Amidst the growing trend of cryptocurrencies, a bitcoin trader claimed that he had lost nearly 3000 million bitcoins due to his mother’s mistake. The trader said that he had 10,000 bitcoins, which he had bought in the year 2010 in jest. At that time the cost of one bitcoin was only $80.

He came to know that his mother had thrown away his laptop, mistaking it for a brawler. He became very disappointed after hearing his mother’s words.
The trader says that he was very angry with his mother. He almost fainted after hearing the news of his mother throwing away the laptop. He went into depression due to having lost thousands of crores of bitcoins.
