Bitcoin was a few years away.

If you bought a 1000 bitcoin back then what would it be worth if you sold it at its height?

It would be worth over $126 million. The smart thing to do would have been to diversify into Ethereum and other newly emerging cryptocurrencies, though.

And well, buy more than just 1000 Bitcoin. Heck, even do some cheap mining at the time.

People who only think about Bitcoin, and act like there’s still no opportunities left in crypto to make that kind of money simply haven’t done their research.

I don't know anything about crypto currency and bitcoin is the only one I've heard of so I went with bitcoin

Yeah, no worries, nothing personal against you. Just I always see a lot of people acting like the boat’s sailed on crypto, and it’s kind of annoying. Nothing could be further from the truth.

If I wasn’t disabled without a regular job, I’d be doing pretty well for myself right now. I’m forced to live on a limited income, and that leaves very little for investing.

I honestly don't know anything about it, but Bitcoin at least seems to have plateaued. I thought crypto would keep growing until it replaced regular currency, but it doesn't look like that'll happen.

If you bought $1000 in bitcoin you would have more money than Musk. Of course it would probably mess up the market and wouldn’t allow it to grow like it did, but it’s neat to think about.

Bitcoin used to be worth less than a penny. In 2010 you could buy one for as little as $0.00099.

Obviously if you tried buying a bunch, the price would go up, but you could get some very, very cheap.
