If you bought $0.25 before it was cool, you probably have over $1000 in bitcoin (like me) by now.
I never knew you could buy so much with bitcoin
I bought $11,000 USD worth of BTC at $7. I sure wish I had held on to it.
You think you feel bad? I _did_ buy some at $4. 250BTC. Now worth around $120k. Sold at $23.
I sold a couple of Bitcoins years ago at 200$ because I thought it wouldn’t bounce back. Guess I keep what’s left until Bitcoin hits a million.
Quite a while ago (maybe 4-5 years ago). I actually didn't buy them, I mined them. In fact I had totally forgotten about it until I saw a news article stating BTC had shot up to $1000+.>Why are you glad about that?Well, I don't expect it to raise back to USD$1000+ any time soon (it's ~$740 now).
I have 1BTC that I got from selling an album of music I made, back when a bitcoin was worth $4.
I lost a Bitcoin wallet with ~50BTC back when it was priced at pennies. I was so young then. Oh well.
Someone (actually one of the biggest bitcoin mining equipment developer) donated me 10BTC back when they were about $1000 in total.I tried to sell them but luckily almost got scammed, bank refused transaction and I didn't lose much. So i ended up keeping 8 BTC still :)
Heh I bought at $20 and sold at $1000. It was only 1 BTC. I bought I think 2 or 3 and mined a bit too but back then exchanges got hacked all the time. Honestly I do not feel bad. Every pizza I bought could have been tens of thousands too if I knew how BTC would turn out (or Nvidia or Netflix or the outcome of any major sporting event, etc.). I made a profit and it helped at the time. I am not sore about it because I also do not know how many dumb investments I passed up that would have just lost
