«Coin in the Wind»
Once a simple guy named Artem worked as a barista in a small café in Lviv. In 2021, he heard from a friend about Bitcoin — "Buy now, because tomorrow it will be too late!" — his friend convinced him.
Artem spent all his savings — 2000 dollars — and bought Bitcoin. Half a year later, the price skyrocketed. His investment turned into 6000 dollars. Then he opened a few more positions, bought some Ethereum, got acquainted with "altcoins," and started trading day and night.
In 2022, Artem sold his car, took a loan from the bank, and invested in a new coin — which, according to a blogger, "could skyrocket 100 times." And indeed, at first, the coin grew 4 times. He dreamed of buying an apartment, and his mom was already bragging to relatives.
But then the market crashed. Bitcoin plummeted, the altcoin disappeared from the exchange, and the developers vanished into thin air. All that remained were debts and disappointment.
Artem had to return to coffee. But one thing — he no longer dreamed of "quick millions." He understood the main rule of crypto:
"Where there is a lot of money — there is always a lot of risk."
