#3 GW starts now!
In 2013, Linda and Jerry, a quirky middle-aged couple from Omaha, stumbled into Bitcoin while arguing over who forgot to pay the cable bill. Jerry, a sci-fi nerd, saw an article about “digital gold” and, half-joking, suggested they invest their $500 tax refund. Linda, ever the skeptic, called it “nerd money” but agreed, mostly to shut him up. They bought one Bitcoin on a shady exchange, promptly forgot the password, and stashed the old laptop in their attic, assuming they’d been scammed.
Fast forward to 2025: their grandson, Timmy, a tech-savvy teenager, unearthed the dusty laptop during a Thanksgiving cleanout. “Grandma, this thing’s a goldmine!” he squealed, cracking the password (Jerry’s favorite: “SpockLives123”). That single Bitcoin was now worth $70,000. Mystery solved, the couple’s forgotten gamble sparked a family frenzy. Linda, now a self-proclaimed “crypto queen,” insisted they HODL, while Jerry daydreamed about a spaceship-shaped pool.
They didn’t sell. Instead, they diversified, buying more Bitcoin and real estate, building a trust fund. By 2050, their descendants were thriving—Timmy’s kids attended Ivy League schools, debt-free, and their great-granddaughter launched a space tourism startup, cheekily named “Spock’s Rocket.” The family’s wealth, rooted in that one Bitcoin, grew into millions, funding scholarships and charities. Linda and Jerry, now in their 80s, chuckled at their accidental fortune, still bickering over who deserved credit. Their legacy? A dynasty built on a hunch, a bad password, and a dusty laptop that changed everything.
