The only people on here that have any chance at making REAL money are the first miners who basically got their coins for pennies. They know who they are and they are smart. They are the ones pimping and hyping the shit out of bitcoins. I have been rebuffed for used stocks as an example but it applies to bitcoins. The people who have gotten in on the big companies and made their millions and millions are the ones who got in for next to nothing. Coke, microsoft, apple etc the list goes on. Do you think an ordinary joe is going to get rich on Apple stock now? They missed the boat. Opportunities come around few times in a persons life and right now at $200 the boat is gone. even at $100 or $50 the boat is GONE! UNLESS you have a ton of money to begin with and my point is then mute. Can you imagine having 10000 bitcoins and you paid $100 in electricity to get them? Now you have people scraping $1000 together to buy 5 coins. Do you see what I mean?

Now I have a question for the naysayers. Tell me an investment past or present(not a stock) that costs $200 or less that anyone could buy that made that person a millionaire. The only caveat is that the investment had/has to be a fully disseminated idea that the world knows/knew about. So in other words the person got in AFTER THE FACT and made millions off of a $200 investment.

Single $200 investment? Idk about that but the forex market in general.
