Same here. Also bought bitcoin 2013 and lost the key. I'm happy I only bought one, not ten. Always look on the bright side of life fren.

welcome to the fan-club of Cpt. Hindsight. He is always right you know. 20/20 without exception.

Since you can do fuck all about the past now, there is little point in agonising over it. Knowing about bitcoin does not equal opportunity to invest in it - one has to have capital, time, conviction and so on. Also there is no way of telling when you'd have sold along the way, you could have been another Greg, you know that moron who moaned about selling btc for 6 bucks or something when it hit 12 using his full facebook ID. Now he's become a meme, he must be seriously suicidal now, if he's still alive.

Forget about the past, you can't change it anywa, learn from it if you can and try to make it in the future.

Same. I remember reading a thread on a forum (remember those) completely unrelated to anything remotely to do with finance where two people were debating bitcoin and I just kind of flipped through it and posted how I thought since "it's not backed by anything" that it was worthless. I was so fucking stupid. We all were. If we just took the 30 minutes or so to wrap our heads around it we could have made it.

Like you said though, there's also a good chance I would have fucked it up in the 7-8 years since its inception. Losing coins, losing shit on Gox, etc. There are lots of people that actually HAD a fuckton of bitcoin and were not holding to cash in on it in 2017. That's true pain.

>i knew about it
>complains about not getting rich

if you truly knew about it and understood its value than you would have invested. Just get over the fact that you're a retard, who never deserved to escape wageslavery.

>had 25BTC in altcoins during bullrun
>did not sell
>currently 2BTC
>just.jgp

literally everyone has a "heard about bitcoin but didn't buy" story

you aren't special, get over it. buy now or shut up.

You're fucking stupid if you don't think there's opportunities just like Bitcoin emerging right now.

All you faggots talk about wanting to kys...just do it you useless faggot. Your life isn’t gonna get better

>>13145243
i was too young and naive desu

>>13145269
yeah but most of them are lying where as i'm not

>>13145180
fucking everyone on this board knew about bitcoin in 2011 retard. nobody bought in cause it was super low cap with little reason to believe it would ever be worth anything. only the delusional bought in the early days....people who actually believed that you could make a new currency and have it replace fiat. obviously that's never going to happen, but they got rich off their delusion as a side effect, cause it turns out btc is great for other reasons. (speculative investing and base currency for flipping shitcoins).
Also, I knew about bitcoin in 2009, even cloned the mining software from the messy repo at the time and tried to get set up mining. gave up and forgot about it. it doesn't matter what happened in the past, if you want to make it, you gotta play the next round, stop playing over the last one in your head.

>>13145286
Yeah, it's called bitcoin

>>13145286
This.

Keep your ears and eyes open. You'll hear about the shit first on /g/ or /biz/. If it sounds retarded and like no one would ever want anything to do with it, then buy it.

I managed a computer lab in college when I first heard about bitcoin in 2011. I listened for ten minutes, didn’t get it, and went back to fingerbanging Susie Q Rottencrotch through her pink panties and doing drugs. I spent two summers managing and reimaging computers. I could have mined an unbelievable amount of BTC. It’s ok, anon. Life goes on. You are still in the West, presumably. You have an internet connection and a voice. Your life will be cool if you don’t give into your envy.

>>13145582
Yeah, I remember that shit.

>>13145180

>>13145180
Yeah, I laughed at BTC from 2010-2016.
Life's regret.

>>13145180
>made a shitcoin in 2013 with potential investors
>i was promised 2k EUR per month (6 month project) + infrastructure expenses for server, websites, etc + early mining
>multiplatform wallets ready
>crypto ready
>testnet ready
>dedicated social media and graphic guy

We did not get paid, and we never launched the mainnet

I was a student and I was poor as fuck, no crypto holdings until mid 2017.

JUST

2.8 BTC and 15 ETH on August 2017
3.8 BTC and 15 ETH on September 2017
...bullrun...
...not selling...JUST...
...buy the dip...
8 BTC, 100ETH, 35 ZEC

Finally ready for 2022 (I plan to accumulate 2 more BTC)

>>13145180
hah get over yourself you faggot. i knew about bitcoin in 2010 and even got offered to mine it but didn't and then didn't buy into it until december 2017.

>>13146849
This anon gets it. The time to buy is now and you'll make it in the next ten years. I'm currently sitting on 2 BTC, 32 ETH, 40,000 XRP and another 3 BTC spread between low cap alts and I'm accumulating more. If you have 30-50K in before the next golden bull you're going to be a millionaire.

>>13145212
Similar story as me, although replace confido with the Neo&Bee scam

I spent hundreds of bitcoin on weed cuz I thought you were supposed to use currency as a medium of exchange LOL what a retard

>>13146993
>40k xrp

anon.... i....

I HATE ALL OF YOU FAGGOTS AND ESPECIALLY OP

I DIDNT JUST HEAR ABOUT IT IN 2011 I FUCKING BOUGHT IT IN 2011 AND NOT FOR DRUGS, NO! I BOUGHT IT TO GET RICH, AND HERE I AM 8 YEARS LATER AND STILL NOT RICH

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

if you knew about bitcoin before 2016 just fuck you and your mom and your father you deserve to be poor

the first time I heard about Bitcoin it was in mid-2017 in my fucking ghetto and a muslim told me he was able to buy pizza with Bitcoins he scammed on the dark web, literally the worst thing I could hear about cryptos and this guy ended up in jail after that

I thought Bitcoin was like paypal or allopass or something like that

FUCK YOU ALL EARLY LISTENERS

I bought a lot of xanax and modafinil with bitcoin
Even told some dealers to get into it
But because I was still in school I couldn't find a job. Now I'm a full time office wagecuck and I'm putting everything I have into crypto until 2023

>>13145180
Don't feel too bad desu I owned Bitcoin in the $200s range years ago and sold it all, only to come back to it when it was at $2700....feelsbadman.bat

>>13147011
lol

>>13145212
At least you had research chemicals

>>13145180
Spent 10 bitcoins at ~€100 a pop at the silk road for weed and other things. Had 1BTC in 'cold storage' that I sold at 2k because I needed money. Saw Ethereum ICO but I didn't understand it so I was like nah I'll figure it out later. (later never came) Had 1K monero in Mintpal and was too lazy at the moment to figure out the CMD wallet, stalled it at Mintpal around November 2014 when I went to Mexico on holiday. In December they got hacked..

In the end I got around €3k from random shitcoins such as blackcoin, redcoin and NXT that I had left during the 2017 EOY bullrun.
Bought full 50% REQ at 25cent, 50% LINK at 80cent.

I am such a retard desu. I will never make it. I just want 50k or something so I can get a mortgage easier.

You know what the best part is? You retards will either find excuses not to buy the bottom (which is coming in the next winter) or when you do you are gonna get hacked, rekt by shitcoin greed or sell prematurely at 3x gain instead of 10x

>>13145180

I squandered a 20k xrp airdrop.
