He slept on a bench… and now owns Bitcoin worth over $10 million.

You read that right.

In 2013, Jerome Thomas, a homeless man in San Francisco, would sit outside a tech café—not to beg, but to learn. He overheard crypto discussions, Googled every term he didn’t understand, and one day, a developer noticed his curiosity. That man gifted him 0.5 BTC—worth $60 back then.

Jerome didn’t sell.

He learned, HODLed, and kept investing small bits by doing odd jobs.

Fast forward to 2021: Jerome's holdings exploded in value. Instead of cashing out completely, he started a non-profit to educate underprivileged youth about crypto, blockchain, and financial freedom.

Today, he’s no longer homeless. He’s a speaker, educator, and advocate for decentralized finance.

From street corners to crypto conferences, Jerome proves that knowledge + consistency + opportunity = unstoppable.

The blockchain doesn’t care about your background, only your belief.

Moral?

Never underestimate small beginnings.

That one whitepaper you read today might change your life tomorrow.

Crypto isn’t just wealth. It’s freedom.
