The story of a man, Muhamad Usep, who initially purchased Bitcoin around 2010 with a very small investment but eventually parted ways with his 3,019 Bitcoins for an online game voucher from Gemscool, has gone viral due to the recent surge in Bitcoin prices.
Usep, an Android developer, bought Bitcoin in 2010 at a price of around USD 0.003 or approximately Rp 84,230.1 at that time. Despite his modest investment, when the Bitcoin price surged, he felt it was sufficient to exchange it for a game voucher.
Over time, the value of Bitcoin drastically increased, yet Usep considers it a right decision made back then. He emphasizes that crypto investments like Bitcoin offer significant profit potential but also carry substantial risks. He hopes his story serves as an educational lesson for others about the increasingly popular yet highly risky world of cryptocurrencies.
