Blue Door. One of my greatest mistakes was not buying Bitcoin when it was 100 dollars

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I fucking did buy bitcoin when it was pennies, but dumbass past me had a nasal problem and spent it immediately.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Amen. Bought my first Bitcoin with RuneScape GP and immediately blew it all

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

At least you got some fun out of it. The majority of the BTC I ever owned was on my parents computer that somehow wound up in my aunts hands. She stripped it and sold it all for parts...

I wonder what would be more profitable, buying Bitcoin early, or buying Apple stocks early?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Apple, their stock has split several times

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends how early, right? First days/months of bitcoin they were trading for fractions of a penny. What’s the ROI from $.0001 to $60,000? And in only 14yrs rather than 40.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ah you're right, a single apple stock has only going up 5800 dollars in the past 40 years, which really shows you just how insane and unregulated crypto is

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Insane? Yes. Unregulated, also yes. But if you remove the specific issues with bitcoin itself (like that it’s almost entirely used for speculation so far) and just look at the numbers you can see it’s not out of line for a brand new medium of exchange that starts trading at essentially zero but has the theoretical potential to be a major currency in world trade to have an almost unfathomable upside.

Mcap at launch: basically zero

“Mcap” of world trade: trillions (quadrillions?)

If you can do better, then do better; it's FOSS! Many others have also thought to simply eliminate that pesky price discovery phase.

What % gain since going public?

Someone tried to get me to buy at $8

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still remember the first time I read about bitcoin and thought to myself "better check this out".

Only I forgot about it until years after that lol

We had other shit to do, video games don't play themselves. Or at least back then they didn't?
