In 2016 people will look back at this tread and say: "all you guys are so lucky to have been buying bitcoin before you needed a 5 digit amount of fiat to buy one bitcoin"
Sad story for you: my friend struggles to get by, but has about $3,000 from a big earning month sitting in his house, in a drawer. He knows about btc and knows that I own some. He has watched the price go up since $400. Now that he has money, he refuses to buy a coin because it is too expensive. He could have made $900 in the past week, but just leaves the envelope in his kitchen drawer. If btc reaches $10k, $20k, $50k, he will want to kill himself for trying to save $50. And he will waste the money on drinking and computer games instead.

I live in the Australasia region. A nice small house in a semi-rural area down south would set you back about $40,000-$80,000 USD.
Is it so cheap? I live in South Asia. It is very difficult to find decent looking rural houses for less than $100,000. During the last few years, the values shot up by something like 5-6 times. They are very expensive now. i wish I had houses going to 40k usd that would be amazing but im unfamilar with the australasia region.

http://astrohacker.com/ahc/bitcoin-is-the-economic-singularity/After reading this, the scale of black market and digital economies and the effect Bitcoin will have on them I am pretty certain we are going to be very wealthy men -- even with a sum as small as 10 Bitcoins. It's just so hard to believe. We are only in the beginning storms with these significant rallies from 10 to 20 dollars. I will not be surprised to see prices from hundreds to thousands in the coming months. The world just isn't going to be the same and we have been blessed as the pioneers. What are you going to do with your Bitcoin wealth once your coins hit upwards of $10,000 a pop? And MtGox has rich elite, but impossible for the elite comes to their money.

Sounds a lot like me in 2012, when I refused to buy in the $5 to $6 range because I could have gotten 50% more coins for the same money just a few months earlier in 2011. And then later that year saw $10-$15 as an even worse price. Not making that mistake again.

Buy hold is my strategy. If the ship goes down I will be on the deck.

I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen.What did happen to the OP, Atlas? I remember he caused "trouble", but why was he actually banned forever/what big rule(s) did he break? Buy hold is my strategy. If the ship goes down I will be on the deck.
I like to trade to increase my BTC, so does that mean I'll be down with the rats looking for crumbs?

He falsely claimed he was going to kill himself. Some people contacted the authorities about it. It wasn't the first time he was banned either.

Wow, people from 2011 did become rich but not all. Regardless, it was worth investing them and some are wealthy.

i wish I had houses going to 40k usd that would be amazing but im unfamilar with the australasia region.
You will get some crappy house for 40k, but if you want to live in a decent house with electricity and running water, you might have to pay way more than that. Or you can buy a shitty house for 40k and then renovate it.

"You will get some crappy house for 40k..."When "we" are the new wealthy elite, then we can talk about huge houses with "minor upgrades" that cost over 40k. I wish this picture was bigger, since the house looks amazing!

I'd think twice before jumping off to that bed. The wooden fittings look quite weak to me. What will happen if the joints break (during some heavy-weight action) and the glass basement is breached?
