John McAfee is using some sort of black magic to try to justify not eating his own dick.
Seriously wtf is wrong with people? How have all the rubes willing to buy at that price not lost all of their money already? Also interesting that this coincides with Tesla's boom, which is also famously volatile.

Yeah, I remember giving advice to a few people with extra cash to buy $100-1000 worth of bitcoin and lock it away on a thumb drive in a safe deposit box and never think about it again until you're forced to. I was like 15 so no one took me seriously, but I got some texts when it got $20k last year from people kicking themselves that they didn't do exactly what I said

Nothing lol
I was one click away from buying $400 worth at $3 USD. It's rough but I know I would have 100% sold at like 1k.

A long ass time ago I was reading about bitcoin and it sounded interesting so I set up a Coinbase account. Back then they gave you one cent in Bitcoin just for making an account. I don't know what happened, I think I couldn't figure out how to add funds or something so I didn't buy anything. Several years later when Bitcoin was blowing up again I decided to buy some. I signed into that old account and my one cent was fifteen cents. That was pretty early on still, it's worth more now. I always wonder what would have happened if I had figured out how to buy some back then lol.
Around the last peak of the price of Bitcoin, a buddy of mine found 3 Bitcoin in a wallet on an old laptop he hadn’t opened for years. He’d mined them on work computers after hours.
He then sold them and used the proceeds to buy a disused warehouse in Greece to live in...I’m both envious and amazed that by pure luck and by “expropriating” electricity from his employer he managed to do that. And also aghast that this is even a chain of events that is possible.
same. my coinbase transaction history from back when bitcoin was fresh is extremely depressing to look at. oh well, i was gonna buy drugs anyways, was never going to invest in bitcoin. i was more of a monero person if were to invest but i didn't and that one didn't even work out, so i try to not let this shit bother me. but it is sad to look at sometimes
Don't feel too bad man. I knew about Bitcoin before it had any value at all. I mean, this was before the famous trade where a guy gave 10k Bitcoin for a pizza. I decided to figure out how to mine them (which was very easy to do at the time), but ran into some annoyances with creating a dual boot so I could run mining software on Linux.
This is now a funny story my friends tell strangers at parties every time Bitcoin is brought up. My only solace is knowing I never would've held onto it past 100$ unless I managed to forget I had it for years.
