When I was 16 I begged to the point of shouting at my father to buy AAPL. In fact I forced him to take all my life savings ($5000) and put a good chunk of his own in.
This was in 2005 before the stock split. So not quite 125x but can't complain (I also used to time it a bit back when it was an iPod company and not an iPhone company, it used to be very predictable).
Cigar buds are always out there. Some years I have no ideas so I simply don't invest in anything (haven't for the past 5). I'd just as soon buy Bitcoin as I would tulips or beanie babies -- in other words, I'm not skilled enough to invest in what I don't understand. I understood iPods. My other investments from that time period were Seagate (undervalued compared to peers), and Macromedia/Adobe.
Not even Satoshi himself can tell you the future of Bitcoin, it is entirely speculation.
- jcslzr 9y ago"Not even Satoshi himself can tell you the future of Bitcoin, it is entirely speculation." that is very true. Although I have not studied the blockchain technology I dont doubt it works...in theory, its the human side I am not sure about. But with all this currency crisis talk, dont you think silver is the new AAPL?
