Clear as a bell.

It was a month and a half after I discovered Bitcoin and the price had already doubled as I gave myself a crash course in dual-key cryptography and Bitcoin history and realized it was not only NOT a scam but one of the biggest technological breakthroughs of our time.

I was drawn to the fact that it was decentralized, open-source, and peer-to-peer. I realized it could be to wealth what the internet was to information, a money superhighway so to speak.

I'd actually made the decision to buy and mine Bitcoin in mid-February but had wasted time transferring money to Paypal (no credit cards) to buy coins, foolishly not realizing that Paypal would have nothing to do with anything Bitcoin.

Then I realized that Butterfly Labs accepted Paypal so I spent my money on ASICs instead. That was about the time this article was written. I was promised delivery by May. LOL Who knows how many coins my miner had already mined by the time I received it in October.

By the time I had figured out how to actually buy coins anonymously, the price had doubled again up to $68 (USD and CAD were at par in those days).

My miner ended up mining me around 5BTC before becoming obsolete shortly after receiving it. If I'd bought bitcoins instead as originally intended, I would have gotten over 20 coins for my $650.

Oh well. Live and learn. At least it wasn't as expensive a lesson as MtGox teaching me to never use an exchange or otherwise expose coins to the internet.

Ahh. Those were the days. So much excitement and anticipation. Now I just sit back and watch the price like some kind of abstract sports score, buying or receiving revenues in Bitcoin whenever possible and selling only when necessary.

Living happily ever after is fun and stress-free. Thank you Bitcoin.

Good  morning  Bitcoinland. I see the battlle for $9k rages on.

Just when some folks started to think about putting the Vegeta can back on the pantry shelf, we drop back to where we were 3 days ago... currently $8630USD $11276CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

This could take some time.

Good afternoon Bitcoinland.

The rise continues... currently $8885USD $11610CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Nice to see $9k as fleeting as it was. We can all celebrate with memes of salt-vegetable-MSG seasonings (or children`s TV cartoons if you prefer) and wait for the $9k battle to really be over, as long as it takes.

Regardless of Vegeta fun, the real fun will be the battle for 5 digits.

Go Bitcoin go.

Thanx... next target: 2600.  

Good morning Bitcoinland from the Maya jungle.

Haven`t posted here in the few days since I got out here (internet problems) but the price continues to rise..... currently $8863USD $11580CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

2020 is starting out quite nicely.

Go Bitcoin go.


Short attention span.

Then again it could be a typo. The T key is right beside the Y key.

Good evening Bitcoinland from my air-conditioned hotel room in Playa del Carmen.

So far so good. I got in here yesterday and the price was about $7.8k and now it`s up over $8.2k... currently $8232USD $10743CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Hopefully we can put that crap to rest about my travels south somehow causing the price to fall. It was getting annoying.

No rocket memes yet.

We're still way down in quadruple digits.

It's a nice little rise though.

 

I'll take 9700-9750 if its still available.

I figure recovery from the winter doldrums should be started and the battle for $10k should be underway. This was the closest slot still open.

Thanks MicG. You're a champ.

The perfect time to sell is only when you absolutely must.

Wouldn't you rather be holding a nest egg of Bitcoin rather than a depreciating asset like fiat currencies?

Happy 11th birthday Bitcoinland.



Up a wee after debarting... currently $7391USD/$9595CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Go Bitcoin go.

The title of this thread is in error. It should read "a Bearish or Still a Bull Season".

Having doubled in price, 2019 was obviously a bull year.

I see no reason 2020 should turn bearish. With the halving approaching, the bull market should continue.

Nonsense. It doubled in price in 2019.

A happy New Year's Eve morning Bitcoinland.

Still going sideways... currently $7249USD/$9427CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

It's starting to look like December will end up where we started.


So this person wants to be "referred to as them or they rather than he or she"?

Since when did a singular person become plural?

The proper term would be "he or she", or even better, "it".

Good morning Coinland.
Happy 5th day of Xmas.
5 golden bitcoins.

We're creeping upward
Seven four twenty dollars
(Bitcoinaverage).

Let's finish the year
With a spectacular rise
For a new decade.

Merry Xmas and peace on earth to all Bitcoiners, bulls and bears alike.



May your dreams be merry and bright and may all your hodlings be Bitcoin. Lump of coal to all shitcoiners.

Sideways is reassuring on this fine Xmas morning... currently $7200USD/$9480CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Enjoy your excess of rich foods and beverages.

Life is good. Thank you Bitcoin.

Happy Sunday folks.
Bitcoinaverage says it's
Seven four nine two dollars.

I hope all of you
Are having happy and
Healthy holiday.

Curse of the drinking class. 

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see another little dip... currently $6715USD/$8840CAD  (Bitcoinaverage).

Back to where we were 3 weeks ago.

No big deal, but some people here are whining like a bunch of vegetarians.


It was Richy. He moved it to the other forum after a spat with Theymos as part of the block-size wars.

I miss it too. It was my morning go-to for years.

No.

Just wary of criminals like nosy governments and other corporations.
