My 400 Bitcoin Bet Paid Off, But is it too Late for Others

Allasandra Sollberger, Chief Executive of Evermore Health, talks to the BBC about her experience buying and managing the crypto-currency Bitcoin.

As of this writing, the price of Bitcoin was 15261.92 US Dollars, a sharp rise over recent weeks but in a bit of a recovery from the highs of two weeks ago (topping the 19K mark).

"So you see I bought Bitcoin in 2012," Ms. Sollberger shows via her laptop to the BBC correspondent. "You see in the middle of 2012 the price was about $9.  I bought around 400 Bitcoins.  And right now, fast forwarding, we are around $18,000."

Sollberger says she no longer owns 40 Bitcoins, but still holds onto around a dozen.
