Title: How many of you are overnight millionaires?
Post by: Third Way on February 12, 2013, 06:42:55 PM
With BTC going up through 24,25 and presumably 26

How many of you have effectibely as of last night "retired"?

I didn't make much but I recouped my initial investment + approx. 50%, I got out bit before 25, I'm keeping 1 whole coin on principle.

I actually can't wait to get a few extra dollars and do this again with you all, I might do so tomorrow, or maybe I should wait until the price goes down. People that use SR will still buy coins regardless, because it's not with a bitcoin value that price is set on there, that much I know.

But I'm also glad that online store for selling growing lights and grow lkghts accessories. Which also sells solar panels. Accepts BTC ;D

Well, since bitcoin has not quite doubled since the end of 2012 that means that to have enough bitcoins to be worth a million USD today you had to have bitcoins worth half a million USD at the end of 2012.  

Many people sell into a rally when the exchange rate reaches a level that provides adequate return or when the seller believes it has advanced too far or too soon.  So there aren't that many people with a million dollars worth today.  We know that number is at least below 274 (as the total coins issued valued at the spot rate is $274 million).

If the actual number of bitcoin millionaires (i.e., those still holding bitcoins worth a million dollars) is fewer than ten in the entire world (including individuals and companies who hold bitcoins), I wouldn't be surprised.

i've done okay in general, but looking back i've definitely taken some wrong turns:

at $2: bought quite a lot
at $32: held them all
at $4: sold most (yay doubled my investment  :-[ )
at $5: bought in again
at $10: sold most (hooray doubled my investment again  :-[ )
at $25: posts in this thread

didn't have much choice though... in another thread i mentioned that i only sell when i need to, and unfortunately at those points in the market is when i needed to.
