Mga SUCCESS STORY tungkol sa BITCOIN

[fighter2627]

1. Javed Khan

Javed Khan’s investment success began by accident. In 2018, when bitcoin’s price was around $3,000, he was using bitcoin as a method to transfer money because it was easier than using a bank. But whenever he left the bitcoin sitting in his wallet, the price would go up. He saw an opportunity. Whenever the bitcoin price fell and it was quiet, we would buy more bitcoin. “When nobody’s talking about bitcoin, there’s no headlines, that’s a good time to buy.” He was careful not to extend himself, only investing money he could afford to lose.

2. Mr. Smith

After finishing college in 2008, Mr. Smith (not his real name) began working at a typical large technology company in Silicon Valley. He got on well with his “equally geeky” colleagues.
In 2010, he invested $3,000. With the price of bitcoin only US 15 cents at the time, that means he had almost 20,000 bitcoin. “I knew from the very start that I was playing the long game. I wanted to see how high it could go,” he said. Mr. Smith had almost forgotten about his investment 3 years later, when it popped up in the news. With the price rising by 10% or more every single day, he sold 2,000 coins when the price hit $350. When the price hit $800 a few days later, he sold another 2,000 coins. He’d already netted $2.3 million. “I quit my job and left on a round-the-world trip.” Today, he spends his time travelling the world in luxury. He flies first class to 5-star restaurants where he enjoys elite chef-prepared meals for every meal. In the 30 days before he was interviewed by Forbes, he’d visited Singapore, New York City, Las Vegas, Monaco, Moscow, back to New York City, Zurich and Hong Kong. His net worth is likely somewhere between a hundred million dollars and a billion dollars. “He’s constantly talking about Bitcoin,” his girlfriend said, “If he starts talking about it, he’ll never stop. Ever.”

3. Daniel Crocker

In 2012, Daniel Crocker was completing an apprenticeship at an IT company. Every lunchtime, he would chat with his colleagues about side hustles to make some extra money. When the topic of bitcoin came up, he decided to give it a go and make a small investment. He then held those coins for 8 years as their value grew and grew. Last year, he sold some enough for half the deposit on his house. “I do know people who have gone in deep but I think I've been lucky enough already.”

4. Jeremy Gardner

Jeremey Gardner fell in love with bitcoin when he realized that anyone in the world with an internet connection could send money to anyone else. Buying bitcoin in 2013, he dove deeper into the technology and began giving more and more to the cryptocurrency industry. He founded The Blockchain Education network which is a nonprofit educating people about blockchain technology, he launched Augur which is a decentralized prediction market, and he shared a three-story house in San Francisco known as the 'Crypto-Castle' that was home to over 6 multi-millionaires. “We’ve been told that it’s going to die so many times. And yet here it is, stronger than ever. I think there’s a certain sense of vindication if you were investing in this technology and people were calling you stupid for a long time,” Gardner said.

5. Heather Delaney

“I put in £5 at the very beginning and I've built it slowly and steadily over time.” She’s planning to continue adding to her investment, as Heather is part of a growing cohort who are purchasing bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as part of their retirement plan. While the ultimate success of her investment will be judged at the time she retires, she’s already up over 500%. And as bitcoin is a long-term investment, the rapid price changes don’t phase her. “I know loads of people who have done exciting things with their investments, but for me, it's part of my pension plan.”

6. Kane Ellis

Born in South Australia, Kane Ellis has always been interested in technology. At 18 he launched a technology consulting company Nerd Herd. Then he went on to launch the CarSwap app. Still, his best investment was to begin mining bitcoin back in 2010 when a single coin cost only $1.60. He only made one mistake. He sold 2-4 Bitcoins to buy a McDonald’s meal. In today’s terms, that burger, fries and coke could be worth 6-figures. Luckily, that was only a small portion of his holdings. A few years later, he again sold a small portion of his holdings to indulge himself. But this time that small portion afforded a bright yellow $200,000 Maserati.

7. Terry Proud

In mid-2017 when bitcoin’s price was around only $3,000, retiree Terry Proud sold a portion of his superannuation investments to buy cryptocurrencies. Terry is part of a growing number of Australians who are investing in cryptocurrencies through Self managed Super Funds (SMSFs).  When he was interviewed by Nine news, he said he “can’t wipe the smile off his face.”

8. Su Zhu

In 2012, Su Zhu and his friend from high school, Kyle Davies, launched Three Arrows Capital from the kitchen table in their apartment. Taking experience from their previous roles as traders for Credit Suisse, they quickly began making a profit.  While at one point they had contacted everyone they knew for an emergency loan, they quickly paid back the money and have now grown into one of the largest cryptocurrency trading funds in the world. They now also run DeFiance Capital, which invests in decentralized finance businesses that they expect to “eat traditional finance over the next decade.” Their firm's logo was even featured in an illustration on the front cover of Fortune magazine.  Today, they’re best friends with young kids and a cryptocurrency portfolio worth billions of dollars. There are multiple Lambos sitting out the front of their trading office.

9. James Saye

In 2017, James was nervous about putting his money into bitcoin. Luckily, he bit the bullet and purchased around £500. As the value quickly increased by 500%, he cashed in his gains for £2,500.  James took his profits to Iceland, where he had a great holiday. He noted that while Iceland is lovely, it’s expensive. So he was glad to have the extra cash.  Thankfully, he bought back in again after the price dropped in 2018.

10. Kristoffer Koch

In 2009, the Norwegian student Kristoffer was writing his master thesis on encryption technology. When he read Satoshi Nakamoto's whitepaper on Bitcoin, the insights from his study helped him see the impact this new cryptographic technology could have.  He spent $26.60 to buy bitcoins. That doesn't sound like much, but given bitcoin was so new at the time, it gave him an incredible 5,000 bitcoins. And although it was only $26.60, his partner was skeptical about spending “real money” on “fake money.”  Fast-forward to 2013 and Kristoffer saw bitcoin in the news. He did a quick calculation and realized he was close to being a millionaire. He sold 1,000 of his bitcoins and bought an apartment. If he still holds the other 4,000, he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.  Regardless, his girlfriend now “Says that I should be allowed to buy the things I want.”

11. Kingsley Advani

Some people speculate, others invest, but Kingsley Advani went all in. He emptied his bank account and sold everything he owned so he could buy as much bitcoin as possible. And it paid off big time.  It was mid-2017, right at the beginning of the massive bull run, that Kingsley saw the incredible potential of bitcoin. He took all his money, sold everything he owned, including his laptop, and purchased $34,000 worth of bitcoin. Months later he was a millionaire.  He now travels between San Francisco, New York and London, working as an advisor to startups in the cryptocurrency industry. “It's like a rebellion to traditional finance,” Advani said.

12. Erik Finman

“If I make a million dollars by the time I’m 18, I don’t have to go back to school or go to college.”

Ilan lamang ito sa mga matagumpay na kwento ng mga taong naniwala at nagtiwala sa bitcoin, basta kung LONG-TERM na usaping investment ay number one talaga ang Bitcoin dito, mas lalo tuloy akong ginanahan na alamin ang lahat ng dapat kung malaman dito sa bitcoin para sa hinaharap.

Kung itong mga tao na yan ay masasabi nating mga nasa middle class o mayaman narin sa kanilang estado nung nakita nila ang bitcoin at meron din naman mula sa ordinaryong indibidual katulad ni Kristoffer Koch na isang student at Kane Ellis na dropp out college naman ay nagawa nilang magtagumpay gaano pa kaya tayong mga ordinaryong pilipino diba?

[Selaphiel]

Marahil hindi na talaga mabilang ang mga taong sinuwerteng kumita ng malaki sa bitcoin dahil sa paniniwala nilang malaki ang maibalik nito pagdating ng panahon, ang tanging kalaban lang talaga sa ganitong paghold ng matagal sa bitcoin ay yung pagiging matatag natin kung kaya bang makapaghintay ng 4 to 10 years na paghold ng btc. O baka sadyang nakatadhana lang talaga silang makaranas ng malaking kita dito kay bitcoin, dahil yung iba sa mga yan ay masasabi ko na sinuwerte lang, at may iba pa na parang sumugal lang at may iba naman na nakucurious lang tapos hindi naman ganun sineryoso talaga pero naalala nya lang at natandaan asan yung private key o seed phrase, kaya siguro nga talaga nasa palad nilang suwertihin sila kay bitcoin.

Actually, marami pang success story na hindi recorded, meron mga investors na mas prefer na manahimik kaysa mag divulge sila ng kwento nila ang ilan sa mga dahilan ay taxation, family concern at safety concern.
Ako mismo ay maraming kakilala na kumita ng malaki sa Bitcoin pero hindi nila ito sineshare kundi a mga katulad din nila na investor at kayang magtago ng kitaan dito.

Lalo pa sa panahon ngayon na nakakatakot na mag post ng kita sa cryptocurrency dahil sa tinatawag na wrench attack, ang mga tao ang nakikita nila ang profit, pero hindi nila alam na may panahon na lugi tayo, hindi sa lahat ng panahon ay paldo tayo.

[BALIK]

Ang pinakamahalagang bagay ay wala sa kanila ang genius o nakakahula kung kailan tataas o bababa ang market. Naunawaan lang nila ang magiging bisyon ng Bitcoin sa hinaharap, at tuwing may malaking pagbagsak, hindi sila natakot at nanganit silang mabuti rito

Ang aral para sa ating mga karaniwang tao sa Pilipinas ay ganoon pa rin, mas mahalaga ang pasensya kaysa sa timing. Wala na tayong pagkakataon na makabili ng Bitcoin sa halagang 10 cent. Ang kailangan ngayon ay magsimula nang small, panindigan ito at huwag lang itong ituring na paraan para maging biglang yaman kundi bilang isang seryosong asset para sa pangmatagalan
