333% increase in 72 days, and you're acting like this is logical or a safe bet?

It's just gambling and speculation. Some will win, some will lose. It's fine if you jump on the train and play, but don't be surprised when the bubble pops.

But even if it pops, it will get back up some day. It sucks, but you get to keep your "lottery ticket".

True, so far no one who has bought bitcoin should have ever lost any money.

* bought and not sold

People lose money because they sell. Sometimes because they need to sell independently of what the price is doing.

Past performance projects future gains, right? ;)
