Bitcoin- A 10 Bagger (BTC)

Bitcoin FAQs

Back in 2014 I started hearing about Bitcoin and being inquisitive I researched it and found out how to buy some, which I did. I then promptly ignored them and carried on with my fumbling attempts to make money out of other things.

In fact, I couldn’t remember what my details were and how to access them.

Whilst clearing out some old paper work recently I stumbled across where I had written down my account details, so I logged into Blockchain and my bitcoins where still there and what was more pleasing I was sat on a 10 bagger.

Now at this point you are probably thinking “Smug Bastard” but no I was kicking myself.

At the time, I purchased I had thought “What am I going to do with them and they will probably go belly up as a scam and I only bought 0.1 bitcoins. Yes, I risked a massive £21 which is now worth £210 as I type.

So, I am now sitting thinking why didn’t you buy 1 or 5 or 10 for God’s sake it would not have broken you at the time.

So Doh! This making money game is easy when looking through a rear-view mirror.

I will hang on to my small stake and maybe it will 10 bagger again and I still don’t know what to do with them, but things are changing.

I posted some comments on Cryptocurrency on ONLINE comments.(qv)...
- Is this an illusion? I do wonder..... sure there are stories of being unlucky - we have all(?) Sold a stock, only for it to rise beyond belief... but the fundamentals remain that no-one can hold it physically. At least for now there are "Share Certificates" which can be held in the Bank.... but our money will soon become an illusion ( mobile phones and Similar tech)..... giving plenty of opportunity to clever crooks - or Foreign Gov, short of money.
Present valuation is quite mad, but it may continue... don't forget ( history) the Dutch Bulbs.... Oooer!
Can one bet when it will begin to fall, say first 10%?

As I type my £21 punt of bit coins are worth roughly £1016 a 50 bagger.

So I have sold £500 and will run the balance.

Who needs oil and gassers when you can have bumcoin?

Even bigger sigh, missed it entirely :-(

Bitcoin rises above $14,000 on Bitstamp to record high

$60m worth of Bitcoin stolen by hackers.

Our friends over at ADVFN have now removed the DAX chart from their header page and replaced it with Bitcoin.

And what happens if it's your Bitcoin that gets stolen. Who's paying to replace it? I assume no-one

Martini - 07 Dec 2017 11:42 - 88 of 142

Bit like someone stealing your wallet. The bank of England won't refund you for the cash you have lost.

Some wallet!

Bit a bitcoin - hold for 2 days and make 50%.

omg - you could make money by holding for half an hour.

No wonder FTSE won't go up - all the speculative money is on bitcoin

Martini - 07 Dec 2017 15:25 - 91 of 142

Yes crazy isn't it!

CC - 07 Dec 2017 15:26 - 92 of 142

So...

Soon you will be able to short bitcoin I assume through CBOT which makes me wonder what the traders will do with it. where would you short it? 20k , 50k? because there's no intrinsic way to measure what it's worth

I know nothing, I'm out of my depth, I'm steering clear.

Remember when Freeserve was the 6th biggest stock on FTSE?

skinny - 07 Dec 2017 16:25 - 93 of 142

CC - lets not go there..........

Martini - 07 Dec 2017 16:54 - 94 of 142

pop?

hilary - 08 Dec 2017 08:35 - 95 of 142

Well done, Martini!

May I ask please, when you sold your coins, what was the bid/offer spread like, and did you have to accept the bid, or could you place your own order on the book and wait for a fill?
