I would do what you exactly did back in 2011. But at the period, I did not know about bitcoin. I only knew about it in the beginning of 2017. That's why we should learn from our mistakes. We must seize every single opportunity and work hard because we do not know what the future holds. To feel dumb is not a mistake, but if you do not pay attention or try to improve yourself and remain in the dumb level, you will remain dumb forever.
That’s what I want to say. It’s a smart move to get into crypto trading the moment you learn about because it’s the most powerful trading market especially if are trading with bitcoins. Bitcoins are the new rulers of the world and it’s prudent to buy as much bitcoins as you can.

While you lost the bitcoin train that does not mean you need to lose all the other trains at the station, look for an altcoin that you think has potential and invest in it, you could lose money but if make your homework then you could easily make incredible returns with that investment and then buy bitcoin with your earnings you had. 
I totally agree with bitbunnny. You feel so smart when you sell a coin that made you a 10X profit and you feel so dumb after a while when it made another 10x.
I talked to a lot of people, everyone has something to tell you about that, different coin, but some story. It seems a very common pattern in crypto.

I think the easiest way to feel dumb or smart regarding Bitcoin is trading. I know by my own experience. Sometimes when I make some decision and invest my money I feel so smart but at the end when I loose I feel very dumb. But I guess this is hard to avoid.
I joined the bitcoin system around 2011 (to get a good knowledge on bitcoin and other crypto currencies aka altcoins) I am a student and my sourrending environment humans have no idea on bitcoin(except my family). So I feel dumb because I have seen it rising everyday but I ont have any money to buy bitcoins or to save it. but I feel smart because other people can not understand it like I did. an even if they tried to earn it the also they will take around huge time.

I feel dump for not taking an action. I wasted my time hanging out with friends, playing computer games back in 2009. If I had done my research and found my way into bitcoin, I might have made a good fortune by now. But I do feel Smarter than my friends who are still not interested in crypto currency and view it has a joke. I pray they would truly understand the power of crypto currencies in future.
I think if you stick into your past and be regretful for the rest of your life it will not be fair. There is a huge number of Bitcoin users who have done all these things in the past but now they have concentrated on the future task. I think it is better to move forward and take some good steps. We are still lucky that we are earning right now with bitcoin, there are people who besides knowing bitcoin are wasting their time. This is how what makes us smarter.
that is true, no matter how bad your past is, as long as you want to change into better then you are deserve to do the better thing that you want. we know that we made a mistake in the past by not buying in that time and we are now feels regret but i think we should not worried about our past because i am sure that there is still a chances for us to join into the party, in this case, we can make sure that we have bitcoin when the price is on the higher price.
I believe important things happen when and because they need to happen. For who wasn't aware about Crypto-Currency in 2011, If you haven't known it before it's because it wasn't the right time for you, don't feel sad about it, you should feel good as you know Bitcoin now and it's still possible to make fortune by using Bitcoin. To play games, hang out with friends is a good memory, at least you used your time well.
So I'm back. You might not recognize this account , but that is because i made only a few posts around 2011. I was there at basically the beginning. I could be rich right now.. That's an odd thought! I was there, but i didn't put the time or effort in. Now im back, Bitcoin is higher than i ever thought it'd be, and i'm trading on exchanges. Live and learn. I feel dumb for not staying in, but smart for getting back in. What were you doing Bitcoin wise in 2011? Did you even know about Bitcoin?
Here the story is totally same that I have but I madey comeback soon of 2015 after 2011 .Since in the started I entered in the Bitcoin then not much sites were available to do study about it and everything was no much easier to understand because no friends at any place were available to explain me , but after 2011 I entered in this field of 2015 last and found that here the sites and blogs are available in thousands and they are also available in the local language which is much easy to understand .
Then after that I made study for one complete and also made study better way of earnings .And then finally came at trading and signature campaign which much profitable even today .
And now today I have knowledge about the Bitcoin and other cryprocurrency about 80-90% because I have much experience of trading that how to keep himself away from the loss and big risk by using small small technology .

Yes better leave the past behind and look the present and the future to start again and do what you just missed in the past. Besides we can't bring back the past, we were just be sorrowful if we think that. Now be smart and use your resources and capabilities to do more interesting things. Don't repeat what you're mistakes instead take this as a new learning.

The best strategy is that you are smart before you feel dump. You need to think about what will happen when it's dumped so that you can think what you will do for that situation. When it happens, you won't be stupid 
You made your account since 2011 and decided to go back,I appreciate your will though. You never loses until you fight for your hope and beliefs.
Who would know what will happen back then even the greatest trader doesn't know this will be gonna happen(My opinion). Atleast you decided to go back and started all over again compare to not doing at all the work and keep watching the biggest regret of your life to eat you until your last day with the earth.
Cheers for your comeback, if you got dumbed before don't be dumber and even dumbest, peace out.
It is not too late, bitcoin although it is expensive could really skyrocket in the near future with the activation of segwit, so right now is the right time to try to get as much bitcoin as we possibly can since I think bitcoin dominance will rise once again and much of the money riding in altcoins at the moment is going to pour into bitcoin once again.Who would know what will happen back then even the greatest trader doesn't know this will be gonna happen(My opinion).

Bitcoin never falls I think compare to any other altcoins that is why they are called alts, BTC is always no.1 in crypto currency market cap since then but again who knows what will happen, Bitcoin is still in an infant stage said by many geek on it and as we see they are still developing it continuously.
Bitcoin will survive no matter what if you think it is and with that its price will grow more times at is before and keep breaking the record.
I was feeling dumb and smart in same time when I was gambling at dice site and I was feeeling so dumb because I clicked all in on wrong button but I winned so I was smart because I withdrawaled all my coins and I was really happy.

If look back in 2011, honestly I do not know about bitcoin maybe I will do the same thing as you. i my opinion not many people think bitcoin can grow as much as it is today maybe there are only some people who believe or have great luck because they can buy bitcoin at cheap price.and there are some people that just forget their bitcoin in their wallet then boom there is a big profit that happened. Though mostly of us dont really expect it, and some are trusting the capabilities of the bitcoin so they take a risk and now i could could consider that they are successful and really earn a ton of profit.
On the other hand, if we regret it way back 2011 on not holding a piece of bitcoin but now we should save a bitcoin for the future because we are sure that bitcoin will be more higher

Well to be true to you, we are actually the same back at the time like 2011 or 2012 one of my friend in HS was actually investing on bitcoin and he told me about it and I was pretty dumb that I did not look really into it and what it can do in the future. I was really dumb at that time for not investing on it knowing what it is because I just though it was nothing it was just a scam or its just like Paypal were you put money in to it and you can buy something on the web but I was wrong, he was actually investing and doing dump and pump. I regret that time that I did not take the time to check what is bitcoin., I actually just started investing and earning bitcoin in campaign here in bitcointalks this year were the price of bitcoin is pretty high and I can't afford to buy in real money but the good thing is that now I have the knowledge and save some to invest on bitcoin. We all have regrets but late is better than doing nothing right?.

I wish I knew about BTC in 2011. I would not have squandered the opportunity that you were gifted.
