Bears make money. Bulls make money. Pigs get slaughtered. Best of luck to you.

You have been lucky, not smart.

Neither lucky nor smart. When the technology came out, I put the work in, studied it, realised the potential and invested what I could afford to lose in it.

Calling us lucky is very condescending, but I really don't mind it with my current bank account balance. Cheerio

A lot of technologies have potential but die out from a whole bunch of executional problems, you were lucky that Bitcoin didn't, just like any investor in high-risk investments is. There are no fundamentals to analyse Bitcoin and there were even less back in the beginning, you made a bet and got lucky, that's about it.

I'm glad your bank account balance is healthy but again, you just made a bet, don't try to sell like there was a proper analysis that was in any way close to a scientific method to go through.

Cheers, enjoy your money, I don't care about how much you have, don't be smug about it.

You were smart and lucky to buy in early. Most people did not and are already wiped out.

BTC was $8k around 20 Nov, so anybody who bought any time before that is massively up.

Still, I agree with the essence of your post.
