Gotta say, @Gronk’s take on Bitcoin has been spot on and is now proving right.

Kudos.

If it was "hard" to see a currency tied to no physical resource in the real world was doomed to fail and you needed Gonk's advice, I've got 1000 virgins to sell you. That doesn't mean that people didn't become rich off of it, so unless you are rich, Gonk didn't really give you good advice. I remember mining Bitcoin as a young man around a decade and a half ago on advice from acquaintances, thinking it was a dumb waste of time "because electricity would cost more to leave my computer on than the bitcoin was worth" and stopping. If I heeded the advice of those people and had any idea what dump my ancient PC tower went to, I would be even more manlier than I am now.

Greetings from the land of the rising sun,

Nice try.


Anyhows who cares Avenger what others say. Way I see it is you had a bit of fun. And if you lost a little it was what you could afford and where prepared to lose. And your a responsible person who put himself in a position to be able to take a gamble.
Not some middle aged pisspot with no money trying to get rich quick.

Good on you for having a go.

So what did you lose between mates? 5k? 10k?

This guy is smart and knew exactly what I was trying to do.

I didn’t lose anything. I made and still have some. I bought them at $2,500. Go back through the thread and see.
