... he sourced and shipped me a number of euro spec thermostats ... I think it was 6 BTC for the parts.

Like my TREZOR, which I bought for 0.13 BTC...

Lol. Mine was 1BTC

just over 4 btc for my trezor here. preordered jan 2016 got it in apr 2016

My ledger was around 0.1-0.2 BTC.... but... right after I received it and played with it I saw the light and the future of crypto for the masses and felt confident enough to buy some more (full) bitcoins over the next few months. I couldn't be more grateful to that enlightening purchase even if it had costed me much more. It basically triggered me to buy more BTC.

For my Trezor, some time later, I just additionally bought the same amount of BTC that it was costing me.

had to edit my post. ~4 btc was my 1st tx to my trezor.  it was actually ~0.27 btc.

i dont think i repurchased the btc i spent on it. no regrets though. the security of that trezor has allowed me very good nights of sleep knowing my corn is safe. between trezor and paper wallets for long term storage... happiness

eh well fuck I bought like 7 of those 333 megahash miners at 1 btc a pop.

heh yup, got one of those too. the block erupter. dont remember what i paid though.

if i had just held everything.. but meh. if no one had actually used btc it would be a failed experiment by now. and i didnt replace my early btc because it was all just majik internetz moneyz anyway..

My earliest memory is of S1. That was a funky (and super expensive!) little beast, never seen any electronics like this before, basically naked boards.

Yes. There's no point in trying to think how things would have been if you did a single thing differently (ie hodling more or buying more or selling/losing less) as if that wouldn't have influenced your own behaviour or even the whole echosystem. Maybe Bitcoin would have failed, or maybe you would have lost it some time later, or maybe....

Same as there is no point for laszlo thinking he shouldn't have bought the pizzas because: I am sure he had plenty of additional BTC, what did he do with them? Why didn't he mine or buy more after the trade? The price didn't suddently skyrocket right after the purchase. Buying the pizzas was not the mistake. It was a pretty good deal in fact.

Let the past be past. Think of the future... it's bright.

Yep, earlier in 2010-2013 period it probably was like being a super early VC round or angel investing.
2014-15 was more like a follow up VC round.
Now were are, hopefully, at btc IPO where public en large will start participating.
Re pizzas-great idea first time around, but later on the light bulb should have shined on (not sure if it ever did for that particular historical figure).
It did for Trace Mayer & other OGs, no doubt.

[bitserve]

And please always take into account that thinking of how much Bitcoin we could have bought or hodl in the past is no different than thinking how we could have bought that winning lottery ticket... afterwards.

That being said... why the fuck didn't I buy more?!?!   AARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

There was a time when Trust on this here board was a rating established by counterparties who had engaged in deals with the subject, indicating whether or not said deals were satisfactorily concluded. In this manner, Trust was a relative indicator if engaging in a future deal with said subject would likely result in being defrauded.

These days, it seems the Trust system ain't nothing but a popularity contest. Absolutely useless for its stated purpose. The sooner theymos decides to abolish it, the better.

In the meantime, knock yourself out chasing that elusive meaningless glitter.

exactly

flensgold is the only person I ever put the trust flag on, he sourced and shipped me a number of euro spec thermostats to fit HVD.be waffle irons (long story).  This was way back in the day, I think it was 6 BTC for the parts.  I could not find an EU supplier that would accept a US credit card and my bank laughed at me when I wanted a wire transfer in the low 3 digits.

Point is, the guy could have given me the finger and walked with 6 BTC, instead he repackaged and shipped my parts.

Trust, that is what it is for.

actually for us sorta early hobbyist miners btc were continually trickling in, so we replaced some as we went anyway.

i dont recall the price point (EDIT: more the ROI point, not btc price point) where i actually considered btc as possibly a real investment as opposed to pure experiment, but once it hit that i started to pay more attention. early on though the chance of it all crashing down to zero was much higher than today, so i didnt bother replacing any aside from my mining them. but now? nope, while it still may fail in some way hodl or use and replace is the name of the game until set goals are achieved. even then i will always try to have a reserve to call on.

So, you are saying sideways from now to halvening?

Badger is a bad tempered drunk driver, prone to fits of road rage.

I don’t tend to worry about what he does in the short term as long as he gets home at the end of the night.  The halveninng is just a signpost by the side of the road to let us know badger is heading in the right direction.

A new small long of mine was swept by a sudden dip. I'm keeping tight stops in this phase. Flat ATM, but waiting to renew my long if it really dips.

Sunday chilling @coiner house .... not playing myself other stuff to do later on today....

Got much love for those friends in here!!!

Anyone playing @the moment SCOOPS?

That looks cozy AF! What are you smoking?

Weed, but me nothing, i'm no smoker and will also never smoke weed anymore for fun and lulz after what happened on my last Bday, I was sick AF!!!

Yeah, a lot of people get sick but I never actually smoked so much that it made me sick. I don't really understand the whole culture of pushing your limits. Although... Leveraging on acid is not something people forget

Bitcoin is up over 800% in the last 10 quarters.

It would take more than 8 years to deliver the same results if you were compounding money at 30% year-over-year.

Detractors hate math, but Bitcoin continues to be the best investment of the last decade

Remember how relentless the Bear market was at screwing over the Bulls?

You’ve witnessed just the beginning of the Bulls revenge. This is gonna take a while.

It does happen - and it happened to two of my acquaintances - but it's unusual to be sick when smoking weed. It's more likely to happen to nonsmokers - meaning people who don't actually smoke anything, including legal poison. Weed is actually good at preventing being sick.

Psychedelics are a different ball game, but acid isn't the most vomit-inducing of the lot.

I have found that the ramp up on Psilocybin can be a bit, um, turbulent, in both a psychological and gastrointestinal sense, but if you just hodl through it everything is good.

[Last of the V8s]

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy

Hello lamppost, what'cha knowing
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain't you got no rhymes for me?
Doo-ait-n-doo-doo, feeling groovy
Ba da-da da-da da-da, feeling groovy

I got no deeds to do, no promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morningtime drop all its petals on me
Life, I love you, all is groovy
