Hate to break it to you, but we're all gambling on the future of bitcoin. It could crash to $1 tomorrow on some type of devastating news, and a lot of people would lose a lot of money.
Not true, I have mined/earned all my
BTC.
I lose nothing if
BTC plummets.
I use the electricity that comes free with my rent.
I hope
BTC flourishes into a useable currency,
but if it doesn't I will not lose anything.
There's something to be said of the opportunity cost. I'm not saying this will necessarily happen, but it's definitely a possibility and anyone who holds and holds without ever selling would in essence "lose" money in such a case. Not criticizing your strategy, but just saying it could happen and we're all essentially gambling on the future of bitcoin.
