14. Anonymous Made $2.3 million After Investing in Bitcoin
An anonymous software engineer, Mr. Smith (not his real name), also has a Bitcoin success story after investing in Bitcoin a year after the coin went live.
He had invested into the cryptocurrency with about $3,000 when the price of Bitcoin was around 15 cents. His investment greatly increased in price, and he cashed his profits out and made about $2.3 million.
Today, the anonymous investor says the investments he made when no one believed in Bitcoin helped him to travel around the world. His girlfriend says he is always talking about Bitcoin and how the innovation helped to change his life.
