I threw away 30 coins during the first year of mining when you could get a coin a day on a half decent box... It's always made me annoyed at myself because I could buy a lot of pizza with those coins.
- sillysaurus2 13y agoAw... Man. $8310. I sold 5 coins at the first peak of $31/BTC. Thought I was pretty damn sly for getting out ahead of the following crash ($8/BTC). Joke's on me! I've now lost out on $1230 and counting.
- ISL 13y agoThere's no joke on you at all.
- mcantelon 13y agoI was going to buy $300 worth when they were 30 cents each. I didn't, though, as it involved travel to a nearby town and I was working on a book and thought I should be practical and spend the weekend on that. Ah well, one less house.
- maaku 13y agoI hope your book sold well.
- mcantelon 13y agoIt did, although not that well haha.
- sentenza 13y agoDude, you made the right choice. Just because things have been heading up for many Bitcoin users doesn't mean it's not speculation. Bitcoin will always have large value fluctuations since it is, unlike "real world" currencies, decoupled from the rest of the economy. And if I was you, I'd do myself the favor of not torturing myself about what could have been.
- mcantelon 13y agoYes, there's definitely an element of speculation about it, but also of platform-building. I was depressed about it for awhile, but take it with a grain of salt now for the most part. It would nice to be financially independent, as some other friends of mine who were early adapters are, but hindsight is 20/20.
