It wouldn’t be a cult without proselytizing, would it?
somebody once offered me 20 bitcoins in exchange for my username on irc
i turned him down because Bitcoin was worthless
The most I ever had at once was one entire bitcoin. I got it back when it was at $300 and used it to buy weed for the first few times in my life.
It must suck to think about the what-ifs in situations like these, especially yours with 20 entire bitcoins. How early on was that, btw? By worthless, do you mean all the way back when they were worth maybe a few cents to a couple dollars?
Regardless, when you really think about it, it doesn’t even matter. Say you took the 20 bitcoins. They would initially just be some kind of novelty to you, and you’d store it on your PC and not think about it for a while. But one day you’d find out your Bitcoins that were worth a couple dollars before are now worth $20 each. Wow, amazing! Better cash out before this bubble bursts. Just got lucky and made a few hundred bucks!
There is just no conceivable scenario where any sane person continues to hold onto them until they’re a millionaire.
yeah it’s crazy to think about it… at one point that would’ve been worth over 100k
at the time it was offered Bitcoin was worth around $.05
I honestly never thought it would be worth more than that
but when i think about it i don’t get bothered too much because i imagine i probably would’ve lost them before they were worth anything substantial since i used to format my computer several times a year without ever backing anything up, and beyond that, if i had them and they were worth $100 or something I likely would’ve sold them all at that low price and then I’d really be kicking myself
