So I follow the financial markets and Bitcoin has had a lot of headlines lately. Every time I see one I get a bit irritated.
Not that long ago I read a bit on Bitcoin and decided I would buy some. At the time they were trading for $24 which considering they were trading for pennies just a year before was quite a jump. I decided I would buy $500 worth at $24 which was just kind of a number I pulled out of my posterior that was something I could completely lose and not lose any sleep.
So I started looking around and found a place to buy it, did all the crap and for some reason could not get the transaction to go through. After futzing around I gave up and the next day some other shiny thing got my attention and I never ended up with any Bitcoins.
So... Just a few moments ago I saw the latest Bitcoin price, $9750. If I would have bought that $500 worth a few years ago its current price would be $195,000.
Sigh...
So any of you guys have a Bitcoin story? Thoughts?
