    Name the TIMES GFY could have made you a MULITMILLIONAIRE?

    Let me start

    #1 Battus/Franck telling everyone who would listen on GFY to buy BTC - this was back when BTC was cheaper than the mist rising off a freshly laid cow patty.

    #2 A GFY member posting about the IPO of Google and everyone and his dog bum rushing the dude for publicizing a stock that was going to quickly peak and crash and burn



    #3 Multiple FB IPO posts and people replying that since Zuck didn't have a mobile monetization strategy and given the huge float and initial valuatoin, FB will be dog shit (In fairness, FB did dip after IPO - see chart below

      Bought some articles in 2008/2009, just for $100, lately I checked BTC historical stats, would have been 200 Million Dollars if I would have put that $100 there, sounds not realistic but it is.
      Now it made me some $'s over time, so it's OK as well.

      Oh, and I bought the articles from you/$5 submissions, should have listened to Franck.
      ;-)

          I don't think it's as black and white as not following investment advice of random posters on GFY. Some people just aren't liquid or are unable to risk an amount that would provide a big yield. The bitcoin example is ridiculous, obviously no one thought this random nerd algorithm used to buy drugs and traffick humans would 1,000,000,000x.

          I put as much as I could afford into $FB on day one, and sold after I 2x'd because I needed the money. I don't know how much more I could have put in or how long I could have held it that would have had an impact on my life.

              Agreed, the BTC example is ridiculous, anyone could have bought, but who would have actually held all these years, thru all the attacks, fear, FUD, etc? Buying at any time is easy part, holding is skilled.

                  The time when I-Bill stocks were on the rise.

                  Or at trade shows when someone was looking for investors with the idea that if you stuck your dick into a flashlight filled with silicon you'd make millions

                      Makes me really wish I was around back then, or more specifically old enough to work in the industry back then.

                          As mentioned: not sure I would have held onto it. But I do think of Franck occasionally.

                          But I kind of did well with Apple, I'm up 1200% on them. And I'm not even an Apple User.

                              In 2005-2007 when I worked there, my boss kept telling me to buy stocks and that Apple was going to go huge, but I didn't believe them..

                                  There are GFYers who made literal millions (one I know of at I think 20 million?) from early crypto purchases. If you did any business at all with them, just look up their wallet ID to see if they sold.

                                  I sold a bunch to someone who hasn't sold them yet and they are at 7 figures right now just from what I personally sold them. HODL all the way for them I guess.

                                          not from this forum but I was referred to an offering for private shares of a new company on some kind of secondary trading market, min buy in was too high for me at the time, $125k so I had to pass.

                                          nonetheless, I did look up the company. it seemed pretty lame at the time, was only available to alumni of a few colleges and looked like a myspace clone.

                                          stupid name too, "thefacebook"

                                          oh well.

                                              Bitcoin ofcourse and seeing top domains that where registered much later than i first registered a domain.

                                              everything is fake

                                                  Isn't there a story about BTC flashdrives being given out at some adult convention long ago? They are all worth 7 figures but everyone either lost or didn't bother to note the keys.

                                                              Possible I suppose, but it was so cheap back then no reason to make it up at dollars per btc hehe.
