Shubham Saini’s tale is both a warning and inspiration for young entrepreneurs. After investing Rs 1.5 lakh in the virtual asset, a 1000% jump increased the value of Saini’s portfolio to Rs 30 lakh. A 90% crash in 2021, dragged the value of his wallet down to Rs 1 lakh. Saini had to sell his iPhone to get by, and finally opened a tea stall. Some customers tried paying for tea via Bitcoin, and accepting it has made his shop popular.
