Why do I get the feeling that everyone on this thread is an obsessive gambler, but no one ever wants to be truly wealthy?
For all the fkn around with bitcoin you guys do day trading (and mostly losing), I could have pointed you to at least 5 stocks that in 2014 would have doubled your money going long and holding.
where were you in 2010 genius?
Don't you know?
Bitcoin started at $1200 and has been falling ever since.
It's been a one-way trip south.

In 2010 I was definitely not in the know about bitcoin (didn't find out until 2013). But had I known, I would have been excited and crazy enough to mail a check to MtGox from the US, praying to get my btc back. I wish I had known about it then.
But I'm just saying that, while we've all had fun watching Bitcoin fall in price over the last 15 months, I've had two stocks in my portfolio that have nearly doubled (eg., DIS, KR). So bitcoin isn't the only "ride to moon" out there.
