Some guys have all the balls

That thread is 4 years old. If he is still long he is up bigly!
$30,000/14 he would have bought about 2140 bitcoins...

2140 x $4697 = $10,051,580
 
This year is year 1 of the legalization of Bitcoin in many Asian countries, so you can disregard all prior charts. I'm buying more BTC today along with ETH.

"Just had a client liquidate his entire IRA to put 100% of the proceeds into Bitcoin. What are the odd this turns out to be a wise move?"

Man, that is one ballsy move. I recall a guy on Reddit a few years back, he maxed out his credit cards and bought BTC. The price was around $250 or so. I am not sure what happened to him eventually, I think once he doubled he paid back some of the credits...

Here is the original thread:

"In every boom companies are formed primarily if not exclusively to take advantage of the public's appetite for all kinds of stocks. Also there are belated promotions. The reason why promoters make that mistake is that being human they are unwilling to see the end of the boom. More over, it is good business to take chances when the possible profit is big enough. The top is never in sight when the vision is vitiated by hope. The average man sees a stock that nobody wanted at twelve dollars or fourteen dollars a share suddenly advance to thirty - - which surely is the top until it rises to fifty. That is absolutely the end of the rise. Then it goes to sixty; to seventy; to seventy-five. It then becomes a certainty that this stock, which a few weeks ago was selling for less than fifteen, can't go any higher. But it goes to eighty; and to eighty-five. Whereupon the average man, who never thinks of values but of prices, and is not governed in his actions by conditions but by fears, takes the easiest way he stops thinking that there must be a limit to the advances. That is why those outsiders who are wise enough not to buy at the top make up for it by not taking profits. The big money in booms is always made first by the public-on-paper. And it remains on paper."

Great quote!
Is it from Reminiscences of a Stock Operator?
 
Bitcoin is going to come crashing down.

Nothing in history even remotely looks like that chart -- and has sustained it, o_O

Bet the farm on put options, and clean up...the reward from that will make its rise look like peanut returns,

Flip that chart around and you get:
