I'm a 57-year-old hairdresser from Birmingham who's made £210,000 from Bitcoin It’s Christmas 2017 and hairdresser Jacqui Wilkinson is snuggled up with her husband on the sofa watching the TV news in their council house outside Birmingham, when an item about Bitcoin catches her attention.
‘I want to tell people about my own positive experience with Bitcoin,’ says the 57-year-old grandmother, who with her thick glossy hair is more Bitcoin Babe than Crypto Gran.
It’s doubtful, too, that Jacqui could have predicted she would have also corralled more than ten of her family and friends into buying Bitcoin.
And when she reveals that her own 82-year-old mother’s initial investment has shot up from £12,000 to £57,000 in two years, you can see why Jacqui’s eyes light up when I arrive at the avid Daily Mail reader’s home to learn the secrets of her success.
A property is for sale in London for 3,000 Bitcoin – the equivalent of £17 million – with the owner so confident in the future of the cryptocurrency he is refusing cash.
