Kakashi2020 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Let's say it's 2010, and someone offered you Bitcoin would you have bought it? The value back then was $0.008. Now the value is at around $9000-$10,000. But who could ever imagine that it's value would appreciate like that, would you have invested in it in 2010?

Henrywrites Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 To be honest with you, I would have had some sceptical mind about getting Bitcoin back in those days and I don't think you would have blamed me for doing so. However, the rise of bitcoins has opened our eyes to see that when opportunities come knocking, the best we could do is to take it up instead of doubting as long as the prospect of success is higher.

Martinsx Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The truth is that I was invited to invest in Bitcoin around that same time after Bitcoin was launched in 2009 but I felt it wasn't something trustworthy to invest in. What is digital currency was my question back then, I never believed it would have reached to the extent it has today because I would made a lot of money had I taken the opportunity to invest when I was told. 1 Quote Link to comment https://slingbank.com/forums/topic/380-if-it-was-2010-and-someone-offered-you-bitcoin-then-woul-you-have-bought-it/#findComment-687 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us had those doubts back then when it was new, but I am happy that I began some years ago as well for I have made some money since I began trading on Bitcoin and it was a decision that I won't regret.

You are very correct @Henrywrites, most people had fear of investing in Bitcoin when it was launched in 2009 and most of us have come to regret that decision or choice because Bitcoin have become a revelation of the best investment one can get into.

Honestly, it was one of the worst business decision that I have taken in life to the extent that I wonder how rich I would have been even if I had invested a little bit of my money into the Bitcoin market.

EfficientNinja Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 No, I wouldn't. Aside from me still being a high school student at that time, I don't have my own money to spend on things like cryptocurrency. It is also not that known yet and I would consider someone offering me Bitcoin as a scammer that targets those who don't know anything about Bitcoin.

NerdIndeed Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Positively yes, if I only knew. Heck if I knew that it would significantly increase in value, I might have invested thousands of dollars in it. I envy those who did.

JPK0007 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well, i was never offered Bitcoin at that time. Would i have accepted Bitcoins if they were offered to me? I think most probably i would have refused them at that time. The only reason is that i did not know anything about the concept of Cryptocurrency at that time. I would have obviously refused the offer and would also have given the person a big lecture about being careful while investing his hard earned money.
