True, I certainly wouldn't do it but many do to remain anonymous.

Read this today, I'm holding.

Owning 1 BTC compared to how many will ever be made, is the same as owning:

47 of all the cars in the world.

285 of all cell phones in the world.

1,745 acres of all the land mass in the world.

17 pounds of all the gold in the world.

Shouldn't have given away so much coin on here, could have used some spare change.

With massive investment and a warehouse you might still be in time, otherwise you can join a pool or take my advice and not bother.

Remember when I said I was thinking about buying a few when they were around $800-900 but I bottled it... kicking myself now.

I do, I sometimes think I should have said “bet your house” rather than exercise caution.

A friend put £500 into it on my last buy the dip comment. He’s happy.

Very tidy. $5000 came back faster than I thought.

Another $500 overnight



So far you could have bought every all time high on this thread and you will still have made a bundle. Who's in?

I invested a few hundred $AUD I could afford to lose back in August when Bitcoin was about $2600. I've just doubled my money :-)
One thing I've noticed over the last couple of months is Bitcoin (and others) is very volatile. I'm very much a noob when it comes to this sort of thing but I have learned one thing with these fluctuations; don't panic!

Nice. I’m waiting for the next dip to buy a bit more, I want to spend some. I expect it will hit $4000 soon enough before picking up again.

Price has been steady for a while, talk is of a surge in purchasing from banks. This is not advice to buy its a marker for myself.

Current price $5,600 see you at the end of the month.
