To think that not so long ago I was paid 50 BTC for two hours of work.
holy crap.. great job? Check the posting date. That might've been about $50 back in the day. And approximately .2 nowadays so this is a testament to the newer folks and what this coin can and likely will do going forward in terms of growth. Consider what buying 50 btc was back then and what it is now, go from there in the procedings. |

Now it's just impossible to believe. Those were nice times and they seem so far away from now. But we're patient.  |

Now it's just impossible to believe. Those were nice times and they seem so far away from now. But we're patient. Dude, I waited for months to buy my first bitcoins, and was kicking myself because the price doubled in that time frame. I bought my first batch at 6.5 cents. Pity I spent almost all of them before $1, I ended up missing out on most of the appreciation, even though they were more than 10 times as valuable. There are very few investments in all of human history that compare to the first four years of Bitcoin. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

Wish I could go back to 2011 and buy some coins, that way I really could still be part of the new wealthy elite. These days it's more of a poor house, to be honest...

For those who was in 2011 and talking Bitcoin here, yes, they are the wealthy elite now, for now for us who talking Bitcoin dropped from $1000, yes, we won't be elite after them.

Unfortunately, I too came after the ATH bubble burst in 2013, so I, along with any relative newcomers could be considered "Elite poor".  Hopefully, things turn around soon for us Elite bums...  |

Well, if it helps... Just imagine how you guys will be feeling if you got out of the game now only to discover, in 2 years or so, that Bitcoin has gone up to $5000 or something. Always keep in mind that things may turn around!

This has to be the hope. I unfortunately started buying around April/May 2014. I'm a HODLER but am down several thousand GBP. |

This has to be the hope. I unfortunately started buying around April/May 2014. I'm a HODLER but am down several thousand GBP. Everyone maintains this hope. This forums members expect btc holders to act differently than other investors. This is a very odd dynamic and shows a lack of investing acumen. If you're holding an underperforming stock you sell it. You don't hold it for 20 years until you get your money back or lose it all. If you're holding real estate in a neighborhood that's turning for the worst you sell it. The same it true for every other type of investment. A few of us can afford to sit around and wait for the best price or lose it all because we started mining in 2010-2011 with GPUs and are sitting on a bunch of btc that cost us nothing. If you're sitting on btc for a year waiting for it to go up and have already lost money on it. You may want to look at other investments that could return your money faster. You can always buy back into btc when the price starts to increase. |

I got into Bitcoin when the prices reached $800. I was very lucky afterwards that this prices was to high for me and I did not buy Bitcoins at this time. Instead, I hoped to get into next Bitcoin and invested into Nxt what made me not rich but gave me some considerably wealth too. What I want to say is that there are always chances to make good money if you really get into promising coins.

I bought in, sold half my coins after a %1500 runup, watched the remaining half lose about %1000 of their initial value, bought a few more, and I'm patiently waiting for the next runup. Sure, I was lucky. I called the market irrationally low when it crashed earlier and bought in, then called it irrationally high when WillyBot was doing its thing and sold before WillyBot crashed crashed it. I didn't know how soon the runup was going to happen; I just considered it undervalued after a crash. I didn't know empty-gox was running WillyBot. I just saw the market going way over what I thought the sustainable valuation at that time should be. So I got lucky a couple times. For what it's worth, I consider Bitcoin undervalued again at this time. I'm reasonably confident there'll eventually be another runup as it seeks a fair price - and it'll probably overshoot and crash again. But I expect neither the overshoot nor the crash to be as extreme as it's been the last couple of times, because we're looking at more sophisticated investors now so the bigger money will be a little smarter, and more SEC/FBI involvement than before so the scammers will be getting arrested a lot and make off with a smaller bezzle. |
