Topic: Regret and depression - page 5. (Read 14873 times)
Regret in one's life is definitely bad. Bad experiences should have been a lesson to oneself and should be use for the better. Don't feel sad. You are not alone.
If anyone should have become an overnight millionaire it should have been me. I've been involved in virtual economies for many years now (mmorpg gold exchanges) and if anyone should have had the foresight to become an early adopter of bitcoin it should have been me but instead I was wasting my time fucking around with virtual gold. I wake up every morning feeling depressed.
I go out and bust my ass every day working. I save and invest a percentage of my earnings. When I retire I will be well off. That gives me a great feeling of accomplishment and increases my catalog of knowledge-based skills and experience that increases my confidence levels as well. Stop being depressed and get mad at it, dig deep, bootstrap yourself, stick your nose to the grindstone and go earn and invest wisely, and maybe someday you will be that millionaire. In other words, anger is more useful than depair.

OP sounds like a baby crying .. all of us wish we had gotten into the game in 2009!
think about how many times you probably would have gotten goxxed if you had thousands of coins from 2009 until now
many early whales got fleeced in various scams and had nothing or a small fraction by the time btc went to the moon ($1200)
Some people seem confident that the price of Bitcoin will go up to $10k+ and anything below $1k is a deal. I don't see it. Bitcoin may be deflationary but it's not the only system in place. Unless a large part of the population of the world were forced to used Bitcoin could this happen. And altcoins essentially are deflating the market.
Bitcoin is already the strongest computing power network in the planet surpasing all super computers working at once, this should give you a hint.Once we surpass the credit cards we going 10K.

Bitcoiners hate $Fiat but the only thing they hate more are alternates.
There might be viral coverage of Bitcoin but the masses are still ignorant about it and/or refuse to use it. There were estimates from last year from reputable people like Jeffrey Robinson that there was only 250,000 unique persons using Bitcoin (yes there might be millions of addresses but addresses are not people and most of them are empty). This is compared to where people are definitely interested about crypto currencies but something about Bitcoin if off-putting for them.
Add in the $2 million a day which the high class mining whores are dumping, and early adopters from 2009 who are still selling, I can't forsee Bitcoin going up anytime soon or even years from now.

im glad im getting in now rather than later!!! And there are many more opportunities to be had - financial technology is changing.
I am a little shocked so many people on here are yelling and screaming at this person. Why is it such a big deal even if he is seeking attention, does it take so much effort to just say, hey times can be tough, get up and move on and look at the future? It doesn't kill you is what I am getting at, to be more nice.

This is very true i can only imagine how easy life would be right now if i did but the thing is life is not meant to be easy and gain riches easy, it would destroy the little good we have in this life the struggle it is good for the soul. Cheer up OP it is only a computer program and it is not worth crying over
I have many things that depress me, but missing the BTC boat is not one of them. I missed it, did not have the money to invest at the time and when I did it rose to 1000 so missed that.
Still, bitcoin brings me joy, for the idea of it and the community around it. My bitcoin balance is growing steady, it is something that has a future and I am prepared. And if the boat sinks, I know how to swim

Shouldn't live that way. Regret and depression is terrible thing to have to go through.
Nothing, and I mean nothing should make you feel that way for a prolonged period. Not terrible life decision, not missing the boat on Bitcoin, we're all human, gotta live and learn and motor through...

Alt coins really aren't deflating the market. They only seems to be used on this forum as you can't really spend 99.9% of them anywhere or on anything useful. As for the price it is pure speculation but 1k is of course achievable as it was already there at one point and I think 10k is also possible but we would need a lot of merchant adoption or certain markets or industries to accept or deal in bitcoin but I think we will need to wait several years for that but it is certainly possible. People just don't think it will happen because bitcoin has been so slow moving the past year or so but I'm hoping it will pick up.
If you consider the potential that the price might one day be going up further than what it is today, then by all means it's still not too late. Obviously spending time regretting and getting depressed won't do anything to help. It still goes back to you on how you want change it.
A bird in hand is worth twice in a bush. There is no point in regretting about something one did do or dint think about earlier but there will be more chances in future. Bitcoins are worth more now and investing these bitcoins in a legal website or trade will be a wise option.

While it's pretty agreed upon in BTC land that smaller denominations (e.g. "mBTC") will be referred to more often than BTC, I wonder if the word "bitcoin" will be used more often as the name of the currency (e.g. "cocaine") or as the name of the denomination (i.e. "kilo").
My sides, just a guy who wants to be rich overnight from Bitcoin, nothing to see here guys, just an attention seeker.
Aha you are right to a extent but come on give the guy some love he wishes he could have been here to collect all them cheap coins but missed the boat as did i and i also have a lot of regret and major depression that is a lie and i should not joke, my point is we are all different and some take disappointment harder than others so just spare a thought for are friendly OP.
Hope you feel better soon mate.
