Missing Bitcoin is going to be one of my life's regrets
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 13th, 2017 12:23 PM Author: chestnut doctorate I'm here every day, and between asinine political garbage, racist posts, and the occasional interesting discussion I've been reading about bitcoin on this board for a long time. I have money to invest, and I even considered putting 5k into it earlier this year. Then I though, naw man, no way I'm blowing 5k on this shady fraud imaginary asset because a few people on a racist law board are mega posting about it.
If I had put 5-10k in a year ago, I'd be retiring right now. It seems unlikely that I'll ever be so close to another opportunity to escape the drudgery of running a law firm - that might have been my only chance. So, I saved a measly 5k (I just spent 5500 on gutters for the house, btw), and now maybe when I turn 70 I could have handled enough divorces to comfortably retire.
Not flame, I am sick over this. |

Date: December 13th, 2017 12:26 PM Author: iridescent elite location this wont console you, but here's my version:
I also have been tangled up in this board daily for years. I DID go into ETH ~$30, but as a drunken lark. I put a few grand in, enough to taste the goodness right now. But I actually went to all that trouble, created a coinbase account, linked my bank account to something crazy, threw some money in... and STILL DIDNT INVEST ENOUGH TO BE WORTH A DAMN.
I could have put 20 or 50k into ETH and be hosting a meet-up in a mansion Ive bought to retire in. |

Holding this shit through all of its gigantic soul crushing price movements took enormous recklessness/fearlessness/resolve/understanding that itself seems worth of a huge gain. The people that got in early also too tremendous risks on what was then relatively unknown. Simply looking back with hindsight understates what needed to happen for people to hold through till now:
The flip side is that you’ll probably have a chance to jump in when crypto takes an inevitable nose dive. Of course you’ll likely be to scared to do so. |

lol jesus this is some real "I DESERVE my cryptobucks!" bullshit. If you were treating it as a serious investment with massive potential upside but also downside then you would just park it and forget it like exeunt. Most people in crypto right now are the equivalent of house flippers who go in with the expectation they will be near-instantly rewarded and they DERSERVE IT for taking RISKS and would (will) be absolutely shocked otherwise |

Nice little chunk of change but hardly life changing. There was idiot proof money to be made in crypto this year but not millions per idiot.

There are 1000's of shitcoins out there, if you don't want to go in on risky ICO's, some of them (I would imagine) will eventually end up trading for a pittance on coinfraudbase and other major exchanges. You can prob get in early on those and make even better returns. Just be content with reasonable gains for now and expect a correction.
