When we were in school, a few of my classmates pooled money to buy Bitcoin

Back then, it was a few dozen yuan per coin

I used my living expenses to buy 8

My friend directly bought 100 coins

In less than half a year, Bitcoin surged above 1,000

I immediately became very happy

Thinking it was really great

Made 20 times profit, as a finance major

I felt secure with my gains

This Ponzi scheme was bound to blow up sooner or later

And my classmate, who went all-in on buying Bitcoin

Even borrowed campus loans to buy Bitcoin

He was determined to hold, at most times

Owning over 1,000 Bitcoin

Most of which he bought for less than a few hundred yuan

Worked a few part-time jobs each month

Ate instant noodles every day

All his money and interest were used to support these Bitcoins

Later, he started a company and bought a villa in Shenzhen, selling for several million

Now, this guy still has over 200 coins

During the New Year, he told us

When it hits 100k USD, he’ll sell 100 coins

The rest he plans to leave for his descendants

Back then, I sold 8 Bitcoin to trade my N97 for a 4S

Now, 8 Bitcoin can buy the top-tier Mercedes G-Class

And my 4S has long been replaced by a basin by my mom.
