I think the days of getting rich are over, and bitcoin will maybe tenfold in worth, and not thousandfold as it did before, but just in case I will keep one btc.
The days of getting rich are over, they said. Bitcoin will never reach $10, they said.
Never say never! Notice the size of the corrections we've been having lately? Bitcoin is still as volatile as penny stocks, even after hundredfolding. It has a
huge amount of potential (including going to zero, of course, but that's why the insane bitcoin RoI is not "free moniez").
I think many can become quite rich still off bitcoin or at least make huge returns they wouldn't maybe ever had the chance of making. I can see bitcoin reaching $500 a bitcoin and you could have purchased it literally just in the past few weeks at 200 a bitcoin and you could be selling it at quite a return already. If you don't have a lot to put into bitcoin, I don't think you'll become rich off of it in the same way that people who bought bitcoin for dollars and were able to turn it around for anywhere from 100-300 per bit coin. But you never know.
Definitely if you have a thousand or a few thousand to spend on bitcoin now, I don't think you are going to turn that into retirement, but it will likely do more for you than any other investment, mutual fund, stocks, etc. that you could possibly get into.
