i started buying drugs on silk road with btc in 2013, does that count?

[Anonymous No.20893269]

50. Started in March as I thought I might be furloughed and need weed to get through lockdown. It didn't happen and since then I've just put all my salary in bitcoin. Started selling and buying alts about a week ago but have since stopped as I realized that was stupid.

Not putting any more money in. Thinking of selling the lot fairly soon.

You learn to be very cautious with age.

i bought my first btc about 4-5 years ago, i was 23.

it's funny cus I woke up one morning scared/anxious about money and my future. I literally went on /biz/ and remembered bitcoin was a thing and then purchased one for 400. had no clue the wild ride i would be on. it literally helped me start my own business and not have to get a real job

I bought gold in December, btw. Not quite so keen on selling that.

I'm curious what your reasoning is. You've lived through a few market cycles, including the crypto slump were finally starting to recover from. Do you mean all-inning on us treasury bonds? In that case I'd disagree it's the best move but it's not unreasonable if your goal isn't making money. If you're staying in ETFs and shit why not kee' 5 or 10% in crypto? The market matures more every week and bitcoin has a good track record. I'm a little younger and married without kids so I have more risk tolerance but even if I were 50 I wouldn't completely exit all my crypto positions. You still have a good 20 to 40 years left, maybe more considering how crazy medicine is getting. If nothing else the fact you can't lose crypto funds or be prevented from using it how you want is attractive. I've had some bad experiences with PayPal, legacy banks, etc.. No harm but it was terribly frustrating and made me appreciate crypto more. Even gold can't offer anything close to this degree of freedom.

Why would I want to do that? Can I go shopping for recreational pharmaceuticals with it like btc? No. It seems more like a Ponzi. Just another shitcoin lifted by the rising tide of bitcoin.

With age you become more stubborn and outdated. Enjoy the crab ride.

I remember first dabbling in crypto when Bitcoin was still at $500. Then I didn't touch it for a few years.

[Anonymous No.20894409]

>>20893585
I sort of agree with you.. just I am convinced there's going to be a big stockmarket sell off later in the year which will take bitcoin back down with it. I want to be in all cash for that day. Traditionally it's an October event, although elections complicate matters.

I think I'll hold until mid September, and then start selling. The Jew in me doesn't like buying more as it's much more expensive than when I started.

That's not much of a sales pitch for link. Do you even know yourself what you've been buying?

[Anonymous No.20894868]

>>20894486
All I'm saying is that if you think that the value in crypto is that you can buy stuff with it, then you should reevaluate the whole crypto space.

Been using crypto to buy weed since quarantine. Started actually investing and holding it 3-4 days ago.

i've been browsing 4chan since i was 10, was browsing /g/ when i got into dogecoin at around 13, bought eth when it was shilled on /biz/ for 14$ around 14-15, held like a motherfucker for years, and only now just getting back into trading in 2020 (19 years old)

There are those who've started a decade or more later than you, whose portfolios could be less than 30k. At 19, you've got a long way to go.

crypto will probably get regulated in 5 years max, which means the days of x100 gains are over.
and desu, the future is really fucking bleak for zoomers, there are no optimist zoomers, most of us already know america is going down the shitter, crypto is the only option out of a lifetime of wageslaving and debt slavery for the average zoomer

Started in stocks at 19. Crypto wasn’t a thing yet back then. I somehow convinced my parents to let me ‘invest my entire savings and my brothers’. I was doing great until I found penny stocks then lost all the money in about a month’s time
