1) Trading btc for fiat back in 2012 and then leaving the crypto game until december 2017

2) A $40,000 car which is now worth ~10k. Barely even use it and i could care less if i was driving it or some other below average car. Wish i just bought a 20k car and invested the rest instead.

Leverj. I invested 35 eth at the beginning of October 2017. They didn't give me my tokens until the middle of December when eth was worth almost 1000. They also did zero marketing or any attempts at getting listed on any exchanges. The price plummeted and I finally sold almost 2 weeks back. I was able to recoup just over 8 eth.

35 eth initial investment valued at roughly 10k.
Return was 8 ETH valued at about 7500.
2500 USD loss
27 eth loss
Untold opportunity loss from them keeping my eth hostage during the entire amazing bull run that ended the year.

Fuck pajeets. Never again.

Was there no smart contract to give you your tokens? Also i fell for redd at 120 and dgb at 2200 and Verge at 200 (which looking back at verge i now regret selling 700k at around $1k) Changed 4.5 bitcoins into now 1.5

this. FEMALES are the worst investments. when the sexbots finally hit mainstream usage the true value of roasties will be revealed and it will be close to zero. Females are the most overvalued high risk low reward asset you can invest in. You always end up bag holding as their value rapidly decreases. Pump and dump only, never long term hold.

5Y relationship.

plus when BTC was first getting posted on /b/, I wasn't able to put 80% of my income ($2080, pre-tax) in it. Instead I needed to buy her X, or Y, or Z.

At least I had enough money left over to pay for gas and cigarettes. Too bad I didn't quit smoking then and just put that $35/wk I was spending on cartons into btc. Funny how I had a huge boner for cryptocurrency, even though I wasn't trying to earn money with it. I just loved playing cyberpunk shit after work. God damn, being a cyberpunk almost paid off lmao...

oh well. It can't be helped.
