He was right when everyone was against him. But he was right when no one was buying. That's the big one. To be in a room when you're saying REVOLUTION and everyone thinks you're CRAZY, you're generally crazy. Except he adopted the revolution when no one knew about it and everyone thought it was stupid.

The day will come when owning 1 BTC is the only fact you could tell someone and they'll equate it to being upper class money.

Wherever you are, cheers to hope. Hope you were hodling at least a little through all these times.

I read an article today that the creator of Bitcoin owns approx. 980,000 coins

Giving him a market value net worth of $15.68B

The article was speculating (in sensational fashion) he could very well become the first Trillionaire in human history.

I bought and used it back when it was 20 bucks.

It never occurred to 20 year old me it could be worth something.

....one boom purchase was worth a little over 3.5 million these days.

Well a currency where each coin is 17k isn't really a currency. It's an investment. It's a bubble. We'll see where it goes. Bitcoin may be around, but my guess is another crypto currency will ultimately beat out Bitcoin.

I didn't oppose Wiki so much as I thought (and still do) that BTC is mostly useful for people who want to store assets outside their nation's banking system for whatever reason.

I did not agree with his pie in the sky ideas that it would replace national currencies all across the world. That still hasn't happened, nor do I see it replacing traditional "strong" currencies anytime soon like the dollar or euro.

The BTC-USD exchange rate had nothing to do with it.

The potential is there. He always reiterated it wouldn’t happen overnight. Posters busted his balls saying things like “I can’t walk into a store and pay with bitcoin” “only nefarious people use it”, well if you look around today many businesses are using it. I was in Orlando a few weeks ago and was appalled at the number of merchants and people using bitcoin.

One thing majority of crypto developers agree on is the ability to threaten fiat as we know it.

It's not the bitcoin is legitimately all that valuable, like $3-$5k...its that the strongest currencies in the world are in a way, collapsing against it...a printed dollar is worth about 50x it's recovery value (print)...

Bitcoin will do the same

From what I can tell the only thing driving this ridiculous crypto bubble is scarcity. The system is designed so that only 21 million coins total are available. If the system generated coins indefinitely nobody would give a shite because you could just set up a farm and get unlimited coins over time. Wouldn't be worth shite.

However, the rise of other cryptocurrencies is going to put the scarcity of bitcoin out of business.

I see this bubble bursting HARD within about 3 months.

Sell now.
