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.

The bit coincidence market has lost its collective mind. Previous high was somewhere around $75k per coin and that was over a year ago i think. I look today...stuff is trading at $80k and still shooting upwards. My initial.investment has gone up 400% in 3 1/2 years.

Just my opinion, but if it were me I'd take some off the table and play with the houses money....

We are planning on pulling some out (trying g to figure out how much capital gains will cost) to help with our Europe trip costs.

When the crypto corrects at some point, I plan on reinvesting. I have had bit coin since 2018 and it had out performed (500% return) every other investments by a huge margin. The volatility is nuts but the principal is not something I'll miss.
