What happened to the Jow Forums oldfags who mined bitcoin back in 2010? Are they all ultra wealthy oligarchs now?

they moved to bitcoin forum i mean Jow Forums

This. But I only had 0.1 bitcoins in it that I was given for doing a survey

mined in 2011 and did not sell in 2017

>coping this hard

this

very, very few people would have held their stash for 7 years. The first time it plummeted from 1k was supposed to have been the "big crash"

I lost my wallet lol
well at the time it wasn't worth that much
used the school computers for that.

Sold at $5. Eh, I was 13.

I invested in doge.

Still here, had about 10000 before the boom.
Lost it all to a drive crash.
Yes, I have considered necking myself.

Have you still got that drive?

I remember when bitcoins were $30 and Jow Forums was posting pictures of sharpies in the pooper for them.

I considered data recovery, but one of the platters literally exploded.

Glue it back together then

user, I wish.

The NSA would get it if it mattered.

They can literally use microscopes or some shit

They shot up a mosque in New Zealand.

I lost it all in the MtGox hack lmao

I cashed out at $1600/e cuz I thought it would fall, but it spiked up to fucking 20k in the next week

top lel. I had 3.5 bitcoins

I lost a wallet with 3.5 BTC. It cost me $80 USD at the time, I was going to buy drugs on silk road. Valued at $30,000 USD today.

I had 200btc on an usb stick on my keychain. Lost my keys in the ocean when fishing (and drunk) back when they were like 50$ so I didn't give a shit trying to dive for them. It's down thar with the barnacles me boyyos. Oh well, easy come easy go.

I'll keep that to myself in case the moonfags are right.

mtgox

I wish I was active on Jow Forums in 2010. There are videos about bitcoin as early as 2010. I wish I was paying attention to something else other than cartoons, shitposting and vidya.

no. it did not spike from 1600 -> 20k in 1 week fucking retard

How many whales around now aren't just various glowniggers and financial institutions?

I'm glad all I lost was a wallet with like 1 LTC

I met some fucking neckbeard that told me all about how he had a bitcoin farm and shit a few years back. Last time I saw him he didn't look any wealthier

Shit happens.
Sometimes, you almost make it, but never do.
Adapt and continue.

>buttcoin
Off to with you scammers.

Oh right, I also got a wallet with like 20000 HOT I can't access because it's tied to a coinbase account and it's impossible to use it because it doesn't support ERC-20 tokens

So that's 50 bucks locked away that I would love to have right now, but what can you do

A friend wants me to invest a bit in cryptocurrency but I have no clue if it is stable, valuable or not. Like, is it worth the case ?

It's not stable and it's not worth it.

> having to live with the fact you spent around 2.3m on RuneScape gold. I just tell myself I would have sold at 100

Attached: cbb.jpg (1440x1291, 193K)

Why ?

It's not worth it because it's not stable.

>It's not worth it because it's not stable.
I quite wanted some argument but alright

the best argument is just don't invest into shit you don't understand, at that point you have better odds at the casino

there is value in crypto but knowing which crypto has potential at which time requires a lot of inside / technical knowledge, if you're not part of that group you're a sheep in the slaughterhouse because 99% of crypto is garbage, and the other 1% is overvalued 50% of the time

crypto is a fucking meme and it has ruined people. it's a ponzi scheme combined with gambling.

realistically, they probably lost everything in Mt Gox, or sold at $300 or so
every single person on Jow Forums claiming they made it big off BTC is a liar

I know a guy who cashed out at 236 BTC at 3.6k. He mined it with shitty PCs back in 2012.

He literally went to Southeast Asia and fucked everything. Now lives in Indonesia in a nice apartment and owns a small company.

And probably is reading this: i know you fucked children you sicko

So what? Morality is subjective.

there is no intrinsic value to crypto as the price is entirely based on speculation. It's about equal to gambling your money.

Erm. What? I've worked in IT my whole life and never seen shattered disc apart from retarded behaviour. Calling BS

larp

99% + 1% + 50% = 150% returns INVEST NOW

samefag. why would you lie on the internet?

>Does anyone have that one screencap of a guy buying a pizza with a shitload of bitcoins?
he was on 60 Minutes like 2 weeks ago.
Dude traded BTC for pizza for him and his kids. Current market value: $87 million.

cbsnews.com/news/the-story-behind-bitcoin-pizza-day-2019-05-22/

Correction: he traded 100,000 BTC - not 10,000.
So $870 million for pizza.

Donated all mine (~30) when it was just 600 bucks. Didn't expect the shit to rise so far a few years later.

Jesus Christ
I'm a faggot who enjoys getting dicked but at least I'm not you

Nice try, kelpie. Youre gonna have to be more creative than that to trick me

I did the same. Now I'm a 23 years faggot poor af.

forgot about them and then lost the computer. think about killing myself every day now.

Same. Except replace 'sold' with 'used it to buy a small cache of weird drugs'. Now both are gone and I have to keep working. Feels bad man.

No shit? I had that happen in 2007 with a Western Digital Green drive harvested from an old external. Still have no fucking idea what caused it, just heard a revving, a loud BANG, and the drive was toasted.

Haven't ever seen it happen since. How the fuck fast would the drive have to spin to shatter an aluminium platter?

When the value goes up, you'd be a retard to sell it because it's increasing in value. When it goes down, that's the worst time to sell it because it will bounce back up again. In the end, you never sell it.

t. invested £850, turned it into £2000 in three months, watched it go down to £800, refused to cash out on a loss, and now it's £850 again so clearly it's climbing and I shouldn't sell now

Sold all when 1 BTC = 100 GBP. Still got huge gains compared to electric cost, not too bothered.

desu tho, the prices were too fucking crazy at the time, you couldn't predict that you could buy a house with 5BTC at the time, I couldn't even predict if I could buy some drugs the other day.

Nah they all sold too soon.

This. Lost about 180btc summer of 2011.

yeah it did you dipshit

how is it even possible to make this much money and not the fucked in the ass by your country's renevue agency?

Don't report it.
In the US at least, the IRS is so horribly understaffed that they don't have the resources to conduct proper investigations.
Unless you start spending that money on crazy expensive houses, cars, boats, or you suddenly deposit tens-of-thousands of dollars into a single bank account, the IRS would be none the wiser.
