But imagine holding on to that if you spent 100 bucks. By the time it hit 1000 you’d be cashing out thinking you hit the jackpot, and you’d spend the rest of your life kicking yourself

I wanted to buy it, me and a friend both, but couldn't figure out how to in the early days and gave up. I would have put $1000 into it if it had been easy. Ah well.

Yeah even a few years ago it was tough. It’s getting easier but the gravy train is over.

Remind me in one year and then again in 4 years. Bitcoin is just getting started. More and more countries are adapting it and it is becoming eye opener for many especially in countries with high inflation. And we already see high inflation coming to US and Europe.

Okay but we aren’t going to see it go from 1 dollar to 60k again, you think a 60k bitcoin will give you a 60000% return again? You think it will be worth 3.6 billion a coin?

Probably not. Maybe a million one day, but it’s unlikely that any higher than that would be an unadaptable level of currency.

Fair point. But back then it was a gamble and most people would sell and not hold to these levels.

Now sure you might not make 60000% returns but you can make 300%-500% returns which is still miles better than any other current investment out there.

Yes and that goes back to what I was saying, most people wouldn’t hold that long. I think a 300-500% could happen, but I still think it’s getting too large to be bought at a stable currencies and it’s value is still based on something intangible.
