Holy Crypto! Coinbase Nearly Gave Me a Heart Attack
Imagine logging into your exchange account and seeing your account balance at more than $1 billion and thinking you hit a freaking oil well. That happened to me this afternoon shortly after 4 p.m. I was just logging in to Coinbase to copy my BTC wallet address and plug it into my new Unstoppable Domain. Flabbergasted to see that Bitcoin SV made up 95% of my portfolio and was worth billions of dollars, I quickly jumped over to CoinMarketCap to see what they were reporting. Ethereum was No. 1 and Bitcoin was No. 5! No way! Bitcoin at No. 5? That’s one helluva flippening! Then I decided to see what Bitcoin SV was trading at and here’s what I saw:
Holy geez! Are you kidding me? I searched for the latest news on Bitcoin SV and crypto, but nothing. I knew it had to be a glitch. It had to be, right? No news. I took a deep breath and drove my wife to Dollar General so she could buy her favorite cheap tea—Brisk—**because everyone needs a bottle of sweet tea on days like these**. When I returned home, I checked Coinbase, CoinMarketCap, and the news again. No change on the first two. But **here’s what I found** on the news angle after a search for CoinMarketCap. It was a glitch! https://investorplace.com/2021/12/coinmarketcap-shows-crypto-spike-bitcoin-flippening-in-apparent-glitch/ And then I went to Twitter and searched for #CoinMarketCap. Here’s what I saw. https://twitter.com/RevivalBran/status/1470874271035670528 And I remembered, that’s how I felt for a second, until I came to my senses. Goes to show, you just can’t trust everything you see on the Internet. In Other News You’ll also want to read these **13 crypto predictions** for 2022.

Haha, it seems a lit people got the shock of their lives. Lucky for me I only learn about it afterwards from the news and didn't rage quit my job 🤣🤣
Yeah, that would have sucked. Quit your job, find out you're not a billionaire, then find out someone else got your job and you're stuck eating out of garbage cans. Yuck!
Glad, I've avoided that timeline
Yeah same on me i wakeup billionaire 🤣 i was so shock i even take sa screen shoots 4x my wallet i tried to sell my token at pancakeswap but the real price was thier 😭😭😭 it was all false hope 🥺
I hope you didn't sell for a loss. I was tempted to try to sell, but then my rational mind took over and I resisted the urge.
