Enough people sunk their whole live savings and then some into this. They are less happy than you are.

- spurdoman77 6y agoWith any financial instruments there are those for who it is a worse deal than alternative. With Bitcoin you have great volatility, but it has been mostly upwards. If you have made loss you are probably minority of the user/investor base. For example, the current ATH was nearly $20k, and the current price is $9k. If you were unlucky enough to buy at ATH, you are down to 40%. Thats still not that bad situation - for example with stocks it is easy to find bets where you lose 90%.
- DarkWiiPlayer 6y agoSinking your whole life savings into something is stupid and it's peoples own fault if they do so and lose everything.
- nangz 6y agoSunk half my life savings in at $16, then doubled down and sunk the rest in when it dropped to $3. Have now bought a house each for pretty much all my close friends and family members.
- karlp 6y agoCouldn't a gambler say exactly the same thing?
- _-___________-_ 6y agoUsually, no.
- spurdoman77 6y agoWith gambling the winners is very, very small minority. With bitcoin/crypto practically all people who got in before 2017 have been doing very, very well.
