Knew that bitcoin is the future. Transferred 50$ to Mtgox to test the waters and learn the game to buy 1 BTC. You know what happened. Saw ethereum and knew it was the future. Forget about it and check after few years if you can still invest in it and profit. Too late. Plan to buy 1k antshares, collecting every penny I have so I can buy it at 5$. Takes too long to collect money, price rises to 7$ and skyrockets right before my eyes.

Then finally buy IOTA at 0.5$ and Decentraland ICO and make some gains. Take a break and invest later to ICX, but I was gone for too long and everything was overvalued, so start holding bags.

I fucking regret everything. At least it was a learning experience, never go away, never wait if the project is solid and the price is right.

I'd have over $6 million of i had held xmr and then been in a better position to buy xlm when I had found it.
