Something worth considering

Post by cswift01 »

If this is correct and the present correlation with Bitcoin persists (this very moment it's at a nose dive) then Monday we'll see a market loss:

It'll be interesting to see how this relationship develops and if it could work as a predictor for the stock market.

Enjoy!

My old roommate started buying bitcoin in 2011 to purchase items on Silk Road. When he started buying bitcoin, they were a few bucks each. At some point in 2013 they were valued at $1200. My god, if I only knew shit all about investing at the time. Once the frenzy started to build up, people were buying them like hotcakes. They reached $17.9k last year. Imagine having purchased 1K bitcoins @ $1 each. I hate even hearing the word.

Just found this article on Investopedia. If you invested $100 in Bitcoin in 2011, today it would be worth.... $3,357,965.
