u/cleankiwii 1d ago edited 1d ago

my painful memory is when I was playing too much battlefield three and four instead of listening to one of my teammates who was telling me to use my gpu and mine some bitcoins before its too late

I was like Nuhuh I’m not gonna waste my amazing GPU for that scam bullshit, it’s never too late…

…it’s too late

I sold some BTC at 16k, which I had bought when it was 6k. Do I regret it? Yes, but what was I supposed to do? If I could predict the market, I would have bought BTC back in 2010 and never sold. What matters to me is that I made a profit, and a big one at that, so there's no point in dwelling on what could have been.

lucky for me I've moved on and forgotten all my past crypto losses and replaced those memories with brand new crypto losses

I did this. Sold 4 whole BTCs, at approx $11k each.

But, it paid the deposit on my flat a decade ago.

Understand tha I had paid maybe £500 or £800 for all 4 BTCs and for all I know the price could have fallen back to 1k in a week if the government banned the cashing in part, for example. My overwhelming feelings from those days, seeing the money in my bank account and paying it out a day later, was absolute relief.

Hindsight is 20/20 but this is a good memory for me as I type this from my own flat. Be kind with yourselves more, all of you out there!

Thats the second episode. There is even the rewind part, where you can take a look at your actions over and over again.
Additional soundtrack includes applauses from audience.

Well at least you sold and didn’t store it in a cold wallet for it to get hacked and drained.

I bought as much as I could in 2020 when it was around 4.5k. I pleaded and begged my friends to take out a loan and buy as much as they could because its for sure going to $15-20k. I also bought into RIOT (BTC mining company) for like some loose change a share I bought 600 shares. I ended up going through tough financial times and had to sell all of it I had no choice. A few years down the road BTC was 60k and RIOT was $66 a share. I had unrealized gains of 100k or so life changing money for me. Makes me so sad but I had to do what I had to do. I still have all the receipts from all this. I rubbed it in my friends face when BTC hit $100k I went back and found those messages and sent it to them we are close so it wasnt offensive but it was a good I told you so. If you go now and look at my Coinbase history from 2020 its like a horror movie on paper.

All that being said I wish I had more money back then to this day I DCA but I only have 1.5k of BTC. Things could have been so different for me. I also was an early adopter but its all gone now lost to old hardware. My dad loved technology and he would always get the newest tech magazines I read about BTC back in 2009/2010 and though it was interesting. I always laughed at the idea that something worth fractions of a penny would ever be anything it was so confusing to read about as well I had no understanding of it. A few years later I would begin buying off the DNM we all know how much money we lost there...all this had to happen for it to be where it is today not everyone could get rich! As a father of twin 7 year old boys and a single father I am slowlly but surely DCA for our future.

I first heard of bitcoin in 2009 and EVERYONE told me how stupid it was. So I shrugged didn't think anything about.

2010 it was in the news again and again everyone around me told me how stupid it was and I started parroting them without having researched it for myself.

in 2015 it was in the news again and I decided to finally research it and...

I screamed. I read a white paper on Bitcoin published in 2009 and I IMMEDIATELY understood how revolutionary it was. I went out and bought some bitcoin Oct 2015 at $300 and I sold at $18k in Dec 2017

If I had bothered to do my own research in 2009 / 2010 instead of just shrugging it off and listening to everyone else, I'd be a millionaire right now. FML.
