"Crypto"? What the fuck is that?
Jojo.. you gotta know better, no?
Hasn't no one learnt you nuttin properly yet?
He had invested X amount of FIAT and proudly announcement he had a positive exact amount of FIAT out of it.
Each person got his own goals, he achieved the goals he was chasing at.
I feel like over the years, we've seen these kinds of accounts come and go.
They come in, talk a big game about buying Bitcoin because libertarian ideology and how they are going to hodl forever.
Then in just a short time they quietly hit some pitiful goal and sell all, or quietly panic sell all.
Then they disappear from the forum, never to be heard from again.
Bitcoin has also been around a little while now. Many members of the community have passed away due to various issues. Some have gone to prison or fallen ill. I doubt it’s always about the money alone. While I’m sure there are plenty of people who have cashed out and are out living their dreams, I don’t know if we can assume that’s everyone’s story.
Ultimately, I agree with you OgNasty in respect that there are a considerable number of stories out there, but seems to me that Torque is expressing a certain amount of legitimate skepticism regarding whether some accounts are actually being genuine with us in terms of their actual stories.... and also there is a certain level of dumbness that comes through the average JoeBlow, even if he is being genuine... come into bitcoin and acting like he has some kind of BIG plan while at the same time lacking in a lot of fortitude and stay-with-it-ness .. in terms of actions speak louder than words.. and talking a BIG game is not the same as actually sticking with the plan without whimping out along the way.
