Reading an article on read.cash today, it is amazing to think that someone paid 10,000 Bitcoin for a pizza back in 2010. The article gets the Bitcoin price slightly wrong. It was actually 0.00649 cents when he did this. Nonetheless, I wonder what the pizza shop owner did with the Bitcoin, considering those 10,000 coins would now be worth $385 million, and at one point was worth nearly $700 million. It is just a staggering thought that just boggles my mind. https://read.cash/@Belozoriana/bchpizza-as-a-way-to-implement-bch-8f2581cc

Wow that huge..
Yes. Truly an astonishing amount now when you think about it.
Yeah it's true..back then bitcoin unknown to many and the value weren't that high.
And is there really someone who paid this? I wish you knew what the store owner did with this amount and tell us
Well ultimately, with fees included, what the guy actually paid for his pizza when he used Bitcoin was $67. But imagine being able to turn $67 into $385 million. Yeepers.
Haha I became very rich and traveled to America and met you and we established a joint business, but I am the general manager
Just like a woman. Always in charge. lol
😉😉😉😉😉😉
It does boggles the brain
I always have this idea that I was too late to the game when it comes to crypto. Something tells me my thinking that may be wrongheaded. I hope the latter is right. The only question is, who is the next eagle?
Imagine if you had that much bitcoin back in the day and you gave it all away because you didn't think that it will grow as much as it is today?
It is almost like a nightmare. lol
True. Can't believe, back in the day, they were giving out bitcoin as a reward for a third place finish in some contest.
For sure some people made some really good money who got in early.
Yup. Although, I believe that there is still money to be made in crypto.
I actually think there is too.
Well, I think anyone buying coins should get ready to just dump it in their wallets for years
That is not a bad plan, and one I will most likely adhere to, only yanking proceeds from interest earned and MAYBE some profits to reinvest into ETFs or other stocks. None of the money I keep in crypto is money that I need, so why touch it?
Can we have a discussion without at least adding stocks😃
No. It is THE #1 creator of wealth in history. It belongs in any discussion regarding money and wealth creation. 🤷♂️
Who says so? Is it mandatory, we just talked about leaving coins in wallets and you brought up stocks from no where, crazy!!!, lol.
Who says so? Go down the Forbes 400 list of the richest people in the world. What's the common thing? Business, and stock market. And of course business IS the stock market. Count those against anyone on the list that lists forex, if there are any, and then let's talk again. Business and stocks will always be THE way to make money over everything else. I am honestly looking at my balances and wondering, "Why is this guy even questioning me?" He's 20 something and I almost 50. I've been doing this a long time. I MIGHT know what I am talking about. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Lol, you are proud. Anyways we both don't know about each others bank account but all I can tell is that I trade some cool $200k daily
I trade millions annually. Has nothing to do with what the profits are. It's just how many times you were in and out of something with the same money. 🤷♂️
Annually?, but you'd never still become a billionaire 🥴 I have a daredevil who trades millions in a week on forex.
Still. Just numbers. What you trade doesn't matter. What you make on the trades is what matters.
But if I get a bad day we stay on $150k Very very bad day $50k with reds daily.
And I hate bragging about wealth, it's stupid and unreasonable to do so Anyways what I meant was who says you must bring up stocks in every conversation? You started telling me about richest men.
Because you keep telling me forex is the answer when clearly it is not. Wake up, man. lol
I didn't tell you forex is the answer I asked a question about forex and you told me sticks is the answer. The question I asked was far far different from what you answered.
I am simply telling you that stocks is where the money is. If you want to gamble with forex with proceeds from stocks, great. But it is not the place to START. That's the main gist of what I am saying.
Well I love your ideology on it. Just like people say data are better than dogs and some say dogs are better. You say real money is in stocks fine I say money is also in forex Real money. And I'll be a Billionaire soon
Good luck to you on your adventure. Very little you have ever said to me gives me any indication you are actually "in the know" about much. So, I take it all with a grain of salt. But I won't deny you any success you may achieve. I can't deny it's not fun talking to you though.
Lol, forbes all the way champ🛫🛫✈
I will be looking forward to seeing you on the list one day. Onward and upward.
Lol. Ok Don't forget I'd rub it on your face😂
What makes you think I will let you on my yacht to be able to do that?
Yeah, about that I changed my mind. I think I wouldn't get it anymore.
Besides, how does someone start thus stock stuff, how much have you made in a month from stocks.
You mean to tell me you are investor and don't know anything about stocks? You mean to tell me you are a trader and don't know the basics of stock investing? You mean to tell me that you know about investing but don't know what a stock is or how to invest? You have told me everything I need to know. I do not invest in all things. Precious metals, annuities, forex, crypto, stocks, real estate, the bonds market... But I can tell you something about what each thing is. Because each one offers a fundamental basis for understanding ALL things that are pertinent and essential to understanding how they have value. For example, if I were into forex, I could tell you a whole lot about the economies of Mexico, the United States, Europe, Russia, North Korea, South Korea, Jamaica, and whatever place. I could tell you about their industries, what their commodities are, and how much their people earn on an annual basis. Why? Because ALL of these things are important to know if I want to make an educated decision on what their currency is going to do. Which is what forex is. All things are related. No matter what you are investing in. I tend to think you do not know this.
Lol, funny as people just study charts and make money without knowing all the economies, commodities, etc But still when I started trading I never knew about stocks investment or so I was just concentrated on how to get better at anticipating market moves and I did without knowing how to invest in stocks I made my first $1m up to $10m still without knowing stocks investments not until now. It's not necessary, don't force it. You can trade forex without having a tips bit about stocks investment.
I disagree. Economies and markets infuence currencies. If you made $1 miilion to $10 million, that's great. Had you know about the influencers of the forex market you'd have made $1 billion to $10 billion. 🤷♂️
From where? When I never had a billion. That's why forex is best again to start just $10 could get you a thousand in a week.
Perhaps so. I mean, anything is possible. Not everything is likely. But anything is possible.
Anyways how's it going champ!!!
Swell. lol
What are the legalities of stock trading, like what does it mean?
I don't know what you mean.
Okay, I thought you'd know better
I will read your article. Hope you like it.Because the previous articles you wrote were also very beautiful. Good night dear ❤️
