- Glauber Contessoto invested $250,000, witnessing his Dogecoin holdings peak at $3 million, now valued at around $50,000.
- “SlumDOGE Millionaire” still believes in Dogecoin’s potential as a Twitter currency, especially with its new owner.
- Contessoto expresses optimism for a future Dogecoin rebound to $1 in the next market cycle.
Glauber Contessoto, famously known as “SlumDOGE Millionaire,” clings to his faith in Dogecoin’s potential, undeterred by a 98% drop in his fortune from $3 million to $50,000.
Contessoto invested a hefty $250,000 into Dogecoin, driven by Elon Musk’s Twitter (now X) endorsements in 2020. This gamble paid off spectacularly as he watched his holdings skyrocket to an impressive $3 million. However, even as the meme-inspired cryptocurrency soared to unprecedented heights, the 35-year-old Las Vegas resident steadfastly held on, refusing to cash out.
Today, the situation has taken a dramatic turn. Dogecoin, which once hit an all-time high of $0.73 in May 2021, has seen its value plummet by over 90%. Contessoto’s fortunes have been hit hard, and his holdings have dipped to around $50,000.
Contessoto, who shares his journey on “The Dogecoin Millionaire” YouTube channel, candidly expressed his dismay on X recently. Yet, he firmly believes that Dogecoin has a pivotal role to play in the realm of online transactions. Elon Musk, the tech mogul behind Tesla and SpaceX, has hinted at incorporating Dogecoin into X’s payment ecosystem, which could lend credibility to Contessoto’s unwavering optimism.
The SlumDOGE Millionaire anticipates a future market cycle that could propel the cryptocurrency to $1, a feat many would consider audacious given its current trajectory. Acknowledging the cyclical nature of crypto markets, Contessoto revealed that he might adopt a different strategy next time, striking a balance between holding and taking profits.
