Friend told me about Bitcoin in 2009 and I dismissed it as stupid. Tried to get into it in 2012, even mined it for a bit but ultimately stopped and used what I've mined to buy a bunch of useless stuff like Namecoin domains. Dismissed it again when it hit 800$ thinking it can never be be higher. Wrong again. Basically I tried to hop onto the train several times and each time it felt like I shouldn't (so I didn't), yet at the same time these were the perfect opportunities to do so. If at any point in my life I'd decide to take it more seriously I might have been able to significantly increase my wealth. I wonder if the next best moment to do so is now.

>I wonder if the next best moment to do so is now. Your post seems like a sophisticated advertisement, and it probably is.

Everyday there are dozens of opportunities to become rich, just play the lottery.

I had an extra $1k to invest in 2010, and I narrowed it down between Apple stock and Bitcoin (lol). I ended up choosing APPL, which of course did well, but I ended up selling all of it shortly after to buy a laptop. Long story short, I'm sure I would have sold Bitcoin a looong time ago too, had I purchased it. Don't beat yourself up over it! And especially don't go after other silly high risk investments to make up for the FOMO!

I mined .10 BTC around 2012. I lost it somehow (never properly transfered to the wallet). I was really trying hard to find it once it got over BTC hit $20k.
