Hello! I bought some BTC back when they were $40 each. They went down to $10 so I sold them. But then I decided against it and bought 3.475 more, for around $34.75. I sold the 0.475 the other day for ~$337. I obviously now wish I'd bought more when they were $10.
My Bitcoins could be diamonds or Beanie Babies, so I don't know if I'm going to retire on them 20 years from now or just think of them as a nostalgic joke. Only time will tell. This is the best (even-handed) thing I've seen recently on Bitcoin: http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2013/04/bitcoin-is-money-bitcoin-is-bubble.html This is the classic (wildly optimistic) thing on Bitcoin, I think: http://falkvinge.net/2011/05/29/why-im-putting-all-my-savings-into-bitcoin/ And this is something (handy but not amazing) which I built: http://btcusd.gilesb.com/ On Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 8:07 PM, Owen Densmore <[email protected]> wrote: > Just listened to an NPR discussion of bitcoin.
