Title: Help please! Bought bitcoins and forgot about them.
Post by: papeter on February 10, 2018, 03:53:40 PM

I bought £100 of bitcoins through Coinify on 4th Jan 2017 it says on the dashboard:  YOU BUY 0.10599376 BTC £103 UK Pounds
I completely forgot I bought these. How can I work out what the initial £100 will be worth today?

It says that 1 bitcoin is worth today $8448 USD or £6109 approx How can I work out from this what my £100 is?

Not sure whether to buy a few more or cash them in. Looking at some technical stats, it's showing bullish.


Thanks Guys

Good thing you bought it in a cheap price way back. You can either sell it because you'll have a lot of profit from that or you can still keep it to make sure to get more profit in the future Or you can Sell and Buy again later, well its all up to you but still Goodjob in forgetting you still have Bitcoin in that site.

Excuse me if my assumption are wrong or out of place, but given you only invested £100 to invest with and now have not too far short of £1k I can imagine that your investment now wouldn't be substantially bigger than your initial £100 investment.

Given that I wouldn't bother to invest another £100 or so on top of a holding which is now much larger.

How can I work out from this what my £100 is?

You can see here in this site:

http://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=100&From=GBP&To=XBT

100 GBP =0.0163956 XBT (0.0163 btc)

it's not that much money
