Finally got on the bitcoin train

Wanted to get this off my chest. I've stumbled across bitcoin when it was around 0.22 cents (you read that correct). Back then most people mined from their computer, not a dedicated rig. Never thought it would be where it is today, I felt most countries would view bitcoin as a threat to their currency. Then there were all the hacks, mtgox, missing bitcoins, bitcoins found, etc. and I thought that was it for bitcoin. Today as I'm looking at geopolitics, the only real choice for financial security is bitcoin. I have traded in and out a few time before (swing trades) but this time I'm a holder, no longer planning on selling, ever. So far only about 20% of my portfolio is in bitcoin however I'm looking to transition to 100% over time. Just wanted to share my story and apologise for being so wrong about bitcoin over the years. However this community has made me see the light and I'm greatful. Questions or advice welcomed. submitted by /u/stonks2rkts [link] [comments]
