An $8,000 bet on shiba inu coin allowed a warehouse manager to retire after the meme coin's stunning rally, report says



A 35-year-old former supermarket warehouse manager who made an $8,000 bet on shiba inu at the start of the year is now enjoying his retirement thanks to the meme coin's stunning rally.

Rob, who is from northern England, told Fortune he dabbled in cryptocurrenci es to supplement his $68,000 yearly salary so he could create a better life for his partner and their son.

Unexpectedly, he came across shiba inu, which was founded in August 2020. And upon reading the coin's 28-page white paper, he was all in.

"After reading that, I was hooked," Rob, who declined to revealed his last name, told Fortune. "I just believed the words."

He then decided to invest $8,000 in shiba inu slowly and intended for his holdings to grow to tens of thousands of dollars.

But the coin's stunning rally in May, which pushed its price 1,200 times what it was worth in February, multiplied Rob's holdings beyond his imagination.

"I come from quite a poor background. I could never have even fantasized about having this much money," Rob said, adding that he checked his account every hour for a time to make sure the gains did not vanish. "But it wasn't gone. It wasn't a dream."

He withdrew $500,000 worth of shiba inu coin from the exchange and deposited the sum into his bank account, he said. This was around the time he quit his job.

Then another surge in the coin's price further catapulted Rob's windfall to over $1 million, according to documents reviewed by Fortune. Elsewhere, he invested in other coins in the shiba inu ecosystem like leash.

Sounds like he could be the same guy I read about, worth billions now but unsure of how accurate news are reported.

I was once like hmongrock, hating crypto to the core...


Even back when btc was just $6000, I was vested through my sport bookie account to take payment in biatch coin cuz they cheated me out by not paying me.  They finally payed me out in btc because that is the only way for me to get my funds because I'm from america and the bookie is from an islander, doing intentionally illegal sport booking.   

So because I hated btc coin, as soon as I got the funds, I sold it all for usd cash and took my friends out on trips and blew it like a good stick of weed.   

Live and learn.  I now don't care to do background to what they are selling or making.  As long as you are in the green, I'm riding with you to double up. 

Put feelings aside when it comes to investing.
