Swedish programmer Alexander Bottema used to be skeptical of bitcoin until he came to see it as an innovation with similar implications as the internet — and went all in on it.
At that time, one bitcoin was worth $30. Today the virtual currency is valued at more than $17,000. Bottema doesn’t want to reveal how much savings he had when he first invested, but it’s clear he’s content with the investment: his holdings have remained untouched since that day in early 2013.
"I know how the system works and I know what I’ve invested in. Sure, the currency dips, but it has always recovered after some time. Bitcoin’s future looks bright."
