Nice carry piece! I think I lost one or two oz by keeping them in my wallet over time. But I added to my stack, picking up another 2013 Oz for the low price of $56 CAD plus 5.50 so it was about $62 CAD. The last one I bought, was at 51.95++ = $57.45. Im sure that was the 2025, I see these two here-- one has Queen Elizabeth looking right, and the 2025 has King Charles looking left. It's like they are looking at eachother.
I wanted to buy some BTC this summer, but whenever I went to the machine, it would spit the bills back out. I was sweating, wondering if I would get my $100 bill back, but eventually it ejected. No wonder there's slow BTC adoption, its still hard to get! Everyone says, 'in 2011 such an amount of Bitcoin would be worth x today', but back then you couldn't just buy BTC at the corner store. We are lucky today, that it has become relatively easy.
Most of my silver stack came from the previous 2 bitcoin rallies. I sold to buy silver, in hind sight, I should have just locked away the bitcoin. But, cant beat myself up over the past. I lost about $500 to a machine here, but I had the hash, and the company had it straightened out right away, but yeah, a bit worried for a while.
It's hard to call the top, and letting go of BTC always carries the risk of not buying it back. I wish I had the cash to buy more when it dipped to $22k again, if BTC bottoms at $60k or $70k this cycle we should take it as last chance to stack sats below 100k, as the future seems to be the blockchain. But as I always say, silver in the hand is worth a wheelbarrow of cash. Keeping a balanced portfolio of sound money, silver, gold, bitcoin, hive, is always a good idea. Here they are!
