    I had to check, I never knew Ethereum got that high. It’s apparently at 3,600 right now. It passed 4000 twice, hasn’t dropped to 1,000 after those but looked like it was at 1800 or something after the crash in 2021.

    They had to buy at its absolute peak. Sheesh. Guess if they sell now they only lose like 10%.

          1,000 x 365 ,000 = 1,000,000 every three years so as long as crypto market doesnt collapse you will die a multimillionaire. You’ll also live broke, but that’s just something you have to accept.

          Edit: there are 365 days in a year, not 365,000. My mind went like 1,000 x 365 = 365,000 = a third of a million. Or a million every three years.

            Something is amiss there. Your years seem about a thousand times too long

            I’ve reviewed my budget and decided this is do-able. 1,000 rials a day till I die.

            If I live for 40 years more, and it doubles in value, I’ll have $695 when I die!

              Somehow i assumed you were talking about dollars or euros. I have heard of this strategy (dollar cost averaging) by buying the same amount on a frequent basis. But i myself would be inclined to spread the risks too though. Best of luck accumulating that $695 though!

        If you never sell it’s a 100% loss since you can never use that money for anything ever.

          Yeah, it’s funny that people say no loss until you sell. I get the joke but they’re ignoring that under that definition the purchase was a loss lol.
