There are those old depth chart pictures I've missed! I also miss those prices too, if only I've bought more and realized me joking BTC would hit $10k wasn't actually a joke and would be eventually true. $239, oh boy good price. Can we get these depth chart pictures again? What happened to the bot that used to post these?
I wonder?
Is there much of a difference now, buying at $7,600, as compared with buying at $239 in 2015?
Or maybe $7,600 today is like buying at $600 in 2015? I wonder?
Part of the comparison is that $239 would have been a 77% correction point, down from $1,163. $7,600 is about a 61% correction point from $19,666 - and $600 would be a 52% correction point from $1,163.... ... If we want to stick with the 61% correction, then we are at about $450, down from $1,163.
Remember there was a long period between about November 2015 and May 2016, that we were largely stuck between $350 and $450, so getting above $450 seemed a barrier, and then when we finally broke above $450, there was another dip down in July/August 2016, after the Bitfinex"hack" news. After getting over that Bitfinex "hack" FUD, three digits became a kind of history that was only briefly touched upon again in March 2017.. So recent, yet seems almost like ancient history.
I bought
all of mine for under £400 in 2014.
Beautiful, just beautiful
O.k. I don't doubt that you bought a lot of bitcoin in 2014 (perhaps the vast majority of your BTC stash), and perhaps averaging for less than £400 ---- but call me a doubting Thomas with regards to whether you have been sitting on your stash (HODLing completely?) for 4 years-ish.
In other words, I am doubting your claim to "all".
I am thinking that you must have either bought more, since then, or sold some - accordingly, you are not very likely to be locked into all of your coins at one purchase price - especially given your level of activities in this bitcointalk forum.
I believe you have responded to this question before, but I have forgotten your answer - except that I recall that you have some sell price-point targets that BTC has not reached yet, so for the sake of refreshing memories and repetition and without giving up too much of your possible stashing privacy, please provide a few more details.

Not really sure what my stash cost me tbh.
I paid a ridorkulous electric bill for a year in 2015 for the
majority of them. I think I did ok....
You should be able to get a ballpark figure. I do find some calculations to be difficult, especially if you buy and sell and buy back. Also, sometimes there can be questions about what to count as expenses, and verifying that all your coins are accounted for, which could cause average costs to go up in the event that you lose some of your coins.
