You were here when Bitcoin first started

You were here when Bitcoin first started.

Had you spent $600 back then, you could have $12 million right now.

Doesn't that bother you, user?

It bugs me all the time.

I'll randomly stop what I'm doing in the day and think about what could have been.

And now I'm even more confused with the huge drop in value. Currency is supposed to be stable. That's what the whole point of bitcoins was.

How can we use that as currency if it dips nearly 25% of its entire value in just a few days?

Your reasoning is retarded. If I knew what I know now 10 years ago I would've made billions on the stock market.

yeah, it's one of those topics I show no interest in because all I can focus on is my regret at not investing even a small amount many years ago when I sort of felt like it :(

Your misery gives me comfort. At least I'm not alone...

investors kinda suck...btc tx fees are too high for poor countries to use the damn thing.

if btc is going to be used to crush banks, it needs to lower the fees so everyone can use it.

it does bother me quiete a bit... but I have invested a bit in Ether and hope for the best now

You sound like a massive bitch

it bothers me so much I'm spending millions on time travel technology

I was here when the pizza dude bought a pizza for 10k bitcoins or something and I didnt buy in

I didnt know how and I didnt decide to spend the time to buy

Easily my biggest regret


But, I could be dead from certain experiences in life so at least I'm still alive

You could say that with anything, bitcoin is just another stock. Imagine if you could go back in time and invest in Microsoft, or Apple, or Facebook? You missed out on bitcoin like you missed out on everything else, nothing gained, nothing lost, like 99.999% of the other people on this planet

You haven't missed out on anything. You can still make a fuck ton of money with bitcoin. It will continue to go up1000s of % a year. It is still a VERY good investment. Hence why they're trying to bring futures, because the normal stock market lot can't handle what will happen. They actually can't control this system. But by god will they try.

I bought 5 bitcoin when it was

Thank you for your solace of reason... but I still can't help but fantasize about "winning the lottery" hahah :P
'spose I beat focus on frugal living and working harder!

back then there weren't unshady ways to get bitcoin though. and a lot of people lost bitcoins they bought due to hacking etc. at least cow days cryptocurrency is insured on certain sites.

Here it goes:

Bought a good chunk back in the day, sold them all when it hit 1k USD. Hindsight is 20/20.
Focusing on missed opportunities is the best way to miss new opportunities.

I invested in Ethereum when it was $5 a pop, it's worth about $760 now.

CryptoCoin investments are risky as fuck. There are way better ways to make consistent money.

Also if i knew what I know now 10 years ago, I would've won a fucking lottery. Several times.

Exactly. Also merry christmas user, hope you have a good one.

Poor AF here, someone please make my Xmas.

whaut is this

It's a poorfag begging for handouts

Even if you would have bought some bitcoin when they were super cheap, you would have cashed out long ago. Do you honestly believe you would have held on to them for that long? Its more likely you would have gotten a few hundred bucks out of it, feeling good about it then but still grumpy now for "not holding on to it longer". Nobody knows where bitcoin will stop, maybe people making tens of thousands now will regret it some years down the line for not making millions. stewing about gambling isnt good for you or your sanity, you had no way of knowing, just let it go

Yep, I have lost sleep knowing that had I only listened a bit more when I 1st heard of btc..i would be set.

But..I tried to learn and now have a bunch of ltc and eth among others..as well as some btc so I hopefully will be good in a year or so..already at the 500k mark..hopefully into the millions in a year or so.

I will get there.

I wanted to buy bitcoin when it started but i didn't have a credit card or anyway to buy stuff online at the time.

I probably would've sunk like $20 and be really rich if i did online Money back then

When you tell the begging faggot you got no cash but they take out their credit card machine. Kek

What are the way better ways?

what bugs me more is that I used to mine it back when you could actually do that on your own, had several hundred coins and lost them all a few years ago in the mtgox fiasco.

it's not currency. it's speculative bullshit. the whole point of bitcoin was to buy drugs and other elicit services anonymously

True. As with any investment, it's very risky.

getting a decent job, for starters.

Posting referral link to JSECoin. Yes, it may end up being trash and not go anywhere. But if you want to sign up, I would appreciate it if you use my referral jsecoin com/o/?a=44938 so we both get a referral bonus.

People need to understand that you don't have anything except Bitcoin unless you exchange it to USD.

Guess what would happen if many people wanted to become a millionaire at once?

be warned that bitcoin is actually segwit coin, they have completely lost their way. luckily the real bitcoin lives on (they call it "bitcoin cash"). bitcoin (segwit coin) has failed but hope lives on with bitcoin cash.

And if you bought a house around 2008 you'd want to be dead right now. Never look at the past, only the future. It's not too late to invest a little in crypto

what the hell are you talking about?

>Tfw no response to this user
Truth hurts people when spoken

If youve spent 600 dollars on facebook stock , youd have nice 3600 bucks now. Such ruined life
On btc we have missed on millions
Thats the difference

Hindsight is always 20/20

>Had you spent $600 back then, you could have $12 million right now.

...but I didn’t have $600 back then.

It was forty thousand for two pizzas.

At that, he overpaid, as the value was about $40 on the exchange and the two pizzas cost about $25 total.

Humorously, I was relating that very story to a manager of a pizza Hut while I waited for my order, and she confided that she had just bought a hundred bucks worth of bitcoin... So she has maybe sixty six bucks today

yeah, back in 2009/2010 when my geek nerd computer friend told me about it, we downloaded some program that mines shitcoins and left it running for 8+ hours on a shitty craptop while we were both at work.

we came back home, found out that in 9ish hours it "only" mined half a coin and deleted the whole thing. now each coin is worth fucking ten thousand i cant help but wonder how big my mansion in monaco would have been

You cant really do anything legal with it.
I don’t think my landlord would accept btc for rent and I am pretty sure I can’t use it at Superstore

>around for nearly a decade

>normies don't care/too ignorant

>sudden increase in value and click bait articles

>normies: "HOW DO I GET RICH FROM THIS? ??"

I wasted quints on this shit comment
I would’ve said something cool and edgy like “all niggers must fucking hang”

Bitcoin Thrash

Nice dubleandhalfdubs

It won't be quite as glorious as if you'd gotten in on the ground floor, but there's a substantial dip right now. If you know the right faucets to work and how, you can get a decent amount of free BTC and watch it go up in value quickly. Here's a guide I wrote explaining how: pastebin com / Z89tGwTh

Is it even possible to cash out when you have millions?

>be me
>learn about bitcoin from
>buy some to get drugs from silk road
>end up not using it
>38 bitcoin
>fastforward to few months ago
>bitcoin hits $18k
>cash out
>pay off my house and surprise wife

Didn't become a millionaire, but I'm not complaining at all.

Are you really dumb?

Say you bout 600$ of bitcoin that is now worth 12 million.
You sell said bitcoin for 11.5 million ensuring it will all be bought quite fast. After all people will be getting a small profit, and you keep a lot of what you earned. Let the other people be a sucker for 500k loss, in the end what's 500k on 12 m

this
how would you obtain a large amount of bitcoin 10 years ago?

Alternatively, you would have gotten hacked or scammed by now

I was broke then, and I'm even more so now. Fuck off m8.

If you invested $200 in XVG just 1 year ago, you'd have $1.2 million right now.

what did the pizza place do with the coins?

yeah I had a friend tell me to do it but i didnt fml I still know him, but I think its cheap to ask about it. now

Hahaha are you crazy? If I had spent $600 back then, I would have sold half when it would have doubled its value and the rest when it would have tripled, thinking I had the best deal ever. And then, I would be crying on the floor all day long. But I just didn't buy any, so meh.

You too, Sup Forumsro, you too! May your wishes come true.

Except that armageddon one.

/Thread

12 million that probably could never be cashed out for years and if you did you'd topple the currency

user, you've probably heard of FOMO and FUD.

I've got a name for what you're talking about:

Regret On Missing Out

. . .

No matter how hard you try, you'll never be able to predict the future.

You really just gotta be zen like a monk when it comes to crypto.

Btw the next hype is JSECoins.

It's still not on any exchanges yet. No specialized hardware required, you can mine it right in your browser. Eventually they want to use that to replace ads (i.e. webmasters make visitors mine coins instead of displaying ads). Takes virtually no resources to mine, less than a video ad.

You're free to use my referral code if you want, there's a welcome bonus and I get a kickback. Simply append /o/?a=41786 to the end of their website.

Or don't, I don't care.

Bitcoin is shitty as a currency due to slow transfer times and high transfer fees.

The concept of decentralized, faithless transactions definitely isn't bullshit.

Fuck off, with the bch, no fucking one thinks of bch when they think of bitcoin or crypto. You faggots push it because you think it is the way to make up for missing the btc train.

Congrats. I got into crypto around May 2017. Between then and now, I spent $3000 and made $7000. This includes many, many mistakes.

Now I'm not totally shit at this, and expect/hope to do much better in 2018.

I always wonder if is possible to buy military weapons & vehicules with bitcoins

Bitcoin Cash AKA BCash AKA Bitch Coin SUCK A GIANT HORSE COCK.

(PSA: Do not buy Bitcoin Cash; it is shit)

Are you stupid? Most exchanges have a 50-70k a week transfer limit, you could be taking out 200-280k per month, over a year you can remove a few mil easy. And that is not even getting creative. And exits will be easier as it gains in popularity.

> Currency is supposed to be stable
lole, no it isn't.
Currency is meant to make things equal among peers. That's it.
There is no such thing as stability in currency.
Stability comes from companies or persons making financial buffers to shield clients buying products from the wild swings that happen in currency all the time.
Go watch literally ANY exchange rate index and watch the price bounce around multiple times a day.

The only difference between, say, the Dollar and Bitcoin, is that Dollar has considerably larger userbase compared to Bitcoin.
Having a considerably larger userbase means the price swings are less chaotic compared to that of Bitcoins multiple thousand swings every few hours.

Also, no, the fact dollar has some physical value invested in it means shit.
Good luck withdrawing your total wealth. You'll get shit on as hard as you do with Bitcoin exchanges. There is so many checks and balances in place, not to mention withdrawal limits in pretty much every single bank that exists.
The only people that get exceptions to this are people bringing in 4 digits a day or more. (usually)

Checked.

It was a transaction between two guys in a forum. Notable because it was the first purchase with bit coin. The one guy used a credit card to pay for the pizza

Just want to mention a couple coins here:

Electroneum - This *may* be the next Bitcoin; it's a Monero clone that'll be marketed to normal people. It has "simulated mining" which is basically a big marketing program that gives out a few coins to help promote Electroneum. The team behind is planning deals related to mobile networks, online gaming, and gambling. Also, the hope is this will bring in millions of "unbanked" users across the world.

It's currently around $0.9, but once it's added to more exchanges than Cryptopia, it will increase. Also got the McAfee seal of approval.

Listen or don't, but you almost definitely will profit if you buy $ETN now and then wait a year.


. . .

Another coin is Greostlcoin; this is a cryptocurrency that's better than way better than Bitcoin. It's going to be rebranded in 2018, so buy now while the name is weird.

Don't miss the ripple train. It's already full steam ahead. I bought it for pennies and it went over a buck. It's not too late.

I was here when computers, the internet, Facebook, Twitter and all of the consoles were invented. If I had invested I’d be a billionaire by now, but I didn’t, so I’m not.

Man...fuckin' ripple. I had 2000 XRP, but sold after the Swell Conf. nothing burger.

Happily, I made similar gains on other coins but yeah, fuck ripple. At this point it would be a FOMO buy for me and that's against my crypto religion.

The fuck are you on about, retard?
Bitcoin Cash is a direct fork FROM Bitcoin because people weren't happy with the shitty transaction speeds and fees exploding through the roof.
Every single one of them got mirrored copies of their BTC to BCH.

Glad to finally have the appropriate forum to tell a Bcash faggot to GO SUCK ROGER VER'S DICK. Just go suck it. Nobody will let your bullshit go unchecked here.

>The only difference between, say, the Dollar and Bitcoin, is that Dollar has considerably larger userbase compared to Bitcoin.
>Having a considerably larger userbase means the price swings are less chaotic compared to that of Bitcoins multiple thousand swings every few hours.
bitcoin has more user than the currencies of many small countries and is more volatile than any of them. Bitcoin is poker chips if the casino was run by people who didn't know how to play cards.

Now imagine you had and you had lost your keys or your wallet about a year ago. Let that scenario sink in, user.

Yes, it is a fork of the coin..so is btg..AND?


I fucking am on exchanges 24/7..as I am right now. I know what the fuck the idiots trading it say and what their hopes are for it.

And you could also have left the house yesterday, gotten run over by a car and lost both your legs.

Your point, OP?

I don't even have any of the shit coins. You are still a fucking retard.

Just want to point out that there are other cryptocurrencies out there beyond BTC and its clones.

If you're arguing about bitcoin in particular, take a look at Monero for example-- (I don't own Monero at this time)

- Faster transfer rates (you can increase priority)
- Anonymity features (you can increase anonymity)
- Much smaller transfer fees
- Much higher transfer times.

Just giving this as an example. Bitcoin's primarily relevance is due to its massive first-mover advantage.

Not retarded enough to hold bcash. Don't care what coins you hold OR if you live or die. Merry Christmas!

The fucking retard I quoted is stating it as if it was some brand new coin because nocoiners missed out.
It isn't.
It's a fork from an existing coin.

This.
The funny thing is retards seriously think Bitcoin is going to win.
It won't. Bitcoin is horribly flawed.
The only reason it is king right now is BECAUSE of said flaws.
Those flaws make it easy to make money off of.
Bitcoin is worthless as a currency. But it is fucking great for making money off others stupidity in the constant pump and dumps that happen every few months.
Lightning won't save Bitcoin either. It's so fucking retarded.

BCH won't win out either.
Neither will Ethereum.
Neither will Monero.
Neither will Ripple.

It will be the smart bastard that sits back taking notes and combining all the good facets of these various systems in to one that will win in the long run.

All this slump shit and bubble bursting is sorry as journalists who are annoyed that their crappy degree didnt see them make millions off a 'geeky' project.

The bubble hasnt burst, I only jumped on 2 months ago, have tripled my investment, although I havn't done anything until I cash out.

Bitcoin in bought in November are still worth way more than any standard investment.

Butthurt traditionalist will eek out of the woodwork everytime to tell you their ways are the best, like fucking witchdoctors, guarantee they will buy in when they can, BTC will be worth a million per coin by the end of 2018.

Since you seem to know your way around this a bit, I could use some advise.

Lets say you were offered a gift of 0.25 BTC and you could choose if you wanted it all in BTC or if you wanted to split it up between BTC and BTCash.
What would you advise to do? Go full BTC at this point? Or go like 3:1 BTC:BTCash?

Thanks for your time

I don't give a fuck what coin ultimately wins..I just care that I can make a shit load of cash on the whole shake out process. So far, not doing so bad. At almost a half mil now, just need to get to 2mil and I can retire and be done with it all.

it does
its cryptocurrency - its cryptosafe

Full of shit.

Underrated reasonable post nobody responds to because it clashes with their fantasies.

Could you guys maybe lend me a second and give an opinion on

and you dont have $12,000,000 right now :)

I have yet to see someone who has actually cashed out, though. Until then, all of these "investors" are just theoretically rich with a currency they really can't spend.

No it doesn't bother me, there's no way anyone could have known this. It's like lamenting that I didn't buy Apple stock when I was a toddler.

Was thinking about buying ethereum. Y/n?

The crypto wave has crashed on the shore. At this point its only a matter of time before everything becomes near worthless

This. Show me proof of anyone cashing out 1 bitcoin, turning it into $ or euros (or another real currency backed by an actual country's national bank), and putting those dollars into a real currency account in a real bank.

Without getting investigated.

the difference is is that everyone knew about bitcoin, but ask someone what apple was back in the day and they wouldn't have a clue. bitcoin just seems like it was so much more in reach, and most of us probably knew someone who was mining it or talked about it, not many could say the same about someone investing in apple stock.
