a house. Best wishes to you and your family! :)
