In 2014, a legendary figure appeared in the Bitcoin forum. He was called "Brother 480,000". The name came from the fact that he used 480,000 yuan to buy 100 bitcoins. However, this was only the beginning of the story.
After buying Bitcoin, Brother 480,000 did not sit idle. He started to post live broadcasts of his experience in Bitcoin trading, becoming the focus of the forum. However, the good times did not last long. The market value of Bitcoin dropped sharply, and his 100 Bitcoins shrank to only 90,000 yuan. Many people began to mock him, laughing at him for going from "Brother 480,000" to "Brother 60,000".
Logically speaking, the loss has exceeded 80%, and the remaining tens of thousands of yuan should be taken lightly, and there may be a chance of counterattack if it is kept there. However, although the 480,000 brother overcame his inner fear, he lost to the pressure of real life. His mother-in-law kept arguing with him because of this matter, and his wife even threatened to divorce him.
Finally, 480,000 could not stand the pressure and chose to sell all his bitcoins in early 2016, recovering 300,000 yuan and a net loss of 180,000 yuan. He died before dawn and left the cryptocurrency circle with regret.
By the end of 2017, the price of Bitcoin began to soar, reaching a high of 140,000 yuan. If Brother 480,000 had held on, his 100 Bitcoins would have been worth nearly 14 million yuan. Many people remembered Brother 480,000, but he never showed up again. He deleted all his posts, cancelled his ID, and disappeared from the crowd.
