All of them, unless your point is that Bitcoin was never accessible to anyone except tech people since the beginning. MtGox was originally an MTG card trading exchange. People also mined it on their crappy computer.
> Or do you mean the people who bought bitcoin early which was literally gambling that happened to pay off.
Life is a gamble.
- lovich 5y agoThat’s not buying more money. They didn’t build anything or purchase money. They purchased a commodity with no real expectation of growth beyond a pipe dream that happened to work out, and even with those winners the bitcoin millionaires were exceptional enough from the norm to get into the news. If you think people gambling on a brand new asset class becoming valuable is equivalent to things like getting low interest loans against your stock holdings that you aren’t forced to liquidate when it comes to buying more money, than we just have incompatible world views
- GhettoComputers 5y agoIf you don’t see buying BTC as buying more money yes, I don’t think we’re going to agree on this.
