Florida Man Buys 20 Billion ASS Coins After Missing Dogecoin Investment Opportunity

A 38-year-old unemployed man from Florida has now become the owner of 20,000,000,000 Australian Safe Shepherd (ASS) coins with his $500 investment.

The former bartender from Tampa lost his job during the COVID-19 pandemic and after being unemployed, started to invest in the financial markets on the Robinhood app.

He was also part of the GameStop hysteria back in February. Eric Hackney invested in ASS coin after losing money on GameStop as well as Dogecoin.

According to Bloomberg, Hackney has been described as a "thrill-seeking amateur, goaded on by social media". The report further added that Hackney was looking out for new things on the Robinhood app in January when Dogecoin caught his attention. He bought some Dogecoin at 4 cents and the price increased to 8. After doubling his money, he sold his Dogecoin due to the massive ups and downs in its price.

Three months later, Hackney went back to Robinhood and saw that Dogecoin's price had surged to 70 cents and decided to never miss out on a chance like this ever again. So, he invested $500 into ASS coin.

¡°Screw it. Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s see what happens,¡± Hackney said.

Based on a recent survey, social media platforms have become an integral part of the increase in retail trading. One in five investors uses Reddit to help them decide how to invest.

ASS Coin is a joke virtual currency just like Dogecoin.
