Can cryptocurrencies make you rich?
#USGDPDataOnChain In 2009, Norwegian student Christopher Koch was working on a master's thesis on cryptography and read Satoshi Nakamoto's founding paper for Bitcoin. This made him see the promising potential of this new technology, prompting him to invest $26.60 to purchase 5,000 bitcoins. In 2013, Koch cashed in 1,000 bitcoins and bought a house. The other 4,000 bitcoins he had, whether he's holding them now or not, are now worth tens of millions of dollars.
This is one of the stories that has inspired many to invest in cryptocurrencies, hoping to get rich quick by being early to the market, especially when it comes to new digital currencies that they believe will explode in value similar to Bitcoin. But can cryptocurrencies really make you rich?
The answer to this question is a bit complicated, but if we rephrase it as "Can cryptocurrencies make you as rich as they made early investors very rich?", the answer is "probably not." For those early investors, the amounts they invested multiplied 20, 30, or 100 times. For some very early investors, the value of their investments multiplied even 1,000 and 10,000 times when they sold their assets
