I will never forgive myself.

I've always looked for "the next big thing" when I feel like I missed out, when I should have just bought in.

In college in 2010 I thought bitcoin maxed out. I stayed up learning about some "DarkCoin" bullshit. Never even bought i.

In 2013 I invested in a some company on scottrade that was involved in bitcoin, not bitcoin itself....

Goes to show you need some self-awareness. Just because you weren't an early adopter doesn't mean you can still "make it"

Yep, same here. Day after Thanksgiving, 2015 and my IT friend back home (pretty much best friend) said he was investing in Bitcoin. Me, "oh really? How much is worth now?" "Like $300." "Seriously?Well it seems like I missed out". "It used to be worth like $1000. And there are other coins like Litecoin is like $3 and (probably he said) Ethereum is a dollar "."Well why would there be other coins?" He was explaining stuff for like half an hour. I was literally buying a house at the moment so, while I thought it sounded interesting I wasn't going to spend $300 on some weird internet coin. And usually I'm a risk taker. Next I heard of it was almost exactly two years later when I heard it was almost going to pass 10k. I will never get over it. I do own Link now, but not really enough and at least one full BTC.
