Back in 2010 crypto used to be exclusively the domain of this board and I know a lot of you mined bitcoin, so I'm just wondering, are most Sup Forums anons filthy rich today?
Back in 2010 crypto used to be exclusively the domain of this board and I know a lot of you mined bitcoin...

Wyatt Fisher
No, because crypto was, is, and will forever be a meme.
Lincoln Torres
If you had spent just an hour mining it in 2010, you would be a multi-millionaire today and never have to work another day in your life.
Hunter Harris
Journalism at its finest.
Ian Jackson
lie
another lie
Carter Ortiz
i never mined but i made 50k on nvidia stock
Tyler Morgan
How is it a lie? CPU mining was feasible on any computer back then. This was before mining ASICs.
Henry Myers
Could this be the reason Sup Forums died? All these fa/g/gots got rich and left?
Justin Jackson
That's why they created /biz/, so you can fuck off.
Jordan Nelson
I started buying bitcoin not long after it got some mindshare on Sup Forums. This was back when a single bitcoin was under $20.
I never had more than a dozen in my wallet but I've bought and sold several times that over.
Looking back I sometimes kick myself for not hodling but literally no one could have predicted the happenings in late 2017.
Caleb Diaz
Because nobody keeps it until it's at an arbitrary high point.
>why isn't everyone from the 80's millionaires since they could've bought Apple stock?
Elijah Cook
I sold a dozen bitcoins back in like 2011 or something. Price was high single digits. I bought a mouse with it. If I'd waited a few years I could have bought a house instead of a mouse.
Owen Long
tad different from "I know a lot of you mined bitcoin"
Blake Turner
Apple stock has only gone up something like 100x since the 80s. Bitcoin is up 300,000x since 2010. Also, you could have mined for free, whereas nobody would have given you free Apple stock.
Bentley Thomas
the point is: Only a mad man or a person how forgot their wallet would have held their bitcoin, when they could get 1000x or 10 000x the money...
Lincoln Powell
t. nocoiner
Lucas Garcia
>why didn't you hold onto your bitcoin for an extra five years after it rose 1000x in value?
Gabriel Lewis
>buy 1000 btc for $50
>sell 500 at $100
>sell 250 at $1000
>sell 250 at $19000
Not that hard.
Ethan Roberts
naw, you just have to understand the reason bitcoin is important
Jordan Brooks
>bitcoin is at $1,000,000! Where are you billionaires? I know some of you bought 1000 at $50!
Aiden Harris
$20 million is still filthy rich though. You don't need to be a billionaire.
Mason Reyes
I deleted a wallet with a block in it because I was too lazy to back-up and made fun of some guy in IRC that had mined a shitload.
WELP
Connor Johnson
How much did you lose?
Mason Allen
He probably sold it all for 5 cents each and killed himself when it hit $100.
Nathaniel Nelson
Nothing because it wasn't worth anything at the time. People weren't even buying them yet.
James Long
I meant how much btc.
Camden Robinson
I was shitting myself when it hit $1.
There is no way I would have been able to hold out for 100.
It was a single block I think 50 coins and 1 coin that some guy sent me to test.
Brandon Morris
>50 coins and 1 coin that some guy sent me to test.
Ian Ross
>50 coins
Man you're going to find it hard not to kill yourself when it reaches $100k in a couple years.
Jaxon Edwards
why do you think it's worth so much?
if people didn't lose wallets with thousands of coins they would be far cheaper now.
David Morris
Go back to onii-chan~
Landon Barnes
Was laughing at people in like 09 who were trading dogecoin and bitcoin carelessly because I thought it was just another meme
Tyler Morgan
It will never reach what it did a few months ago and its value will always bleed away because it can't into scale.
HODL ETH
Joseph Gutierrez
two days of mining on a shit gpu and HODL till last year led to about $20000
i didn't cash it out as high as possible, but i'm satisfied
Isaiah Martinez
No moonrune tripfags allowed.
Connor Cruz
>09
>dogecoin
>doge
Why are you spreading lies just like that?
Daniel Gonzalez
False. I mined for a couple of days back then and got nothing so gave up.
Gavin Gutierrez
because he's a newfag who came to Sup Forums from reddit before /biz/ was created
Andrew Murphy
basically this. you were always too late to mine.
Luke Myers
god damnit akari looks like such fucking qt in this one I can't handle it
Sebastian Robinson
I didn't mine because Sup Forums said bitcoin was a meme and it had no future.
Jonathan Gutierrez
If someone could have predicted it it wouldn't have happened
James Hughes
Will he become the richest man in the world during his life time, Sup Forums?
