I look at it more like digital gold. It’s something that you buy and hold for a long time in hopes of it appreciating or combating inflation.

Just don’t invest more than you are willing to lose.
Combating inflation with an instrument that swings 30% up and down in a few months. I'll stick with combatting inflation at a craps table, a lot more fun there.

I’ve made quite a bit also. I officially have every penny of my initial investment back, I have 14 btc miners, 2 litecoin. All paid for with profits. I also have a five figure cash gain sitting in my bank account. All that and I still have ALOT of LTC, and some BTC.

I’m currently grossing $425 / day on my miners.

Lolololololololooooollll

I would agree with about 10% of your statement. I think 75% of all the coins out there are fraudulent. This will come to an end soon.

Bitcoin is here to stay. It’s a store of value. The people who invested early got a huge reward. Heck, I invested 1 year ago and I’m doing just dandy.

That’s why it’s important to be smart about investments. If the whole crypto market evaporated tomorrow, I still made really good money. I feel sorry for the chumps that mortgaged their home and bought in the frenzy. There will be plenty of losers in this market, usually the idiots who have no business there anyway.

Only invest what you are willing to lose. This is the golden rule for all high risk- high reward investments.

Same with a ponzi scheme ,winning is the best advertising ,who knew it would be so easy ,for it to work alot of new information has to be presented fast and it then spreads by word of mouth ,get on board talk also ,it plays low then builds for false hope .Sounds similiar.

One year ago around 18K, today around 4k. I lost a lot less than that on the craps table and had fun doing so.
