The most heartbreaking story in the crypto world has a protagonist: “Brother 480k.”

In 2014, Brother 480k took the home down payment saved by the whole family and went all in—betting everything on 100 Bitcoins.
As a result, a major bear market soon followed, and the coin price crashed by 80%.
In an instant, 480k shrank to just a small remainder.
Family members pressured him, friends mocked him, and everyone said he lost his bet.
Finally, in 2016, Brother 480k couldn’t take the pressure anymore. At 3,000 yuan per coin, he sold everything at a painful loss, turned around, and went to buy a home.
Little did he know that right after he had just sold, the market changed.
In 2017, Bitcoin surged to 140k.
In 2021, the peak reached 480k per coin.
Those 100 coins are now worth 50 million yuan in total.
Brother 480k didn’t misread the direction,
he died on the night before the takeoff.
This is the most real lesson in the crypto world:
Many people lose—not because they lose on knowledge,
but because they lose to their emotions.
Many can see the finish line,
but they can’t make it through the process.
