It was a chilly winter afternoon when one of our staff members (we’ll leave him anonymous for privacy) logged off for the day.
He was just about ready to head to the gym for his afternoon workout…
But first, he had to check the damage to his crypto holdings.
See, he had several thousand $$$ in crypto…
And he needed to see how much the recent crypto crash had wiped out.
So he navigated over to Coinbase.
Sweat dripped down his face.
“Oh God,” he thought. “How much did I lose? How am I gonna explain this?”
Heart pounding, he entered his username and password, clicked “log in,” and braced for impact.
But what he saw next blew him away:
His few thousand $$$ turned into $400 billion!
Forget Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos — He was now the richest human being on planet earth!
That pit in his stomach immediately transformed into excitement.
Time to travel the world! Buy a Ferrari! Dine at the finest restaurants in town!
In this mad rush of emotion, he popped open his email and wrote me a quick message:
“Hey Steve, I’m quitting! I’m out of here! See ya never ;)”
With that, he went and smashed his workout, then promptly headed to bed, eager to take his family on the vacation of a lifetime.
The next day, he was ready to plan his first vacation worthy of a multi-billionaire.
But the magic of being a multi-billionaire hadn’t worn off yet. He loved the rush of checking his fat Coinbase balance, so he logged back in.
And right then, his heart sank down into his stomach.
That $400 billion?
It evaporated overnight.
He was back to being a crypto thousandaire like most who only dabble in the asset class.
Whaddya know: I got a call from this now-former employee…
And boy, was it awkward. I felt second-hand embarrassment for him as he quietly yet profusely apologized and begged for his job back.
I consider myself merciful enough, but this was egregious. He actually thought Bitcoin has skyrocketed into the hundreds of billions.
In reality, it was a simple glitch on CoinMarketCap — a website that many crypto exchanges use as a reference for crypto prices.
Lots of other traders became “billionaires” and even “trillionaires” for a day…
And I bet this same story played out across the country or even the world.
There’s a lesson here:
Don’t burn bridges!
Well, that’s 1 lesson.
The real moral of the story here is you can’t trust a trustless system.
I mean, this guy put a major dent in his career potential thanks to a computer glitch.
You have to find a system that isn’t so finicky…
Speaking of, we discovered a little-known document that’s far more reliable than CoinMarketCap.
And the funny thing is, this document led us to a crypto stock with great potential, and it’s now in our portfolio.
