Last April, eight months before the value of Bitcoin peaked, Ana Popovic finally did what a friend of hers had been urging her to do for months: invest in Bitcoins.
For around $350, she bought 0.25 Bitcoins. At that time, she recalls that one Bitcoin was worth between $1,800 and $2,000.
Back then she could not have imagined that only months later, by December 2017, the value of the virtual crypto-currency would have soared to $20,000.
Despite not knowing that, she wanted to be on the safe side and decided not to trade with it.
