    If someone bought Bitcoin in early 2016 for $400 and sold right at the peak in Dec 2017 for $20,000, they'd only have managed 5,000%.

    But you're up 22,000% even though you rode crypto all the way to the bottom?

    Wow.
    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

      So, you've got over £2.2m now?

      £10,000 * 22,000% = £2.2m

        It was a penny share then so huge in the 1000’s%..did Scooter buy it at sub 1p?

        It’s up for sale though now, so I guess people know its worth.

        Good luck with your investment.

            I think I can hear scoots checking his workings.



            I suspect the 5 figures includes those after a decimal point.

              Stellar lumens was the bulk of it - I got lucky - still hold on to a few million of them. Did not know what I was doing back then for sure.

                I've spent quite a bit already.

                Got kids to feed and they're hungry.

                  ..and of course you have absolutely zero proof of any of this?

                  Hungry kids, but you’re gambling £250,000-£300,000 away with a PUT and millions in Stellar crypto.

                  ..anyway Whorty, I’m up 0.5% today

                  If I had Scooters 2.2m that would be £11,000 up. Nice day rate.

                    No wonder they're hungry. Poopsies feed them imaginary food he's bought with his imaginary crypto. Let's hope they're imaginary kids for the full Walter Mitty effect.

                      Thanks and to you with yours. It's not an investment, it's "an interest" - I got lucky ~12 months ago...
