He claims it all started with $2,500. The anonymous investor from a crypto Telegram group loves to tell the story of how he made his fortune. And we’ll definitely share the story.
But what’s most interesting is the point of the story and not so much where it started but where it led.
After making millions…not from stocks and bonds, but from flipping alternative physical assets, this investor is now diving into DeFi for the first time. And he’s buying HedgeUp (HDUP)!
His story
He knew right away that his roommate had a nice Rolex. It was given to him as a graduation present from his father. But the roommate, like the children of many wealthy people, had his fair share of problems.
“The guy didn’t like to work. But he enjoyed the finer things in life. Specifically, gambling and ladies. After one too many nights of spending more than he really had, his parents cut him off, and he needed some cash. So I offered him $2,500 for his watch.”
As someone who never had much growing up, the investor knew precisely what to do with it: He sold it to a wealthy man online looking for this watch to replace the one he’d lost.
“I doubled my money. It was the first time anything like that had ever happened to me. And that’s why it hit me. If I wanted to be rich, I’d have to make money selling stuff to rich people. The concept was so simple I couldn’t believe I’d never thought of it before. I took the $5k, bought another watch, and flipped that one. Then I sold luxury cars for a while. With the network I built over time, I made a nice living for myself. Dabbled in art for a while, as well as some higher-end items.”
After years of playing this game, the investor wanted his piece of the DeFi pie. After hearing about HedgeUp (HDUP) and how it correlated with the market he already knew, he decided that it would be a new home for him.
So what does HedgeUp (HDUP) do?
At its core, HedgeUp (HDUP) is an NFT marketplace for its own NFTs. These tokens are not JPEGs. They’re receipt tokens that can be traded.
HedgeUp (HDUP) will place a physical item up for sale, such as an ounce of gold, and keep it locked in a secure vault and fully insured by them. Users can use BNB, stablecoins, and the HDUP token to purchase fractional shares of the gold. They now own a piece, and the NFT is a receipt verifying that ownership.
The HDUP token will be available all over the BNB chain at the best DEXs it has to offer. You can expect to see HDUP/BNB pairs and HDUP/stable pairs in deep liquidity. On top of that, there will be several staking events sponsored by the HedgeUp (HDUP) team.
