Who still owns Bitcoin, and why?

My buddy nonetheless has all of the Bitcoins I purchased in 2013. And some extra of them.

My buddy by no means bought at 261 USD, 1250 USD, or 19000 USD.

As a result of I’m not a kind of “Purchase a Bitcoin at this time and be wealthy tomorrow” guys who use Bitcoin purely for hypothesis.

I purchased Bitcoin in 2013 as a result of I preferred the concept of getting full management over MY ASSETS with out anyone having the ability to take it from me.

No (central) financial institution would decrease the worth by inflation. (See how a lot $100 purchased you 10 years in the past and the way a lot it buys you now?) Actual property, shares, uncommon automobiles, artwork, and watches didn’t all of a sudden get dearer. It’s the equal fiat foreign money worth that went downhill.

No authorities would take it from me by taxation or laws. (Bear in mind Greece and Cyprus? Or the confiscation of Gold, again within the day?)

An simply transferable asset and securely storable asset like Bitcoin (attempt storing or transferring gold bars in giant quantities) is price A LOT MORE than what worth is at present indicated.

And over the long run, worth will all the time alter to worth.

However in a society the place everyone grew up believing in a colorfully printed piece of paper, it is going to take a bit longer till folks perceive that having full management over their very own cash is priceless. And that is what Bitcoin will probably be in a number of years from now.

That’s why I nonetheless personal Bitcoin and doubtless will for a very long time.

Please remark under how a lot BTC you’ve held until now and from when !!!!?
