It's not much to begin with. Got some gains, currently stalking the market waiting to pounce. Once I have my mouse I'm going to put everything into an exchange. Bitcoins volatility is perfect for exchanges. If I had anything in an exchange, I could have easily increased my bitcoin on days like today. Title: Re: How much did you invest?

I invested 4k initially in two mining rigs, that money has been recovered times 3 or 4 times already and I haven't sold my miners yet and I have sold very few coins. When I realized what a great investment opportunity bitcoin was, I moved some money I had sitting on a few accounts to bitcoin and I haven't taken my profits yet, however the bulk of my coins were mined! Title: Re: How much did you invest? Post by: GameKyuubi on April 26, 2013, 02:08:34 AM I threw in $100 in 2011 and now I'm sitting on $500, waiting to buy back in after this downtrend.

I would be surprised if you are able to take advantage of the constant dips throughout the day. Most people try to do this and win out sometimes but then end up losing as much as they gained. Good luck though. I only tend to buy during obvious crashes like the recent drop to $50 and that has worked out well for me so far. Only have 1-5 % invested... it's a hobby for me.

My first experience with an exchange taught me to quit while I'm ahead. That's why I haven't lost anything even when I bought 1/3 of my btc during the 190s. Today was an obvious day. I'll just be patient and use common sense. Title: Re: How much did you invest? Post by: mgio on April 26, 2013, 02:25:36 AM Threw in $5k last november, and $5k more in january. It's worth like $120k now.

Title: Re: How much did you invest? Post by: MykelJH on April 26, 2013, 05:55:06 AM threw in $150 up 2k now playing with that if i can ever get my money back from bitfloor :/ but going to put more money into as well. probably another 3-5K looking to acquire 200 btc to hold long term

I have originally invested in BTC a little under one percent of my gross yearly income (so, 3 days' gross income or a week's income after taxes, or a couple of weeks' disposable income). I have some real estate and some debt, and I own a share of a small company. At the time I bought my BTC the money I put in was less than 0.5% of my net worth. I've sold some of my BTC and I've actually withdrawn about double my original investment. In addition to that I have fiat in MtGox about thirteen times my original total investment and I still hold bitcoins with current value of 23 times my original total investment. So, I'm firmly in the black. As my initial investment was so small and it wasn't early enough, I haven't really gotten rich (yet). Title: Re: How much did you invest? Post by: Matthew N. Wright on April 26, 2013, 06:50:14 AM I invested my life for the past 2 years and have only worked in bitcoin businesses, living off of and paying debts *only* with bitcoins I earned from work I have done inside of Bitcoin. I don't see that option though.

I consider the 20% my 'crazy money' that I do whatever I want with :P
I've been slowly cashing out my stocks and mutual funds however, growth is always nice bit too much is scary. I believe the US gov is providing too much of a helping hand to the economy with QE, low interest, and other measures... We will see in the coming months.... Title: Re: How much did you invest?

Title: Re: How much did you invest? Post by: ManBearPig on April 26, 2013, 12:18:11 PM I see 28 people invest all of their money in, does that crazy? Depends on how much "all" is! You would have done well, very well or extremely bloody amazing depending on how long ago you put as little as $1,000 into Bitcoin :) Title: Re: How much did you invest? Post by: cedivad on April 26, 2013, 12:53:32 PM I see 28 people invest all of their money in, does that crazy? If you are 21, like me... Half in, half out, BTW. I invest what I don't have to pay on taxes for my business.And hey, it paid back! Title: Re: How much did you invest? Post by: ManBearPig on April 26, 2013, 01:02:46 PM Given my trading/ investing/ gambling history I did what I shouldn't have done: I speculated with money I shouldn't have used.
But it paid off. I watch for the right opportunities for months, sometimes years and I was convinced this was worth getting into though I was a little slower than I would have liked! I first bought in single digits just about! Had a small punt at $30. Then quadrupled my investment at $73. Scooped some extra coins on the way down from $266. I got my average price down to around $38 and am taking small profits here and there. Sometimes I guess you've got to break your own rules :) |
