I was never the slightest bit interested in crypto. I chose the old fashioned way....buying things distressed, fixed them up, rented and refinanced....then selling when possible and in the end taking out cash...I don't know when that is yet.

I wonder what happened. It’s been a lot more than six months. I have to wonder about something that requires that much electricity. Something strange going on with that.

Bit coin is up to $62,700 per coin and rising. My investment has gone up almost 500% in just a few years. Hope it keep going.

I was reading back through this thread and came across this gem from 2017, although it was closer to $60 a share then. Time for you to brag a little, how many did you buy and are you still holding?

Put in $2.5k (I think. This was a few years ago so I need to go look it up again) and still holding so I am up about $10k right now.

No bragging as it could all go to chyt tomorrow and it's all gone. I just took a chance and got lucky. if it hits $70k per coin, I might sell and it.will pay for my bathroom bed room remodel.
