“I had bitcoin to experiment with and when it shot up high, I said, ‘I don’t want to become one of those people that watches it, watches it and cares about the number.’ I don’t want that kind of care in my life,” Wozniak says to an audience at the Nordic Business Forum in Sweden on January 24.
Me too. I’m also keeping a healthy reserve if it dips much lower. Market is trading sideways right now. I don’t expect it to do much until after Feb 16th.
Where is Mr. Chamath’s wisdom now? Like Peter Thiel, he’s merely a VC who got lucky a few times. They have been wrong before and can be wrong again. Nobody’s perfect…
It is amazing how many bitcoin supporters on Facebook are convinced in a collapse of fiat currencies. Same kind of bears as in 2009. Being bearish is a dumb investment philosophy. Investors should be optimistic. If not just be a consumer. Live for the minute. Invest in sex drugs and rocknroll
VCs are wrong 80% of the time. I don’t get why people always think they are the smartest investors. The most noted ones hit 1 moon shot in their career then spend the rest of their life trying to replicate it and being wrong.
Bloggers here are Johnny come late, don’t tease them. It seems they are in less than a year ago. We don’t know what will happen 10 years from now, the one who might make a million dollars from crypto could be @ptiemann. I wonder how hard is to crack the encryption. Is it easy to steal gold from Mt Gox or crack the encryption of crypto?
Below $7k, within the worthwhile tradable zone!
I can’t see the future Replacing gold with bitcoin as a storage of value is a great idea but I’m not sure about the encryption won’t be cracked. Pretty sure when the reward is high enough, someone is smart enough to crack it.
Why put labels on people? Anyone can be smart on certain things regardless of their occupations or even education levels. VC can be smart on some things and dumb on others.
Defending yourself or the VCs? Just a tease, don’t be so serious, everything also want to defend . Agree with your “answer” though don’t understand why is the answer to your question
