I just had another crazy thought. If the people who started the kick starter for Star Citizen had used half of the funds and purchased Bitcoin at $12.00 each and sold now, they would have made 9.3 Billion. Imagine the game you could make or fuck up with 9 Billion.

I still have my e-mails to guy I used to work with.

"bitcoin is at 8k now, its a dip, you should buy". (he had 50k available at the time)

He invested in traditional products and continued to be poor. I only ever told him to buy BTC, nothing else.

People are retarded with their money.
It's all relative. I remember when Bitcoin hit $25k or so and was all over the news. There was an interview with some Norwegian guy who had bought $25 worth back when it was new when he was doing a school report on it. At the time of the interview he had sold most of his bitcoin and bought an apartment in the most luxurious part of Oslo. Pretty good ROI at the time, but hindsight is 20/20 and who knows if he regrets not holding.

Still, if we're going to reminisce on bad bitcoin sales, never forget the guy who bought two pizzas for 20k Bitcoin. Fuckin legend.

10k coins, worth $40 at the time. what is even worse for him, he spent another 75k to 100k coins after that.

I wonder how many of their backers actually give a damn about S42, I've spent some money on Star citizen and bought a few ships, and I've got a few hundred hours or so in the PTU, for me personally I couldn't give a fuck about S42 and think it's gonna flop hard.

I've got a couple of ships back when it launched originally because my group was doing it and the pedigree was there, but I never really cared about S42. Sure it was a game we were all going to get to play bundled with it, but we were in it for the space pirate MMO angle. I've always thought it was a misappropriation of resources for the main game. Now I know it's probably just money laundering. We all expected it was going to launch and 3 or 4 years. I mean at this point it's got to be 15 years maybe, it's not longer?

At this point I really don't care, but if there's a class action lawsuit, I'm going to get my $150 back.

BIG TIME, especially when you consider they do dumb shit like this.

Can't imagine how much the budget for the game gets bloated (wasted) by hiring movie and TV stars to voice characters in the game.

I just reloaded the game but haven’t been able to see what has changed since 2014…..can we even take any of the ships we purchased out? Was so looking forward to this being a Starlight space sim 11 years ago

Yeah there's two systems you can explore and do pve/pvp missions in, you can run cargo or mine, do pve mercenary stuff or pvp bounties on players with crime stats. there's a good chunk of stuff to keep you occupied for a little while. Also the Stanton system is "pve" but you can still get pvp'd but people who attack you will get crime stats and will be locked out of all but one location for landing, and the go to jail if they die with a crime stat, the Pyro system is full free for all.
