These self-made millionaires (and the cautionary tale) prove that in crypto, anything is possible. Even amid the turbulence of the past few years, crypto has minted more crypto millionaires than any other asset class — with 172,300 individuals globally who hold over $1 million in crypto assets as of July 2024.
In the first half of 2025, more than 26,000 people became Bitcoin millionaires.
https://cointelegraph.com/magazine/3-people-who-unexpectedly-became-crypto-millionaires-and-one-who-didnt/These are touching stories of some crypto hodlers who invested but either forgot it or kept it away from themselves and later it become a success story for them. I thought I should share this.
Some times ago too, I forgot I left an amount less than $10 in a wallet and when I stumbled on the wallet, the money had risen to about $100.
So how lucky have you been in your crypto investment?
Nah, Seeing these current prices do always remind me into the coins that i have wasted in the past on which I can definitely say that I might be a millionaire now if it wasnt those coins being totally wasted into those ponzi schemes or doublers.

Stories like those above really show how powerful patience and time can be in crypto. some people become millionaires almost by accident just because they held and didn’t touch their coins for years. forgetting about a small balance and later finding it multiplied feels like free money and it proves how volatile but rewarding bitcoin and other crypto can be over the long term.
