My Bitcoin Millionaire Story

39 year old man who became a bitcoin millionaire this year.

I’m just a normal man, working in the fitness industry that discovered BTC at the right time.

I first got into Bitcoin in 2017 when I came a few various YouTube channels talking about Bitcoin. I had never heard about Bitcoin before then.

I became curious and started buying Bitcoin around 4k and built up to 3 BTC. When the 2017 bull market kicked off I felt like a genius. It was the first time my “investments” outpaced my income.

When it later crashed I felt like a fool and believed Bitcoin was dead 💀.

Watching YouTube videos reassured me that BTC was going to come back eventually.

I continued to slowly accumulate BTC over the next few years until the next bull market. At this time I had around 5 BTC but also had about 175k in stocks.

This is when I stubbled across Micheal Saylor on YouTube. I consumed countless hours of his videos feeling at awe listening to him speak about money and BTC. He was the smartest man I’ve ever heard speak on BTC.

As BTC crossed 20k in I started selling my stocks and buying more BTC aggressively eventually getting up to 11.

When BTC hit all time highs of 69k in 2021, I could feel the surge of dopamine daily. It was hard to focus on work.

As it crashed down, I kept “buying the dip”. 50k buys, 30k buys, 25k buys. But it kept crashing. By the time it reached 15k, I was mentally exhausted. It felt like I was working for nothing. Everyone was calling for 12k.

I was putting all my disposable income into BTC and it was evaporating the next week.

We all know to buy low and sell high, but it’s easy to say and hard to do.

I’ve made so many mistakes with platforms like Blockfi, Celcius, dealing with FOMO, FUD, shit coins ect. I was able to withdrawal 5 BTC off Blockfi literally 12 hours before it stopped withdrawals forever. Never again.

I now have 14.5 BTC stored in the same Trezor I’ve had since 2017.

The goal is to save up cash to hopefully buy more BTC in the next bear market.

I don’t tell anyone that I’m a bitcoin millionaire, not even my friends, family or girlfriend.

My conviction for BTC has never been greater. I don’t get too excited when it pumps or stressed when it crashes.

I don’t want to buy real estate, stocks, alt coins or anything except BTC.

It’s been a wild ride in BTC over the last 8 years.

I hope my story inspires other people to do their best to accumulate as much BTC as possible and learn from some of my mistakes.

Nobody feels like they have enough and everyone regrets not buying more.

BTC has given me a sense of financial control and excitement for the future.

Keep stacking sats and HODL on ✨
