Bits and Pieces of BTC trivia

So I have been spending a lot of time reading and researching cryptocurrencies. While on Bitcointalk.org I came across some real gems and howlers…

I currently own ~1% of the available bitcoins today.

Did you own them before or after the value went from $0.01 to $0.10?

If before, in round numbers, what was your gain in USD? Just asking

$0.10c for a Bitcoin?????

I've been spending mine, so not much left... I bought sushi with BTC

Very expensive sushi …. I guess the guy now has indigestion !!

This guy had the right idea but ran out of puff, the response to his post was rather prophetic ...

I just earned my 1st coin from mining for about a week. Kink of undecided if it's worth it. $4k invested for 1 coin a week...Huh >Undecided

This quote will be funny when BTC is worth $4,000 USD each. (Prophetic words indeed)

Will save this so we can come back in 2-3 years and lol heartily!

A heartfelt post from a dude named “TwentyGotoTen” …. February 25, 2014

I bought .37 with hard earned cash from my RL physical labor job. I put that all on cryptsy and bought some alt coins. All that seems to happen on cryptsy is the decline of btc value of the coins. People/miner pools sell so low, they keep driving prices lower. I'm an average married schmuck with 4 kids. I won't be buying anymore as I could've just gotten my kids something but I was hoping that maybe these coins would grow over time and I can give them better life. Too many conmen & scammers in this game. I'm convinced now this will never be adopted by the general public for those same reasons. I love the technology too, so much promise, the peer to peer community over govt. bullshit. If you feel pity for me throw me some rescue satoshis. Grateful I only had to lose a few hundred to learn hard way, but I desperately wanted to believe there are intelligent, like minded people, like me, who are sick & tired of corrupt banksters and crooks fleecing the working poor. Good luck with your movement, thanks for reading my rant.

That $300 investment would now be worth $1050 ...not shabby growth in three years

Thanks for reading !!!
