I bought the first bitcoin years ago for under $100. I’ve used the after tax proceeds (I am one of the few to actually reports their gains) to pay off ALL of my debt.

Your story sounds like somebody that won the lottery bragging about how good an investment lottery tickets are.

I am never suggesting anyone “invest”, “speculate” or buy any crypto currency.

I am suggesting that instead of sitting around talking down other people’s decisions or inventions that the same amount of time could be spent on learning something new. Something that may provide value—and developing the critical analysis skills that can allow you to see potential.

Most of the people I see shitting all over bitcoin have no idea—and want to learn nothing—about how any of this works.

I hope you don’t buy any. I use the dollar amounts to show how a minimal investment early gets you leverage that a late adopter will never manage.
