What are you even talking about? Buying bitcoins and mining are not the same thing.
Just keep the bitcoins you bought and thank HN in 10 years for making you rich.
Btw Bitcoin is also very interesting from a technical point of view.

- knowitall 13y agoDid you invest 100000k $ in Bitcoin? I suggest investing 1k as an anti-black swan option. Or something like that. (If the economy crashes, BTC might be worth a lot. Or not. But the option doesn't cost much).
- astrodust 13y agoIf you're describing Bitcoin as an option play, that's not very encouraging. I think it's useful as a method of exchanging money where the official options are terrible, or for certain forms of online payments. It's value as a currency store is completely unknown.
