Back in 2011 I bought 100 at $20 each. Price went up to $30 and then dropped to $8 before I sold. I thought it was another "tulip" and would go to $1 so I got out before it went down too far. Felt like a fool.

In 2013 I read an article where China was buying half the bitcoins up from something like 5% a year before so I bought $10k worth at $300 per bitcoin. Kept buying when it went up to $1000 and then crashed.

I was able to buy $10k worth of Quark coin and that went nuts upward but peaked out at 30 cents per coin and then went down to 10 cents per coin until I cashed out. I drank the Kool Aid on that one but I made a good profit from where I first bought it. I'm not at liberty in a public forum to say how much I made but I used the profits to make a down payment on my house.
