Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen.

I am not only holding my btc, but also mine them using cloud mining, and I started buying more since the price is very low. I believe that the price will sky rocket once bitcoin get international recognition and more people start using it. This will take time, maybe 10 years, but it will happen and when it does we (the first investors) will be the richest people. Wink

If it is going to take 10 years to become the "new wealthy elite, gentlemen," then those of us aspiring for such status better have some decent will power and patience to be able to hold onto our coins for such an extended span of time.

These things tend to happen gradually. It will not take 10 years.

2-3 years TOPS, probably more like 1 year.

I think that is a reasonable amount of time to wait to be rich

Also gives you time to stock up on as many BTC as possible

Why do you guys want to be super rich so badly? What's the big deal? This is a serious question, could you guys answer why you want to be part of a wealthy elite? Don't you know the cons of being rich?

Wealth is power. I've never been rich, but I've been pretty well off, and I've been dirt poor and homeless. All have their good and bad points, but the good points of being wealthy outweigh the bad, because of the personal power you can wield. If you want to effect change as a poor boy, you have only your wit and voice. As a rich man, you have the ability to amplify that wit and voice with a great many things.

To me, wealth is not in itself a worthy goal, it's a measure of success in things that matter much more to me. Not the only measure by any means. But if I could achieve sufficient self sustaining wealth to not worry about what my family will eat next week, or next decade, I would have far more time for other ventures. I am not the guy who would win powrball and go bankrupt a year later Cheesy
