Bitcoin's at $4.27 .. Where were you on Christmas 2011 ?steemCreated with Sketch.

On Christmas 2011, it looks like I lost my internet connection after looking at the price of #Bitcoin. At a price of $4.2798, I remember thinking, "Damn! What a nice price increase!" This was still during the days when explaining bitcoin to another person was...very rough.

And none of those exchanges are still around. Don't forget to store your bitcoin, and #STEEM, anywhere but hot-wallet exchanges!

You are so right about the wallet. I made the bad experience right yesterday.

And p.s. I hope you did hold your bitcoins :D

ouch...sorry to hear that :(

I was flying from house to house, cause I'm Santa clause

Good post Robert..I missed the bitcoin early days however never too late to start as I believe that price might reach 10K before 3 years time. Whats your take on Steem ? good time to invest?

i LOVE <3 STEEM!

Can you send links for the hot wallet exchanges? can other coins be stored there too? thanks for your post

I hope you bought lots of it, back then? ;-)

I did. Maybe 6 months later someone very close to me convinced me to sell >5,000 XBT. Long story, and I'm going to end it right there :D

Time traveler :-) Are you the real SN?
