Post how much crypto you own

83497.jpg
 
I know a guy who owned a pawn shop that wiped a few laptops that had 100s or 1000s of bitcoin on them

Back then they were pretty "worthless" but holy shit, sheesh. What a chain of sorrow to think about.
 
i tried out bitcoin but it was too much hassle and the fees are ridiculous. you can't spend it just anywhere you want. i had to use the BTC to buy gift cards for places i shop at. needs to be supported by more stores and not cost so much to use.

for people who are investing in it thinking they are gonna make a profit...good for them i guess but i'm not risking hundreds or thousands on it.
 
None at all..

This talk me and my buddy had 9 years ago on FB haunts me.
We figured out, he got his $10 used book for about $2 a coin.
And we didn't talk about BC again... till we realized a year or two ago on what we missed out on... and what those $10 in coins he bought would be worth now lol

Crypto gets a bad rap but I suspect that's mainly because people don't actually understand money, and especially fiat money.

What good is chasing paper if someone else just prints more of it, when he sees fit.

Ultimately, whatever you want to signify as money just has value because people think it does.

Maybe there's a future where it's a bitcoin based economy and the people who got in on the bottom floor are gonna be our cyberpunk overlords but I just don't see it.
 
I bought a few hundred dollars worth of bitcoin several years ago because I needed it for an online purchase

I didn't end up going through with the purchase and it's worth a few thousand now
 
I had 20BTC which I sold for around 20-30€ back then to get a fancy dinner at a burger restaurant.

The burger was good so I don't cry after what I could've sold them for nowadays.

I don't own any BTC now but I do have a pretty good balance sheet in altcoins (XLM being my biggest holding) from 2016/2017, which will never ever drop to the price I bought them for anyways so I'm always in the green.

Don't invest what you can't afford to lose is a good rule of thumb for anyone looking to invest into crypto.
 
About 4k worth of varius coins in a portfolio I invested in that a friend of mine manages. I mostly did it to support him, started out with a 2k investment, was almost 30k at some point and the lowest it went was 1.1k, now it's at about 4k and steadily climbing. No idea which coins they are, I leave that all up to him.

I have had similar nightmares. I believe I have fully suppressed them now.

I have a fleeting memory of a night shortly after I moved to my current city in 2011, where I drunkenly wanted to get some Chinese delivery one night and bitcoin was a payment option and so I created a wallet and bought some and then passed out before placing the order.

I'm positive that the setup is real, because it was the first time I had ever heard of cryptocurrency. But I'm 99.999% sure I never actually bought any. Even today it's not that easy to buy bitcoin and I'm sure I couldn't have done it while drunk and tired. But every once in a while I go through my old email boxes to see if maybe it actually happened and I'm sitting on a fortune

I remember going down the Bitcoin rabbit hole right after it peaked over $100 for the first time and thinking $100 seemed insane at the time. I couldn't wrap my head around it. Honestly, its probably for the best. I would've done terrible things to myself with that kind of money at that point in my life. But I still think about where I'd be if I dropped $1000 into bitcoin back then.
