You think this kid has the taste to be driving an Alpha Romeo?

He's probably in a mental ward at some hospital in Texas.

This is the exact reason why i think that pretty much none of the people here are "elite, wealthy gentlemen" lol this is literally the epitome of idiocy and that alone just shows that you are not "elite".

Everyone on this forum knew Atlas back then. He used to hang out on the SomethingAwful forum too. You're right though, there are no wealthy elite here, only sheep waiting to be fleeced.

OP deleted his account it seems, probably because he is so rich now that he doesn't want to post on forums anymore and is enjoying his new found wealth.

Hopefully we can be like OP in a couple of years. HODL.

He was a 16 year old self proclaimed nihilist kid from Texas with mental problems, abused by his parents, that tried to commit suicide and posted about it on this forum.

Speak for yourself, Bitcoin made a lot of money for a lot of people who I know since back when btc were in single digits, myself included....

On the flip side, I know people who invested in scams and ponzis and even lost their private keys and lost what would be considered fortunes today through sheer carelessness...

Take your pick.... Most of the old faces I knew are gone or using different accounts now but scores of millionaires were made in 2013 and even more will be made in 2016....

This is gentlemen.... Wink

You're one of the ultra rare lucky ones. Talk to the thousands of people with money in Mt Gox, Bitinstant, ButterflyLabs, Gaw Miners, MyBitcoin, Pirates Ponzi, Bitcoinica, Bitscalper, Inputs.IO, Vicurex, Cryptorush, TradeHill, CryptoXChange, GBL, Just Dice, Bitcoin Rain, The Silk Road Seizure, Sheep Marketplace, BS&T, PicoStocks, Bitfloor, Basic Mining, Mintpal and many, many others.

Bitcoin is NOT a Ponzi, but it easily facilitates Ponzi's. Bitcoin is NOT a scam, but it makes scamming easier for the average non-professional scammer. Bitcoin is NOT illegal and NOT anonymous, but it facilitates hidden illegal businesses on the dark web. Automobiles are NOT dangerous and do NOT kill people, but they facilitate the deaths of 40,000 stupid inexperienced drivers every year in just one country alone. You might say, but we need cars. True some people have no other way to travel, but we don't need Bitcoin because everyone has another way to spend their money.

You're one of the ultra rare lucky ones. Talk to the thousands of people...
It is possible that at least ~20 to 35% of early Bitcoin investors are still wealthy, since some had the common sense to securely stash away a nice amount for the long haul.

Security in the early days was probably an interesting topic:
"Malware to steal wallets, LOL!!! Why would anyone bother to steal Bitcoins..."
