Here are some early examples of people who got rich through Bitcoin:
1. Li Xiaolai
The biggest winner of Bitcoin, he exchanged 100,000 Bitcoins for 13.5 billion in cash, realizing his dream of getting rich overnight. Li Xiaolai was originally just an English teacher at New Oriental who lived on his salary every day, but by chance, he learned about Bitcoin and felt that this virtual currency had a very bright future, so he bought Bitcoin crazily when the price was low, then hoarded them and sold them when the price was high. Maybe some people think that the profit from making this price difference is not actually big, but flies are meat no matter how small they are. After Li Xiaolai's continuous efforts, the number of Bitcoins in his hands has been growing steadily and has reached a huge number of 100,000.
2. Guo Hongcai

3. Daniel Crocker
Business owner In 2012, Daniel Crocker was completing his apprenticeship at an IT company. Every day at lunch time, he would chat with his colleagues and make some extra money. When the topic of Bitcoin came up, he decided to give it a try and make a small investment. Then, as their value continued to grow, he held the coins for 8 years. Last year, he sold some for enough money for half the deposit on his house. "I do know some people who have studied it in depth, but I think I've been lucky enough.
4. Kingsley Advani
Software engineer Some people speculate, some invest, but Kingsley Advani went all out. He emptied his bank account and sold everything he owned in order to buy as much Bitcoin as possible. It paid off big time. In mid-2017, just as the massive bull market began, Kingsley saw the incredible potential of Bitcoin.He took all the money, sold everything he owned, including his laptop, and bought $34,000 worth of Bitcoin. A few months later, he became a millionaire. He now travels between San Francisco, New York, and London, serving as an advisor to startups in the cryptocurrency industry. "It's like a rebellion against traditional finance," Advani said.
5. Erik
Finman, high school dropout and entrepreneur. In 2011, when Erik Finman was just 12 years old, he took the $1,000 his grandmother gave him and invested in Bitcoin. At the time, one Bitcoin was worth about $10. He dropped out of high school at the age of 15 and made a bet with his parents that if he made $1 million by the time he was 18, he wouldn't have to go to school or college anymore. He then sold $100,000 in Bitcoin and started a business from his bedroom. He built an educational company, Botangle. Two years later, he sold his company for 300 Bitcoins. When Bitcoin broke through $2,700, he officially became a millionaire. The key thing is that he was only 17 years old, so he won the bet with his parents. Instead of going to college, he traveled around the world, visiting Dubai, Hong Kong, Beijing, London, Prague, Sydney, Melbourne, Vienna and Stockholm. Today, he has an 8-figure net worth. He is a key investor in a cryptocurrency startup in Silicon Valley and helped introduce the 2020 Cryptocurrency Act as a citizen advocate.
6. Kristoffer Koch
In 2009, Norwegian student Kristoffer was writing his master's thesis on cryptography. When he read Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper on Bitcoin, the insights he gained from his research helped him see the impact this new crypto technology could have. He bought Bitcoin for $26.60. Although it was only $26.60, his partner was skeptical about spending "real money" on "fake money." Fast forward to 2013, Kristoffer saw Bitcoin on the news. He did a quick calculation and realized that he was close to becoming a millionaire. He sold 1,000 Bitcoins and bought an apartment. If he still holds another 4,000, his net worth is hundreds of millions of dollars
