I did cash out 40 bitcoins for $600 each way back in the day which seems like a horrible mistake, but almost all of my coin was sitting in BTC-e so I guess it’s a good thing that I got something out of it.
As for now, I am making daily income through cryptocurrency (Steem/dmania/neo/smartcash/ethereum once staking starts) but I don’t cash it out to pay for anything yet. I am still in the reinvest phase so in a few years when Steem is $50-$100+ a piece, I will be able to make lots of residual income. My goal is 10,000 steem power and I am about 60 percent there!
I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Steem and some of the other cryptos I own. I feel pretty confident that 10,000 SP will make me a millionaire one day and provide me with residual income to where I never have to worry about another 9-5.
Also, I have 700 Steem Dollars that I do plan on spending towards a down payment on a house within the next few months if the price gets back to the 6-10 range. I’m just waiting for the right time to sell.
You have a very optimistic outlook for the future :) I hope it all pans out for you. Sucks about the 40 BTC at $600 :/
