...
Probably doesn't feel as stupid as someone like me that sold hundreds in the 5-10 range.

Embarrassed

I sold plenty of coin below today's price. Feel like a boss--I made money. Our friend, the intrepid investor, lost it. Though technically, the money wasn't lost--it simply went to those who happened to be smarter than JayJuanGee.
In his case, @$1200, that meant "everyone."

You gotta work on your reading skills NOT Not pork. Yes I believe I bought 1.24 BTC at $1,200. So the fuck what.

Took one for the team. Good on you, bro!

I did NOT take any for the team. I had been intending to look at bitcoin in October and November 2013, and I did NOT get around to it until mid to late November. By the time I figured out how to invest and to get started, I went through Local Bitcoins for my first purchase. I realized that prices had been going up, so I decided to invest $30k into bitcoin over the first 6 months, and to start out with a $1,500 purchase. I had seen that bitcoin prices had gone up by 8x in the previous month and I had seen that BTC prices had gone up by more than 20x over the previous year, so I was fairly skeptical of its ability to continue to go up from $1200; however, I wanted to have a little bit of skin in the game, just in case BTC prices went up further.. which was NOT out of the question. Accordingly, I figured that I could continue to study bitcoin while I had some skin in the game.

Please, for the love of God... please tell me you haven't invested $30k+ starting from $1200. I might actually die of laughter.

Maybe you have to learn to absorb what you are reading?

I used to have that problem in high school.... all words just went in and I did NOT understand them. If you read the paragraph that you cited, then you will find (hopefully if you are NOT too imbecilian) find the answer to your question contained therein. I highlighted a portion to help you out because I realize that you are probably NOT very quick.

Note I stated "starting from" and I've also bolded the relevant section. It appears the only thing you are worse at than investing is parsing your own writing.

Whatever the fuck you said.. The answer is already contained in my previous post.. so it seems that you are just posting and attempting to restate the issue but to state it in confusing and/or convoluted manners... You seem to be going crazy in your apparent need to continue to make mountains out of molehills.
