Anyone else here an old fag? Post what you have done with your bitcoin and regrets

It wasn't cryptos fault for your stupid decision

New Zealand, checking out the filming locations of the LoTR movies.

I became a person that I was afraid not to become...

Poorfag here with poor choices in life. Could you please send some spare change?

15WXG6BKEUBgvrXqRcNfYg7VbQHFBRQ3xi

I managed to save 0.08048389 BTC for a year now and I am trying to invest with this...

Help me, or not... Your choice user.

certianly can't be feeling worse than a dude that left half a billion on the table.

at least you kept some. i feel for the idiots who sold their entire stack.

Also mined back in 2009, cashed out as soon as it hit $1.50. Can’t be mad about getting almost $200,000 out of thin air, but thinking about how rich I could be today makes me want to bite the business end of a pistol

bought a little over 300 in 2011. Still have most of them. Waiting until my stash is worth £3mil then I intend to sell £1mil into some more stable investments like property or index funds. And then hodl the rest for many more years in the hopes we see 10k or 100k / coin
I regret not buying more in 2011 but I was poor.
Money does not solve mental problems

>that id

What did you do with the cash? buy any assets like property? That counts as diversification

also that's awesome if you really do have a ticket on virgin galactic OP. I have considered it too though slightly afraid of exploding or something

how much were they?

oldfag here. never bought shitcoins. wanted to buy ETH at $20 when it was heavily shilled here early this year. tried to figure out how. a week later it was too late.........

I even had a friend try to GIVE me free bitcoins in 2009...I didnt understand it then how to tranfer coins, i had a wallet set up and everything

feels bad

awesome man enjoy, if you wanna spread the love and get me to middle earth too i'd be forever grateful

BTC: 1DwhJdJ1nHntU4yxZ4DqruxDMYPJvW5rw5

$250k according to google

Was waiting for someone to pickup on the ID.

Bought a house to live in, but no investment properties. Alot of cash to family, paid off my parents mortgage and siblings uni.

Quit everything in 2013 and just been travelling around being the ultimate neet. Havent even bought a lambo.

Cost me 220 bitcoin.

that's pretty great user

pricey

what country are you from and how did the cashout process go? did you need to fuck around with trading data or blockchain data to prove to the bank that you wern't some drug dealer?

Australia.

Nope, just had to pay alot of tax. Didnt get one call from the bank, literally not a single question asked after having millions go into my account.

I assume if I got an audit from tax office they might ask where the money came from.

dodged a bullet there. thats my biggest fear because i sure as hell didn't keep trading data/account data back when this shit was worth nothing. if the irs comes calling i basically have no real information to give them and theyre going to think im fucking ross ulbricht.

i am from Aus too, i remember a whole bunch of NEETs on tv back in 2014 campaigning outside mt gox headquaters in australia or some shit, one of them said he had lost 100k worth of coins, did you manage to avoid that mess user, if so how?

Happy to hear you've still got enough to live the neet life OP.

NZ is a beautiful place for it too.

I sold out 250 at $13 or so. Was young back then, thought a couple of k was a good return. Spewing.

Enjoy the future

Not sure what the laws are in your country are, but I spoke to a lawyer and they told me that banks dont really care where the money came from as long as you pay the tax properly. You are just a drop in the ocean.

They (whoever 'they' are) have to prove that you got them illegally, not the other way around.

I didnt, lost over 7000 bitcoin from mt gox

Aus here too. You don't like to expect a phone call in 1 or 2 years asking for an explanation?

Seems like there's a fair few of us here..

yeah, i figure i would report a cost basis of zero and keep the irs happy rather than guessing my entries and exits for trades withotu having any documentation.

have you looked into the citizenship/visa market? might help you find a nice place to put some property or at least reduce taxes if you sell any more.

I bought 100 coins at ~$9, lost 20 to fuckhead Mark at MtGox. Sold a few over the years, now have $270k spread across multiple coins.

I used some money to pay for living expenses, but I don't plan on withdrawing any further money from crypto until I desperately need it.

I'm currently studying medicine, will be finished with my degree in 2 years and it might liquidate to fiat for my first property purchase.

Not a true oldfag, but I've been into crypto for a while.

Checking in from across the ditch. Would appreciate you refer to us as Haast's rather than Kiwi's from now on, cheers

10pm on Veeky Forums on a friday night where the fuck else would i be :'-)

Who do you think is going to call?

Nice, I was actually in first year med at Monash uni. Dropped out when I realised I could live a Neet thanks to bitcoin.

I'm also Australian.

I know many people involved in BTC from Australia, as it was one of the few ways to get decent drugs into Aus back in 2011-2014.

I remember a couple of years ago many people claiming Satoshi was an Australian guy named Craig. Turned out to be a hoax though.

Can I have 0.15 btc for a new laptop from Newegg? Current one has a cracked screen and I haven't made enough for a new one

1RLaLtNtQAumXagJKcNAscMX2YM2Wqen5

No shit, I'm studying an MBBS at Monash too (postgraduate course though).

We could have been med and crypto buddies. :(

fucking larpers show your wallets you delusional autists

That's how it all began.... Was a cool talking point at clubs too, funny enough. Good days.

Pretty sure he's still trying to get back into the limelight.

Don't be autists just arrange to meet up for some beers anyway there's too few opps to meet people in life with similar interests especially when there's an overlap like you guys got.

Damn, I would have been 4th year undergrad this year. So likely would have met you.

Kek, everyone I know got started with bitcoin because of silk road.

Ha, If only I didnt spend it all on silk. Wish I knew of its worth back then, but good times though...It was fun while it lasted.

What made you keep the coins, did you expect the boom, or was it luck?

>Jew in the ID

100% luck the first time, almost sold it all, but I was only 17 so 10k was alot of money for me when it was $1

But after it went to $10 that I saw the potential to make good money from it.

Life is about being enjoyed OP. You stil 450 bitcoins. Four. Hundred. Fucking. Fifty. You will make it.

I remember in 2010 when i had some saved money and was thinking about buying some bitcoins just out of interest of the new concept.
Then my gf at the time kept telling me it's a scam and it's a waste of money. We went on a 2 week vacation throughout europe instead.
I regret the day i met her.

Oldfag here too. Paid no attention to coiner threads back in the day, thinking posters were just money trolling. Feels bad man

Good stuff mate, glad it worked out for you!

Yep, it was a lot of cash for me too when I sold out. Can't stress it, life balances itself out.

Stay healthy OP, all the best.

are you able to give me lets say 0,5 btc ?

1M1Rfz9r1ddWi2qRWJpcBqNUgN5hXT6S4y

Did you dump her ass yet?

A long time ago, i recently got into some crypto and making a little profit. Better than nothing i suppose. Damn woman ruined my life in more ways than one.

I remember the crypto general threads. When it was just one thread in the board a few times.

What the fuck user, euro holiday would have been thousands of bitcoins in 2010. Thats got to be painful.

>buy 1000 ltc at 0.02 btc
>held through the pump to 0.05 in 2014
>held through the pump to 0.03 in 2015
>finally sold at 0.02 this year

I am the biggest retard in crypto

>you will make it
dude already has made it.

Just buy back in now. ;-)

Not an oldfag but in 2013-2014 I remember seeing "Dogecoin" and thinking it'd be cool to get some free ones. I think I got 42 for free back then but completely forgot about it till recently. If only I chose to get free BTC from random sites back then...

> tfw never paid attention to crypto even though I was all over Veeky Forums and other image boards since like 2011.
Fucking kill me. Atleast I've made enough to cover my uni fees + a deposit on a house when I graduate.

Most of the dummies who go to my school blow all of their cuckwages on clothes, ciggies, smashed avo and festival tickets so at least I've got that going for me, but can't talk about crypto to anyone IRL of course. I'd sound like a massive wanker.

Small world cunts, I'm studying law at Monash Clayton ATM lol.

to be fair that's only 2.5x max you missed out on, plenty of those opportunities these days.

oldfags like these make me very depressed as a reminder that this is already gigantic fucking bubble

>gigantic fucking bubble

he's not fucking wrong is he?

>>>reddit.com

they said biotech was a bubble

like crypto, there were many many "bioshit" and most went bankrupt...however the real winners caused the 'bubble' to consolidate instead of pop and now we are approaching new all time highs

same thing will happen to crypto, and yes while btc appears to be a bubble, any correction would be quickly bought up and consolidated

that is assuming of course that the "shitcoins" get weeded out eventually

picking the winners is the same game in the end

that id, holy shit

It's impressive for sure

fucking beggar

Truly believe this is tulip mania.
Every time I get on a plane or stay at a 5 star hotel I think, where did this money come from? All the shit I buy, the money came from somwhere. It is all ponzi money

That's cuz your an old fag and understand nothing about the underlying tech.
Please kindly sell the rest of your btc so humanity doesn't lose them after you die. Thanks!

christ what the fuck is there to understand other than what is common held belief now? like seriously, explain what you said. humor me

bitcoin didn't have an IPO, it started at zero, you can't go from zero to fair market price without everyone crying that it's a bubble along the way.

>tulip mania, pyramid/ponzi scheme, only used by drug lords, pedophiles and terrorists
Is that your common held belief, faggot?
How about world's first fully digital rare asset?
or the first and only open, border-less, censorship resistant value vehicle and cryptography innovation platform.
Backed and protected by thousands of gigawatts of excess electricity.

...

>where did this money come from? All the shit I buy, the money came from somwhere. It is all ponzi money
The money bled from other investments. Bitcoin is 100 billion, well then, millions of other investments and wealth storage places have lost 100 billion. It hasn't come from nowhere.
Gold is no different, its value is far greater than its utility, it is as much a ponzi as Bitcoin.
And in certain ways, Bitcoin is a better store of value - you can keep the keys in your head, they can never be taken from you. It's reasonable it should take some % of other asset market shares.

Looks like you might get another million or two back from that.

The bankruptcy estate holds over 200,000 btc and bcc and at today's prices thats more then enough to cover the value that those btc's were worth back when it went down.

It's not a done deal yet but you can at least get a lawyer to look into it. At these prices they will pay it back sometime.

Please wealthy user this is my only computer.

1RLaLtNtQAumXagJKcNAscMX2YM2Wqen5

thanks user, will save that btc address. Flick you some coin if it checks out

it's retarded autist fanboy hurr durr new age economy like this that makes crypto 1) look fucking pedantically retarded which costs us all money and 2) "digital rare asset" what the fuck do you think this is, trading MMO items thinking you're changing the fucking world?

Kill yourself, retard. I fucking hate you people. Get real, you might actually earn a dime.

You'd never had hodled all till today. Likely nice profit for sure, but not necessarily life changing.

>comparing cryptographically protected distributed ledger currency to centrally controlled and issued assets (the US dollar; MMO items)
You are truly pathetic. Learn to admit defeat.

rub the shit out of your eyes and reread thread

Yeah i got like 500$ from some site, bought btc withdrew, never logged in again.

Was probably 1btc in 2014 or so.

Cool, i dont know how to send text with a bitcoin transaction but if you do, link this thread in it as well. I'll have a good laugh knowing i helped (and got some coin)

Also kraken offers a mtgix insolvency claim service.

No longer possible online but offline still possible.

support.kraken.com/hc/en-us/articles/204802478-How-can-I-process-my-MtGox-claim-with-Kraken-?mobile_site=true

Seriously user, look into it.
I can hardly believe you didnt that was 3-4 million worth at the time it went offline according to bitstamp prices.

If ure able to send me something anything it would make a major difference since im trying to do something with 0.01btc. Please user as much as u feel confortable with:

Maybe you can sue someone saying you didn't agree to the terms of the claim form.

Is the Trip wrong user?

1M8qFNJXaNYtVJdYodeiqCuuueZCm21xsx

Have a look into ALIS alismedia.jp/ It looks like a great idea still in its early stages. Could make some $$

If you hadnt sold, it wouldn't have pumped, trust me.
Coins had to spread before pumping

Looked into bitcoin when I was around 15 or so sometime between 2009 and 2011, didn't go further than bitcoin faucets

Bought 25 ANS for $20. I was getting into crypto and put $20 on like 30+ coins. If I had put more on fewer coins I could have made it

This is why you sold. You don't see the bigger picture. The money came from other investments, the same way they would for any upstart company growing into a behemoth. Where did the $475 billion market cap for Amazon come from as it went from being some guy selling books in his garage to a corporate behemoth despite the it's made almost no profit? Pic related, it's mine.

id+dubs confirms your identity

Selling Bitcoin in the early days isn't exactly the biggest fuck up. It was new and there was no precedent or pattern set, so selling just to secure gains was completely rational.

I remember when someone posted a pic of the merchant Jew and their ID was "G0y"

Hindsight is 20/20. What's important is you made profit and are doing things you want to do. There was no way when you bought 100k of BTC that you would have known it was ever gonna go to $6000.

Mr.Goldberg what would it take to make you tip us all a little of your happiness?I guess some richfags here just wont donate because it takes up too much time to send everybody something.....

1Li2RJwtKEZ6wag9W37omxsuPsMAYKrENK

You don't understand any tech other than the tech that enables your high def gay porn addiction, bitch.

Crypto is gambling and it's backed by fiat which itself is backed by nothing but debt that will never be paid. The U.S Dollar is the world reserve currency and the U.S is fucked.

OP better buy some silver and gold with his Bitcoin, because that shit is actually tangible.

99% of people b4 2011 spent tons of bitcoins on shit, no one had any idea it was gonna go this far
