If I have a lot of money of course I will buy a lot of bitcoin in that year. But when I do not have a lot of money then I will figure out how to share it with living expenses. Because I definitely have to think about how my life can be balanced with the value that I invest.

Same goes for me. If I have known about bitcoin that time and I have enough money I will sure buy a lot o it since its price is cheap and I will hold it for a long time so that I will get a high profit.

Back then, my view of bitcoin is different from what I view it today. It is not that if ever I have a chance, I did have a chance to invest in bitcoin back then, but I do not believe in bitcoin back then yet. I believe it was a scam and used for illegal activities back then. That is why my investment was more on stocks and mutual funds.

Funny thing is, I had 50 btc 5 or so years ago, and I spent it all on dice gambling!

I'm just curious, but if you were given chance to invest in Bitcon back in 2011 (or early 2012), how much would be the optimal ammount to both a) not raise questions and b) not intervene with the progress of Bitcoin's appreciation? I mean couldn't one person just out of the blue investing too much money into the currency somehow hurt the progress of its rapid growth over several upcoming years? Also - aside from sports betting - what would be some other good investment opportunities for a normal person back in 2010-early 2012? Thanks for any advice

I would have invested around $500 in Bitcoin. Any amount higher than that would hurt me bad if I lost it.
So even if I had the foresight, I wouldn't have invested more than what I could afford to lose.

There are no questions back then. They were paying for a lot of bitcoin just for a pizza. You can have as much as you want and miners would really love to sell it too you.
They need money to pay up for electricity and what they mined doesnt fit it. So they will be running to you just to sell their coins.
It is really a different era there and it is hard to compare specially when you dont know this could happen.

Yeah, a pizza sold for a 1000 bitcoins. That is really insane if that happened these month. And bitcoin was released January 2009, and I don't think many people knew that, Satoshi Nakamoto even mined a million of bitcoin, back then, and that is the first mined bitcoins. I am saying these because that is how bitclin began, it starts at $.003 price and start pumping after that. I can buy even a million of them back then. And I will be rich.

If i actually had this opportunity i would sell of all the gold i had and buy bitcoins , sell or my property, my stock market shares and all other form of savings in bitcoin and wait for 5 years. Talking about gambling yes i would plan to start a dice site in starting and then expand towards building sites like fortunejack. Thou no matter what i won't start sports betting site as it is a risky business

If I have knowledge back in 2011 and know what will happen in the nex 6 years, I would have sold all my properties, houses, lands, domestic animals, farm animals, and invest in bitcoin.  Then wait until today to encash.  I would have been a millionaire or a billionaire if I know all this stuff back in 2011.

I think if even only one person started hoarding a really significant amount of bitcoin back then, it would not be where it would today. I believe everything that has happened in the past has made bitcoin what it is today.

No need to go back to 2011 anymore. Past is past.

You don't need 2011. Have any of you bought any bitcoins last year from 200$? Don't think so. Me neither. I thought "That's it, it is going to ground zero. Bitcoin is ded." But seeing where we are at now, that GoX bubble from back then do not look even big on bitcoinwisdom charts anymore.

We closed a massive gap from 1200$/2013 and doubled it. If the history ever repeats (which i doubt), this time nobody who bought from 2700-2800$ will be making any panic sells and this is going to prevent bitcoin from crashing even harder. From now on, there is only one possible direction: UP.

Good or bad thing about Bitcoin, early adopters/miners were the fortunate ones because due to the mining protocol if you start mining sooner rather than later you could get most of the coins, and now even if the hash power in total triples after the difficulty retarget it increases as much to prevent any excessive mining over 10 minutes 1 block found average.
Even miners currently mining are the lucky ones in my opinion, if you could mine now with the cost of $2000 per coin not only you could sell and earn a profit but if you'd kept them for another year or so then selling them then you'd be in the clear.
Please don't mistaken currently available crap coins with Bitcoin in it's early stages thinking to go and buy them in bulk, rather mining them is the best option.
Right now I have the knowledge just like I said in my last post, but there is not enough smart people around me willing to take a leap of faith with me and risk their investment, I now have the facking knowledge that Bitcoin is going to worth thousands of dollars in the near future, sadly I'm empty only the knowledge is not enough.
I think I'm going insane, lol.

[mike4001]

The problem is that back in 2011 no one though Bitcoin would ever be THAT high (except from a few fanatics).

So why would you even invest 500 USD in Bitcoin (which could by you ~ 500 BTC back then), when you didn´t think this thing will be worth anything some day.

No limit, at the time no one would have entered the system and changed with the coin supply Satoshi would hold a large amount so asking him for some would likely have only moved some non moving coins to the liquidity.
