If in great shape like in the photo, you'd be looking at $25000+ Going with the earlier posts in this thread, if you took that $350 and bought Apple stock with it, you’d still be better off. And none of the expenses to store/maintain/etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaleroad Train Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I remember thinking what a pack of losers were those people putting money into that newfangled idea called Bitcoin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crobar Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 One of my grandsons friends mentioned bitcoin to me in 2008, it was a dollar a coin. Didnt understand it then and hardly now, but damn a $1000 investment back then would have been worth 16 million when bitcoin topped out.

kloubek Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I was nervous about them taking Pettersson in 5th. I wanted Glass or Vilardi - both of which haven't exactly turned out. That was actually the draft that convinced me Benning and company were world-class talent assessors. In the end, he was decent, but some misses too. I also felt that signing LE and Ferland were both great things for our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICBC, BC Hydro, $330M interest free loan to an offshore developer with no stipulations, to name a few. Campbell sold them to a guy named Washington for peanuts, which they are being used.
