yeah, I'm not that mad that I sold the 1 bitcoin I had purchased at $350-400 for $1000ish (and the .1 left over when it was $17k) - I sure as fuck would have sold it at small multiples of that $1k well before it peaked.

Yeah, this is a really important lesson to learn before hindsight-bashing one's investment decisions -- even where you could have held on longer, it's very unlikely that you would have held on long enough, because at the time you had no way to know a crash wasn't around the corner.

helps that I was buying to use it coughcough and didn't so the increase in value was just a bonus all around

yeah apparently bitcoin is something called "parabolic" and it's only at the start of the curve... my nephew told me that in 25 years my 0.0001 bitcoins will be worth several hundred thousand dollars - very exciting!

congrats, you've released unknown megatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to literally reinvent the dollar, except it can only be used in an extremely limited set of outlets to acquire goods like experimental pharmaceuticals, weapons-grade plutonium and live human children

Offset is constantly talking about money, either his plans to make or to spend it. He loves to floss, but he really loves being able to take care of his family. "I want to have generational money," he says. "I got three kids, bro. I need all my kids to be educated and wealthy." His children are eight, two and two. No, the two-year-olds aren't twins. "I don't want to be one of those rappers who had it but right now they be on a TV show to keep them going," Offset says. "I would rather be out the scene, getting my money on Bitcoin."Oh, how much do you have in Bitcoin now?"I don't like to discuss my investments."
Oh, how much do you have in Bitcoin now?
"I don't like to discuss my investments."

The price seems basically inexplicable to me atm. Even the price manipulation thesis is hard to believe -- with other cryptos sure but bitcoin seems to big and widespread for the price to be propped up in this kind of sustained way. Has to just be hype and true believers I guess.

there goes my pension
Three blockchain experts linked to a bizarre cryptocurrency startup that sought to raise $6.5 million before vanishing have told Business Insider that they are victims of identity theft and have nothing to do with the company.The startup, called Prodeum, had billed itself as developing a system to use blockchain technology for agricultural commodities, like fruits and vegetables. But Prodeum caused waves online Sunday evening after trying to sell tokens to investors through a risky fundraising technique and subsequently disappearing from the web, leaving only the word "penis" on its homepage.
