In 2013, a college student named Alex decided to invest his summer job savings into Bitcoin, which was then worth around $100 per coin. His friends mocked him, calling it "nerd money," but Alex was fascinated by the technology. He bought 10 Bitcoins for $1,000 and then promptly forgot about them as life took over. Fast forward to 2021, Bitcoin's value surged to over $60,000 per coin. Alex, now working a 9-to-5 job, suddenly remembered his digital stash. After some hassles recovering old passwords, he found his digital wallet intact. Overnight, his $1,000 investment had transformed into $600,000. Alex used part of the windfall to pay off student loans and invested the rest wisely, forever grateful to his younger self for that leap of faith into the world of cryptocurrencies.
