    You'd need almost 10K now to purchase those 2 ounces of gold...

    If I was sitting on a large quantity of bitcoins I'd be very nervous. :o

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    I'm in the nervous camp. I've never owned any, but if I did I would have cashed out a long time ago.

    Regarding my original post two months ago, after careful consideration I think I would prefer having one Bitcoin rather than two 1-ounce Gold Eagles.

    So, for all the people that "have" bitcoin(s), at what point and how do they profit from this whole run up?

    I can just deposit cash from my bank account to buy on Gemini, or sell Bitcoin and send the cash back to my bank.

    I bought one Bitcoin a few months ago at 2.5K with play money out of curiosity. I'm astounded by what's happening. Since I don't have any pressing need the money or for the original investment, I'm just letting it ride.

    Can you sell a fraction of your bitcoin?

    YES! That's the beauty of it. All cryptos are fractional currency. Some up to 18 decimal places. I sold .18 Bitcoins last night for USD. I'm holding that cash on the exchange to buy back on a (hopeful) dip. Or, I could've transferred the cash to my bank account, much like you do with money on Paypal.
    Bitcoin fractionals are out to 8 decimal places. (.00000001).
    So, if you wanted to buy $1000 worth of Bitcoin at $15,000 BTC price, you would get .06666667 BTC in return to deposit into your Bitcoin wallet.

    Whenever you want to I guess, You can buy stuff with Bitcoin, or just cash it out for fiat and have it deposited in your bank account. Or buy silver and gold with it thru a dealer that takes cryptos. If you're very conservative, cash out your initial investment and let the rest roll.

    Does anyone know anyone who has or has sold bitcoin? I really do not understand how it is worth so much.

    Yes. I know a fellow who bought a physical Bitcoin when Bitcoin was $100. He paid $150 for it. (2013)

    He wanted to trade for 24 ounces of gold a while back. Bitcoin was at $52k this past six months and had gone up to $60k +.
    My CFO ( and wife) said "no". I passed. He used it with an online gold broker and received 220 tenth ounce gold coins ( eagles and maple leaf) plus $400 face value in Walking Liberty halves. He purchased the coin in 2013 for $150 and Flipped it in '21 for $52k in silver and gold.

    Great ROI

    The volatility is there, for sure. If you can stand the volatility and risk of total loss, cryptos are still a possible speculative bet.

    I purchased some Crypto through Paypal, $100 each of Bitcoin, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash, collectively it's worth $231.21. This probably isn't the way to expose yourself to Crypto, just wanted to dabble in it. Are the recent events surrounding Evergrande going to impact Cryptocurrencies?
