I have a little over $12 worth of Bitcoin (at the current market value) from 21.co. I'm not a speculator, investor, etc but am interested in the blockchain.<p>What do I do with such a small amount of Bitcoin?
When you're dealing with such a small amount of money, my best advise would be to keep it as Bitcoin. The worst that could happen is it crashes and you're out $12. If it goes up in value, you're up whatever that ends up being.<p>I think of my own story ... I had mined about 25 bitcoin back in (I think) 2009, when each was worth (I think) a penny. My interest was purely academic -- I love this kind of thing, I thought the idea was neat[0]. I had a major OS failure and decided to reinstall, wiping the drive and my wallet. At today's prices, I'm out $135,000[1]. Whoops! You never know...<p>[0] Though promptly tossed it into the category of cypherpunk fantasy -- while everything that was claimed about it "could happen", back then it seemed more likely that my dog would write Shakespeare.<p>[1] Referring to #0, I would have ended up selling that 25 bitcoin when it hit around $10, assuming that making $250 would be pretty incredible. There's no way, short of removing that drive and storing it, forgetting about it and realizing the error "yesterday" that I would still have had those Bitcoin.
You can get a pizza today.<p>In 2010, a programmer paid 10000BTC for two pizzas. <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-pizza-day-celebrating-pizza-bought-10000-btc/" rel="nofollow">https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-pizza-day-celebrating-pizza...</a><p>Hopefully in future you won't regret buying a pizza with 0.0016 BTC. :-)
