Yeah dont worry mate. Just try invest when the market bottoms out in the next year or 6 months. You cant look back. I started with 3000 btc I bought for 3k USD back in 2012. All the hype never really happened and I was not into trading back then nor did btc have real charts to look at. I then managed to get around 600 btc saved in mtgox - and yep - it all got taken by MK the ultra D. The whole industry is so scammy. Then compliance now blocks all you funds if kept on an exchange. I dont ever hold I always sell at good prices and wait to get back in. I was such a believer back then but now if I'm honest I think the NSA's sha256 being used in btc is a big giveaway. CDBC would never be implementable unless crypto/btc came first. I think crypto is a plan to get everyone working digital and then the central banks can enforce CDBC on all exchanges. Compliance and KYC of crypto is ten times worse than a strict bank. Its easier to pay 30k cash in a bank then it is to deal with the BS Kraken and other exchanges ask for these days. So I am also in my own way fed up of bitcoin. Wish I had just put away 3000 btc and left it for ten years but who knew? Every up swing you get the hype boys like Keiser the CIA man manipulating demand and the price - calling 500k - it then dumps.
Hope you enjoyed my rant. Best of luck. Now you know to get in cheap and get out when prices are crazy high.

Wow... You seem to be deluded goldrushed2.

If what you are saying happens to be true, then you surely have some interesting facts, but it seems like you have a decently BIG ass ego, too.. .and you also seem to have some weird views of the world.. sure the world is screwed up in a lot of ways, but it seems to me that on an individual level we should be attempting to be figuring out ways to deal with such matters and to provide more options to ourselves rather than just moaning about various negative aspects of the world.. yeah.. I agree some of the negative aspects are quite irritating, frustrating and unfair many times too..

By the way having a strong ego can be dangerous for investing whether BTC or otherwise, and also dangerous when attempting to share ideas about these kinds of topics with others in a forum like this... - if you happen to actually be interested in sharing any more of your matters and views as they might relate to this thread.

Let me just point out that you had recommended getting in and out of bitcoin, but also you recognize that you had fucked up pretty BIGGEDly by getting out of all of your BTC? That getting in and out of bitcoin approach does not seem to have worked out too well for you. unless there is some angle that you are not mentioning.. such as that you still hold some of your coins perhaps? but from your post, I got the sense that you are a bit of a bridge burner and you do not like to hold on to things, even if they might have future value.. Cry

..

Also, if you really had 600 coins on Gox at the time of their implosion in February 2014 and if you did not sell your claims to the various scalpers (or whatever those guys would be called?), your 600 coins would likely be a shit-ton of value right now, even if the GOX claims are likely ONLY anticipated to pay out around 15% or so?

I cannot recall exactly what the latest anticipated payout for the GOX coins.. but the fact that you did not mention it, makes me suspect that you no longer hold the claims to those coins even though.. 600 coins in 2014 would have been around $360k ($600 per coin) on the fair market value right before the GOX implosion down to around $200 (which still would have been $120k) or whatever stupid price that MTGOX's exchange rate was stuck at (I seem to recall $190 for some reason) when they announced they were closing. and then never to reopen.. .but even if you were able to get 15% of 600 BTC, that would be 90 BTC (which would be nearly $2 million at today's BTC prices).

I doubt that you still have claims to 600 BTC on MTGOX, since even if what you had said was true, from my little bit of information about you from your post here, you seem to be disinclined to HODLing onto anything.. and probably you flunked the marshmallow test too, right? Cheesy

Even if I sound confrontational goldrushed2, I do not mean to be confrontational towards you in any kind of personal way, except to really attempt to highlight some of the factual dissonance contained within your post, which to some extent causes me to wonder if you have even reflected upon the contents of the factual representations of your own post? (not that I am trying to psychologically analyze you)

My friend you are a btc fanboy obviously and got hurt feelings. I am not emotional but thanks for yours. Any decent asset you hold for 20 years is likely to go up in price. I did not get into too much detail was just trying to tell the guy who posted we all have had our issues. And correct I sold my Gox claim. And trade for an investment company - and no I dont believe anyones hype or cult following of crypto. Unlike yourself - cant even spell holding. Markets have cycles.
