Rich in one night - Brothers bet 8.000 and made 9 million

This is the true story of two brothers, who bet $ 8.000. Their bet took place and they did rich in one night. In more detail:

How the story begins

On the advice of a friend, Tommy and James invested eight thousand dollars in the shiba inu coin, another cryptocurrency. They did it when it was not worth a penny. Two months later, they were millionairesOn the morning of April 17, in a New York suburb, two brothers woke up to see a pleasant surprise: As they slept they had literally become millionaires overnight. Now, the proverb says they sleep and their luck works. But for 38-year-old Tommy and 42-year-old James, the job was done by a bold investment. Recently, the two men had invested a few hundred dollars in the shiba inu coin. A digital asset inspired by the famous dogecoin. That is, a cryptocurrency-anecdote inspired by a cryptocurrency-anecdote.

The continuation of the story

Certainly, investing your money in the parody of a parody seems risky. But a friend of brothers and an expert on the subject managed to convince them that the shiba inu coin, which at that time did not cost a single cent, had great prospects for development. Obviously, their friend was right. Not even two months have passed since then. But their lives have changed dramatically. Their father's birthday had arrived. However, instead of just giving him a greeting card, they decided to welcome him to the club of millionaires. Of course, it is not just the shiba inu coin that has flourished in recent months. As impressive as his rally is. After years in the background and online forums, bitcoin and other "alternative currencies" (alt-coins) have attracted the attention not only of private investors, but also of Wall Street. Interest in them is higher than ever, with the price of bitcoin showing a 70% increase since the beginning of the year, while ether has risen 500% in the same period. And of course, there is dogecoin, whose price has increased by 11,000%.

What happened next

As confessed to CNN, Tommy and brother he was thinking about the stories of people who got rich because they invested in the right cryptocurrency at the right time, before each of them bought a $ 200 shiba inu coin. Then they convinced both the mother and her sister to put in $ 100 each, despite the doubts they expressed. In total, the family invested almost eight thousand dollars.

Before the pandemic hit, their main income brothers came from wedding videotaping. But suddenly, instead of the usual 30 to 40 wedding ceremonies each year, in 2020 they covered just eight. Come on, one day in April, when they really had work to do, they could not concentrate. They looked at their cell phones every now and then, because now their shiba inu coins were worth $ 100.000 and their value kept going up.

The end of the true story

Just a few days later, the family's $ 7,900 had become nine million. The shiba inu coin, meanwhile, made headlines after ethereum blockchain co-founder Vitalik Buterin donated $ XNUMX billion worth of shiba inu coin to help India fight Covid-19. Now, there are some American celebrities, like Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys, who publicly express their belief in cryptocurrency. However, Tommy and James realize that their own case is extremely rare. The two men took care to emphasize that investments like theirs, in assets that have been created as jokes, are extremely risky.
