no man, according to these forums "you only lose when you sell"  Which is true. Then the reverse is true, you're not a millionaire if you're sitting on 1000's of BTC until you sell them. It's more of a corallary of the old adage "you make your money when you buy." |
Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

I feel bad for him.
You really shouldn't From my understanding, he inherited the home or the money he used to buy the home. So even if Bitcoin drops to 0, he isn't going to lose everything. It sure is a risky move putting all his eggs in one basket, but we all our going to have to see how it plays out. The OP posted in here a while back that he was out and enjoying life. Good for them. Not sure if I could sit and watch that much of an investment rise and fall, I'd probably go crazy. Then again, thats one reason I don't invest in the stock market. |

They only question is at what price he will next time say "oh"... at $70 or $10k.  |

I like the imperturbability of this guy. you: The super-volcano under Yellowstone just erupted! Flaming pumice is hurtling from the fiery sky! him: oh. you: Satoshi just got doxxed, he's actually a gay pornstar. him: oh. you: I was once a women... him: oh. |

I just sold my 100 tonight,I feel stupid because I should have sold them when they were at 498 before the landslide.
Assuming they will go back down below 100 I am buying in again. Anyway,this guy is a gump. He basically gambled his house away.

Graham's book would just tell him to buy working assets which return value. BTC is none of that, this was pure speculation for him as its not a float for a business or anything and he is not using the BTC.
Obviously a house can be more useful then that but if it was not useful to him then in theory he is no worse off except there was always more productive alternatives.
People should compare his losses here vs a holding of gold which is the obvious choice otherwise. Both went down, Dollar is up and USA policy is perceived as great right now. Come back when its a mess again and see how those two compare, the fat lady aint singing yet

Lmao this thread is now comedy gold. So this dude has effectively lost 1/2 the value of his sale?
I would think his paper losses are greater than 50% but he will deserve even more the reward when he will sell for a profit |

not sure where you guys get this hold idea from,the game isn't hold its buy low sell high. It would be more wise to sell before it crashes make your money back and buy low and than hold,not hold it entirely until you think it has finally hit its highest point. I could tell none of you even have traded bitcoin because if you did you would have better advice to offer this bafoon than to hold the coin when it could potentially hit 100 and stay there. He doesn't have time to just hold its a waste of money.

I can tell that you don't frequent the speculation section much since you haven't noticed the cult of hodlers who try and proselytize on every thread. Some of them may be delusional, but they sure are a persistent bunch. |
