Here is a video of a guy who bought Toyota Prius back in 2013 with 1000 BTC. If you could have waited for a bit, specially in 2017, we could have been a Lambo. Although in the video you will see the Prius side by side with his Lambo so I think this guy really did make a lot of money in bitcoin in 2017 as well. He also talk about the lessons he learn from investing in bitcoin. Grin

Well, also the guy who bought two pizzas with 10,000 bitcoin back in 2010 could have said the same thing "If I had waited 2017..."!!! Wink

But if everyone waits for a future increase in the price of bitcoin, instead of using it to buy things, no one will ever use bitcoin and everyone will just sit and wait to gain more...

Thats'a real expensive Prius! I would not spend such amount of BTCs because money is still a matter to me, I am not a damn rich like that guy!!

But that guy says that all his money is in Bitcoin so obviously he doesn't have any choices but tho used it that time and buy a car that he needed because he constantly travel for conferences so I guess he didn't regret, but very proud just by looking at the customized plate.

There's been a lot of news in the past where they are using Bitcoin to buy expensive stuff. I'm sure they will hold if only they knew that Bitcoin would pump so much in 2017. No one knows what will happen. I'm amazed on this guy though because he clearly is an early adopter.

Yes, you can say that he is an adopter and I'm sure he still has a lot of bitcoin up to this day. And I don't think that he is a going to hold on it though because he clearly stated that all his money is on Bitcoin.

Remember he had to make decisions with only the information he got at the time. He seem to regret nothing, for him it was just a normal purchase and when compared to how little he invested, he can even consider the car "free".

Of course hodlers would just see this as more confirmation to hold on to their stash but still, what is money for but for spending (and investing), right?

This story would have been different had bitcoin crashed and the headline would be "Guy stuck with thousands of useless fad token".

There is no right or wrong time to sell or purchase with your bitcoin. No one can actually predict the exact time the cryptocurrency market will experience lambo.

You are only making it worst for him to accept the fact, I hope he doesn't read your post. Who knows whatever he will be doing this time of the day. Every one makes mistakes, even I myself have regret the fact that I sold my coins early. So we just have to accept the truth and get over with it.

have you watched the entire video or even the last part of it? he said he had no regrets because from what i understood, he used his profit from a loan to buy his car. the $10-loan went up to $22 worth of money (maybe per coin he invested, he didn't mention how much he invested in total), so essentially, he got it for free.

Most Expensive Prius indeed Grin

but there is no loss and he didn't know, no one knows that bitcoin will rise up to $19k last 2017. But with that amount he could really bought a better one today but that car is nice and he needed it. There is a question in my mind like what if bitcoin will really reach $50k or higher in the future? I will surely regret if I won't buy now.

There is trouble abrewing

why does it have to be considered "most expensive"? the dude had money and spent his money for a vehicle that he needed to use to go around. that is not something to regret, that is what "money" is made for. you are not supposed to hoard money!
not to mention that it was not all the money he had in the world so there is nothing to worry about when it comes to "missing out". he still had more money.
* money in this context means bitcoin

Really interesting & inspiring. I feel confident that one day i'll buy my first car with Bitcoin. Though i don't have much Bitcoin, i am waiting for an increase in the rate of BTC. That might take 2/3 years but i'll wait. I believe in hope.

That should bring an end to those memes asking 'when fiat panda' as it costs around 1000 bitcoins Cheesy

Good to see some real world purchases even if it does seem overpriced

Frankly speaking, Bitcoin potentials has been unleashed as i have seen for the very first time that Bitcoin deploys it powers of real world usability. Hope that Bitcoin keep this relationship between before and after the halving 2020. When this happen then i will belong to the set that will equally testify about Bitcoin usability.

I have to spend mine today in order to eat, knowing perfectly well that tomorrow those bitcoin could have many times their current purchasing power. It is a shame i had to be born in a country taken and destroyed by socialism. If i ever get a decent job again when the economy recovers after socialists get kicked out, I'll be able to start my bitcoin savings. But i'm afraid it might be too late...

For those who can manage to have bitcoin savings, good for them. In freedom you can choose to not live in luxury and save for tomorrow, under oppression you are left no choice...

I’ve only see here the word delayed gratification, only if he hold that bitcoin for sure he can earn more. Well, it looks like he’s already rich and for sure bitcoin help him a lot to achieve all of these. Now, I’m more willing to hold my bitcoin for many more years because I think the price will still go high in the next 4years.

I realize that Bitcoin is like a gold mine for hardworking diggers. Bitcoin once achieved the price of $ 20,000 which is a considerable price. Talented investors always know how to make their investments worth increasing every day as a miracle.

He made a conscious decision to sell his coins to purchase a car and he will not sell those at that time if he was not on profit in the first place, there is nothing for him to cry about at a later stage as everyone had an idea that the price will increase from those situation in ten years time, that is the case with the first ever deal for a pizza too, considering that it will be the most expensive items ever purchased in the world if you compare it to the all time high valuation.

Where is my ring of blades...

to me this proves two things:
1. the huge potential of bitcoin and how only a small portion of that potential has been reached so far. this growth only proves that despite all the naysayers and FUD spreaders bitcoin continues rising and is not going to stop until it reaches mass adoption.
2. in earlier years the percentage of people who truly understood bitcoin and its purpose has been a lot more than it is now. these days the dominant percentage are investors who don't know what bitcoin is and only care about the profit.

It's easy to judge now after 5 years regarding the btc's price. It could have been the cheapest Prius, as well if price wouldn't have raised meanwhile. But yes, it's an expensive Prius at least for now. 😊
