If you've been here since 2012 and you haven't made a lot of money and you're not holding a lot of bitcoins, you're doing something wrong.
Even if you sold a lot of $10 coins when the price hit $100, you should still have hundreds or thousands left to hold.
Or are you one of those bears who thought that bitcoins were overpriced in the $5-$10 range, expected them to go back down under a dollar and never bought while they were cheap?
Perhaps if you spent less time worrying about the "countless others" who supposedly "ruined their lives" and more time getting your own affairs in order then maybe you could have joined the countless others who made a lot of money with Bitcoin since 2012.
I guess it isn't as hard as you may think, it just takes a few bad trades, a wrong investment, or just losing all your coins on Gox - I really don't think that there are only a few people who experienced such a story. In that case it may be the best for your mental health to keep telling yourself that BTC is going to fail...
