100% no

>>23993895
he had 1 year..

>>23993895
He has probably made it already considering he was in the game from 2011. If he hasn’t then he is mega retarded

>>23993955
Probably waited forever for the drop back to 0.29 to make a profit.

>>23993955
He hasn't made it lol. He cashed out back then for good,.

He hasn't tweeted since 20 March this year. Did he kill himself after all?

>>23993895
you have no idea who lurks this board anon. a few of us were around in the earliest of days, and have nothing to show for it.

>>23993955
Lol the absolute state

>>23993895
Why would you sell 100% for something the early developers (satoshi and hal) expected to go to 10M? At least keep 1% just incase. These people deserve the rope.

>>23993895
I literally am him I had 250k LINK I sold at less than a dollar.

>>23994202
yup knew and owned btc in 2014, wrote a thesis about it, only bought drugs with it, never saw it as an asset, I was fucking 18 and my econ profs were saying it's a stupid bubble anyway.
NEVER
LISTEN
TO
BOOMERS.

>>23994323
was building the project from the shitty repo available in 2009 before btc ever had price. still wage cucking in 2020

>>23994266
how is this even possible

>>23994137
massive cope

>>23994254
nobody expected btc to ever go anywhere if we're being honest. not way back then. it was a digital currency experiment that was obviously flawed in it's ability to scale. the only people interested in it were developers who appreciated the novel approach to the double spend issue (the Hal Finnleys), and absolute retards who thought the world was going blow up (the Max Keisers)

>>23994177
he sounds like a smart guy honestly, money isn't everything. YOU fags will be the ones to make it and still an hero anyways though.

>>23993895
>sold btc at $3500
>sold eth at $89
>sold link at $4.9
it’s easy to regret in hindsight, but it was the right decision at the time

>>23993895
No
And also don't defend him, he's still coping saying that bitcoin is completely useless and he would've sold early anyways

had thousands of BTC back in the day, used them mostly to buy stuff after liberty reserve got shut down

doesn't bother me one bit

if i would have held on to them, i would have sold at $10 no questions asked, never would have held through to $20k+ - 0 chance

>>23994534
Why'd you sell link after missing so hard on btc and eth?

The question is
What do I go all in on now?
Share your wisdom.

>>23994599
I thought it would go down like usual, and I don’t tend to buy back higher than I sold because autism

>>23994137
Jezus what a faggot

>>23994534
its not called hindsight its called learning from your mistakes, there were people who knew whats to come with btc, then there were people who knew that eth will go over 1k when it was a couple dollars worth and now there are people who know link will be 1k eoy and will keep holding past $20

>>23994137
ofc hes a redditor the fucking faggot

>>23994744
Oh look at me look at me, I’m hardcore 4chan and I use gay slurs against rival messaging boards

Fuck off and grow up. This is /biz/, not /b/

>>23994137
seems like a chill dude, nothing he wrote is that faggoty t. 4chaneller who hates redditors

>>23994137
damn what a cope, that’s one hell of a good npc programming

>>23994780
go back

>>23994486
its an interesting aspect of the human mind that it can't properly understand history because it fills in the details it knows from the future.
so normies say "can you imagine selling btc at .30?!?!?!?!?!!?!" but they can't understand that it was considered beyond worthless back then. even the most retarded shitcoin has a perceived legitimacy to it that btc never enjoyed.
those of us who were around in early days understand and realize why we may've wound up selling much too early....

this is so brutal
he could be fucking models on a yacht with 25M cash
But he is instead posting on reddit pretending he doesnt want to suicide

>>23994912
plenty of people are loaded and suicide anyways so your logic is flawed.. money isn't everything

>>23994888
Sure bro

>>23994516
>"money isnt everything!"
>"but yea im going to spend the majority of my waking life working for a pittance and never doing anything else"
Hipocracy at its finest

>>23994177
>RDD
>SIA
my condolences...lmao

>>23994070
im still waiting

>>23993895
Didn't have this much but had mid xxx in BTC from the early faucet euphoria phase. It was literally like the UNI shit, people were getting this shit for free just by going to different faucets and shit, so no wonder I thought no way this gonna be worth much when everyone is getting it for fucking free. Might as well cash in.
I bought a graphics card back then, GTX 480, I still remember its name even today.

>>23994137
>The man who has no imagination has no wings.

>>23994137
good on him. all the people saying this is cope need to read stoic literature

>>23995716
>DUDE BE AN NPC LOL

>>23995263
>as an amazing thought experiment...imagine that bitcoin becomes the dominant payment system in use throughout the world
anon.... absolutely no one believed that was possible, certainly not Hal Finnley. it's a thought experiment. Hal woke up to the BTC price in like 2014 and was shocked to see it. there's interviews with him about this. in 2008, you couldn't just create digital currency and expect that it would have any value. we all knew that BTC couldn't scale, and its true that it can't. BTC failed as a digital currency experiement a long time ago and is now traded as a commondity... which was unexpected too.

>>23994137
Actually based. /biz/ will never understand

>>23994137
That's the biggest fucking cope I've ever seen.
>does it keep me up at night? Not at all
Yeah, ok.

>>23993895
Also, i still don't get why he sold the entire fucking stack. Did he really need the money that badly? I would've kept at least 100 of them.

>>23995243
This.
This guy might sound like he's coping but judging from his posts he is fairly well centred in life and doesn't stake everything on the acquisition of money.

Read about BTC first in 2011 and started mining with my trusty old GTX 570. Stopped after having a few BTC, because mining was a hassle, often freezing the system or destroying the GPU, high electricity costs, and all the BTC I got were worth a pittance.

Sold half of them for a grand total of less than a thousand dollars after the first pump to $20 per BTC. Had depressions ever since. Cashed in the leftover in December 2017 for almost half a million.

My networth is now about $1.25 million, but it makes me sick that I don't have many more millions. It's a gut-wrenching feeling. It fucking sucks.

>>23994888
yeah totally. not only was the idea of bitcoin in 2008-2009 not serious...it actually felt dangerous. I remember feeling like I needed to remain anonymous because "what are the odds that the feds see something like this and decide to bring charges against people for some dumb shit like 'conspiracy to overthrown the government'". you couldn't just mint currency in 2008!

>>23994888
Trips of truth. This fucking board is filled with dumbasses with their 20/20 hindsight.
>YOU DIDNT SELL LINK AT $20 WTF HAHAHAHA
People who think like this generally have less than $100k networth so i wont let it bother me too much.

>>23995727
case in point . this man has more insight to life than marcus aurelius. we are truly blessed to be in his presence.

>>23993955
I got into btc at 3$ and eth at 0.12$.

>I have in fact not made it.

>>23995852
at least you called the last top

>>23995803
some people just arent ruled by money

>>23994177
>rdd and sia

>>23996071
Lots of us aren't ruled by money, but guess what? You need money to live someplace nice, to eat the foods that you like, to do the fun things that you want to do, etc etc. I think you're confusing needing money to have a nice life and just wanting money out of pure greed. And by the way, he sold his stack for $510 and at the peak of the last bullrun, it would been worth just under $34 million. Kek

>>23994702
I'm going to tell you there's no way to know and you're going to use hindsight to try to construct an argument.

>>23994137
i am sure he regrets it, but now he has accepted it. seems fine for me. fine for him.

>>23993895
I remember the sharpie in pooper threads in /g/ back in 2010

I bought YFI at 10.5k and sold it at 12.5k a couple weeks ago. I'm still alive

>>23993895

>>23996241
im going to take my chance, $100 per link is enough for me to have a lifetime of abundance and never work again

>>23994137
>money is money
The difference would have been early retirement vs wagecucking daily and worry about student loans and credit

>>23994888
And understand that I would have spent 100$ on it and hold it as a novelty “lol item” and never sell
Why people don’t get it?

>>23994137
>>23993895
These stories honestly make me feel better. I knew about BTC since 2011. At that time I built my first real gaming PC, and I thought "hell, I should try using my new GPU to mine these buttcoin things". But I was a high-time-preference nigger and when I couldn't immediately figure out how to set up the mining software, I just moved on to other things.

These stories make me feel better because they remind me that even if I actually did go through with it and mine some bitcoin, I most likely would've sold them soon after,rather than waiting 6+ years. So it's all a wash.

>>23993895
Hell no.

>>23993895
You can say If I had done this, or bought that, or bought that, or waited with this all day about a million different things. Most people in the stock market owned Amazon when it was pennies and sold

>>23994137
>m-money doesn't matter
>i-i-it doesn't keep me up at night
>yes, I hold shitcoins hoping they will moon like btc did

>>23994137
>"really small amounts of some low market cap coins with technology that I like"
>"new interesting coins with cool technology"
>>23994177
>RDD and Sia
Oof.

>>23996450
this year alone we've seen a ton of shitcoins pull more than 100x after it was first shilled here. some have gone 1000x. if you didn't get rich this year, it's cause you didn't buy the right coins first time you heard about them (cause they were dumb), or because you sold too early. not sure why newfags think they'd have recognized btc as being something worth something 10 years ago.

Well
I had 10k in the bank after 5 years of being a wagie
now because of hyperinflation and illegal capital control laws favoring the corrupt political class, they robbed me of 85% worth of my hard earned money
I now have around 1.2k
god fucking damnit
I considered roping but fuck it if OP's pic related is still alive why should I

>>23994137
he actually did the right thing selling his BTC, he would just lose all his BTC once mtgox crashed, looking at his post i think he is that type of person who never bothered with setting up his own wallet at that time. Most were like him actually.
