A time is coming when anyone who owns, or who has ever owned, BTC will be a criminal.

Forget that. APPL opened in 1981 at $0.154 so for $1000 invested that would have been 6493.51 shares

06/16/1987 2 for 1 = 12,987.01
06/21/2000 2 for 1 = 25,874.02
02/28/2005 2 for 1 = 51,948.05
06/09/2014 7 for 1 = 363,636.36
08/31/2020 4 for 1 = 1,454,545.45 shares held today.

$239,010,909.09. Today’s value in real numbers without the phony “split-adjustment”

https://investor.apple.com/faq/default.aspx#:~:text=Apple%20went%20public%20on%20December,10.

What was the offering price at Appleā€™s initial public offering (IPO)?

Apple went public on December 12, 1980 at $22.00 per share. The stock has split five times since the IPO, so on a split-adjusted basis the IPO share price was $.10.

I started using Google immediately. My work group was planning on investing when they started to sell stock. I never did. I always make such good financial decisions.

Historical data says otherwise

My reference was directly from Apple Investor relations.

Do you seriously believe that their IPO was $0.10 BEFORE splits?

I give up. You’re right.

P.S., the historical data in charts are always back-adjusted for splits. If Apple ever has another split, their 1984 share price will become even lower in future charts.

A time is coming when anyone ... who has ever owned, BTC will be a criminal.

That's an assertion. Upon which facts is that assertion based?

The government already has the authority to declare many not overtly criminal activities (carrying cash, for example) as “financial crimes”.

For the government to get rid of BTC for good through regulation should not take more than half a day.

I suspect the enabling regulations already exist.

If they could repossess and melt legal tender gold in 1933, this really doesn’t seem like a heavy lift.
