The bass player in one of my old bands did almost that exact same thing.
Bitcoin was a few dollars, he bought some, sold after making a tiny profit, then most likely spent the money on pot.

My story is no better:
> 20 yo w/ tech job
> people at work talking about bitcoin, around the time "Anonymous" started to gain mainstream attention.
(i even got the first call about Anonymous voicemail hacks at work)
> BTC was mere dollars at the time and i didn't even bother looking into it because i was hung up on music and a girl who didn't give a fuck about me.

Fake story. Bitcoin was only worth pennies in 2010, by 2011 the price had already exploded to 32 dollerinos. Imagine being so pathetic that you larp as an oldfag for (YOU)s

>>23953029
You're right. My story happened before OP's and it was already in the dollars at that point.

Moved all my BTC at 16k into Fuse yesterday. Obviously this is potentially a fairy tale, Will let ya know if it turns out to be a horror story

I bought ethereum at ath and then panic sold for some shit coin

imagine the smell of nico’s hair

>>23953029
i misremembered
my point is that i didnt buy it when i could have and it haunts my wageslave existence

For what its worth anon, even if you had bought you would have sold it all way before the high.
Very very few people who got in sub $100 held past $1k

In normal circumstances you'd be stupid to hold onto it once it got in the 100's OP. Anyone who waited until the 1000's was either a dumb lunatic or a smart lunatic.

I wanted to buy $20 worth which at the time would have got me around 50 btc
I was quite young and my parents pointed out that you can't spend it anywhere, it's fake internet money that you can't use or cash out
I couldn't convince them otherwise and honestly they seemed right at the time... kind of

i thought you could only mine it at that time, didnt know about the markets

I downloaded the blockchain on the family pc and never mined, next thing I know I missed out on a lot of money, but there's this Ethereum that promises well it's already nearing 5$, a shared computer, seems cool I want to get it, but decide to keep the money because I had to move for a job. Next thing I know it's Christmas 2017 and shit I lost a second opportunity. Weeks later there's this Link, wants to bring real world data on blockchain, cool, this time I buy... like 100$ worth.
This is just in crypo, my whole life is a series of missed opportunities

>Dad offers to give me $500 to start practicing in the stock market at 14 in 2014
>I say I'd rather put it in crypto, he gets offended and I don't get the money at all
>crypto moons
>not mad at dad obviously but decide now that I have the means I'll never miss an opportunity again
>start learning about stocks and options in late 2019
>using pathetic kid starting money I make gains on Microsoft, the SPCE ipo, penny stocks
>discover options
>if index funds are a good way to make money, then otm calls on SPY are a great way to make money
>go all in in March
>market crashes, refuse to sell all the way down
>put in the rest of my cash
>hold puts all the way up
>now poor
At least I learned if I had the means I would still be poor

>>23954310
It's also fine because I'm happier when I accept poverty. The only thing that drives me to try and get something is wanting to support my family and setup my own. I'm also very sleepy and confused so deal with my shit posts
