I downloaded the Bitcoin mining app in 2010, opened it once, got bored of waiting for it to sync with some server, then shut and forgot about it for a few years. It might be a funny story to tell my grandkids if BTC is still around

If Bitcoin is around when your grandkids are of age, even this minute might be a great time to buy Bitcoin. Why miss the same boat twice?

Hope what you say is true, because I bought bitcoin @ $4700 :'(

Like they say; "The best time to buy bitcoin was yesterday. The next-best time to buy bitcoin is now."

> I had such opportunity and ability to buy bitcoins in 2012... and I missed that boat.

You also have opportunity and ability to buy bitcoins now. And, just like in 2012, you have no idea what the price will be five years into the future.

No, they’re not. They’re just overnighting large shipments of GPUs with carriers that use airplanes to handle overnight shipping.

That quote also isn’t from Gibson. :)

This isn't as big a deal as it sounds. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14887929
