RE: BITCOIN: $1k invested in 2010 is now worth $9m ..!!

in #bitcoin8 years ago

I remember when I first heard of Bitcoin and it was sub-one dollar. I thought it was a fad. Wow, was I wrong.

My first investment in Bitcoin was in the hundreds earlier this year.

I have heard estimates of $1,000, $10,000, and even $1 to $5 million. Given the number of people on the planet and the upper limit of the number of BTC, one or more of those targets may be hit.

For now, I am going with the target of $1,000 per BTC then a pull-back to the $800 range before a renewed push higher.

Thanks for your post!!

In 2022 people will be saying the same thing about STEEMIT..!! Stephen

I hope I don't have to wait to 2022. At the speed things are moving (accelerating even) it should be much sooner.

Have you haver by any chance margin trade bitcoin? @stephenkendal @etcmike?

I Invest a little bit in BTC each month. I do not trade it, meaning buy and sell BTC from BTC to USD and vice versa.

Interesting Opinion! I think so like-wise but there is a lot opportunity for Bitcoin so there increase in price should be of not surprise. Many say it go be pass 2000$. Time can only tell as it's a speculative Market! But recent spike increases show Support for Bitcoin is strong, but remember there are alt-coins ;) Steem is way cooler than holding Bitcoin for speculative gain. There will always be value for STEEM thats for sure! Merry Christmas, please keep on steeming @etcmike @stephenkendal ! together we can support Steemit!

When BTC reaches $1k USD, I may buy STEEM with a portion of my BTC holdings. Once BTC reaches $1k I expect a pull-back to the $800 USD area. That is when I will make more purchases of BTC. Then hold for the upleg that pushes BTC through the thousands to its next level in the $2k area and beyond.

To date I am only an investor. I accumulate BTC then use a portion of that to buy STEEM. As I prepare for retirement, I see a benefit in holding BTC and STEEM as a means of diversifying out of fiat. After I retire I will be reversing the flow from STEEM to BTC to USD.

I view crypto-currencies as another way of diversifying my portfolio in addition to stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, and silver. At this time crypto-currencies represent a small percentage of my overall portfolio. That could very well change if BTC takes off next year (2017).

Have a very Merry Christmas!
