"The Lost Bitcoin"
In 2011, a young programmer from Kharkiv named Artem got fascinated by a new technology — Bitcoin. He was intrigued by the idea of "digital money" that existed without a bank. He downloaded one of the first wallets, mined for a few weeks, and collected 500 bitcoins. At the time, it was worth less than $50.
A year later, he lost interest, deleted the wallet, and sold the computer.
Ten years passed. In 2021, while reading the news, Artem saw a headline:
"Bitcoin Hits $60,000".
His heart skipped a beat. He did the math — those 500 bitcoins were now worth $30 million.
He rushed to find the old laptop, contacted the buyer — an elderly IT guy who calmly said he had wiped the drive years ago.
Artem laughed and cried at the same time. That evening, he started a crypto blog and named it:
"Lost Millions — Gained Lessons".
