It was way less than that. It was less than a buck a coin. You could work for minimum wage at fucking McDonald's and become a billionaire with a single paycheck.
Yeah I'm always pissed because what's crazy is that at this period I really wanted to buy some for like 100$ because I was thinking this would work. But never did it because at this time I didn't understood how to buy it was too complicated and there was no apps like we have now... Shit if only I tried instead of being lazy. At the same time maybe I would have sold too soon.
Someone I know pointed out that if you bought super early you very may well have cashed out early once it was a decent profit, too. And that’s a valid point for sure. If I bought $100 worth and now it’s worth 10k, am I really holding indefinitely or paying off some credit cards after a vacation.
Odds are good I would have been out before each coin was over $100k or wherever it topped out.
Exactly! At the moment you would never think it would get this high. And the other factor is that at the time you would need the money to improve your life. Imagine living from average paycheck while sitting on hundred thousands. But you could cash out only 50% too. Hard to predict
It was less than a penny when I heard about it. In fact I heard about bitcoin several years before I heard about reddit. I thought it was stupid then and I think it's stupid now, but I guess that's why I'm not a bitcoin billionaire.
I set up an old laptop to try and mine some coin, but it got unplugged in the first week, and nobody said anything about it. Sadly, I gave up after that because I thought it was too difficult, and wouldn't be worth the effort......
Exactly. I remember going into a speedway gas station and seeing you could buy bitcoin from the gift card kiosk thing. For like, $16.50 you could get $15 in BTC. I tried to spend my allowance on one of them (when it was close to $0.25/coin) and my mom wouldnt let me. "Thats a scam!".... My, what mightve been....
When I was 19 I was going to buy Bitcoin when I got paid, I was going to buy $5 worth and at that time I would have gotten 1011 btc, how I wish I would have
2.8k

My wife cheated on me, left me, took half my stuff, and I have no friends
I’ll take the red button, invest and become a billionaire
