I knew it aswell 2010
Could would..... Doesn't matter

>>57779533
You're forgiven if you thought early bitcoin was a scam. Post 2017 however you have no excuse.

>>57779533
I was 6 in 2010

>>57779533
Good thing you didn't fall for the dumb internet scam. Now get back to the wagie cage and let the real adults make real money

>>57779533
Shoulda, woulda coulda. Woulda, shoulda, coulda

>>57779563
Jannies!!!
Oh wait

>>57779533
You would've sold at $5 don't kid yourseld

>>57779533
Yep same. Every time i look into a mirror i think "there's a sucker. There's a fuicking rube"

>>57779533
>I knew about bitcoin back in 2010 when it was around a dollar.
I had several thousands invested in it when it was around $200 a pop

>>57779533
I literally read about in 2009 after the financial crisis but I was 14
then in 2012 again but I was 17
then learned about ETH in 2017 but was broke
2019 chainlink but too complicated even got a ledger
2020 got a big inheritance and bought... xrp
lost it all
building back again now learning from mistaking
better late than never
dont beat yourself up it doesnt help

>>57779533
If if's and buts were Bitcoin market buys in the early 2010s we'd all be millionaires.
Now fuck off back to plebbit.

If you bought early, you sold early. Trust me.

Or you're dead or lost it.

I have $2k in bitcoin that used to be only $400 when I initially bought it. When will I be able to retire?

>>57779633
Coppity cope cope

>>57779644
It's not really cope. If it even 5x you probably would have sold it. It's very unlikely you would have thought to yourself to just sit on it for 10 years. There's also a very high probability that you would lose your seed phrase, your wallet gets hacked, or you exchange goes down.

OP is a plebbitor. He posted an image from plebbit.

>>57779664
I don't know why you think that's the case.

Early bitcoiners were a somewhat unusual mix.
Fairly technical folks, and able to protect their keys.
Ideologically deviant, and willing to do strange things on principle.

Also, don't underestimate the psychological effect of having a negligible cost basis.
It made it quite easier to sit on coins for a long time without losing one's mind.

Reddit is love.

Reddit is life.

Stop struggling against the inevitable.

>dude I could've won the lottery bro!
even if you did buy BTC in 2010 you'd sell way too early like 99.9999% of people

do what you can today

>>57779674

2018 is when I finally got into it...I got wrecked.

>>57779533
I knew about Bitcoin back in 2010 too, I tried to buy $8000 worth, I couldn't find a way to do it. Fuck this world

>>57779747
Reddit chads rise up! We'll put these 4chins in their place!

>>57780499
You were supposed to go on IRC, in #bitcoin-markets.
There, strange nicks would cater to your every desire, as long as they involved paypaling them money and hoping to receive some worthless made up coin in exchange.
If you express nervousness at the incongruity of the situation, they would have assuaged your every doubt by showing you their Web of Trust rating, an entirely made up and completely gameable metric that proved they were entirely trustworthy. With math.

In their defense, and in spite of how nonsensical this all seemed, they generally were trustworthy.

>>57780562
Interesting, every experience I had on mIRC or whatever was terrible back in the days, feels like faggots would ban you for no reason. Maybe that was just the anime ones. I remember searching for ways to buy Bitcoin with debit card and as my searches gave 0 results. I remember the frustration and it's almost like I could feel my future self screaming to the past that I was gonna miss something but "I don't have time for this" I thought to myself... I had a mind numbing job and the whole reason for the job was to trade my time for money to buy stuff. If I was unemployed and doing nothing at home I probably would have gotten into mining cause I would have had the time.

>>57779533
>gosh i (you) should really buy at the high
Buy an ad samuel bankman

I did not learn about Bitcoin even being a thing until 2019.

I knew about it in my years lurking /r9k/ but wasted it on buying and experimenting with drugs through Silk Road and SR knock offs and was addicted to watching BangBros and Tube Porn sites at its peak during all the degenerate music, lifestyles and proto-SJWism, I literally wasted my youth

now I’m living iff the streets in some undisclosed west coast town addicted to fent and have full-blown AIDs and will wind up joining a communist jihadi group to blow myself up to destroy a power generator when they send me on my last mission after I owe the CCP and jeet drug dealers tens of thousands as a laid off failed millenial tech bro

>got a big inheritance and bought... xrp
You got a big inheritance and went all in in ONE token?
Absolute mongoloid. The all in meme is just a meme to fuck with newfags. Diversify, always.

>>57779644
At the time, a 2x was an amazing return. A 3x was insane. Anybody would've sold. We weren't used to crypto-like returns back then, only to 10-20% stock ROIs.

>>57779715
>I don't know why you think that's the case.
Because that has in fact been the case for the virtual totality of early investors? How many stories of people who bought at $20 and sold at $50 thinking they were Gordon Gekko?
And how many actually held for years through 100x, 200x, 300x without selling? Basically no one.

>>57781305
From the get go, some people understood that Bitcoin's price might become rather crazy.
See for example Hal Finney estimating a $10 million price per coin *two days* after Bitcoin launched.

In the early years, many would reach similar conclusions in the forums and on IRC.

I'm sure plenty of people sold, but certainly not everyone did.

me and a friend mined it in hs, i dont remember what we used I remember using a mining pool. would have been like 2011-12 or maybe early 13
pretty sure I formatted that drive
was a neet for like 5 years going back and and the rest of the time I worked min wage jobs and was in like 10k+ minimum of credit card debt
really only started making actual money in 2021, bought some bitcoin but I didn't really get it so I sold it pretty quick (still had crazy CC debt, moved in with parents to pay it off quickly while working a decent job). barely had any and barely made anything.
only really understood what it actually was and the basic maxi idea and bought in fully started w/ a lump sum and dcaing in april 2023 when it was ~27k
got like .75 of a btc now
if it really takes off I think we will all be fine

>>57779533
damn thats crazy. you could also have won the lottery if you knew the numbers

>>57781377
>pretty sure I formatted that drive
youre retarded for not doing data recovery on that drive if you still have it

>>57781421
I kept the drives around for a while but like 4 years after i was really paranoid and having a schiz freakout as a shutin so I pretty in depth destroyed all my old drives and threw them out

>>57781377
There weren't a lot of pools in the early day.
If you happened to use Slushpool, it's now called pool.braiins.com and any account you had there still exists on the new platform.

Also, some people have gone to clinically insane lengths to retrieve lost bitcoins, including https://protos.com/owner-of-8k-bitcoin-lost-in-landfill-threatens-to-bankrupt-local-council/
If you don't have to bankrupt a town and empty an entire landfill to find your old harddrive, things might be easier for you.

>>57779533
you're still on time to buy $LRDS, dont waste any time anon, this is the moment, this is the signal

i found 580k worth of dogecoins in a backed up wallet I had sent to my gmail. i had mined them in 2014, i cashed out $120k when it was 20cents. The money has since been dwindling down though due to paying off debt and other things. I need another miracle to happen to me bros.

>>57779533
I had many opportunities to invest, but until this day I'm a nocoiner. I might finally cave in after this bullrun, maybe throw in $10000.

>>57779533
I read about it when it was $1 on Zerohedge. I remember it being invented by a Japanese guy called Satoshi Nakamoto, which I found cute - an IT innovation by a Japanese, how often does that happen?

I also found an old forum post of mine that I had completely forgotten about. Must have been from 2013 where I praised the gold-like abilities of Bitcoin due to its computational supply increases that rise with technological progress. However I recommended that people should wait until it dips, because at $80 it would be a bit overvalued (lmao).

>>57781328
well the thing is that if he sold at $50 he probably would have kept coming back to check the price, to see what could have been. He would have seen $100,$500,$1000. At that point he'd probably want to buy back in knowing it would go a lot higher

>>57779533
You can still achieve huge gains with altcoins, and you can't turn back time when 1 BTC was just 1 cent. Consider researching Peaq network; it has great potential, especially considering its big contributions to the DePIN space.

>>57779533
I knew about BTC and ETH back in 2016 but I only awoke from my deep normie slumber in 2020/21 after doing large quantities of shrooms and dmt. After losing 50k when terraluna rugged I'm finally back in 6 fig hell but I feel as if I am running out of time
