Ah to be able to go back in time…

15 years ago, if you did the responsible thing & bought $10,000 of 'risk-free' long-term Treasuries, you'd have $11,072 today.

If instead you spent $9,995 on drugs & $5 on bitcoin, you'd have $42,778 today. pic.twitter.com/GGE7k78t4L

This isn't a hypothetical.
But it is going back in time . . .

9 years ago I invested $155,000 on a Medical Diagnostic Company that was trading at $9 a share.
I was fascinated by their unique ability to detect cancer reoccurrence from a simple blood draw with 99.6% specificity.

That $155,000 is now worth $5.9 Million.

Not bad for a kid that only scored 1,000 on his SAT and went to public schools in a middle class town.

GO BEARS!

To try to steer this back in a way so that it is relevant to the topic of Bitcoin, how much money would you have if you had invested $155,000 in Bitcoin 15 years ago?

Interestingly enough, at the beginning of 2017, Bitcoin was under $1K. By the end of 2017, it was near $20K. In 2012, Bitcoin was between $5 and $10.

Sorry, but I don't deal in "could have, should have, would have" hypotheticals.
It's a total waste of time.

Paper trading doesn't make me money.

Please get back to somehow making money and not completely wasting time by repeatedly spending more time bragging about your possessions than it would take to do this simple math calculation.

I had another great day today.
Back to back days like this.

Thanks for asking!
