CONFESSION OF A BANKER ABOUT CRYPTOCURRENCY




In 2009, a friend of mine resident in the UK called and advised me to invest $1,000 in Bitcoin; he said it’s a cryptocurrency that just launched. At that time, I never heard such a word as Bitcoin neither do I know what Cryptocurrency meant. I had the $1,000 to invest but I felt as a Banker I should be the first to know about the happenings in the Financial World; Moreso, my friend is in the IT space, so I felt I should know better. To cut long story short, I didn’t invest in Bitcoin.
Now, in that same 2009, a young Norwegian boy was writing his thesis on “Encryption” and decided to use Bitcoin as a case study, to get the information he needed, however, he had to invest some Money in Bitcoin. He never invested because he wanted to be part of it; he only invested so he could get the much-needed information for his thesis.

He invested $27 and got 5,000 Bitcoins. In 2013, he was watching a program on CNN and heard about the rave about Bitcoin appreciating in value, and then he remembered his measly $27 investment. He checked up on his investment, only to find that his $27 investment some 4 Years ago had turned to $886,000. If I weren’t so foolish & paid attention to my friend’s advice, my $1,000 investment in 2009, would have gotten me 185,000 Bitcoins which would have made me over $32Million by 2013. The annoying part is that I bought a Laptop from the USA in that same 2009 for $1,000… I can’t remember where that Laptop is now. Sadly, I was more interested in putting Money in a Liability than taking a chance of an Investment…


It’s sad right that’s the story but you know what’s even worse?
*That’s still the story of countless other people even today. But you’ve got an opportunity to change that today* We have a new opportunity here to acquire something of
that same quality and it's easily at our disposal now. I bring to you the new coin in town.


There are much more crypto's (bitcoin, the billion coin, ethereum, litecoin, ripple) in town now.. its up to you to decide which you wanna invest in.

Kindly share this with your friends, you might be helping them

Malta-based cryptocurrency company probed in New York

Concerns about the lack of robust real-time and historical market surveillance capabilities A Malta-based cryptocurrency  exchange has been referred to the US department of financial services for potential violation of New York’s virtual currency regulations. The New York State Attorney General said Binance, Gate.io and Kraken had been referred to the US department for financial services after an investigation into whether those platforms accepted trade from within New York state. Binance, touted as the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, relocated to Malta earlier this year amid hype by the government. Malta’s embrace of blockchain technology led it to become a hub for cryptocurrency exchanges. Prime Minister Joseph Muscat had welcomed Binance to Malta in a Tweet. As part of a study into the cryptocurrency market, the New York Attorney General sought the voluntary participation of 13 cryptocurrency exchanges in a fact-finding inquiry into the policies and practices of vi

Soulja Boy's 'Bitcoin' Millions, PwC Backs a Stablecoin, Tether Sinks Below $1

PricewaterhouseCoopers, the top accounting firm better known as PwC, is backing a cryptocurrency—specifically, a so-called stablecoin backed by the U.S. dollar. The accounting firm is partnering with Cred, a decentralized lending startup that’s developing a new stablecoin pegged to the dollar, PwC announced Monday. PwC will offer its accounting expertise to ensure Cred’s dollar-backed coin “can provide 100% transparency and value substantiation,” the firm said in a statement. To hear PwC tell it, a lack of trust in stablecoins—and the existence of the dollar reserves backing them—has been keeping many potential investors out of cryptocurrency entirely. According to PwC, making the dollar reserves backing stablecoins fully auditable will “usher in the next 100 million users of crypto assets.” PwC is just the latest major firm to jump on the stablecoin bandwagon, joining  companies like IBM  and  venture capitalist Andreessen Horowitz,  who see the coins as a digital proxy for the
