Which is gambling. There’s no quarterly figures to red when deciding on red or black and odds or even.

Well yes, that was what i was saying.

I guess you misunderstood, partly because of my limitations with English. ;)

I mean for me "could not be different than gambling" baiscly means it equals gambling. But i guess you have that often used "could not be more different from ..." that made you think i was arguing differently? In Flemmish we just tend to use that "could not be different than ..." in a sort of logic of exclusion. I guess though i take the easy translatio of the dutch "dan" into the English "than" whereas i perhaps should have used "but" and said "it can not be something else but ..." which would perhaps be a more correct/less litteral translation from the dutch "niet anders zijn dan" or the french "rien d'autre qu".

Sorry my fault.

Ah no worries buddy. Your English is considerably better than my Flemish. ;-)
 
Has anybody actually succeeded in getting a real physical - i.e. hard cash return on their investment?

I hope so, the first poster expressing to be investing in bitcoin here did it in a post from 2013, he should atleast have seen his theoretical value increase by loads if he held for all those years, even be still firmly in profit in this downturn. As to actually pulling large sums of normal currency out of it, that i don't know. Gambling or not, i do hope the best for the people who commited here, and that they took their profit while they could.

That's what I'm getting at - Fair play to anyone whos made on it and good luck to em - its just that I've seen loads of stories/posts about people who bought in at such and such and its value is now at eye watering levels

but I've seen very little about anyone actually trousering some cash

Genuinely curious

Yeah i thought that you were more curious about that, i am kinda too as i havn't seen anoyone expressing how much they pulled out of it yet. I have seen posters claim it's easy to monitise in normal currency trough the trading platforms though and i believe they are right as long as it's in a bid/ask kind of way and the market is up for it. Basicly trading platforms allow people to trade with others between dollars and bitcoin and vice versa, so i presume that when youre selling you simply need to find a buyer (or volume) at the right price that is willing to offer the dollars. And if there isn't enough demand at that price then you sell lower if you still want to monetise and bitcoin goes lower with it. The day that all demand for bitcoin falls away however someone will be left with those 16 million bitcoins i guess. The reason why it looks a bit like a bubble or pyramid scheme is that in the past increased upticks had to come trough ever more buyers throwing themselfs on the coin, and then again it's also quite logical that bitcoin surged as it "suddently" (and deffinatly withought any outside promotion "cough*) became so popular to invest in. I guess we might have practicly reached the critical mass of people who would be up to stepping into this one i guess. In the end you take Bitcoin's max market cap of 200 billion $ and thats about for how much dollars all people spend in bitcoin and obviously those who had much of the stock at lower prices captured a lot of that and likely aint going to come back with it.

I do. I see high net worth clients that are serious investors.

The video refers to the QS’s and recruitment specialists, engineers and project managers and every other bloke that suddenly thought they’d found the answer to life’s ills in December.

Apologies if it hit a nerve.
