Back in 2010, a Chinese teenager named Wei Zhang invested 10 $ in Bitcoin when it was worth less than a cent. This 10 $ allowed him to acquire 99,000 BTC.
At 19, he had created CryptoLeap, the first margin trading exchange platform in crypto. It took off quickly, and he became extremely wealthy — those coins alone would be worth over 11 billion dollars today.
Then, in 2018, he received an email from an investment company that seemed significant. It contained a link to a "proposal". He clicked, logged in… and that was it. Hackers drained the 99,000 BTC in a matter of minutes.
Everything was gone. The platform collapsed. His fortune evaporated.
Today, Wei works in cybersecurity, warning people that in crypto, one wrong click can cost you everything. About that.
