Porsche or ferrari? Cheesy

Strangely enough, as high as bitcoin goes I still look for a reasonable car under $5k that will last a few years with low maintenance.

Though I spent more than that in the last week on a vacation.

That said, I'm going to splurge a tiny bit. Top line tickets to the Belmont Stakes. Half a bitcoin can go places. Wonder if they take it at the track.

They should.....

I'm afraid you'll be back one day talking about the tickets you ended up paying $35,000 for.

Value and money are so relative. Back in 2013 I gave my friend 0.1BTC for three bottles of home-made syrup. So that's more than 60$ per bottle and the most expensive beverage I have ever purchased I guess. I don't care, it was a fair price at the time. Nice bonus that my friend hodled all the way!

If we need a reason to feel bad, half a dozen alt coins went up 800%. And most of us missed out.

FYI I think this might be the best write-up of the alt situation so-far.

same. all my friends for the last 5 years have believe that they had "missed the boat."

what a shame.

edit: whoa Shocked

go bullstamp

I tried to convince my family and friends to invest in bitcoin since 2013. I've explained them throughout the years everything about the technology and its potential. What did they do instead ? They took bank loans and bought themselves expensive cars and spent their salaries on dumb worthless shit.

I was their god damn lottery ticket, the winning one, and they fucked it up. I never wanted to buy and hold the bitcoins for them, because ignorance should not be rewarded. I just wanted for them to follow the same path as mine, and to discover and appreciate the philosophical/economical and technological breakthroughs behind the Blockchain protocol.

Bitcoin has gone up by 10x and they still don't give a damn Cheesy

. Told them that we will be talking again after the next 10x.

Shit happens. Hell, I remember picking up class C swamp blocks and some domain names and letting them go because other people needed them to make the internet go and why should I hog them?

Eh, live and learn.

Porsche of course. Ferrari's are a real pain to work on.

But the bigger question is just how many can you fit in your driveway before you have to ask friends to park them in theirs....

Cars? I prefer the kind you don't have to drive. Driving impairs drinking.

How about this then Jimbo?

The Rolls has a better bar. Better upholstery too, and more spacious.

I also prefer a chauffeuse to a bot.

Who has the balls here to bet on a $2000 double top and defend this position in this forum? Wink

(Edit: Finex prices.)

(That doesn't mean $2000 cannot be passed in the future with better fundamental news. But perhaps it's too early and a sell-in-May scenario is more realistic.)

Very possible. The summer could be falling or dead. But that still leaves time for an epic winter

or maybe what we will see by the end of year will make the recent movement look like nothing

there is no mathematical equation to predict the price, so no price can be said to be in accordance with fundamentals

there are only the rules of supply and demand, but there is no way to know for sure the real demand and how many bitcoins exactly are in the supply

In retrospect, people will look at $2,000 bitcoins as dirt cheap too.

Same here too. I'm still telling them it's still cheap. They want to kill me hahahahahah.

i have no sympathy for any of them. they had their chance. they'll have other chances in the future when it's crazy high but the last 2/3 years were the second golden age of accumulation.

Clueless!

er

100 btc at $2,000.00 per BTC.

Mining equiv 5 btc a month. (LTC to BTC) (for a few months yet anyway as LTC difficulty explodes)

damn, and last July 15th 2016 at $450 BTC I was pondering if it was worth the risk to get an $1,825 new bankrupt sale Titan
on Ebay. (got it....but still)
