How often do you curse for not buying around those times?

How often do you curse for not buying around those times?
I mined millions of doge back in the day, not even mad
i bought my first btc when they were 8 dollars, been holding since.
I was there when there wasn't an exchange yet and just a site where you could buy em. it had this weird video explaining what it was supposed to be.
you could buy bitcoins for $0.01 a piece.
As I was in the advertising and marketing stuff myself and very young, I thought it was a scam of some sort. Like was 90% of the shit you saw just a way to get you to spend your dollar.
forgot about it all together and only actually bought coins september 2017
lel
Bought and spent on silk road. Fml
I can remember “omg we hit a dollar” thread on /b/
Kill me now for being too lazy and giving up on figuring out how to mine and create a wallet because there were no good guides
I did buy during those times. That is why I'm a millionaire now
I got some bitcoin as a gift when they were basically worthless.
Not quite, but I bought around $300. Definitely not rich, only got about 10 and lost most of them since, lol.
youd have sold at $10 anyway
You've got to take the phrase "hindsight is 20/20" to heart, the same faggots talking about bitcoin being the future of money had been saying that Linux was the future of desktop operating systems.
I did buy when it was 14 each but spent it all
I was an early adopter and used it as a currency, not an early speculator
I remember tons of silk road threads. BTC was mentioned BUT it was regarded as a small money token. NO ONE bothered with BTC unless a low-life darknet market scum.
crime pays they say. In this case darknet market scum buyers and sellers all became millionaires
I never saw anyone say that. I only ever saw it shilled as a superior alternative anti normie OS. never any delusions of mass adoption
I mean I could have bought at 5$, but I was fucking 14 at that time. Impossible to justify this to my parents.

who's the jewess?
I did buy. I spent around 400 btc on drugs and illegal porn.
Hindsight 20/20. At the time it would have been laughable to imagine btc as some speculative asset bubble.
I knew about it at 200$ and used it all on LSD.
Worth it i guess
Knew about it at about $11. Attended a get together where partners at my lawfirm had a big conversation about how it was certain to be banned or regulated into worthlessness in the very near future. So I didn't buy any, and forgot about it until 2015 when I read about some guy who bought like $200 worth when it was pennies cashing out. I thought "wow, I should have bought in; guess I missed out" and then forgot about it again until 2018...

I don't really regret it because I was broke teenager then and I got in alts early and made nice money.
"Baldet is here to smash any preconceptions you might have had about the banking industry. She leads the team at J.P. Morgan that's developing Quorum, one of the most exciting corporate blockchain projects around."
I had tens of thousands to invest in Eth in 2016. But I couldn't imagine it going to $100, much less $1000.
Nice try irs
I bought 50 bucks worth of bitcoin in 2012 to buy stuff on the deepweb, ended up never buying it and I forgot the password...
1 BTC was like 6$ at the time...
She's recently left J.P Morgan to work on something else.
been here since 460$
sold half of it ATH.
:feelsgoods:
I had a 100 btc order for $30 a piece way back when. Missed the cutoff time for transfer and the next day btc was trading at $45, so I waited for the dip that never came. $2.3mil+ at its peak in aud.
Knew about it at around 600... dangit
Heard about it in middle school when it hit 8 dollaridoos. Started mining at 40. Bought weed from all I mined.
Best is my mum opened one of my darknet packages and went mad since she thought I'd been stealing her or dads credit card and they were going to go to prison.
When I explained(as much as a 16yo can) what bitcoin is and that I paid with it in an unidentifiable way my mum actually wanted to give me a few k to buy. I said it's not worth buying because you can just mine it.
Then I continued mining my 0.5btc/month
FML
>When your mom knew the potential better than you.
KEK
I dont know how to feel about this story. Mum finds her 16 y.o buying drugs off he internet and gives him 2k to buy more....
Shit, that'll just about get you a house in aus.
>getting mugged by your own mom
Tried mining btc back in 09 when it was worth jackshit. Didn't care about it, thought of it as a meme going nowhere.
Still dont care about it, and consider it a ponzi.
All in on Link, when it moons i will market sell it all and gtfo out of crypto forever.
hnnngghhh i wanna mouthfuck her, cum ropes across her face and then lay down and cuddle and talk about future blockchain applications
I was underage and thought it was out of reach, despite having a high end PC.
I asked mommy for $100 to buy BTC when I was 16 in 2009 and heard about it on Jow Forums because I was too retarded to figure out how to mine it
She said no. When I was old enough to have my own money I thought it was way too expensive to be worth buying
'Yes user, do you have another question?' 'Why dont you come see me after. I'm sure I can answer that long hard question you've been dying to ask me'
Lol there's only one kind of porn that's illegal
saw a thread about it when it was .10
wanted to buy about $100
just had a baby, need the money to make ends meet
I've sulked about it for about 20 cumulative minutes, but I'm comforted by the realization that I would have probably cashed out a lot earlier to make ends meet and gotten shit profit

I learned about Bitcoin when it was below $100, but I don't remember exactly where. Then I bought a lot of it when it was $170 and spent it all on DNMs. I learned a lot about drugs and had a good time. I don't regret anything. Hindsight is 20/20.
>falling for a jewess
enjoy your life of pain
I bought and sold 32 of them in 2012.
I curse myself often, but I am trying to learn my lesson for being such a dope.
>Site where you could buy them
>Not an exchange
Still got the wallet file? Might be worth trying to bruteforce the password, or sending it off to a reputable wallet cracking service.
Depends where you live. UK has some surprising porn laws.
I first found bitcoin when namecoin launched, since I was interested in distributed systems and the pirate bay just had their DNS taken down. I looked into it, thought it looked interesting, and wished the best of luck to everyone involved. Next heard about it in 2013 when it was £50, thought I'd missed my chance and still didn't buy. Finally bought at the peak of the 2013 bubble, then watched it bleed out for 18 months. Could have gone better.
I don't curse at all, because I would have sold it all before it became big
>not having 20k in savings and assets by 14
Kys pathetic child predator
Tell me where you are and I'll do it myself. Seriously would beat
I hope you get raped you piece of shit for supporting child porn
Why do people larp
I did buy, and I lol at you fags on the daily.
i did buy. i bought 80 @ $3. then i spent them all on Silk Road.
I considered buying 100 for 10$ lol
ended up buying 1.2 at 4500$
i discovered it in 2010, i hated the gubbmint then too because of the bail outs, i thought i should buy some but then i.. i got high.
seriously, i had 15k that i was going to spend on btc at $11, but i thought mt gox was shady and i didnt want to give them my details and i was scared of it falling to $6 again.
then the cyprus banking crisis happened and i saw it's first business case and moon mission, i bought in at over 1k and i like to think that i would have held if i bought in back then but i'd seriously have spent it all on drugs, hookers and booze.
it would have killed me so i guess i dont regret it, but it would have been an interesting few years of mayhem.
>mfw I learned about bitcoin in 2011
>mfw I downloaded a miner but didn't bother to set it up then
>mfw I realized bitcoin was gonna moon in 2013 after the mining reward halving but didn't buy because being a poor pussy

>mfw I know at least 5 people who got filthy rich from my shilling, leaving me in the wake
>mfw I sold 200 ETH for 10 dollars each in 2016
At least I know when and why the market is gonna go for the final moon. We could be talking a btc/usd flippening for real. I'm not even mad that I've lost out and still live with my dad.
2007 /b/ fag
I saw threads about this shit back in 2010.
I don't think about it too much since it would be pointless.
I saw it at 5 cent when it was just starting to trade. I said it was a fucking scam because it had nothing backing it and was easy to mine as shit.
A man after my own heart.
Bought and traded over 12btc on dark web while it was around $400. The drugs were good at least
>How often do you curse for not buying around those times?
i dont understand the question
I bought a bag of meth in 2011 for probably 150ish btc. I would be a multimillionaire right now had I taken the thousand or so dollars worth of btc I bought for drugs over the years and just held. I didn't know back then about deflation or adoption curves, buying btc was just something I had to do to get the drugs. Makes me want to die desu
Use that feeling to actually kill yourself you worthless junkie scum
you fucker I mined bitcoin when it was 10c and I was happy to sell it at 80c. In reality you had to be a madman not to sell at those times. Nobody predicted this price
We're gona make this time!

Just fuck my shit up famalam
Literally remember BTC at 6 cents and Jow Forums general threads. I remember the celebrations at 12 cents. Barrier to entry was very difficult back in the day. Payment and storage screamed "scam"
I maintain that it wasn't "smart money" that accumulated it was just pure luck that Bitcoin caught on. Further, most people who did buy at Rock bottom prices probably sold at $10 or $100 and I think the pain of selling early is worse than simply not knowing at all
I remember nearly buying ten at 7 dollars or so and feel like such a brainlet now for not doing so. At least we're all in this together
I spent $300 on BTC when it was $60 to buy some Mimosa Hostilis root bark powder. I do honestly think the DMT experience was more valuable than what the BTC would have appreciated to. Sure I feel regret, but I'm back into it now and for the future.
I bought monero sub $1, truth is people had many opportunities over the years not just bitcoin
Made fun about ehterbutters when it was 1$. Fuck me. Same with bitcoin but more focused on utility and adoption than concerning future price speculation.
I sold everything one day before the bullrun started. I missed out on ethereum, monero, and later literally everything else because it all looked shady. Now I don't own crypto because tether seems shady.
I bought in around 10 bucks or something liked that. Lost it all to mtgox. Just 2 left now. I think about it often.
Don't forget that you still might have sold when it hit $100 or $1000. Or that you could have gotten jewed by Mt. Gox or other things
I knew about BTC in 2010. I distinctly remember smugly posting about “fake internet money” back then. Only now do I realize the seriousness of the personality flaw which lead to me posting that.
I was (still am) a hardcore libertarian. I heard about BTC a few months after it was released but didn't accumulate any until around the 3-5 USD mark.
I kept accumulating. I was in college then. BTC was up to 13 dollars. I had a family emergency. I had to sell it all on MTGOX to help out.
Then MTGOX went under a bit later.
At that point it was too hard to mine with GPUs and I had no extra money to invest until I got a job after college and at that point.
How much did you take out all said and done?
>tattoo
>business
GTFO you whore, deal's over
>her
I've never had the balls to go back and count. Probably not THAT much then but like ~500 USD. I'd guess I had 10-20 BTC overall, so not enough to have been a millionaire even at 20k/BTC.
$10 btc checking in. I tried to convince the wife to let me buy $1k worth and she said no. Bought in much later. Still making profit, but I kick myself and don't ask her permission for financial investments anymore.
Fucking amazing. And every word of it applies to the bearfags claiming we're in the late adoption phase now.
>Holy shit they mentioned it on CNBC, the jig is up SELLSELLSELL
Hope you got a lot for $300, I regularly score 1kg for $100. DMT's the only experience in my life that has actually outperformed the hype I had for it. A lifetime supply of premium spice is one of the few things I'd probably take over a million dollars, if I had to choose for some reason.
Not only did I learn about it in 2011, but I lived in university dorms with free electricity and even had a spare video card lying around from an old rig of mine. I said nah because like everyone else at the time, the idea of digital property with no real-world asset backing having any kind of value whatsoever was a totally foreign and sketchy concept.
The thing with bitcoin is that nothing in the history of existence has appreciated so much in value in such a short span of time before. There was no frame of reference to support the belief that $0.20 bitcoin might be worth $200 in a couple years, much less $2000 or $20k. The risk was apparent to anyone - made-up digital money with no backing that could go poof at any point in time. But the potential reward that would have made buying $50 worth in 2011 seem like a sound risk-adjusted financial decision, was just not apparent at the time.
This is the story I tell myself when I cry myself to sleep at night clutching my .57 BTC paper wallet in my grubby little hands, anyways.
Redpill me on DMT
Smoke enough DMT and hold it long enough and you will cross over into hyperspace. You'll quickly lose feeling in your body and your sense of self and you'll find what's left of yourself in a bizarre hyperreal universe full of fast-moving, colorful, (usually) benevolent, geometric entities. They oftentimes try to perform acrobatics for you or show you objects, though the objects are usually impossible to make out. Oftentimes the entities have a sense of being jesters, clowns, elves or royalty of some sort, though I've also experienced italian chefs, salarymen, crust punk dragons, and other bizarrities. It's actually extremely unusual to NOT meet an entity during a breakthrough experience.
This sounds weirdly specific, like you wouldn't expect 100 people who took shrooms to all tell you that they met bouncing exhibitionist geometry elves during their trip. But with DMT, the same very specific descriptors always pop up again and again.
It is basically the strangest and most intense experience a human being can possibly have, but it can also be wonderful and uplifting if you are in the right mindset for it. It will exceed your wildest expectations of what a drug can do to a person and leave you in slackjawed awe afterwards. The only other drug that comes close to DMT's weird factor is salvia, but most people find salvia really unpleasant and dissociating. Whereas DMT is (can be) euphoric and life-affirming.
i bought a hundred btc back when it was at a dollar to spend it on drugs
i was user no. 200 on the original silk road, i believe
I wanted to buy but I didnt have much money and the only way to buy it was sending money through paypal as a gift so yeah that scared me away
I was poor
I got in at $300, which wasn't too bad
I was 16 when I first learned about bitcoin, this was 2010.
I tried to get my parents to buy me $20 worth of bitcoin. At the time it was less than a dollar
That $20 would be 2,000,000 today. Bitcoin for me is an eternal reminder of how much more intelligent i am than my parents.
fuck GenX
>16
>Didn't even have $20
How the fuck did you not have 20 dollars of your own money? Why didn't you just get a part time job for ONE DAY? Literally one fucking day. Kys
>In this case darknet market scum buyers and sellers all became millionaires
hahaha you're so incredibly butthurt that people who use drugs got richer than you
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Jow Forums moral policers BTFO
>The risk was apparent to anyone - made-up digital money with no backing that could go poof at any point in time.
You didn't read the whitepaper. Imagine if you had only been smart enough to read the whitepaper.
I honestly just thought it was autism bux never in my mind did I think it could hit 20k
Do I regret not getting in when it was pennies on the dollar? You bet
Am I kicking myself for it? Nah, my life's pretty comfortable already. Would be lovely to not have to work one day but I'm still young
