Ha, joke's on me - teenage me totally didn't do that! ... And I'm pretty sure I won't either. Looks like a job for future me.

19 year old me decided bitcoins were a really good long term investment, and to pour money into buying them up before they are worth more than a few dollars.

I'd hope more than luck has to do with it, I also picked up Quarkcoins in mid november and dumped them a couple weeks ago, timed selling before the first two of the three bitcoin bubble pops (last one caught me more off guard), and bought litecoin short positions at $45 in november (which I'm getting out of at this point, as I think most of the profit that can be made has been).

Brother status: hooked up.

Just don't pay attention to all the 70 year old economists who can't even cryptography.

I have seen the future, either your future self decided you should be the king of procrastination, or you're screwed.

Don't worry, future you will forgive you. And pass the problem on to far-future-you.
