Title: How much was bitcoin worth when you learned about it?
Post by: Legend on Nov 27, 2017, 05:12 AM
Today 1 bitcoin is worth over $9,000.

When I first learned about them and could have mined or got some, they were around $10. I should have got some!

How about you?

How about you?
And to think, if you had 100 bitcoins, you could buy half a house in Toronto.

You can't.

If you don't have it saved somewhere, then you're out of luck.

Fun fact: I first started thinking about how I missed out on the bitcoin craze when they hit $4,000.


How much do you guys want to bet that sometime next year we will be bumping this thread for them reaching $20,000?

You can ask the pizza guy, seems like a great investment to him. 

Just imagine buying pizzas and then finding out, that the money you spent those pizzas on, could have been traded in for $90,000,000.

In general, definitely.

It's basically like company stock without the company. Market cap is $155 billion. 17 million shares.

So are early adopters just not cashing in then?  I sure as hell would if I had that huge amount of bitcoins.

I don't know. It doubles in value every few months so lots of people don't want to cash out early.

I feel like it has to pop at some point, but that might be a few years from now if people are lucky.

If you didn't know, you can buy partial bitcoins just like you can buy pennies instead of a full dollar.

Personally I'm waiting for the crash, then going to buy like $20 worth and see what happens  8)

I could have wasted all my savings and bought a few bitcoins, I'd have doubled my money in a few days.  Though I still wouldn't know where to get my cash.

Like bitcoins, but less popular.

Have gone from $60 to $350 in the last month. Seem to mostly be fueled by people worrying bitcoin will crash.

Well that is too smart.

My strategy is to wait for something to become successful and then jump in faster than other people.

Though with that said, I think when competition starts racing, crypto currency is going to crash.  Everyone can't be millionaires.
