Chasten Hamilton believes his crypto investment will pay off his college fees and loans and he can now dream of buying a house in the coming year. This 24 years old Physical therapy grad student from Indianapolis, got into crypto when he was 20 in 2017 during the bear market. He held onto $300 worth of crypto.
He bought AMC this year when he saw the runup in meme stocks like GameStop Corp. and AMC. Chasten Hamilton was in two minds about his crypto investments looking at the charts and discussing with his fiance whether he should be buying more. He kept thinking he has this $300 in crypto since 2017 and he has made a big mistake.
But eventually things worked in his favor. After scrolling through OpenSea, the peer-to-peer marketplace for NFTs, for hours late at night he finally bought an ape. It got listed for three times the price so Chasten sold it. It was a good moment for him and made him realize he had enough money for a Bored Ape from another seller.
Chasten Hamilton says he was at a point where he was addicted to buying the ape as he gave more than $4,500 for monkey internet pictures. He sold one and made the most life-changing investment as he bought it for 0.3 Ether but traded it for a different Ape that fetched him 55 Ether which made his $800 investment turn into about $170,000 to $180,000.
