It's still hard to believe this actually happened.Way back in 2009, some guy in Norway picked up 5,000 Bitcoins for about $22. 😱 He wasn't trying to get rich. He wasn't betting on the future. He was just messing around with cryptography, found it cool, bought a bunch to experiment, and then completely forgot about it.For four whole years.Life got in the way—university, jobs, all the usual stuff.Then in 2013 he suddenly remembered, dug up his old wallet, and checked the balance. That tiny $22 experiment? Worth around $850,000 at the time.Crazy, right?He did something super smart that barely gets mentioned: he sold just enough to pay taxes and bought himself an apartment in Oslo—one of the priciest cities around. Reports say it was roughly 20% of his stash.And then... he left the rest untouched.That decision is everything.Fast forward to now, with Bitcoin trading in the high $80k zone. If he still holds most of those original coins—say around 4,000—that's easily $350 million today. Even if he cashed out more along the way and only kept 2,500, we're still looking at over $200 million.All from $22.The wild part isn't even the money anymore. It's how most of us would've blown it long before reaching this point.Everyone claims they'd HODL through everything. But let's be real—they wouldn't.Hardly anyone actually forgets about an investment once it starts mooning. Hardly anyone stays hands-off when it feels life-changing. Hardly anyone lets compound growth and time do all the work without meddling.His edge wasn't genius timing or unbreakable belief. It was accidentally mastering the single toughest part of investing: Doing absolutely nothing.And that's the quiet truth almost nobody wants to admit is incredibly rare.$BTC #BitcoinStory #LongTermInvesting #HoldOnForDearLife #CryptoMillionaireb #TimeInTheMarket

Back in 2011, a British man named Lee Beaumont from Leeds got so fed up with endless telemarketing calls especially about PPI claims and solar panel installations, sometimes 20–30 a day that he decided to turn the tables in a clever way. Instead of just blocking them, he spent about £10 (roughly $15) to set up a premium-rate 0871 phone number (similar to a U.S. 900 number). Callers were charged 10 pence per minute, and he earned 7 pence of that through revenue sharing. He started giving this number out as his contact whenever he dealt with banks, gas/electricity providers, or any online forms that might lead to sales calls while keeping his regular number just for friends and family. Whenever a telemarketer rang, he’d happily stay on the line, asking endless questions and pretending to be interested, all to rack up their bill. Over about two years, he pocketed around £300 (about $465 at the time) in profit. The calls eventually dropped off sharply (from 20–30 per month down to just 13 in one reported month) because he had literally become unprofitable for the telemarketers. The premium-rate regulator warned against copying the idea, saying numbers weren’t meant for this purpose and could lead to fines, but Beaumont was upfront with callers about the charges when asked. (And yes, the original story mentions he later used some of that cash to buy Bitcoin in 2012 talk about turning annoyance into long-term gains!) #bitcoin $BTC $XMR
HUGE DUMP $XMR BE CAREFUL Attention everyone! We just saw Monero ($XMR) hit an All-Time High (ATH) of $688 today, and it has immediately started a Huge Dump. The price has already crashed to $652 in a very short time. This is a classic "Bull Trap" where late buyers get trapped at the top. ⚠️ Why is this happening? ATH Rejection: After hitting $688, big players (whales) started taking massive profits. Regulatory FUD: News of the Dubai (DFSA) ban on privacy coins is putting heavy selling pressure on XMR right now. Overheated Market: The RSI was extremely overbought, and a correction was overdue. 💬 My Opinion on LONGING: If you are thinking about opening a LONG position right now: STAY AWAY! ❌ Risk: Longing a "falling knife" after an ATH rejection is extremely dangerous. Support: I expect the price to test the $635 - $638 support zone next. Verdict: Do not FOMO. Wait for the market to stabilize. Opening a long here could lead to quick liquidation if the dump continues. Be careful, guys! Don't let the market hunt your liquidity. 💸 $XMR
Update current heat map We see 2 liquidity pool 88-89k and 94-95k level On coin base I open long take profit at 94.5k On binance I open short at take profit at 90k I know both of those level have to be hit, and with low leverage x4 I am not going to be liquidated with either level hit first. I know both of those level will be hit, I don’t care which level hit first. I will take profit at both level. Just a matter of time Dont underestimate small gains from small wave, a few hundreds here and there add up over time, safe but for sure, money is money Do your own research Agree or disagree No blame game #bitcoin $BTC
COINBASE MAY PULL SUPPORT FROM CLARITY ACT OVER #stablecoin REWARDS
According to Bloomberg, Coinbase could withdraw its support if the bill restricts stablecoin rewards beyond basic disclosure requirements.
Stablecoin rewards are a major revenue driver for Coinbase, which also holds a stake in Circle, the issuer of $USDC .
The bill is scheduled for Senate markup this week. The Senate Banking Committee has targeted January 15, 2026, for a committee vote on the landmark crypto market structure bill (H.R. 3633), which aims to:
- Clarify SEC vs. CFTC oversight - Establish clear rules for crypto firms - Set standards for DeFi and stablecoins
