[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 397999, member: 1674"]you're missing the point Ryan. No one is saying that one can't make money in coins, what we are saying is that average people off the street with 50k to invest stand almost no chance of making money, which is what the OP was asking about. You clearly don't fit into the "completely unkowlegable outsider who wants to invest in coins" category. In fact the long list above of things you do to make money in coins (combing through numerous auctions and classified ads, etc.) are exactly the things dealers do to make money, but newbies never do, they just aren't well enough seasoned to know when they are getting a good deal or not. The point isn't that you can't make money, it is that there are so many expensive pitfalls that the uninitiated has almost no chance of success.[/QUOTE]
