>had a mt gox account in 2011>invested the only money I had in my name, $1000 into btc at $20>next two weeks my gox gets hacked, btc flash crashes to Pennies>could have bought, didn’t>end up forgetting about btc>mt gox goes belly up>file paper work to recover some btc>get some backboys I was so close to being obscenely rich but I’m not, the demiurge is real and it’s constantly fucking with me
How much did you get back?
>>61920670about 8
>>61920634>>61920679>Get about $800k from thin air>Wah, the universe is out to get me this isn't fair!kys famalam
>>61920679That's rough brother but at least you have 8. That's very solid. Hold on for dear life.
>>61920726humble bragging is a /biz/ tradition
>>61920634>18 months ago 200k>today nothing
>>61920726what does 800k even buy you these days. a slighty largely than average house in a boring mid western suburb?look its a nice lil chunk of change im not complaining its just if i played my cards slightly different id have genuine fuck you money
>be into algorand>someone on /biz/ posts shit token called tinytoken>buy like $20 worth>couple hours later, sell for $300, feels pretty good>go to work>come home>check price>mfw I could have sold for $90k
>>61920634Bought a bunch of SLCA in early 2020 around covid crash, sold super early because I was broke and didn't want to see number go down. Could have easily turned 100k-200k from a couple thousand investment. Being perpetually broke alters your mindset to he closer to that of a nigger, if I don't use it now I'll lose it mindset. Why plant the seed when I can eat it now while I'm hungry? Failure is the best teacher though, I'll get another chance.
>>61920842Nigger that amount of money, at my current bills, would be enough for me to retire. Even a tenth of that would give me some much needed breathing room to really start to take off financially.
>>61920634>Sold GME the weekend before the moonshot>Sold 400 shares of PLTR after tripling my investment to buy NVDA at 140Not make it amounts of gains but I could've been a couple years ahead financially if I hadn't sold as early as it did
>>61920842You never would have held for this long. You are lucky as fuck that mt gox was hacked and that they forced you to hold this long and that they ever gave you even a single dime back. You are lucky beyond words yet you have no gratitude.
I bought Bitcoin in 2017 and got an insane percentage return over the years, but the actual amount I put in was pretty low.
