So fuck it, here's my advice. Invest everything you can put together. The price is damn low and we're probably within 10-20% of the bottom (current price, $325). Drop your damn Roth...they'll find a way to tax it when you retire. Investing more than your company's matching into your 401k? Fuck that, dump it into Bitcoin. Any equity on your house? Refinance, put all of that money into bitcoins...the dollar will lose value in the next 30 years to the point where your $100-$300k mortgage will be pocket change.
In your "story" you failed to mention the overall value of your IRA as well as what happened to your
What happened to my investment in bitcoin? I lost it all. Half I lost by day trading getting it up over 800 bitcoins only to fall on bad leveraged short and long positions during the manipulation days of Bitcoinica. The other half I sold at $12 to put toward a downpayment on a house.
So ya...I lost it all (other than having some for my down payment).
But I'm still alive, I have a job. I'm still making money. The risk was high and I lost money.
But then I started buying back in at $22...$10k from my Roth is a tiny bump in the road.
