Imagine not buying just 1 (ONE) Bitcoin in May 2012 for $5(five) american dollars. Just ONE.
You had internet, you had 5 dollars. And it wasn't even dark ages internet, like 1995, it was pretty modern and mainstream already.

imagine buying a BTC in 2012. After that,
you would have been either:
Goxxed
Forgot your keys
SFYL'ed with malware
Exchange exit scam

Right now you would hold 0 BTC. So the net effect is that you would have lost $5 + interest

I knew about it. I knew about mining. Bought it to do shady shit on the DW. Hacking business partners emails and the like. That was money wel spent as we worked out they were going to screw us over. But yeah. One or two that would have been nice but surely would have sold in 2017 anyway for fuckall

I did. I had to go to CVS and moneygram a company called BitInstant. Felt like the shadiest thing in the world and was pretty sure I was going to lose my money. I did lose money somehow. There was a crash and I panic sold and panic bought and traded really badly.

It was a pain in the ass, and it had an EXTREMELY sketchy vibe. I forgot what it was called but there was a craigslist like thing where you could buy btc from people in person. I think that got shut down and some literally innocent guy got thrown in jail for “operating an illegal unloiscensed money services business” . Mt Gox, .. hacked and goxxed ... BTC-E . That’s where you bought your shit coins. There was a trollbox and the site got seized by the FBI. There was so many pitfalls that even if you could send a message to yourself to your past that just says “Buy Bitcoin” you’d probably end up losing it somehow. I only made it through extraordinary luck.
