Looking as bitcoin crossed the $50k mark earlier today I was increasingly motivated to find my old stash of bitcoins back from 2012 when few people had even heard this was a thing. I recall it was the time where Mt Gox was the only real exchange around and we crowded on IRC channels as well as bitcointalk.org. In 2012 I cashed out 120 bitcoins for a grand total of 1.6k usd - which will remain the worst 'investment' ever for the remainder of my life time.

On another note, today I was scanning all my old wallet backups and found 0.04 bitcoin, worth about 2k USD!!!

I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
