Fingerbanging the last of the emo girls

>>49331889
was too young unfortunately, when i did know, i was already priced out

>>49331889
I was 10 years old anon

>>49331889
Oh, but I did.

>>49331889
I was in college and thought it was a scam until 2017.

>>49331957
Fuck you, this pic brings back memories, god I wish I was young again. Fuck.

I was mining Bitcoin. Unfortunately I sold them.

>>49331889
>What the fuck were you doing in 2010
Dropping out of school and reading about the mayan calendar.

>>49332097
Were you the guy that threw 7500 btc on the trash for his girlfriend?

>>49331889
I was in college trying to graduate. I invested in Bank of America and made $500 after buying the bottom following the ‘08 crash. I didn’t even hear about crypto until 2015-2016

Last year of primary school. Was probably playing football in the sunshine in a world that wasnt totally fucking crazy

>>49331889
I was looking at guitar tabs and wishing I had the confidence to speak to girls

I was poor and thought it was a scam

>>49331889
I was neeting.
Still am (unemployable now).

College like a good goyim. The only guy I knew that talked about Bitcoin back then was unironically schizophrenic and probably lost all of his corn trying to bribe demons to save him from the voices

>>49331889
Back in 2011 I built a small website for someone and he offered to pay me in Bitcoin instead of paypal - it would have been around 120-150 BTC.

I asked him to pay me via paypal instead.

I live with that decision every day.

>>49331889
I WAS BROKE, MOTHERFUCKER.

>>49331889
Felt like a scam.

It still does feel like a scam.

>>49331889
>What the fuck were you doing in 2010
Watching homestarrunner and playing Duke 3D
>and why didnt you buy any Bitcoins?
I had never heard about bitcoin at that point. Heck, my steam friends had just introduced me to this new thing called "minecraft" at the time.

>WAAAAAAAAH IF ONLY I BOUGHT BITCOIN SUPER EARLY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
guess what you'd probably sell it way too early like 99.99% of the people that bought it at that time

>>49331889
you all would've sold and bought stupid shit anyways, be happy you got into it already and learned from mistakes

>16
>getting drunk and hooking up with 16 year old bitties
>playing fruit ninja in class from my classmates' ipod touch

This

I was 17 years old with absolutely no money farting around in garrys mod and jerking off to furry porn

>>49331889
I was posting on /b/ drunk.
Now I do not drink, nor do I post on or visit /b/.

>>49331889
I was 13.
I asked my mom to buy me bitcoin but she said no.

I was a depressed and poor neet back then.

>>49331889
I was 10. I was interested in dogecoin in 2015 though, when my dad offered me $500 to be used learning about stocks. I said I wanted to learn about crypto instead and instead of showing businessman dad the bitcoin white paper I showed him the dogecoin video competition and he got pissed and gave me no money. $500 in doge then peaked at $2mil recently.

>>49332691
And now?

>>49332351
100 bucks would have been great to just sit on, what's a hundred? Imagine 100 bucks and just holding on to btc when it was a dollar.
Imagine the gainz.

>>49332501
>guess what you'd probably sell it way too early like 99.99% of the people that bought it at that time
No.
I'm still holding on to my laptop that I saved BTC on, it was filling out surveys for like .000002 btc or some crazy shit.
Could be worth something.

>>49332698
I've learned skills that have earned me money and boosted my self-esteem and somewhat made a life for myself since then.

>>49331889
I didnt hear about it until like 2012 and i didnt understand it so i didnt buy until 2017 after further research.

>>49332739
Such as?

I was a sophomore in high school and there were no exchanges. So if you wanted some you had to send money to a stranger and hope they sent it to you. I had a friend who kept telling me about it after it hit a dollar. I didn't think anything like this would happen. I probably would have sold way too low so I'm not too beat up. Missing it sucks but I probably would have an heroed if I sold at 50.

>>49332700
I mean it’s easy to say shit like that now when btc’s ath was almost 70k, but back then btc was widely regarded as a meme, literally internet funny money.

>>49331889
i had no money and was a young teenager although i did have some BTC that got thrown into SR.
but that value even today is nothing compared to what i lost on LUNA.

>>49331889
My guildmate in WoW was selling BOE epics for btc back in 2010. He died in a car accident in 2013. I wonder if he sold any

>>49331889
I thought about buying Bitcoin, back when it was around $10. Didn't really know how since there weren't exchanges and too much of a poorfag with a shit computer to mine.

Fuck my life.

fuck off

Bitcoin was a meme for buying drugs.

>>49333166
Monero is a meme for buying drugs.

I killed 74 insurgents in the span of a
that year and had shitty internet service. Probably peaked that year.

I tried to mine some but my PC was from the early 2000's and couldn't do it. I did buy some at like £100 ( might've been less ) to spend on drugs. I probably lost a comfy stack when silk went down too.

>>49333112
You're right, I would have probably sold at 100 or something but hey, you live and you learn.

>>49333218
It's also 200 bucks while bitchoin was like a dollar.

oh but i was buying bitcoin
i spent it all on.......uhh drugs i swear

>>49331889
>read about bitcoin in 2011
>oh that's kind of cool
>download java applet to mine some
>ran it for about 5 minutes
>go to play l4d2 with friends
>game's running super slow because of mining
>fuck that lol
>completely forget about it until years later
>not even a chance of getting any that i may have mined in that 5 minutes because i formatted the drive and gave the pc to a friend
i don't really regret it because i was just a dumb teenager, but i still do think about it sometimes

>>49331889
Funny you mention that. I was in bed, wondering if I’d have to work and thinking about buying bitcoin.
It was explained to me by a shadowy figure that manifested at the foot of my bed that the exchange I would keep my bitcoin on (mt gox) would be hacked.
That I would miss bitcoin and ethereum. But that I would buy chainlink and be rich.
Now at this point in time nothing was concrete and I laughed so hard when this disembodied voice told me I’d be rich on fencing I couldn’t believe it.
Fast forward to 2018 January 5th. I was so sick of wage slaving that I asked the heavens why I had to be rich.
It told me to check biz.
I never went here before and the first day on biz (the 6th) the first thread that I saw was from some asshole named assblaster.
I had no idea what blockchain was or what the fuck an oracle was either.
But I bought link because I remembered that fucking conversation and it scared the shit out of me.
I never told anyone else this because it sounds crazy but it scares me damn near everyday.

>>49333048
Kek. Touche.

I was gonna mine it but my jew country (denmark) has the highest electricity costs on earth so I said fuck it

>>49332700
$100 in 2010 was a lot of money.

>>49333166
And that should have been a big clue that Bitcoin could be worth something one day.

But no, I had to listen to retards on SomethingAwful shit on it. Just $100 of bitcoin back when I heard of it, I'd be sitting on low to mid 6 figures, which would be great for an underachiving fuck like me.

>>49333226
Damn, you killed more than Cotton Hill. He only killed fiddy men.

I was just graduating high school and had never heard of Bitcoin or crypto currency. I think it was 2012 when my best friend (who died around mid-April of 2013) actually introduced me to it and he held some, but I never really was interested in it since we didn't talk too deeply about it.

Not in a "haha" way but it's funny to think where both my friend and I would likely be had he not passed away in early 2013. He'd probably be rich as shit off of it and I'd have probably been convinced to throw $100 at it with a year or so which means I'd be sitting on a nice little amount of money myself.

>>49331889

I was working at Intel at the time, and considering dropping 500 on Bitcoin when it was around 10 dollars. At the time it was too much of a pain to me to buy bitcoins, and felt too much like a scam.

To be clear, if I had gone through with it, and bought Bitcoins, it WOULD have been a scam and would never have pumped to its ATH. I would have just lost 500 dollars like an idiot. So you're welcome BTC holders.

I was ignoring the buttcoin generals on /g/, I considered buying some but never did.
also runescape, highschool, and failing to get any girls.

>>49333522
something awful is basically responsible for all the good things and all the bad things in my life from 2004-2020. When it was good, it was great.

>>49331889
I was in mrs. calicott's 3rd grade classroom

>>49333226
Thank you for your service

>>49331932
Why was everybody so hot back then? It's like it all went to shit after 2012. Indie and scene culture really was the best

Smoking crack and drinking.

>>49333131
Note that his kid showed him a meme in response to the offer of money. I don't blame him at all

>>49331889
I was on /g/ reading about Bitcoin. Thought about buying $20 for shits and giggles, but the only sites to buy from were all pretty sketchy and in Russian. I figured it would be a bad idea to put my bank info into that, so I decided not to buy.

>>49331889
Unlike most people I tried, I really tried to buy some, before they even really had value. Couldn't find a way to do it.

>>49331889
I remember doing tasks on a bitcoin faucet website and getting less than a dollar of bitcoin arouns 2012
I sold it for like 20 bucks a few years later

>>49331889
I started buying in 2013. The thing is that hindsight is 2020 and you would have never anticipated that each would be worth tens of thousands back then. I dropped dozens of btc over the years into all kinds of shit that lost a ton and a few things that exploded in value. You gotta keep looking ahead because retrospect is self mutilation.

>>49331889
Washing dishes to stay the fuck away from my family

I was a broke college student and didn’t have money to buy. When I finally did, I lost it all on the mt gox hack.

>>49335204
Using the network is what gives it it's value. So in a way all the people who sold back then helped to build it into what it is today. Once again, no regrets. That shit will kill grow you a tumor.

>>49331889
I was fairly poor, just finished high school, didn't understand bitcoin and thought it was the equivalent of runescape gold, so put my money into getting a degree instead. I had actually tried to mine some for a few hours in the summer but mining pools didn't exist and it just made my computer loud and room very hot, and it wasn't straight forward to buy any, so I didn't bother.

Started to see the virtues of it in 2014 and mined some dogecoin, but took me until 2017 before I was making decent money and able to shovel some of it into bitcoin/ethereum. About 40% of my wealth is in crypto now.

I didn't understand how to buy it or get it, it was just something people on extra torrent talked about in exchange of TV show BLU-RAY rips. Avi.

I still might have the screenshots of the wallets people were talking about

>>49335278
i honestly can't get past my regrets. i started mining in 2011 but thought it had no future so stopped after a week
the fa/g/s were right, i should have switched to emacs and mined bitcoin

>>49331889
I saw a post about bitcoin in b in summer 2010. I thiught it wss unlimited internet money and dumb. I should of read the white paper and it would of clicked. I was being shipped off to bootcamp soon after

in 2009 I was looking into mining gold on WOW accidentally started mining bitcoin on my computer. Had mined 1000btc , had no idea what that bullshit was, figured i wasted my time. later that year broke up with girlfriend i was living with let her keep the computer. she prob sold for weed money. In 2013 I found out I could use btc to buy stuff on silkroad tried to find old computer no luck.

>>49331889
I had no idea what btc was back then. Luckily some whale is lurking here and will send me .1 btc because he’s a whale and doesn’t care, he has hundreds of them lol

>>49331889
Honestly I wonder why things had to turn out this way. The very first time I heard about Bitcoin I tried to buy it immediately, it wasn't even viewed as having any potential future value at this point but I told my coworker "If the FBI can't stop this, this could be huge". It was 2010. I searched and searched at work, couldn't find a way. Then I went home and searched, nothing. People say "if you bought it you would have sold already" it's an attempt at comforting but I know I would have held cause I'm that autistic about shit, like I have files on my computer that are 20 years old.

>>49331889
I bought $100 worth at $7 per … on a old hard drive someday I’ll pull them out for retirement

>>49331889
I did. I sold them in 2011 to go see the World cup, buy a car and put a downpayment for a house. Bought back in 2013 at 70 or so and sold in 2017 at 10k. Haven't work a single day since and I live of SPY returns and even throw some money to Tesla in 2019 that I sold at 1000.

>>49331889
because I am brainlet and had no idea how it all worked back then and I really had no idea it was even something that was traded like stocks, literally thought it was some new kind of digital dollar.

>>49333218
>What the fuck were you doing in 2022 and why didn't you buy any XMR

>>49331889
I'm a fcking wagie by that time working as a Technical support representative, fucking faggots don't know how to restart their router. I'm so fucked up my friends are mining btc by that time.

>>49331889
What makes me seethe is I used to be a big druggie/drug dealer and got clean right when Silk Road was blowing up. If I would have just been a druggie for another year or two I would have stacked plenty of bitcoin from drug dealing. Oh well probably would have lost the keys or had them seized on a dark net website escrow anyways.

>>49333166

People didn't have any sort of guarantee of the profits that came with cryptos. That's why i lost the chance in 2010
>Lost the chance to invest in BTC
>Lost the chance to get into ETH
>Doge, Shib, XRP, LUNA, all have already pumped
Im not making that same mistake again, lace is literally a once in a decade oportunity, comfy as shit

>>49336253
anon, now is your time as crypto is getting bigger same as with the projects Equilibrium is the best place you can start with as it does provide a new way to earn passive income called the Bailout mechanism.
