Buying Bitcoin<\/a> in the first few years after its creation would have been the investment equivalent of winning the lottery.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what might happen if an actual recent lottery winner invested half of his winnings into Bitcoin, and how much could he potentially earn if Bitcoin reaches its full potential?<\/span><\/p>\n

Winning The Lottery and Betting It On Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

The emerging asset class of digital currencies is a speculative, high-risk market. Those interested in investing into crypto or Bitcoin are often told to never invest more than they can afford to lose.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what happens when a millennial male happens to win the lottery, and suddenly finds himself with an excess of money they don\u2019t actually need, and can easily afford to lose? He invested half of it in Bitcoin<\/a>, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reddit user \/u\/Joxnlol<\/a> recently won half a million dollars on a scratch ticket from the Illinois State lottery this past April and promptly invested half of it in Bitcoin the following month in May.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given Bitcoin\u2019s penchant for rising a few thousand percent in value during bull runs, then later dropping 90% in value in downtrends, will either make the decision the smartest one the man has ever made or possibly the most foolish \u2013 only time will tell.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on when the investment was made in May 2019, the price of Bitcoin was anywhere between $5,000 and $9,000. Assuming the investor bought in around early May, at the recent $14,000 peak, a $250,000 investment in Bitcoin at $5,000 would have netted the bold Reddit user a 180% profit, taking the $250,000 and turning it into $700,000 had he sold the top.<\/span><\/p>\n

A $250,000 investment in $5,000 Bitcoin would result in holdings of 50 BTC. Bitcoin has been predicted to reach prices ranging from $100,000 per BTC to as much as $1,000,000<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Risk Versus Reward: How Much Could The Reddit User Earn?<\/h2>\n

If Bitcoin reaches $100,000 per BTC, it would represent a 1,900% increase in the investment and would take the total value to $5,000,000, earning the investor a $4,750,000 profit.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Bitcoin reaches the highest predicted amount \u2013 a prediction that John McAfee is willing to bet his manhood on<\/a> \u2013 it would earn the investor a nearly 20,000% ROI, and take the total value of 50 BTC to over $50,000,000, with a profit of just under.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, these numbers are only possible if Bitcoin<\/a> reaches such lofty predictions. The other factor is a matter of when this occurs, and if it does at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the flipside, most investors in the first-ever cryptocurrency agree that the asset will reach such incredible values, or fall to zero and disappear from existence \u2013 with very few scenarios possible in between. Bitcoin either fulfills its potential and replaces fiat currencies, or it doesn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Bitcoin does fall to zero, it would represent a total loss for the investor, and he\u2019ll have thrown away $250,000 he had just won via a scratch ticket.<\/span><\/p>\n
