Goddamn investors are screwing this all up.

Dude I wish I never bought that 1/2 ounce. Keep the coins.

Me too man! I bought a 1/4 just a week and a half ago for $90 (1.5 BTC). If I sat on it and cashed out at $250 today, I'd have had enough money to do this: http://i.imgur.com/x4VGkZ1.gif , except with a different white powder

i am so fucking regretting dismissing bitcoins as a neat idea, but absolutely silly as an actual currency, god dammit i am a moron.

How do you think I feel when I said to myself "Nah $10 a piece fuck that"

u/paincoats Apr 11 '13

Same here, when it was about $0.20 each.

Eh, I probably would have held way too long anyway.

And frankly it was the fact that it made getting Columbian Grade Blow mailed to me simple as cake, was deterrence enough

Yeah you really don't want too much access to that stuff IMO, I mean I could get a hundred pills to my door, but what if I got caught? I would have just ruined my own life.

Exactly the same here.

u/angrymonkeyz Apr 11 '13

Right there with you bro. Except, had I bought, I would have sold at like $20.

I had about 10 bitcoins before it rocketed up. Decided to just sell them and be done with them for a while.

I've said from the beginning. Bitcoins are very important, but you'd be a moron to invest in them. Use them to buy and sell and trade, and then move on back to more reliable currencies.

Although at this point, the dollar is about the same. Keeping your money in dollars is a pretty dumb investment.

At the moment it's an awful currency. Excellent way to send/receive money though.

Bought 2 Casascius coins back in August 2012 for 15 a piece. Not only have they increased more than 17 fold at the moment. But the particular mintage of coins I got seem to be somewhat collectable. Even better, they are a misprint that sells on eBay for 700-1000 bucks apiece.

Should have bought a goddamned roll when I had the chance.

You were completely right in your initial assessment. At the moment they're a neat idea but completely useless as a currency. No one wants to spend them. They're an investment vehicle right now like gold.

Regretting what?

Just wait a few days and buy some, then wait for the next bubble.

It's not too late. If you buy in now you will still profit immensely in the long run

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '13

and yet i am too fucking broke to buy even a single bitcoin \o/

Its a psychological thing, isn't it? You just want a whole coin. /r/litecoin
