The man on Reddit who just became Dogecoin millionaire said he bought in February about 4 million dogecoins at about .047 cents worth $188k.
“The money was my life savings.” He said.
When asked about his plans he said: “I’m holding for a full year and only paying 15% taxes on it February 2022 – even then I’ll only take out 10% of my money and continue to HODL the rest“.

A user said: “Buy more now. It’s never to late to start over. The starting sign is right infront of you. You just have to cross the line and keep holding till the finish line.”
