yeah, but, would you have ever thought bitcoin would go to $20k each? Or, would you have sold your bitcoin when they hit $10 each?

That's a good one, if you knew specifically your friends were crappy when you were 18. It's less useful down the road, as you start making new friends..

Well, is he supposed to buy it at 19k, sell at 19k. Buy 19k shares of stock? Convert $19k to bitcoin? Wink


I would hope my 18 year old self, having aged until his mid 20's when bitcoin was created, would figure it out.

He would have thought to himself---what significance does "Nineteen Thousand" have? What benefit would there in buying 19,000 coins or converting $19k into bitcoin? Why not 20,000? Why not 15,000?

And, surely, I would not have meant to buy bitcoin at $19,000 each. I wouldn't have had that kind of money. And, Bitcoin, from day one, was always about speculation. Why would anyone want to spend $19k each on something like that?

It's a gamble. Wish I had a few more words to work with, but, I think if my past self would have recognize the potential.

Alternatively, "Bitcoin Worth Thousands" would have caused me to buy up a shit ton of bitcoin for pennies each, and forced me to hold them until at least $2000. Easily could have put me in the $20 million range by my mid 30's.

You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.
