This news is from the IT Hub of India, that is Kolkata. The Techie who is just 23 years old had invested a big amount of money in the Crypto space. The investment when asked him was around INR 30 lakh ~ $ 36,600 in US dollars. That is a definitely huge amount considering his age and country of residence. Even in America, 36K USD is pretty handsome money and you can do many things with it.
So the gravity of this can be sensed easily.
He was saved by the Cops after a local Cab driver alerted the police and the response team was at the incident quickly.
He was trying to jump from the largest bridge on the river named "Hooghly" to end his life.
The investment was not his alone but he collected the money from various sources. He took loans and also was using the pension from his mother. Definitely, he had no plans and no idea what he was doing.
Just save up your bitcoins in cold storage, only buy what you can afford to lose and most importantly don't fall for the traps of crypto space.
Bitcoin is the only savior in crypto and if you own the keys, you win the market. Read the news here:
Techie loses Rs 30 lakh in crypto market, tries to jump off ..You would really be definitely be ending up on this situation if you do put yourself into a very deep debt just because on what you have done. You cant just be that too confident when you do make out investment and be careless since we are talking a huge money on here specially if you do live on a country where these amounts are really indeed significant. The worst part is that these amounts or money accumulated do came from different person which means that you do added up more problem into one problem because they would really be hunting you down and telling and asking onto their funds which it would be a normal approach.
If ever these money or amounts been invested on Bitcoin itself or some top altcoins in the market then i wont really be seeing this as a huge problem.
I will keep this thread open for few more days. I think it’s for the hood lesson and also for those who are new in the crypto world. Mostly everyone is not thinking straight when investing in crypto. The new comers specially wants to be millionaire overnight so they would go and invest any amount they could and it could be from lenders money or family savings. Better yet, plan and execute your trades in the crypto all time.
I think most of the replies agree with the sentiment that’s made. Hope so this teaches everyone a good lesson.
Better lock it now, considering it is already that 4 page then its impossible that you arent been able to see or read up on what you do love to hear off.
In overall i do agree that if you are that someone who doesnt really have much idea about investment then it wouldnt really be costing you too much
time on making up some research first before proceeding so that you would be able to avoid up these possibilities.
