Man Invests $20 in Obscure Cryptocurrency, Becomes Trillionaire Overnight
The Georgia nursing school student had dabbled in cybercurrencies for around eight months and invested in the currency on Monday. On Tuesday, its value had soared to more than $1.4 trillion.
"I woke up, it's like 9 a.m. and I always check my phone to check how my crypto, to see how it's doing and I like looked at it, I'm waking up, and I'm just like, 'Naw, I'm sleeping,'" Williamson told Fox 5 Atlanta.
The student from Manchester, Georgia, then rushed onto the Coinbase cryptocurrency trading app, barely believing what he was seeing.
Williamson said that when he tried to move the currency into another wallet to withdraw, it wasn't showing the same price, so he contacted Coinbase.
Coinbase replied with a short answer saying it was looking into the issue, and tried to contact Rocket Bunny but never heard anything back.
"So, that's when I'm like, 'Okay, I'm just going to have fun with it at this point.' So, I went to Twitter," Williamson told the news network.
