Title: Thanks For The Great Year!
Post by: winnate on April 02, 2014, 05:31:58 AM
While I was taking off my referral accounts from my signature I noticed that today i'm one year old!

I'm a little blown away by it!  I've been a part of bitcoin since 2012, buying my first BTC in January of 2012.  I've had accounts in the three figures, I've bet over 50BTC at once, and I've probably lost a mind boggling amount of money at todays exchange rate because of it.  I pissed them all away as soon as I got them, having none left over when the price took off.  I bought one or two after that,  I rode the peak and held the few coins I had, and recently had to sell due to unemployement.  As of two weeks ago I had a quarter of a BTC, and today i'm at a little over half.  I've never hit it big, i've had so many chances but I never realized them.  I want to congratulate everyone who was with me at the time who decided to keep them, you deserve it.  None of us had any real idea that this would take off so far, but look at it now!  

I don't know if Bitcoin will survive the long haul, but guys, this is one of the most life changing pursuit of knowledge i've ever partook in.  I've learned about the fundamentals of a society, finances, how value is applied, and so many other countless lessons.  Its been a complete and utter obsession, Bitcoin news and sites are my morning newspaper.  

Even though I haven't posted often, thank you all for being such a big part of my life the last year!  TO THE MOON!

Good read, happy cake day :)

It's always amazing to read stories about people who happened to get into bitcoins early and made a fortune, but no one hears about the people that made mistakes along the way.
People who bought at 1$ and sold at 2$. People who gambled it away cause it was just internet points and only valued a dollar or two. People that got scammed, lied to and cheated off their coins.

I'm sort of in the same boat as you buddy, the most I've ever owned was 15 btc and obviously I cashed them out way too early.

That's how it goes.

There is still time to "start over"
I'm excited about the temporary lower prices, this is a great time to earn/buy more BTC.
