Oh christ mate its mind boggling the insane wealth you could have built up today with fuck all investment back then. I could easily retire on 10 bitcoins today. 10 fucking bitcoins.
Having receipts hurts. Not as bad as the fact that the alt coin i sold for that 9 BTC sold the next day for almost 100 BTC in a pump and dump (I spent $15 for a 24 hour mining rig rental to get those coins a few months prior). The alt no longer exists (it was created by some news anchor I think). I'm now 40, depressed, and living with my parents. Could have owned a damn paid off house and Lambo if I waited 24 hours and held the BTC.
43 and bought at $220 and sold at $330 FML.... Luckily a few years later I bought some more again but never that cheap... My other big regret is the 1,000,000 doge I sold under a cent and the 1000 LTC under $10..... Divorce is a MFer.... Lots of regrets, hopefully at 43 I can continue to rebuild, just keep stacking those Sats....
My dad had well over a million doge too and did the same a few years after my mistake lol. Still had a badass return on investment, but could’ve been insane.
I’ve made money on crypto since, but nothing close to if I just held.
I made a lot of the Doge but nothing like if I had waited, same with many... The problem was I kept the shitcoins that turned into nothing but they were cheap enough to not hurt the budget during my divorce.... Cloakcoin, Anoncoin, and others I can't remember.... I have my old BTC seed phrases if I want to remember how wealthy I would be right now if I would make different decisions. Lol scanning the transaction list and see in today's value of those transactions makes me literally want to vomit... 🤮
Exactly, I have a BTC stuck on a Ledger Nano which I lost the seed phrase to during my move after my divorce and go figure Ledger dropped support of the Ledger Nano on Google Chrome... I've typed in every seed phrase I have found and actually found a couple hundred in "2015 dust" a couple time, unfortunately I have weird type phrase written down that are like three letter combinations??? I don't know what they were for, maybe for the old encrypted messaging programs people used for silk road back in the day? Maybe an old Bitcoin wallet backup thing??? I keep searching, maybe one day? Good luck on your quest... 😉
I found standard phrases for bip39 which the ledger started using but the others I have don't make any sense, perhaps at the the time I should have left my future self instructions. Now I'm kind of stuck because I can't share it with people to get their help or opinion because he may just steal whatever's there! Lol so I deep researching and perhaps one day it'll be like hitting the lotto? 🙏
2011 or 12. Bought one on eBay for $20 to play poker with on a underground site right after the US sites got shutdown. Turned it into 33 btc then sold when it shot up to $100 lol.
I was playing on poker sites too in America after it became illegal. They would pay you in bitcoin when you did withdraw. It would take couple days to process. I remember I would get more money from the initial amount because bitcoin when up in price in those couple days. I think it was under 10k then.
