Bitcoin at ~5 cents in 2010!
...but I didn't know what they were or anything about this forum, so i didn't buy any...

That is also my biggest miss. Actually, I wanted to enter BTC before November 2013, but thought that I must first read about it,etc., in order to prepare properly. Spent too much time doing that and so I miss the last big BTC rally, too. But nothing to worry about, our time is gonna come!

Why CHF? Why not USD instead?

In 2011 USD/CHF was 0.76,

BTC is up 27,500% since 2011 when priced in USD. Both USD and CHF have collapsed against BTC in that period of time.

One Bitcoin is still One Bitcoin. That's all that matters. Never look at the price as measured in filthy fiat. Satoshi (pbuh) will come back any day now. Then he'll take the Chosen Ones back to the mothership to deliver us from evil, so that we can upload our consciousness to the blockchain while chanting hymns from the white paper.

If you're a weak hand, you're not a Chosen One.

So how do you measure what bitcoin can buy then?

I don't think investing is a good way to get profit in such a scammy environment.....btc is not safe now anymore

bolded sentence represents what I think is the biggest problem related to btc (and cryptos in general) Cry

And if you're savvy enough, that's why there's the potential to make returns.

If it survives and it becomes a safe environment to deal with, that's when larger amounts of people come in who regard it as a joke or a scam now.

You will need 10 Bitcoins to ride on Satoshis' spaceship. Physical bodies and clothing are both optional. Cheesy

Coulda shoulda woulda.

In the wider markets Barclays Bank shares went up tenfold after the crisis fairly rapidly.

LTC whupped BTC for returns over 2013. NXT would've been a very nice drip feed if you'd been in on it from the start. Both of those would've required some largish balls or blinkered thinking to really reap the benefits.

It's not great but there was many stocks recently go threw the roof, company's that sold hazmat suits etc

Also company's who was creating a cure for the terrible disease Ebola.

Just think where the world is heading do we need free energy? is there company's that could pull it off?

Does the world need a different financial system?

Could Bitcoin be that timing is everything!

Only invest what you can afford to lose then whatever happens just have fun.

Triple money in 2 years is a bad joke compared to it

If I bought gold at $600 7 years ago that would be 300% gain when sold 2 years back or 200% gain if sold right now.

The only thing that comes quickly into my mind is Swiss Franc. Which I knew of and I knew it will rise someday.
I didn't know of BTC 2 years ago so it would be unfair to pick it.

Why CHF? Why not USD instead?

In 2011 USD/CHF was 0.76,

A year ago it was 0.87

Today it's only 0.93

What asset has gained 1700% in 2 years? I'm sure you guys can think of something.

well, timing is everything. Buying in pre-bubble phase BTC you could come with a big win, as you stated. Buying near to the top (at $1000+) you would be now at the other end.

Yeah, the dreadful feeling of hindsight! I know that one! You have to turn that feeling around - imagine how things will look like when you look back at these prices again in 3 years! $215.16? Holy cow, that's cheap!

Thats cheap of course! I would have 370 coins instead of 100 now if I only would have bought now instead of @800

Gained 1700% in 2 years yeah! but only for early adopters. Most people bought high.

If I would have a weak hand I would have sold already @500-600... So, HODLING till the ship sinks... Or we go to the moon... We will see...

You hit it on the nail. The only people cheering on others to buy right now are the very people who bought in at the earlier stages. They bought or mined bitcoins dirt cheap, like pennies for a bitcoin, before 2013. Now, they need others to buy at $200+ each so they can sell off their coins and retire; while the new buyers become bag-holders.
