You're never too old to think young.

“I remember getting interested in bitcoin some time ago. It was $70 for a bitcoin, man and I went online and you had to have a special bank account at a special bank and I couldn’t buy any bitcoin so I gave up. Eventually I got some of them at the $700 stage and it went down to $350. I didn’t invest, I did it so I could play with bitcoin.”

I went through the same frustration back then.

I'd watched the price double from under $15 to over $30 while I researched Bitcoin, dual-key cryptography, SHA-256, etc., and realized it wasn't some kind of scam.

I was convinced it was game-changing disruptive technology, and wanted in. To my dismay it wasn't that easy. I hadn't discovered BitcoinTalk yet and foolishly thought I could buy coins through the usual channels. I even wasted a week transferring funds from my bank to Paypal! LOL

I persevered and eventually I was able to buy some coins by using a complicated system of making anonymous deposits into a Cavirtex account at a local bank with extra cents added as a code to identify my pre-ordered deposit. After a few hours wait, I could buy coins.

By then the price had doubled again to $68. I cursed at having to pay so much and wished I'd found out about Bitcoin a half year earlier. I could have wasted the same amount of time and still bought for single digits.

Within weeks, the banks had shut down those Cavirtex accounts and they then used a series of deposit systems which also kept getting shut down. Buying coins wasn't easy back then.

Now it's a snap. You don't even need to risk your money and lose your anonymity by using online exchanges. Bitcoin ATMs are everywhere, some at competitive prices, and it's not hard to build a base of OTC and personal bitcoin contacts if you live in or near a decent-sized city in a developed country.

Steve Wozniak and I could both have used a site like this back then:

Bitcoin bulls runs wild as cryptocurrency surges above $3,000: http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/11/bitcoin-bulls-runs-wild-as-cryptocurrency-surges-above-3000.html

Brian Kelly, CEO and founder of BKCM and a CNBC contributor, told CNBC this week that the cryptocurrency was "in the first years of what is likely to be a multi-year bull market. Of course there will be corrections and even crashes along the way, but bitcoin is here to stay."

A contributing factor to bitcoin's recent surge is growing demand from Asia. In addition to the China factor, Japanese interest has risen ever since the government approved bitcoin as a legal payment method in April.

For being that this was posted on YouTube in Feb 2017, this guy is right on the mark.  $2000 to $4000 by the end of 2017.

We are actually close to his high estimated prediction for the year, and toward the end of the video he shows a table of what could happen several years out...

If his calculations hold, and you own a few Bitcoin,,, we are going to be f&@%ing rich!
