Before the college entrance examination in 2017, one of my elementary school classmates suddenly bought a Land Rover and showcased it on social media. I was quite surprised, as we were all still students; where did he get so much money?
He smiled and mentioned a forgotten past: Back in 2010, when we were still elementary school students, it was just after the New Year, and he had saved up a bit of lucky money. He believed a lecture where the speaker claimed that a digital currency called 'Bitcoin' had limitless future prospects (yes, you guessed it right, it's Bitcoin). This classmate spent all his 500 RMB of lucky money to buy exactly 100 'cakes' at the price of 5 RMB each. After the transaction, the other party gave him something like a 'password book' that contained his wallet key. When he told his parents about this, instead of praise, he received a beating—they all thought he had been scammed. My dad works in finance, and at that time, I asked him about it, and he also said this thing was 'most likely a scam'. So I comforted my classmate and casually used a 30 QB point card given out at the lecture to help him get a diamond membership. This matter was quickly forgotten until six years later.
The magical reversal came.
In 2017, when his family moved, he accidentally stumbled upon that 'password book'. Even more absurd was that it contained the contact information of a 'merchant for recycling Bitcoin'. (Of course, the authenticity of this is unknown; it's what he said.)
He suddenly remembered this matter, so he found some channels to recover the wallet. Then, he discovered that there were indeed a full 100 Bitcoins inside. That night, he couldn't sleep at all. He called me. As the only law student in the class, he regarded me as his 'consulting lawyer' and asked whether he should tell his parents about this and if it involved any legal issues. At that time, the price of Bitcoin was about $17,689, so his 100 Bitcoins were worth approximately $1.78 million, over 10 million RMB. In the end, he still told his parents about it.
He said that at that moment, his parents almost tore up that notebook (they thought it was a scam since 2010), but he protected it fiercely. It was also at that moment that he heard his parents say to him for the first time: 'I'm sorry.' From being scammed to receiving an apology, it took only six years to go from 500 RMB of lucky money to assets worth millions. And now, he has far more than 100 Bitcoins in his hands...
Some people change their fate through knowledge, while others achieve financial freedom early through luck.
And this story is the most absurd and real myth of becoming rich through lucky money I have ever seen.
