Feeling suicidal since I realized I should have mined/invested on Bitcoin back in the day, but passed on the opportunity because I quickly associated it with criminal activities and didn't read much into it.

There will never be an opportunity like this on our lifetimes to get rich in 2 years while young. Can't stop feeling depressed. Hard work is bullshit, and if by a slim possibility you end up rich, it's after years and you are old as fuck.

Opportunities like Bitcoin come once in a lifetime and it's all over.

A HUGE investment opportunity/get rich quick bubble comes every couple decades at least. The last generation is kicking themselves for not investing in the .com boom in the 90's.

a lot more people got rich off of the .com boom then did off of bitcoin. 95 percent of the people that heard about bitcoin in 2010 or 11 or 12 didn't buy in or didn't buy in much and are now upset for some imaginary reason(myself included), probably half of those people that did make a lot in bitcoin also lost several thousand when mt gox closed.

Dogecoin is dead in a few months. Real ASICs are coming and clonecoins are done for. This isn't the same situation Bitcoin faced with the transition. There are tons of Scypt coins for the multipools to obliterate at the current time. Those dropping the cash in ASICs will want a quick ROI before the next gen ASICs come out and kill their chances. Multipools will have larger hash rates than most of the coins can handle and pretty much rip them to shreds. All the GPU miners will have moved on. Dogecoin is banking on ASICs to play fair and help support their community. This won't happen and that is the only thing the coin has going for it. It's going to get raped.
