Proof of Foolishness

[Lucius]

About 18 months ago, I took all of my saving to invest in Bitcoin.

I did that without telling my wife. She was so angry and said how foolish I was.

Yesterday, I show her my BTC wallet and the current price of Bitcoin... 

"Honey, please look at my Proof of Foolishness" I told her. "and I will foolishly continue holding these BTC untill the price reach 500,000 USD. I wish by then I will once again show you how foolish I am"

I think this is in any case a risky move,but which at this moment certainly paid off.What would be wise to do and someone has already advice you,at least cash out your initial investment so you will have your money and BTC to wait your expected price.

Compared to the family who sold the house and everything else and invest all in BTC this is a little less drastic example,but I agree that this was still gambling.What is the risk here we are talking about it is unknown to us because we do not know amount OP is invest.

WOW, the time she looks on the balance had been amazing.

Your proof of foolishness was not foolish after all.  I wish I also have the guts and bravery you had when you invest all your money into bitcoin.  I am just always been afraid because I am earning just right for my daily expenses.  When our Christmas bonus arrived, I will invest some of it to bitcoin hoping that my foolishness will result also into a wonderful way to be a fool.

It goes to show that not all of us here had a decent amount of salary in our current job if we had we will have have known bitcoin at all and will not get interested in this kind of investment scheme earning, and I think there are many here that not have a savings just like OP has that is why we don't have guts in giving a go with all of our money with bitcoin yet.

Hahaha I bet she now loves your foolishness. You are reminding me of my friend. I have been nagging him for years to put a few dollars on Bitcoin. He just got his first job. He still has not invested. All I did was to send him a screenshot of the current Bitcoin price. His jaw dropped.

[Bren Briones]

Wow! If that is the foolishness to be taken, we should now redefine the meaning or add some positive thoughts in the word "foolishness". I'm sure every wife will not get nagger if that is the case of foolishness. Bitcoin really moved many lives. Good for you Sir!

ohh man you have the guts to put all your money in bitcoins one year ago.
I wish i had done that same thing.
just a quick quest how much bit coin you are holding right now and how money you have invested last year.
give us something for a goose bump..

I wished I also have the courage you had when you turned all your money into bitcoins.  It was really worth the anger of your wife considering that you and her can now live a comfortable life.  When I have an opportunity to invest more or to buy more bitcoin, I will do it considering that bitcoin really gives a good income.  The foolishness you made really paid off.

#If you are serious, then it would be a good idea to sell enough bitcoins to cover your initial investment. Just to keep your wife happy and the relationship working even if something unexpected would happen to bitcoin value.
Other vice you will be hearing about your "foolishness" for the rest of your life...

[Red-Apple]

this is called taking a big risk. i just hope you had a back up plan when you did this investment. because this type of risk taking is like a double edge sword. it can cut both ways. you may become rich or you may become poor. that is why this type of risk taking doesn't have that many interested in it.

my suggestion is that you take some thing out now. 18 months ago price was $800-$900 and in order to take out your initial investment with profit you only have to sell nearly 15% of your investment. for example you can sell 2.25BTC out of 15BTC! you can sell 3 to even have profit out too. and that is $17000

Only,people who don't know the potential of bitcoin would think that it would be a foolish act to invest in bitcoins.But unfortunately,majority of people in the world are still foolish.

But nowadays,this situation has started to change slowly.Now,more people have started to buy bitcoin as a huge return giving asset.Bitcoin's price was just $650 an year ago and now its price is $5,665.No body could expect such a return from any other asset or stock.

But still,some people like jamie dimon are trying to make people fool by terming bitcoin as a fraud and its very unfortunate that even their tweets cause a fall in bitcoin price.

What a great story you have there. You are really foolish and I wish I was foolish too.
Just hold to your bitcoins as an investment when the time you are tired of your job then you can quit your job and tour around the world with your family.

Here this happened also with me , Because in the starting when I bought bitcoin then its price was about 330$/btc which was really a small amount in my opinion but after that I leaved the bitcoin about 0.1 btc Because I thought that I made mistake of buy bitcoin and now I can't sell Because if I will sell then surely the trader will buy at low price and also I will be charged for the transaction fee ( since was the small fee but still I was looking at every point of loss everytime ) .
But after 6 month I come back in the bitcoin but just forget my wallet but  when two months ago when I comes to know that I have a wallet that have few fraction of bitcoin then I recovered and found that what I left and what I got today .
So here it gives us a lesson that what should we have with the bitcoin as our wish and what we can done if we can make investment again.

Unfortunately, only a small percentage of the many "foolish" decisions all of us can be making in this life will turn to be as great as your story. It is just fortunate that when you feel the need to be a fool you used Bitcoin as the object of that decision. And what a big WOW it turned out to be.

Reading your story, I concluded that you are one of the few people in this world that got into a very lucky streak with Bitcoin. Again, not all people are awarded such a magnificent bounty. You made a good decision which eventually paid well. How I wish we were friends and you then convinced me to also made a run for Bitcoin.

Congratulations! 

[RayvenPierre]

What a foolish man you are! I wish I knew about bitcoin earlier so I could be a foolish guy like you too. But seriously I wish bitcoin would prosper even more and continue increasing so we too can prove our foolishness to those who did not believe.

I took all of my saving to invest in Bitcoin.

if you ask me, that was a foolish move. it really doesn't matter if now you are in a huge profit. what matters is that you took a very big risk, the risk that nobody should take like this. what if price went down?

hell, lets just forget about the price. what if you lost your wallet? your private keys in a fire or some other disaster? that was "all your savings" gone.

Yes. That was true, I agree with you 100%, friend.

The only thing I didn't tell in my story is, I heard about Bitcoin in 2012. I did rejected it once, when the price still in very early stage.

I have spend nearly one week to research and study everything that I could find about Bitcoin before I make my purchase. 

And yes, I did sell some of my BTC 6 months later to have all of my investment back, plus some cool and nice stuffs for my wife.

[rcoins0720]

if this is true that you have bought bitcoins before then CONGRATS haha
you hit a jackpot.. You are a good risk taker and you have strong mindset hahahha
I recommend to do what I am doing.. I buy bitcoin if the price drops and then hold it until the recovery will happen
and do it again and again it is a good way to gain profit if you only holds your coins

[fhsk45]

Congratulations.
My bitcoins went from $750 to about $3500.

It is possible that at some point the price may drop abruptly and stay low for some time.
But then the price will go up again, so I keep mine.

Wow! She must be over the moon now But waiting for it to reach 500,000 USD before cashing in, you might be too old to enjoy the profits by then ;P

[redcrystal]

I would also cash in some now for the 'just in case'.
I tell you if it does ever get to $500000, I'm going to feel foolish I've not invested more

[SushiMonster]

You sir are a big risk taker and applaud you for that.
That was like gambling with a blind fold
To be honest if I knew that bitcoin would  boom this month I would have probably invest half of my savings.
