Wish I had that kind of appreciation. If I had only bought sooner. . . That will be what everyone says (besides the handful that bought at $1 to $10).
At least the author is wise enough to look beyond the traditional investments and consider Bitcoin as a great way to diversify.
Don't worry, if you own some now and hold on for a while, you'll get to enjoy a nice return, too!
Do you mean has anyone paid taxes on either capital gains or bitcoin mining income? B/c I haven't yet, but plan to next spring.
