An investor who initially put $8,000 into the Shiba Inu [SHIB] cryptocurrency is now worth an impressive $5.7 billion.
This remarkable story started in August 2020 when the investor committed $8,000 to SHIB. By October 2021, SHIB had experienced a significant surge, reaching a peak value of $0.000086158837.
This spectacular growth, which represented a 7,000,000% return, took place over 400 days. This feat is dubbed as ‘the greatest individual trade of all time’ by experts and enthusiasts alike.
The investor, a veteran in the crypto space since 2011, had no insider knowledge about Shiba Inu. He saw SHIB as a potential Dogecoin [DOGE] killer, though he confirmed not investing in DOGE.
Despite initial drops in value and potential setbacks like the Telegram takedown associated with SHIB, the investor held on to his holdings. He credits the supportive crypto community in playing a significant role in his decision to stay invested.
