You made great point that physical gold is only true form of gold and things like digital or paper gold are just stand ins that can make it look like there is more gold than there really is problem that even affected gold past. This is different from Bitcoin which is completely digital making it easy to check send and store without needing physical place or third party to hold it for you. While both gold and Bitcoin can have other products that try to control their price Bitcoin nature makes it harder to manipulate in same ways as gold showing
it might be better option than both gold and regular money.Bitcoin is more than 10x (if not 1,000x) better than both gold and dollars (and other fiat currencies)
As I check Bitcoin's price and see that it has surged to another ALL TIME HIGH, I feel both happy and SAD.
Why?
Because the more it surges higher and higher from here, the higher possibility that we may never have the opportunity to buy Bitcoin below $100,000 again.
My next major Bitcoin purchase will be below $100,000 IF we are lucky to see it there again.
You should have regrets for waiting rather than buying, yet of course, when to wait and when to buy are personal choices.. and hopefully you were not sitting on too much cash waiting for a dip that did not end up happening.
Haha. Ser, I have ZERO regrets because my major purchase for HODLing was made when Bitcoin was still under $5,000. My post was more of making a point that having another chance of buying Bitcoin below $100,000 is a BIG opportunity, especially for those who haven't actually started their Bitcoin journey.
But again if we're lucky to see another crash below $100,000, everyone should be VERY bullish for the opportunity.
Sure it has all worked out for you, yet when you first registered on the forum in May 2016, bitcoin was right around $420, and it spent much of the remainder of 2016 between $500 and $700.. but instead, you waited to buy bitcoin until it went up to $19,666 in 2017 and then it crashed down to $3,124 in 2018, and then when it was recovering in April/May-ish of 2019, you finally decided to get started...nearly 3 years after you registered on the forum.
Even though I don't know your details, you still seem to be blinded by your own rationalizing that it is better to buy bitcoin at 10x higher prices because you were buying on a dip. And, I went through the numbers previously, so it is not like I need to go through the numbers again, right?
