Mistakenly bought fake Bitcoin, missed the peak of wealth
In the turbulent year of 2013, the wave of digital currency had just set off in China. A netizen heard about the legendary increase of Bitcoin in a friend's chat, and his excitement was beyond words. He immediately shared this seemingly incredible investment opportunity with his father who had been struggling in the stock market for many years.
The father, an experienced stock market investor, was also quite moved after hearing about it. He decisively decided to buy this emerging digital currency and planned to hold it for a long time, waiting for its value to be further released.
However, the road to investment is always full of unknowns and variables. When the Bitcoin market suffered a serious decline in 2014, the netizen nervously asked his father whether he should sell to stop the loss. The father was calm and composed. He recalled that the price of Bitcoin was extremely low when he bought it that year, and it only cost a few dollars per coin, so he decided not to be shaken by the short-term fluctuations of the market and continued to hold it for a long time.
Time flies, and it is 2017 in a blink of an eye. This year, the Bitcoin market ushered in an unprecedented prosperity, and its price soared all the way, even breaking through the astonishing 120,000 per coin! The netizen was very excited and looked for his father with great expectation to ask how much the bitcoin he bought back then was worth now.
However, when his father took out the so-called "bitcoin" from the box in the balcony cabinet, the netizen's heart sank to the bottom. It turned out that what his father bought back then was not the real digital currency Bitcoin, but a copycat version that pretended to be it. This discovery instantly shattered the netizen's dream of getting rich. He missed the opportunity to become a billionaire and missed the opportunity to become a billionaire.
