wrote out a long thing but it doesnt matter, learned about it and missed it at $10 even tho I had the money. so this

> 10$
I remember when it was shilled and given away for dubs on 4chan back in 2010 and people freaking out when it hit 1$
I legit looked into it but making a wallet felt too complicated and I gave up

I'm completely broke since my bankruptcy in 2015 and I've been contemplating suicide since November when I found out it was mooning like crazy
2018 will probably be my last year I can't find the strength to keep up anymore

Knew about BTC since 2009 when it came out, could have easily mined thousands, even looked into it briefly but was to lazy and had no vision. I cope by telling myself I would have sold at $1 or $5 which I probably would have desu, or lose it all in Mt. Gox.
Missing out on BTC doesn't even bother me that much, its missing out on the alts bullrun that really gets me since you could have jumped from shitcoin to shitcoin and compound your gains. Oh well life is a learning experience.

same here, lifelong friend who was a lolberterian type wanted me to invest back when it was like $5, he was stocking up, obsessed with Bitcoin. He ended up making a fairly successful subscription-model website and was accepting BTC payments back then in like 2011 or some shit.

Now he's set for life, dunno what he's worth exactly but I assume at least $10-20M+ owns multiple properties, travels a lot, etc. he and I barely speak anymore, I'm wagecucking making $45k/year and he's flying around the world doing w/e the fuck he wants. Hurts worse because we were best friends from like age 5, grew up together same town, same highschool, and he was always telling me to buy BTC, i thought it was a fucking scam.

Oh man, so much this. Missing the 2017 alt bullrun is what hurts the most, especially since the closest time I almost got to buy before pussying out was in November 2016.

>>10543383
Been contemplating suicide too. My story is that I got laid off from my 8-year job in October 2016. Back then I considered going all in btc with my severance pay but ended up pussying out at that time. Spent most of 2017 considering what to do with my life as I didn't want to go back to wagecucking. Saw how btc was mooning and FOMO'd in november, as I was hope. I'm still unemployed.

I am you, from 2009.

But I didnt miss out on alt bullruns, entire 2017 I was there.

Yet the profit is only x130, merely $200k

Why? Because its not just trade shitcoin for shitcoin, I made very good trades, but not the ideal trades.

You didnt miss out on much.

Had 250k at top. Now 20k got out some, but not nearly enough to be satisfied. I cope by realizing that I have another 30-40 years to live and that this is just a minor episode in life.

Ive run thru thousand of scenarios from first trade thru all shitcoins and calculated, I would be having 63 million usd today, in some other scenarios, I would settle for 14million.

I first read about bitcoin when I was in 11th grade. After the Ross Ulbritch/Silk Road got shut down. Didn't think much about it at that time besides thinking it was cool. I can't believe I overlooked such technology in my face. Just never really occurred to me, I was fascinated with the silk road though.

Shit sucks I wish I had more vision at that time.

if you had bought stocks in facebook, google, amazon, etc 10 years ago you would be rich now too.

also, 10 years ago you will think "oh man if only i had invested just $100 into this one stock X then i would be rich by now"

I think I'm the most pathetic. Brought a quarter of a bitcoin in 2014 for around $150, sat on it like a retard, without buying anymore all the way through 2017. Why didn't I buy more?. I thought it would either moon to a million, or more likely crash to nothing, so I just sat there like a big poof. It took until March 2018 until I finally cashed out my $1500 I had left. Also due to the fact I live in the UK cashing out seemed a complicated pain,so I brought 20g of gold with the BTC. Knowing my luck the gold will turn out to be fake. Only invested in shitcoins when they started to plummet.

Just let it sit there like a big poof all the way through 2017, never buying or selling more.
Due to living in the UK withdrawing BTC into GDP is a pain, so finally in March 2018 I cashed out my remaining BTC, all $1500 that was left, and brought a 20g bar of gold, and a few silver coins.
Knowing my luck BTC will suddenly rise and I won't buy in, or the gold turns out to be fake.

I found out about btc playing a trader on eve right before it shot up to 1000. Finally ended up buying a couple at 220, then 440 and then 880. Then i bought a 100 eth at 14 on a whim just cause it was on coinbase. I didnt even know what it was. Then i was hanging out on ethtrader and these people kept shilling antshares and i was all ok and i bought a few thousand. I have spent a lotof time learning about cyrpto in the last 18 months but i totally bumbled my way in. And now people are talking about another bullrun and im looking at my portfolio and shit if we repeat 2017 i might be retiring.

this is what people don't get, the market could go to 50-100 trillion and you'd still only get < 200x gains, and thats the absolute best case scenario for this lifetime.

but there's no excuse anyway, missing out before 2013 was reasonable, but by 2013 bitcoin was completely mainstream, and alts/gambling was mainstream by early-mid 2017.

I shatposted religiously in the bitcoin begging threads back in 2011 /b/ when they were about a dollar a pop because the spam REALLY fucking annoyed me and those people had to fuck off and gift their useless internet drug money on another site. They used to gift hundreds of bitcoins to random people from the threads purely because they had nothing else to do with them, every day multiple times in every thread.

You don't know what pain feels like.

I kept missing chances from $10 to $4000. Same with dogecoin when it was first made.

But you know what, I realized I won't get anywhere without trying. So I keep investing in microcap shitcoins and losing money. But I still have hope on a $30,000 mcap going to 3mil.

That's how I cope. Losing more money.
