John Cena's Instagram post from August 2017 has become the subject of much speculation. The former professional wrestler posted a stock photo of Bitcoin, but without any context or explanation.

Cena's bio at the time explained that he would be posting images for users to interpret on their own.

Bitcoin was trading at $4,703 when Cena made the post, and it went on to surge 306% over the next four months, reaching $19,000 by December.

If someone had invested $100 in Bitcoin after seeing Cena's post, they would have seen a massive return of 1,545% by August 2026, when the price was $77,373.
