So, imagine that in 2015 you were also living the dream in a trendy SoHo apartment, and you were finally ready to sell it. 50000 BTC offer for 2-bedroom apartment by a buyer, and it sounded strange. Some buzz was around that thing on the internet, but taking it as a risk was just too risky. So, you politely refuse and take the cash. Nine years after, it is 2024, and the news is only about bitcoins. Most of your close friends are becoming millionaires right now. Then it hits you: “Holy moly, that offer… 50,000 bitcoins!”

A few years ago, in 2015, your apartment was the epitome of cool. Exposed brick, stainless steel appliances — the whole shebang. The buyer was a tech enthusiast who saw its potential and made a mind-blowing offer: 50,000 Bitcoin. And why Bitcoin, you may ask? At that time, Bitcoin was a young, volatile digital currency. It made for an intriguing, but a widely-accepted payment method.
Now let’s assume it’s 2015 and think of Bitcoin as a digital gold rush option. That $430 deal would be worth a cool $21.5 million today. And now let’s jump back to 2021: you know Bitcoin is $69,000 now. And some market voices assume the sky is the limit for it, without a roof. If you ask “what if” on this $430 settlement – it will cost you either $4.39 billion or a striking $10 billion! Enough to fully reseat yourself on SoHo with several yachts.
So, the moral of the story: cryptocurrency is a mixed blessing. It can give you huge income, but it is extremely risky. All you have to do is keep up with cutting-edge news, and the rest is history. Bitcoin’s destiny is still uncertain. So, keep up with cutting-edge trends and invest wisely. I can hardly imagine how many cups of coffee the anonymous seller drank for rejecting the 50000 BTC offer for 2-bedroom apartment.
