Topic: How much do you have invested in bitcoins? - page 4. (Read 5586 times)
In coins themselves, probably only $150. Mining rigs, probably about $1000, considering I used a considerable amount of old hardware.
About £1500 in hardware. I've also purchased a fair few (£1k-£2k) BTCs while they were in the $1-$2 range which I offloaded at $20-$30 per BTC during the boom. I reinvested a lot of those USD back into bitcoins when the price dropped below $5.
Are you joking? The only thing that carries higher risk than Bitcoins is buying Italian government bonds.
that is in fact considered VERY secure..
learn some economics, son!
U$S 5500 for 7 Ghs
About $360 which is what I spent on my 2x 6870s for mining. They paid for themselves then prices tanked and it was no longer profitable for me to keep mining. Think I'm going to start again so I can have some fun in the poker rooms.
Just started working on mining my first bitcoin. But I am only in a couple hundred dollars. If the bills don't kill me, I may dedicate a box and a couple GPUs for 24/7 service now that Winter is almost here.
2k so far, and I've made about 1/2 of that back before the price dropped below 8. I'm holding onto them now, but still mining 24/7.
nothing so far, but looking to invest
$-0-
Started with hardware I already had laying around, and electricity that was a flat rate, included in rent. (So, basically free, since rent had to be paid whether I ran my rig or not!)
Then reinvested the "Free" earnings for hardware.
Then reinvested again (and again, and again...) to triple my BTC
Now I finally pay for power so, that's the extent of MY monetary investment. I make plenty of BitCoins/month mining, to pay that bill!

about 30$ a few weeks ago and now less than 20$.

For me, the jury's out. I think there's potential there, and I believe the bottom's either in or close to in. I don't have a target amount yet, and my present holding are minuscule (though I've been watching bitcoin since the end of 2010).
Once I get out of noob-jail, I have some interesting products that some folks may be interested in to sell and start building a BTC base. In time and after building up a reputation, I'm interested in operating a small-scale exchange and escrow service for the community, as well as offering some unique products that will help grow the BTC community. My expertise is in the privacy area (a PT, for those that know what that is) with a focus on privacy technology, private banking, offshore corporate structures, 2nd citizenships, etc.

I wank 2K to spend on goods and 2K to sit on...
I'm living in China, and only heard about bitcoin recently. Now I'm really obcessive with this idea, and invested 600 dollars.
time
$7k for me.
I just started about 4 days ago..
Learn Geforce cards are basicly junk for mining..
But for past 4 days while im working i had my GTX 560 ti mining away.
Just to start making some BTC..
I plan on buying few cards and my plan are to build rig next much or 2.

Just gotten into the Bitcoin mining game about 2 weeks back and have obviously missed the high times of the coin (they'll be back, I can feel it!) but I find the whole concept very intriguing.
Spent about 800€ for my rig (no open frame case or build into a shopping basket, not that there's anything wrong with that
just wasn't an option here). 2x 5830 + 2x 5850, still waiting for the 5850's to arrive so right now I've been mining with ~640 mh/s for a couple of days and I already am at a total of ~3.5 BCs. 
Did a lot of research until I considered building a rig of my own and for me it's not about the money (or breaking even anytime soon), well of course it is too but mainly the journey is its own reward building a rig generating currency. I wouldn't complain though if rates were going back up there to the $30 mark.

I've bought $5k worth of Bitcoins so far, hope to start mining a few too 
So far, I've invested in downloading a mining GPU program :p
