The story seems unrealistic accumulating nearly 1 BTC through collecting cans in just 2 years is a stretch.While manual labor can pay off, the numbers don't add up without more context,like the number of cans collected daily. If true, this story could motivate those waiting to save more before investing in Bitcoin.However, the truth is you can start investing with any amount, no matter how small. Don't underestimate your starting point; appreciate it and watch yourself grow.
It's definitely not real, unless it's an old story back when Bitcoin's value was significantly lower ($2,000 - $3,000), and even then, it's quite unlikely. Aluminum cans weigh almost nothing, according to this
link, you'll get about 81 to 85P per kilo, and according to Gemini AI, each can weighs about 13 to 15 grams, thus, you'll need approximately 6,600 to 7,700 cans for 100 kilos of aluminium, and based on what I found, they're worth less than $100.
So, anyone expecting us to believe that a random guy has acquire one Bitcoin, or anywhere remotely close to one coin, just by collecting cans from the street must be a gullible fool.
