I've been reading about Bitcoins for the last 3 days and my conclusion is...

This is the thread that increased so many people's net worth

Also, it is a beacon of HOPE to those affiliates that got anally devastated by the industry's shift to the tube model

Battus, wherever you may be, regardless of whether you're alive or dead, free or incarcerated, sane or insane, we, the people of GFY owe you a debt of gratitude for helping us see the BRIGHT LIGHT OF THE BLOCKCHAIN FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quoted for TRUTH

When is it a time to BUY BTC? Anytime it is priced below $200,000

Well you would do if you had lived in Holland for 10/15 years or longer

It's possible I'm wrong but I knew him from other forums before GFY existed, this was 20 years ago and he was cool enough to buy me my first domain name because I didn't have a debit card/credit card at the time but I'm pretty certain I remember him saying he was French.

I'll drink to that

One of the first ever Bitcoin maximalists, Jscott deserves credible mention too, along with Dugmor that bought around that time and had the foresight to hodl

Should be in the "GFY Post" Hall of fame...

Thanks a lot Paul
it sure takes a unique type of person who bought back in $xx range and still hanging on today

Completely agree

When you're right you're right!

Franck first and then you have been right, you where/are both completely and utterly adamant that this thing was a buy and hold. Even today I'm not 100% convinced of what it will become and prefer to trade it (which has made me less than if I just had of bought it and kept it.

In March/April 2013 I had $30,000 I was considering investing in Bitcoin, in the end I invested around $1000 and I lost it trading it on MtGox. I never ever ever would have had the conviction to buy it, put it in cold storage and just keep it long term.

Instead of loosing $1000, I could have lost $30,000

The great thing is though, it's never too late. In the past month doge coin has done a 10x (although it's clearly a shitcoin)

Some of the DeFi projects have done a 30x this year, Ethereum has done a 20x over the past 12 months.

Once the SEC case against Ripple/XRP is either dropped, settled or they pay their fine, it'll most likely do a 10x too in the next 3/6 months

franck's post back then was one of the factors in our entire office getting into bitcoin back then, dumped 3 reality kings wires into it. absolute life changing, just wish I had diamond handed it instead of selling off half in 2017 on the run to 20. Thanks franck wherever you are.
