2011 Post Trending Online
Currently Holds Assets Worth 13 Trillion Won in Today's Value
What happened to the 'boyfriend' who invested his entire fortune of 50 million won when the price of 1 Bitcoin was 500 won?
Recently, a post titled "Boyfriend who doesn't work and only aims to get rich quick with cryptocurrency" became a hot topic on an online community.
Written in 2011, the post describes how the boyfriend, who had promised to marry, invested his entire fortune to buy 100,000 Bitcoins worth 50 million won. At that time, the price of 1 Bitcoin was said to be 500 won.
The poster wrote, "He said he would become the richest person in South Korea within 10 years, quit his job, and invested cash into Bitcoin or something like that," adding, "He said it would increase 100,000 times in 10 years."
She complained, "He was spouting nonsense that 1 Bitcoin would be worth 50 million won in 2021," and said, "How can you really exchange such ridiculous cryptocurrency for real money of 50 million won?"
In conclusion, she said, "He is really smart, kind, and capable, but he's obsessed with something strange and says he will earn 5 trillion won," and added, "Can I trust this person and marry him? Currently, he is completely unemployed, broke, and only holds a lot of cryptocurrency."
Recently, after Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, the Bitcoin market has continued to rise. The current price of 1 Bitcoin has surpassed $99,000, approaching the historic $100,000 mark for the first time.
If the poster's boyfriend still holds the 100,000 Bitcoins without selling, their value is about 9.9 billion dollars, which exceeds 13 trillion won when converted to Korean won.
