Same here. Before mtgox was up and running I bought btc through virwox. No its not really a crypto exchange as they didnt exist. It was an exchange for the game 2nd life. I bought 40 dollars worth of bitcoin. Which was about 20 bitcoin I think. Theyre still somewhere on a wallte in a hard drive somewhere

I've seen a lot of old threads like those anon, right back to when they would give away 10btc, or a 100,my memory fails me. I knew it was valuable but I was a child and didn't know any better. Unironically that's why I never paid it attention until 2017, to me it was that joke people would give away on /b/ and buy drugs with. I don't have any regrets about it, but maybe if I had a 100 and forgot the key I'd feel very differently.

Most of people who have been in crypto for a while had similar experiences. I remember in late 2017 crazy altseason that I was holding 50,000 oyster pearl (bought at 0,005 usd). The price started to pump and in the range of 0.4$-0.5$ I sold most of my stack, knowing that sooner or later everything would plunge. Two weeks later I sold, oyster rised to 4 usd for some days and kept a value over 2 usd for some weeks. Instead of making just 30,000 I would have made 150,000 just by holding two more weeks.

I remember this as something funny, no regrets, because at the end I made very nice profits that I invested in paying the down payment of my actual home.

You are a retard if you think BTC will ever break it's all time high ever again.

It's broken technology. Growth is stifled at a 1MB block, meaning it can't scale and grow and therefore the usecase is limited to being a speculative pump and dump asset.

In order for Bitcoin to grow to these prices, it requires mass adoption. Which is something BTC can never accomplish.

fuckin hell. i was shilling bitcoin to friends and relatives back in 2013. i was swimming in litecoin when it first came out. i've got like thousands of them lost in wallets and gambling sites. i eventually just dumped it all in 2014 and invested in fucking vanguard mutual funds, what the fuck. when it went up in 2017 i had nothing, maybe half a bitcoin and 25 litecoins. i was getting messages from people i had sent it too who ended up with little fortunes, setting up college funds for they kids. i've been so depressed over it for a few years but eventually you get over it and have no choice but to accept it. i throw all my spare cash into crypto now lol. it's kind of a problem, but i'd rather lose it all than miss out again, no question

I first discovered bitcoin when it was around $100. I found out about it because I went to buy modafinil online and the only way I could pay for it was by using bitcoin, so I set up a coinbase account and bought some.

I only bought btc as an investment when it hit $10,000. Fuck me.
