The popularity of cryptocurrencies did not go unnoticed by Rob, who works as a warehouse manager at a supermarket in northern England.
According to Fortune’s report, Rob, 35, started researching cryptocurrencies. Rob’s goal was simply to expand his savings to provide a better future for his young son.
While continuing his research on cryptocurrencies, Rob stumbled upon the meme coin “Shiba Inu” in the newspaper one day.
Rob’s perspective changed after reading the news about Shiba Inu. “After reading this, I was hooked… I believed the words.” said.
The supermarket employee began investing the money he had saved for his son’s future in SHIB in February. Rob invested a total of $8,000 in parts. Rob’s investments increased 1,200 times in value until May, when the Shiba Inu first received great attention.
Turning half a million dollars of his investment into cash, Rob stated that he was excited when he saw the amount he saw in his account.
“I come from a pretty poor background. I couldn’t even dream of having that much money.”
“Rob, who quit his job after the amount he won as a result of a dangerous bet on Shiba Inu, said that he is not currently working and is taking care of his son.
Rob also added that he still continues to hold SHIB and similar cryptocurrencies.
