In Christmas of 2013, Javier, a 10-year-old boy, surprised his family by asking for a bitcoin as a gift instead of toys. Fascinated by the idea of that digital currency, he convinced his father to buy one, then valued at $1,000.
The bitcoin was forgotten in an old computer until years later, when Javier, now an adult, found it while cleaning the garage. Upon opening his virtual wallet, he discovered that that gift was now worth $60,000.
What started as a Christmas whim ended up being a lesson in vision and patience, and the best investment of his life.
