What things were you about to invest in but then trashed the idea that turned out to potentially make you millions if not a billion?

Realistically, you would've cashed out most of your investment once it "mooned" from $1 to $10. You would've made a couple of grand but it would never have made you a millionaire. Stop feeling bad.

It's the "did you know my grandparents had a chance to invest in Microsoft?" Equivalent.

>what if

Just think how many times you would've probably cashed out in the past. If perhaps not at the 100$ "bubble" then surely during the 13/14 "crash".

Yeah I was young but heard about bitcoin back then, dad told me to sounded like a scam so I wasn't able to get money from him to buy. But I'm sure I would have sold all the coin when it doubled or tripled. I wouldn't be a millionaire now, that's never really how these things work

The 1000BTC in 2010 meme is too fantastic and idealistic to even crow about. Unless you were a true enthusiast there is no fucking way you had the foresight to hold them for almost a decade and at the time in my case I probably would've just as easily lost them or gotten them stolen. I only beat myself up over not buying more 1-2 years ago.

Everyone 'wanted' to invest in bitcoin, in hindsight.

You had no way of knowing if crypto currencies were even going to take off. It's like saying you were sure some googly eyed faggot was going to be running the tech industry in the 70's.
