Then you would have been kidnapped and tortured by Ukrainian gangsters for your Bitcoin wallet keys. Then murdered and your body set on fire.

I think the issue back in the day was it wasn't easy to acquire crypto. You needed to have a friend that was tech savvy to help you get it done. But definitely a missed opportunity by a ton of people.

My brother got in early and bought a bunch of it. When it started to blow up, and he had turned a few bucks into about $20k, he sold it because he thought that was about as good as he was gonna do and he needed the cash. If he'd held onto it, he would have the kind of money you're talking about.

Oh well. What can you do.

as the other posters pointed out; if you survived the dirt, gravel and paved roads as this whole thing evolved and stored it on non-scammer exchanges or kept your BTC secured locally..then its no different than any other deposit/withdrawal.

i don't think you would do that all in one transaction though..

I ask this because my friends who say they have crypto are always talking about it. However, they always doge the question when I ask directly.

When I first heard about it, I thought it was bullshite, but then thought...maybe I'll just throw $20 in there.

I started researching how to purchase bitcoin and though it was a lot of work and said frick it.

Not that it mattered, because I would've made $100 and cashed out because I'm a paper handed bitch when it comes to investing.

the btc trading volume is pretty big now. You could sell 2B over a couple of days easily.
