How I Became a Cryptocurrency Millionaire Overnight — The Unbelievable Story
This is a tale of excitement, immense wealth, and the happiness that befell me, followed by doubt and disbelief
Part One
The Dream of Crypto Wealth
The story I’m about to share today isn’t about loss or failed investments. It’s about immeasurable happiness and joy that came our way not too long ago. While the story has a very happy beginning and is quite good in the middle, the end isn’t exactly what we all hoped for. But it wasn’t as sad or disappointing either. So, if I’ve piqued your interest with these words, delve into this read, as it’s an interesting narrative of the adventures that came our way.
The dream of becoming wealthy and financially independent keeps many of us engaged in the crypto world! Some enter the crypto space out of curiosity, some due to the Bitcoin revolution, but most people hope to amass substantial wealth and thereby solve not only their finances but also all other problems and worries.
How many times have you read an article or watched a video about someone becoming immensely rich overnight by investing in this or that cryptocurrency? How often have you thought, “If only this happened to me if only I could invest in a coin that would increase by X100 or X1000”? If only I could hit the crypto jackpot and become a billionaire or at least a millionaire!
Surely, countless times you’ve fantasized about your digital wallets brimming with profitable cryptocurrencies and your bank accounts overflowing with dollars. You’ve pondered over the sweet dilemma of how to spend all that money.
“Oh, what I would do with so much money,” you’ve said to yourself a thousand times. “I’d buy 20 of the most expensive Armani suits, a 200-meter yacht, a private jet, a villa in Monaco or Beverly Hills. My garage would be filled with Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and my circle would comprise the rich and famous. Oh, if only I could hit the jackpot once!”
Fantasy vs. Reality
Unfortunately, such jackpots in the crypto world are as rare as lottery wins or rare gemstones. Most often, instead of hitting the jackpot, those who take big risks end up with empty bank accounts, empty pockets, debts to settle, and piles of bills to pay. Sadly, dreams usually remain just dreams, and stories of wealth and fame mostly happen to someone else.
The Fundamental Rule
Therefore, let me emphasize the first and fundamental rule you must follow when entering the crypto world: never invest more than you’re willing to lose!
So, let’s begin the story!
About 11 months ago, I sat in my office in my home in Bjelovar, Croatia — Europe, working on my trusty laptop. If I recall correctly, it was late at night, and I was writing an article, getting it ready for publication, gathering data, and browsing the internet. As I browsed bit by bit, I stumbled upon an intriguing article with an enticing title that mentioned Pi Network!
Let me make a quick digression here and explain to you what Pi Network is. It’s a digital currency project aimed at making mining accessible to everyone. The Pi Network allows users to mine this cryptocurrency via mobile phones while simultaneously confirming transactions on the main ledger. Vince McPhilip, Chengdiao Fan, and Nicolas Kokkalis created the Pi Network on March 14, 2019, and on that day, the mobile application was launched.
In this article, we won’t describe Pi Network, defend, or criticize it because the aim of this article isn’t an analysis of Pi Network. It’s something entirely different, namely, the story of overnight wealth acquisition.
The Shocking Discovery
As I mentioned, I stumbled upon an article discussing Pi Network, and it caught my attention because someone wrote that Pi coin had been listed on exchanges and trading had commenced. This news would undoubtedly be a bombshell for all those who owned Pi coin, eagerly awaiting the launch of the Open Mainet and its subsequent listing on crypto exchanges. As I was one of them, this news surprised and delighted me. In shock and disbelief, I continued devouring the words in the article. To my even greater surprise, I read the news that left me so shocked that I was completely speechless, staring at the article while numbers swirled in my head.
The Unbelievable Math
The text mentioned that besides the Pi coin being listed on Huobi and OKX exchanges, it had reached a price of about $250 per coin on the first day, which was a huge leap for any coin, let alone Pi. As my excitement had my thoughts jumbled up, I couldn’t think straight. I opened the calculator on my laptop and did the math.
At a price of $250 multiplied by the number of coins my wife and I owned, the resulting figure was unbelievable. Here’s what my calculator displayed:
$250 X 6000 = $1,500,000
I stared at the screen for a few seconds, then triple-checked the multiplication, and each time, the calculator showed the same figure: $1,500,000 (1.5 Million Dollars).
“Is this possible? Am I dreaming or is this happening?” I thought in that moment. I started doubting whether this was all a joke! Countless thoughts raced through my mind, and I couldn’t gather myself. But in a moment, a light bulb went off in my head, and I remembered what I needed to do. Of course, I just needed to go to Huobi or OKX, verify that this was all a joke, and return to normal life and thoughts!
With trembling hands, I managed to type ‘Huobi’ into the Google search bar and clicked on the first link that led to that crypto exchange. When I finally opened Huobi’s website, I was so excited that I could barely find the Pi coin and check its price in USDT.
Again, total shock! The price of my coin wasn’t $250; it had increased to about $350 in the meantime, which meant that the value of my coins had increased by a hundred dollars per coin!
With shaking hands, I punched in the numbers on the calculator again, and now, I got this figure:
$350 X 600 = $2,100,000
Validation and Unbridled Joy
This figure blew my mind! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing with my own eyes. Out of sheer happiness, I started jumping around the house, rejoicing! I was as happy as a child getting a pacifier! But for a moment, doubt flashed through my mind, and I remembered the other exchange, OKX. Again, I sat down at the keyboard and went through the entire process again as I did with Huobi, and the result was the same. Now, my joy knew no bounds, and I celebrated and rejoiced throughout the house while trying my best not to start shouting and celebrating loudly, as my wife was sleeping in the room, and it was late.
