Might be a good investment. Predictions go as high as $1,800 for 1 bitcoin for this year's big pump they say

I do not think the bitocin price will go to $1800 in December this year. If the price is half of that, I will be happy.

You still have these bitcoins and considering the price now and when you bought them you didn't lose except a small percentage or so from when you invested, I don't think this is a waste of money but a good one if bitcoin moves like we expect to here in the forum.

It was not a bad idea to save bitcoin but it is only a bad idea if you spend money which you can't spend though!
But anyways you didn't need to split them up and bury them you could have made some seperate wallets and save them in those which is much easier.
Having all your money in Bitcoin or whatever investment is never a good idea, but these people are impulsive buyers that act first, and do the thinking later.

These people mostly end up selling their coins with a huge loss as they sell their coins in panic when the price gets dumped down, but if OP is still having these coins, then he made a decent amount of profit.

But I don't know why OP isn't updating this thread from time to time in order to let people know how this journey is progressing.

No one  knows what happen to that pizza delivery boy which sells   pizza for 10k bitcoin which is  already a lot. If he knows the current price now  maybe hes one of the richest on bitcoin world  well  no one knows what happen to him if he possess still the  huge amount of bitcoin.

He gets interviewed all the time. He doesn't have a lot of bitcoins. He always says that he is glad he spent the bitcoins because it helped to prove that Bitcoin can be used as a currency. Some people actually want Bitcoin to succeed and not just hold onto them contributing nothing but shitty signature posts.

So this guy bought bitcoin when the price was about $450 and now that they are $600 he's broke? lol

he is a lucky person and he also saw a price of $750 in the mid of the year so he got about 80% or more profit with that bitcoins. But I think he is saying it because he have buried them and is unable to use them for his needs. He should have to keep them in his living wallet.

The problem is that we don't know how everything is right now. Perhaps he sold all his coins to secure profits. Perhaps that his coins, or the majority of it are still untouched. An update from OP would be a welcome thing here.
op last active was today , would be nice to get an update from him right? but since he is planning to save the 5 bitcoin for very long term saving in bitcoin , i guess he just keep his bitcoin underground . the 'broke' that what op means are due he has spent the whole fiat money saving to buy bitcoin and buried it. so i guess he just have a great plan Cheesy not the real broke.
Yeah, I would also like to see an update on this whenever he plans on selling or if he's already checked if it's still there :p
But it's better to wait until he takes another action, now it's just waiting that he has to do.
this dude is a legend already. and as far as i understand he has not intention of selling them soon (but he is learning more about bitcoin and how to use paper wallets), so they are most likely still there.
I wouldnt say a legend, but this might be another sucess history like the pizza old history. Knowing one thing that is savings at bitcoin does really magic and allow anyone to earn above the inflation, something with fiat wont happen never, and this show one extra thing that investment might be sometimes not the best option.

I think the guy who received the bitcoin for buy that pizza don't have the bitcoin anymore hahahahahaha maybe he lost his wallet or sold for a "medium" price.
Anyone know's what's happen with this guy?

That is right. The bitcoin is still in the very early stage of development. The price will still rise a lot in the near future.
thats true, bitcoins are definitely going to grow a lot in the near future, in my opinion it would make me some good money

Saving bitcoin for next 20 years may not be good decision and also that in a quite unsecure place like in your garden. Better put it on a bank locker so that even if you don't live till than your family can take control of your bitcoins.

If you put it in a bank locker and somebody get access to the private keys, they can steal the bitcoin.

That's why it is called "savings", they are meant to be saved!
Let me just share with you my saving algorithm.  Grin

Salary/Income --> Save 10% --> Expenses

well i have good news or bad news, this week i took out all my saving from my bank 3500 and bought some bitcoin

i now have a total of 6 bitcoins,  


last night i bought 5 usb sticks and 2 waterproof boxes,  i put the box inside of the other box then the 5 usb sticks in the middle of the box,  afterwards i went into my backyard and dug a hole underneath the bird fountain,

i dug the hole almost 3 feet under. Then i buried it back and placed the bird fountain back.  

The bird fountain has been in the same spot for many years so i am not worried about forgetting where i buried it, and grass doesn't grow underneath it.

so there we have it,  I buried a total of 5 bitcoins, i plan to keep it there for 20 years. The 5 bitcoins cost me about 2300USD


The 6th bitcoin i keep it on my cellphone and i plan to spend it online,


Now i only have 100 dollars left in my bank,  i am basically broke,  my whole saving gone!


Was this a bad idea?   after i buried it i was starting to feel like it was a bad idea,  

i also did not put a hard password on it because i thought i would forget


but i wasn't planning on using my saving for anything, and the bank doesn't give me any interest for it,

i've never invested in anything , possibly because i don't have much money


anyways.. it's just money.. i'll save some more

i figure in the future, it might be way too expensive to own even 1 bitcoin,



i am now a proud owner of 5 bitcoins


this is my bitcoin story,


here are some pictures of the box and bird fountain, its not the exact ones that i own but similar

Big ups, sometimes you have to make these hard decisions. I was bout the same and had $500 left. In the end it will be worth because you will get better interest than at a bank

I don't think you have lost your savings in bitcoin, If you want you could withdraw it in less than 10 minutes so just consider yourself to be investing it in a project or so, The price is volatile but there is a possibility for profit as well.

Investing in bitcoin is not totally bad. Its how you manage
well your money. We have sayings that dont put your eggs in
one basket. We have to ensure that we invest on something
that we can gain profit well. Likewise, all investments are risks,
dont put your whole amount of bitcoin in one investment.!
