Perhaps a more simple regret, but not buying bitcoin when it was at ~8USD. In hindsight it would've been the easiest way to not have to think about money anymore for the rest of my life.
- gberger 4y agoYou would have sold at $100 ;)
- derekp7 4y agoIf only I would have had the foresight to buy a lottery ticket with the correct winning numbers. Yes, there was Bitcoin, however there are always millions of investment opportunities that may or may not pan out. Most don't.
- kamaal 4y agoThere's always something called as an Index fund. Which more or less tracks the top companies of a country. Unless you expect your country itself to go down, its generally a good lottery ticket to buy. I'd say just throw in some pocket change in places where you can afford to lose. You never know as the downside is nearly 0, the upside is in millions.
- Yizahi 4y agoWorse, he would have probably bought them on MtGox, since it was the most popular during those prices.
- subpixel 4y agoThis is my personal coping mechanism. If I made $10k in BC I would have sold it all and felt very lucky. I did find a fractional BC on a thumbnail drive in an EOL software wallet for which I had long ago forgotten the password. So that could have happened too.
- Aeolos 4y agoI mined a few bitcoins on a GPU back in the beginning, but threw them away as useless. In hindsight...
- spaceman_2020 4y agoI ordered an ASIC miner back when they were first coming up. My shipment got held up by customs and they asked me to pay a hefty import fee. I didn’t have the extra cash at that time so I just let it go and forgot about it a few months later. If I had plugged that machine in, I would have probably retired by now. A few months of mining back then was enough to have life changing amount of BTC today.
- rippercushions 4y agoIf it's any consolation, while they may not be worthless, they're still useless.
- 93po 4y agoI have "a friend" that buys drugs online to great success and BTC makes it much easier than it's ever been
- epmatsw 4y agoGotta be this. Spent hours and hours on Folding when Bitcoin was just getting started, if I’d spent a single day mining I’d be retired now. Doubt I’ll see an opportunity like that again in my lifetime.
- bartvk 4y agoIf that is your biggest regret, don't you reckon that you have a very good life so far? (I'm assuming that you live a comfortable lifestyle right now.)
- gilbetron 4y agoThere are investments you can make right now that will have the same return - why aren't you making those?
- jghn 4y agoMine is that I said the whole idea was stupid in 2010. When any desktop computer could crank them out at a decent clip, but they were worthless. I console myself in the knowledge that I'd never have kept the coins long enough for the dream to play out.
- spacemadness 4y agoI feel like investment regret is a trap as there are so many winning investments we overlook as they are far exceeded in quantity by possible bad investments. Hindsight creates the illusion of perfect information. At least this is what I tell myself to sleep better at night.
