I got my dick sucked by a hot emo chick from facebook in June of 2010.

Similar boat. I could have been nearly a billionaire. Fuck.

What would this next decade bring us lads?

kek I first heard about it in 2013 when I was 12, and I was obsessed about it, I remember telling my dad after a while that "we'' should invest in it. I think it was about $300 at the time. he didn't buy because it was a drug scam or something

ffw to 2017 and I bought for the first time around $4000

Yes, but did you get your dick sucked by a 19 year old with a tongue ring?

Someone shilled it to me when it was $200. I literally remember telling him to get back to me when it goes back to $20.

>tfw mined btc back then and stopped because it was making my computer unusable
I just wanted money for weed but it took too long

>
you would have sold anyway
if you bought bitcoin at $8, you would have sold if it doubled or reached one hundred dollars

>haha that's just stupid drug money. it'll never be good for anything except silk road drugs. feds are totally gonna shut it down too
me ~2013

probably, but then i would have bought back in when it kept going up and probably not sold at $20k either. whatever. i'm buying btc/eth/link now and not touching it for at least 10-15 years. we'll see if it's worth anything then.

Dad?

False. I would have traded it for drugs

>shitposting goes into overdrive with new freedom
>laptop bites it
>build pc to replace, muh ergonomics and DIY

>be too distracted by vidya and getting Zig Forums to mine on the new pc

FUCK. I had a 7870 too.. not true high end up but would have got the job done. Used that sucker for 2560x1600 gaming up until 2014

I bought at $2, sold at $170

ive been out since, made enough to buy a car but not much else, a lot of people sold because its hard to rationalize when you see 1000% gains and not sell.

Came to post this, it’s easy to play this fantasy with ideal situations, but that’s not how it works. You didn’t have the foresight to buy and hold then so why do you think if you bought some you would have held above $1k+

I just did exactly this
I have never been so depressed in my life, after just reading through the first couple dozen posts
I was one of the dudes who heard about it once or twice back then while shitposting on Zig Forums, but did no research on it and had zero interest in cryptocurrency
I realize that back then there several factors that would have most likely prevented me from getting ultra-cheap BTC (too brainlet to figure out mining and probably couldn't get the necessary computer/hardware to do it, not nearly as easy back then to buy BTC with fiat, the association with illegal drugs and cp, the tons and tons of fud and scam accusations whenever it was brought up, etc.). But still...I can't help but feel regret
I made this same fucking mistake with ETH, XRP and XMR (Monero was actually the worst one for me because unlike with the others, I actually DID see its potential and tried to get some XMR early when it was cheap. But I had a Windows computer and they didn't have a compatible GUI wallet I could use at the time, so I just wrote it off as an amateur project and forgot about it until it mooned (I was only using locally-stored wallets instead of exchanges back then, and I'm not sure if it was on any notable exchange at the time)

remember this when there is blood in the streets

This. Anyone saying theyd buy at $ .001 and sell at $20k is retarted

This is true

This is the god honest truth

I remember buying Bitcoin at ~$30 to buy drugs. I've probably spent over 500k on drugs

Nah man, I'm a collector at heart and it's hard for me to part on valuables/investments even something that seems useless to other people but important to me. My family actually hounds me on it until I show them the price of items and what not.

At least u're not the guy who bought a pizza with like a couple thousand bitcoin back in 2011

pretty much this, i dont blame my younger self for not getting into crypto that early, and even if i did i probably would have had weak hands. I do however kick my past self for not buying bitcoin when it was like $5k at the beginning of this corona crap, seeing as i actually looked at it then and my gut told me to buy it, i was just too meek to get into it at the time.

This is the likeliest outcome, the amount of vidya and drug purchases I would have made with BTC between 2011 and 2017 would have been astounding

If you bought bitcoin at 10k now, you would sell at 20k instead of holding it to 100k

i bet he panic sold

Buying link in 2017 was a terrible move though, relatively there were tons of better plays. Link didn't become a good purchase until after the 2018 crash

yeah I knew one guy who made like 4 mill back in 2014 that's when he sold I think most people would have too im sure he kept some

>tfw the first time hearing about crypto was in 2014 with dogecoin and just thought it was all a big dumb meme
>turns out it wasn't
Joke's on me I guess

Ironically it's likely that I would have hodl more than I do now because back then I was young and thus there was time to enjoy the possible benefits if any. Also I didn't know how bad things could really be in the field I decided to study and work in.

Jej, I could show transactions from 2012. Just cause I couldn’t see the bigger picture then doesn’t mean I haven’t figured a thing or two out over 8 years here :)

If I bought at $2 I wouldn't have sold until at least $1000

The most expensive pizza in human history lmao.

I bought on my 18th birthday. September 27th, 2016. 2 whole btc at $606.24.

Cashed out at $13,214(x2) and blew it ALL in less than one semester. I spent almost all of it on cocaine, trenbolone and plan B.

Haha what a retard

Who broke your heart?

a thot

Nope I wouldn’t.
I already invest 1000 $ with intention of “who cares, 1000$is nothing “
Now imagine I spent 100$ on some shit coin, I would have never sold them

thank you captain hindsight
I guess most of the people who bought at few cents sold it all within few months

>sold them all at $100 each and made a few racks

Lmao you idiots didn't buy at 50 cents and sell at 20K? That's why you're never going to make it

No, I would seriously put 100$ and forget about iT.
I wouldn’t even care for 100$.
It’s 100$ fucking bucks. I wouldn’t have sold it.

Unification will 1,000x by 2022, and all you have to do now is buy and wait.

Few understand this.

there was little information about it during those days unless you specifically hung out on bitcointalk. that also happened to be the best place to buy it. if nobody linked you there you wouldn't have gotten anywhere. the buttcoin forum (yes there was a webpage) was one of the top results for search.
exchanges were a crapshoot too, more than today. The golden period to buy was probably early 2015.

>t. bagholder

I had 70 bitcoin sitting on an external hdd back when i was 12 years old because i read that it was going to be the future of our economy and was braindead retarded and bought into it. Mined 70 coins before stopping because i wanted to play combat arms and it was lagging me. Forgot about the btc and my mother threw away the hdd when we moved. If i had sold at a good price i would have had a million dollars.
>70 btc is sitting in a landfill somewhere probably rotting or already destroyed

Well its still isnt good for anything but it 1000x

Based on how I grow up, I wouldn’t.
Sell them. My dad is a collector, he collected stamps from 200 years ago.
Just checked the price of the stamps, each one can be sold for 10k.
You think I am selling, hell no!
I would not sell the coin either, more likely I still had the coin on hand.

Unironically, I spent 1000$ every month on new exotic coins, just becuase.

Tucking hurts, you basically not only fucked yourself, you also fuck the rest of us by permanently removing 70coins from 21 mik

i was already 27 and lived through the 90s dotcom boom and thought it was a useless 90s kind of internet money (beenz or flooz). i stopped going on Zig Forums for jailbait pictures and stopped going to Zig Forums and never visited /g/ so was never properly shilled

dedication to being a dumb cunt? or do you think he's just pretending to be retarded?

SEC doesnt prosecute, they are a market regulator with a certain range of capabilities regarding fines and trading bans

In my mind, I always go back to 2011, when I first heard about Bitcoin, and I imagine myself mining it and keeping the coins.
How to break this cycle? It makes me depressed.

I remember trying to buy bitcoin for $4 each from Zig Forums but my crappy computer wouldn't connect to the block chain because it would have taken 3 months to do it

Plus i opened an account with MTGOX so i would have lost everything with them

>tfw I was there
>tfw I thought the evil central banks would ban it so it's pointless to invest in it

No you wouldn't. You'd have left it on mtgox or lost your private key or lost it all on a scam shitcoin. Don't delude yourself

God it hurts reading these

I remember around that time hearing about it as a teenager and was thinking about buying some so I could get acid and mushrooms on the silk road but at the time it seemed too complicated to get into so I ended up not. I think about if I had bought bitcoin to buy drugs I probably would have at least a couple bitcoin left in my wallet that I would have forgot about for years. fuck

Unless you had proper backups from that time and stored the private key in base64 encoded format, you wouldn't had any BTC today. Also:

I wish I bought bitcoin in 2011, when I first heard about it.

Do you have a history of hoarding/saving everything else in your life?
I don't mean random medals from high school soccer, I mean stocks and money?

Odds on that you would have sold the coins at 100, or 500, or at most 1000, nobody anywhere predicted the rise to what it is and after all that let's say you did. The market back then was flying by the seat of it's pants.

Where would you have exchanged them at the time?
Exchanges were hacked all the fucking time, you very well likely could have just made some scammer rich.
Do you even think you'd remember your wallet and keys? Or be sure the hard drive would maintain it's integrity for 10 years?

And after all that....that *all* of those factors would line up?

user, there's a reason almost nobody got that lucky and it's because it's next to fucking impossible. Relax, have a laugh about it, it's a nice scenario and I'd be happy for you if you were rich as hell too but it's a fantasy.

The ones we really have to feel sorry for are the guys who bought thousands of them and then threw the hard drives away...those poor cunts need god.

Thanks.
What I really regret is not buying in 2015, when it was 200$ and ETH was 1$ or something like that, but it all seemed too risky.

We are in a similar boat, my dude. I bought at a bunch at ~$30, bought stuff on Silk Road 1.0, and promptly forgot how to access that wallet. Oh well.

Later, I bought more at $600. Not a ton, but enough to make a little bit of money when it exploded.

At the moment I probably have about $5,000 worth.

when i was 10 i heard about it playing counterstrike source, i bought some at 300 when i was a senior in high school. will buy forever never selling.

Pokered away 5btc on sealswithclubs. Was out'played' left and right. Quite sure that site was a honeypot and they made of with millions.

Zig Forums will be the inverse of /g/
buying btc anywhere above $8k right now is a bad idea

So does everyone understand this time?

Don't fucking sell or spend most of your btc

Literally This

God, I haven't seen that interface in so long. Takes me back...

Yes everyone understands and that's why it will never moon hard again. Everybody knows it's a useless meme and holders are just waiting for the greatest fool.

They will be searching for LINK and discover our retarded memes

no you didnt

This is a very underrated reason why many anons who are regretting not getting BTC back then, probably wouldn't have gotten any even if they tried to
You have to remember, before bitcoin was mainstream, it was seen as being shady as fuck due to its use for hard drugs, cp and black market credit card info. And it wasn't just seen this way by normies; even 4channers were wary of it for these reasons
There was a fear back then that putting any of your credit card/passport info on a site associated with bitcoin, was a high risk for getting your personal info stolen in a hack or exit scam
This is a fear that is still present today to a lesser extent. There are anons posting right now who are deep into crypto but have never even thought about giving their credit card or government ID to even the most legitimate regulated crypto exchanges
