If this guy sold out near the top in Dec 2017 he did very well....


yeah he sold some and re-invested. He has nearly 11 bitcoins at the moment which is worth almost €180k I think. If he cashed out now he would be making a profit of over €100k purely on bitcoins. He has other crypto currencies as well. Some man

Presume he'd have to pay capital gains on that? Some going all the same 

Remember trying to buy some back in 2013, got frustrated and gave up, what could have been and all that 


Yep he would have to pay 33% on any gain made alright

There's probably too many at this stage. It's relatively easy to make a new currency at this stage so a lot of nerds have done so. Most are worthless

PayPal have announced they will allow Bitcoin and a couple of others next year so they are gaining more traction.

Most people seem to be using them as speculative assets.... a bit like owning mining stocks.

Fair play to him

It’s easy to throw a few 100 on crypo currencies and make a good return but to throw you life savings takes balls of steel!

Just seen this from me, FFS if I had bought a bit coin that day and forgot about it until now, I'd have made about £14k. Dead

Decided to put a few quid into this too Sham. Went for bitcoin, Etherium, Ripple and Cardano.

think i'll start putting in £50 a month and see how i get on in a year. I think I'll concentrate on Etherium and Cardano.
