If I got a satoshi for every time i heard a similar statement, Id have a bitcoin by now. Such a shame BurtW deleted his historic pirate profit thread.

Anyway, sure if you are lucky, flipping shares after an IPO can give you a nice short term profit. If you dont forget to cash out, and if you only bought a handful. However, since bitcoin securization took off,  there must have been close to 100 mining bonds/shares/contracts/cooperatives/units/whatever listed on all the exchanges. Someone correct me if Im wrong, but out of all of these, afaik exactly ZERO achieved a long term btc denominated positive ROI.

So yeah, I wanna play this game.
