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.

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?
We've witnessed many instances like this where people made a large profit from Bitcoin. They were able to do it by patiently holding their Bitcoin assets for several years. And for others, they didn't hold and store Bitcoin in their wallets for years, but in the end, their waiting was not in vain.
Just like you said, someone who bought just $10 worth and let it sit for a few months or years could see that initial $10 investment turn into $100.
That's a real possibility in the crypto space.
