According to CoinMeta, an investor purchased a Chinese cryptocurrency named “Niulai” for $148, but chose to sell it early when its value rose by nearly 900%, earning only $1,430 in profit and missing out on a potential gain of $1.3 million. Within a week of its launch, this cryptocurrency doubled the returns for early investors, with some investors seeing their investments grow to over $1 million in a short period of time.
