Nobody wanted to buy it for either dollars or bitcoin. I tried believe me. It was nearly impossible to sell for bitcoin because I had to get 3 lawyers, and the real estate lady (originally it was a private sale), and it had to be $1 plus the bitcoin, as bitcoin are not legal tender in Canada so can't be used as 'consideration' in financial transactions. By the time all the smoke cleared I got 648 btc. But if it is going to $10/$100K per coin like the Winkle guys are saying and many others, then I am set for life regardless of how many I got

Look, the article says you are still quite young so I guess it is more reasonable to take greater risks (if you don't have a family to look after etc.) because you'll have time to recover if things don't work out.

One can read the enthusiasm out of your writing but don't make the mistake of building your future hopes and dreams on a gamble.
Either way good luck to you. (And do yourself the favor and don't speculate with all your new bitcoin wealth.)

It only looks like a gamble if you don't understand the fundamentals.

Good luck, and keep your keys safe.

I agree, if you legitimately think we gonna go around and use paper money, the only thing which matters, like some fucking monkeys in a fully tecnhological society in 2050 you are largely mistaken

bitcoin might not be it but it definately can fill money's purpose
