NBA star Durant recovers a lost Bitcoin account from nearly ten years ago, selling 3000 BTC sparks heated discussions

According to Durant's recollection, he first encountered Bitcoin around 2014 or 2015 by watching YouTube videos and purchased over 3000 Bitcoins through Coinbase, with prices fluctuating between 400 to 1000 dollars at the time. However, as time passed, he gradually forgot about this investment until recently when he re-established contact with Coinbase's official support. After a series of verifications, he successfully restored his account. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced this news last Thursday through the X platform: "We solved the problem. Account recovery is complete!" Subsequently, Durant quickly sold 3000 Bitcoins, keeping less than 100 as a souvenir. It is estimated that his average purchase price was about 650 dollars per coin, meaning his return on investment was as high as 180 times.

This incident quickly surged to the top of the trending list across the United States, sparking widespread discussion. Although some speculate that the recent market correction may be related to this, industry insiders believe that the previous large transaction of 80,000 Bitcoins did not significantly impact the market, making the effect of these 3000 Bitcoins relatively limited.

Meanwhile, this news also caused a stir within and outside the NBA. Many players expressed envy and even jealousy towards Durant's investment insight, especially those who have faced financial difficulties in recent years. For example, Dwight Howard lamented on social media about his "extravagance" and admitted that if he had Durant's investment foresight back then, he might not be in his current predicament.

Another player, Ben Simmons, directly called out to Durant: "Send me a Bitcoin, buddy!" Lakers rookie Bronny James also joked, "I don't ask for a Bitcoin, but at least teach me how to make money!"

It can be said that Durant's "legendary investment" not only brought him immense wealth but also ignited anxiety and envy among players throughout the league. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of investment insight and a long-term holding strategy.

For ordinary investors, Durant's story is undoubtedly an enviable "miracle." But some lament: "Such opportunities are probably hard to replicate."#美SEC和CFTC加密监管合作
