Over the past few years, we have seen a rise in popularity, as well as values of various cryptocurrencies in the market. Amongst some of the most popular ones like Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum, Dogecoin, which is a cryptocurrency based on a meme, saw a huge surge in its value when billionaire Elon Musk started tweeting about it. And going by Elon’s words, a 33-year-old now says that he has become a millionaire by investing in the said cryptocurrency.
Glauber Contessoto is 33 years old and is a resident of Los Angeles. The guy is a fan of the Tesla CEO and after Musk started tweeting about Dogecoin a few months ago, Contessoto went in and bought 5 million Dogecoins at around $0.045 (~Rs. 3.3) on February 5.
On April 15, Contessoto shared a screenshot (attached below) of his Robinhood account on the r/dogecoin subreddit that showed the value of his investment to be a little over $1 million. So, it took around 69 days for him to become a Dogecoin millionaire.
Now, after buying the initial 5 million Dogecoin, Contessoto shared a video on his YouTube channel to explain the top 5 reasons that drove him to invest in cryptocurrency. You can check out the 18-minute video right below:
So, in the video, Contessoto says after Elon Musk started tweeting about Dogecoin, he decided to invest in it. As a result, he took out all the savings from his bank accounts, sold his shares of Tesla, Uber, and invested every penny to buy the initial Dogecoins.
