That way, as pointed out, my money isn't as tied up with all these fees if something happens and I do need access to it. I'll still contribute some to my company 401k so that I get a little of that free money in their match.. If I'm still saving a good amount with maxing the Roth IRA and doing a 10% 401k contribution, I may move some of that savings into a traditional IRA.

I've rothed everything, shits only going to go up

When I say it's cheap, I mean it's cheap. To buy portions of it. I have a feeling it will hit 20k soon, eventually 50k, 100k, possibly even 1 mil. That's why it's "cheap". My coworker's boyfriend just bought 1 Bitcoin around $12,000 over the weekend.

It's now at $15,900.

Actually it juts broke $16,000 and is now $16,140. It went up $200 as I typed this post.

My mom gave me $100 to put in @ $4800. Now her investment is over $350.

My $5 referral bonus back in 2013 is now worth over $85.

Actually now it's $16,272.

I'm not throwing more in the pot, but I'm watching what I have thrown in grow tremendously.

I keep up with the amount of Plac Profit with a vehicle.
I was at a KTM, now I'm at a used NC Miata, 2009ish with 50k miles.

You can use it to buy a lot of things, there are kiosks that will do currency exchange as well in our local mall.
It's a currency of sorts, loosely defined.

rockchops · Thu Dec 07, 2017 10:24 am

I am 9x my initial investment this year now. Wish I had more to put in back then but I'll take it.

stripethree · Thu Dec 07, 2017 10:24 am

The .0249 BTC (~$20) I won in a poker game in 2011 is now worth $421. :notbad:

I should have bought more when my former colleague was evangelizing the hell out of it.

Melon · Thu Dec 07, 2017 10:25 am

$1 million? How? Why? What in the fuck makes you think that? It's a literally useless thing. The "value" is based solely on hype. It WILL crash. Now, sure, it could hit $20k or even $50k first, but it will crash and everyone in it will lose all of it. It has no real value whatsoever. Anyone that's making money on it, cool. You can make money on the Las Vegas strip too, but more people will lose ultimately. That's how gambling works, BTC is a gamble, not an investment.

I'd rather gamble in LV :doe:

, at least then I'm hammered when I lose it all.

D Griff · Thu Dec 07, 2017 10:34 am

And if you so strongly believe it's going to be worth $1 million, why aren't you buying one?

goIftdibrad · Thu Dec 07, 2017 10:42 am

i have so many thoughts on bit coin but not enough fucks available to type them out.

People have been telling me about it for years now but I'm too dumb to have done anything about it. I painted a car purple and drove it in circles instead.

And I'd rather gamble on crypto currencies.

I like the idea of them, they're fascinating, and If I make a few bucks along the way. :fuckyeah:

I'm not giving up on my traditional investments, not at all, this is more of a side show. Besides, can't goto the moon, if you're not on the rocket.
