Hey - who here remembers Goat's Lambo?

Less than four years ago. It's hard to imagine where bitcoin will be in another 4 years.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=378936.0

USD 191,000
BTC 216.8

Same priced car can now be bought with about 27 BTC. Or on the flip side, that 216.8 BTC is now worth a cool 1.5 million USD.

This poser thinks he was the first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY86vH7z9qA

goat is canny ... he bought the lambo, new, and then sold it on when btc had tanked ... pretty sure he would have got back in near the lows.

A couple years ago I made a ThailandBitcoin subreddit. In the middle of a thread on bitcoin exchanges and the 'banning' of bitcoin in thailand, goat said:
"Yes I bought a Lambo with XBT but I recently sold it and bought more XBT. It was a pro XBT PR stunt that also helped me acquire more XBT"
(https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinThailand/comments/2ysqmh/exchanges/)

The thread mostly consisted of him and a thai exchange owner slinging crap at each other ... worth a read.
