I bought my first bitcoins in May 2013. For $88.

I still have the first ones I bought. People will debate if they are an “investment” or even real. I am not going to argue with anyone about that.

What I do know is that I am debt free with a new truck. All because of this “imaginary” investment.

So that’s the thing about any investment or currency… can you turn it into something you need later (like other currencies to pay debt, or a hard good, or food, or other supply)?

Whether stock or gold or crypto if the answer was “yes” when you wanted it, good deal. If “no” then look out.

When you’re a middle guy in a ponzi scheme, you do ok.
It’s the last guys that really take it on the chin.
