A man in Dubai purchased Shiba Inu tokens in August 2020 worth $4,000. The investor got to accumulate nearly 5 trillion SHIB tokens with his $4,000 investment back in the day. However, SHIB was among the least-performing cryptocurrencies in 2020, and the majority of early investors did not believe in the token’s capability. Investors purchased Shiba Inu just to earn quick profits and jumped ship without thinking about the long term.

Similarly, the investor who resides in Dubai did not think that Shiba Inu would generate life-changing profits. It’s not his fault either, as SHIB was just another token in the cryptocurrency markets making its way after the rise of Dogecoin.

Shiba Inu barely performed in 2020, making the investor nervous about its future prospects. SHIB dipped in Q3 of the same year, and the $4,000 relentlessly began dipping in his portfolio. However, SHIB briefly spiked in Q4 of 2020, and the investor decided to pull the plug after breaking even. The Dubai investor sold all his 5 trillion SHIB tokens at the end of 2020 without making a profit or loss.

If the investor from Dubai held on for just 10 months, the $4,000 investment could have ballooned to $70 million. Owning 5 trillion SHIB tokens was an easy task back in the day, but not many turned millionaires due to not holding them for the long term.
