It’s 3 am. The house is dark and quiet. It’s a colder than usual for this time in June. Summer is not yet here.
Marcus woke up to the sound of his alarms. Everything on his computer was off. Something bad was happening. He hit the furniture in his bedroom while looking for his glasses, it hurt. Halfway through his way into the studio, he got a sense of what could be happening. If it crashed, it was bad.
Addiction to his computer was something he was aware of, hence the alerts and alarms plugged to the house sound system. It could not be happening, it should not have been real. But it was.
The Crypto market crashed. Alarms were making sound and alerts on the screen were flashing in red. What the heck had just happened?
Since Bitcoin became a thing back in 2009, he was hooked. No need to rely on banks? Decentralised and no ‘controls’? He jumped right. By 2012, he had invested half of savings on miners. He is a true believer on CryptoCoins.
He had seen the market going up and down over the thirteen years he has been involved. Marcus did a lot of money with Crypto.
A chill feeling ran over his back. He could not get a sense of what had happened to his assets. Everything was so freaking slow. How much has he lost?
Over the last five years Marcus had made a lot of money on Crypto. Reinvesting 80% off the profits and living the time of his life with the earnings. He was a billionaire. A self made crypto billionaire.
A cyberpunk fan, computer geek and introvert who got lucky. Crypto was made for him. He had suffered terribly in 2014 with the first big crash. When MT.Gox was hacked. He promised he’ll do better next times, and he did.
If you have never followed up Crypto. It’s a rollercoaster. Prices go up and down, crashes and spikes from one day to the next are the norm. People get richer and bankrupt with the blink of an eye.
Marcus have been ridding this wave for a long time, but he was not alone. He had spent four years working on C.A.M.I.L.A (Crypto Assets Modeller Inflicted Learning Algorithm — Not a great name, but good acronym).
Nobody knew about her, and he expected nobody would ever learn, it was his. most valuable secret. Camila was responsible of seventy five percent of his profits. Camila was smart enough to make a lot of money but Marcus was afraid of what could have happened.
With adrenaline pumping on his body he got a hold of himself and logged into his computer. Time to see the reality.
It was bad. Really really bad.
BitCoin and Ethereum crashed for more than 75%. Other coins were even worse. Signals were bad all over the place. The Internet was on fire.
Marcus could not thing straight. Was he still a billionare?
