And here is my comment on this story, never think you can become a millionaire in this market when you are just another prey of the other, whales always create beautiful scenery and pictures of the future, that is not true. Play with passion, instead of playing with greed and everything we have, accumulate more experience and absolutely should not give up the main job.
What is your opinion of this story?
If you want my take on this, it smells fishy
As for myself, this story feels concocted and doesn't sound convincing. There are real chances to lose money due to a hack or an exchange running away with your dough (think WEX here), but they don't feel tragic and are kind of normal in the cryptoworld. Just like there are things which are too good to be true, there also seem to be things which are too bad to be true as well. I don't know but I have a feeling that this piece is written by somebody close to the ones who had been writing (in)famous tear-jerking Nigerian letters about "a terminally ill wealthy person with no relatives who deposited a huge sum of money in the bank just before dying in a plane crash" (as per Wiki)
