Same. I had 40k BTC from mining and just deleted because this is all just fake and gay. Weight of my shoulders desu

a lot of the early BTC is gone forever. people act like they would have seen it as digital gold if only someone told them about it.... it was worthless at the time. literally without worth.

I heard about BTC in march 2013 when it broke the prior 2011 ATH. Bought in May with my years' tax return. You're just a small minded faggot who can't see the forest for the trees

>bitcoin is digital gold, but for example gold is physical bitcoin
You were doing so well.

You really are hitting levels of dunning kruger that are usually only found on /reddit/, blockchain is a solution to a single problem, that problem is double spend. Double spend problem being solved allows for completely digital currencies like bitcoin. Bitcoin is now worth billions. It was a success. A glowing success. Going forward absolutely no one knows what will happen next. Intelligence isn't like a crystal ball, it's more like forecasting the weather. You take into account lots of factors using a broad knowledge base.
Was Facebook an intelligent play? No one knew how big it would be, or that it wouldn't get replaced by another social media network.
Was Google a smart play? Lots of 'experts' were saying the internet was stupid back when it started out.
Etc. etc. You cannot set an objective standard for intelligent investment, personally I say any investment where the possible upside is in your favour and success is at least partially based on execution would qualify as skill/intelligence investing. See true gambling is when the outcome is TOTALLY independent of the execution, how you roll the dice is irrelevant. In this case bitcoin could only have succeeded if the technology (Proof of Work) actually solved the double spend problem. So it set out with a goal and fulfilled that goal, adoption is a variable that no one can fully predict. But saying BTC is pure gamble is just cope. Pure gambling is literally roulette because it requires 0 (zero) knowledge. Whereas BTC required knowing enough about cryptography to know how Proof of Work works.

I was trying to illustrate that creative thinking requires laterality. Question your assumptions to avoid status quo biases. So instead of making bitcoin analogous to a familiar object, try to reframe your mind to treat bitcoin as the 'familiar object', essentially invert your perspective.

congratulations, you are so smart to have seen the price of BTC as something that would go up....when it was trading on exchanges and going up. I'm talking about BTC before it was being traded retard. you're not special. i've been in this for a long time. I know it's a ponzi. I don't feel stupid for writing it off the first time I heard about it.

You had literally nothing to lose by literally letting your BTC sit in your wallet at that point. You couldn't even sell it like you said so why not just leave it in your wallet and forget about it? The risk reward has always been drastically asymmetric from day 1
Jason Rivera
bullshit. solving the double spend solved one hurdle in creating a completely digital currency, but the solution can not scale. it's not a proper solution if it creates larger problems that it can't overcome.
