Bitcoin (BTC) in 2 Months vs. Iraqi Dinar (IQD) in 5 Years

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Funny story, a couple months ago I invested $22.00 in bitcoin just to try it out (it was actually all money I made from steemit posts, so it literally cost me nothing beyond the time it takes to post on steemit). Today it is worth over $32.00. Of course, that's not a crazy amount of money, but had I invested a couple thousand, that would have been an increase of a thousand dollars.

Contrasting that, about five or six years ago I invested $80.00 and bought 100,000 Iraqi dinar (for those of you around conspiratorial circles back then, you probably remember what that was all about). Today my 100,000 dinar is worth about $84.00, so about a four dollar increase.

A four dollar increase from 80 dollars over five years compared against a ten dollar increase from 22 dollars over two months. Of course, these things are tricky and not always consistent, but I was thinking about that today after checking my financial investments and I thought that was kind of funny.

What's your investment story?

Sort:  

a friend bet on the sport, for 1 month everything is gain as little as it (about 100euro) he bought ether with it said it does not cost me anything it was 22euros meintenat average it is At 254 euros I can tell you that he does not regret! ;)

Absolutely, I will likely be investing in ETH and LTC as well

All are good long-term holds imo. Don't obsess or panic sell when they drop to half of their high occasionally. The future market cap and number of ppl coming into crypto (so new money) will li kely be unimaginably huge within three years from now.

That is good advice and I totally agree, thank you :)
