Stupid Profits in Bitcoin - Watch Suggestion Needed!
So I got on to the Bitcoin wagon on a whim 2 weeks back. When BTC was trading at 8,500. When it breached 10,000 - I bought some more!
With an average cost of $9,400, I had bought 4 bitcoins and 2 days back, when it hit $15,600 - I got out. It did run up to $18,500-$19,000 within 4 hours of my selling and also crashed back to $15,000 in the next few hours after that! Of course, I would have like to sell closer to the peak and made $37,000 - but I am thankful for what I made. So, end of story - I am sitting on a $24,800 profit in 2 weeks! Stupid money made out of thin air, which I don’t feel like I deserve to have made (I am a banker and advise others on their investments) But it was an exciting 2 weeks as I read up more on it, discussing and arguing with co-workers, evangelizing about its future! But a near $25K profit was enough for me to discard my bitcoin religion and move back to good ole fun things like watches! I am hoping to spend this money on a watch and have a good story to tell about my “Bitcoin Watch” - either look like an idiot or a genius in 5 years’ time! Watch Suggestions Needed, guys! My Current Collection The 2 Watches on my shortlist I have been meaning to add at some point in time have been - 1. The Hublot 45mm Spirit of Big Bang. Tonneau shape. Sporty looks. Well made. Jewel of a movement - Zenith El Primero. Grey Market Price of about $15k 2. The AP Royal Oak Offshore 44mm. The new Titanium version. Legendary maison. Legendary design. Ultimate weekend watch. Niggled by movement issues. Grey Market Price of about $25K - the almost exact amount of the profits made Do you have any other suggestions guys? Looking for - Bold Watches with wrist presence - Budget of $25K - Prefer to spend on complications rather than on Gold / Platinum - Am really keen to buy some “out there” watches like HYT, Urwerk, or similar. Realize that will be difficult in this budget - but am Ok with used too. Any other Bitcoin stories out there? |
