A story about a young developer who started coding at 13 and created massive wealth through crypto by his early 20s.
"I knew this guy named Chris McCann because he had this thing called Startup Digest. He would email each week different startup events happening in San Francisco - different startup events when the startup community was much smaller. He eventually expanded it to different cities and sold it, probably for six figures.
He worked his way into Benchmark as an employee and somehow invested $250,000 into Solana. The Information wrote an article about how that $250,000 turned into $1 billion in about 3-4 years.
Solana went from under a dollar when it launched to $200 per coin. Just last year it was $1.54 - if you put $100,000 in at that price, you'd now have $20 million. It's had this insane run up."
