Topic: Regret and depression - page 7. (Read 14919 times)
The problem with new bitcoin users is their way of thinking. Bitcoin isn't a get-rich-quick scheme as most of the users think. Though you've missed the big opportunity, think of what the future might have in store for you. Bitcoin still has a lot of things to achieve, and the fact that we haven't exited the beta phase yet only adds up to the surprise it may bring. Cheer up man.
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.
It still might not be too late to get into Bitcoin.
Prices are substantially lower than what they were 6 months / 1 year ago.
You got what you truly deserve IMHO... you came with wonderlust, greed in your eyes but nothing in your brain and lost.
I remember the time I could have bought Bitcoin @ 100 for $0.01 and thought back then, that's too expensive for not really real money.
However, I didn't do my homework and lost. Simple as that. See me whining like a little girl? No! I got what I deserved! lol
Shit happens, deal with it... #TheCaliforniaGoldRush
This is what we are living right now, it's all about who can find the most gold, and whom can bring it back home with them.
Many miners, nor their gold, ever made it back home if you catch my drift.... my ancestor was one who one time, didn't make it home once.
Got an issue? Have a tissue

Don't worry, there is always another opportunity around the corner. Granted, this was a big one, but won't be the last. Chin up!

Cheer up man, not everything is possible in this short life.

Everyone also thought that it should have been them that became a millionaire among others, and it's not just you. Wasting time? Why waste time buddy? Time is money! And money is valuable! Well it's not yet late to become a millionaire, if that's what you want. There are many opportunities out there that you can use to gain leverage and reach your millions.
How can you judge yourself?
Maybe you did something wrong ?

OK so you missed the first boat, the other boats are boarding right now!!
Get your stash of BTC by whatever means you can and hold onto them with an optimistic view of the future.
Price may be around $235 (at time of post) but you will be laughing maybe in a few years time knowing that you held onto your BTC nice and tight and that you are on that other boat that is sailing into the sunshine

It could go away if you succeed in something somehow, maybe in bitcoins, start getting some in case it appreciates in price if you like bitcoin.

That's the story of half of people here!

also, it is much better to miss an opportunity rather than to buy at the peak of a bubble and never see that price again.

look into Organovo holdings man.. stocks! 
Well, there is nothing to regret about. We are still in early stage of Bitcoin so i bet there will be lot of possibilities and chances to make life out of it if you work hard.
Indeed, we are all still pioneers but to reap the benefits we'll need 10 years when people that were there in 09-12 are already retired if they invested just a bit.many of those 09-12 investors didnt wait for the later ath to cashout, so rare are the ones that made significant profit (that they could if they just waited).
same thing will probably happen again , but the question is when. reading stuff like this makes me highly optimistic long term (https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-foundation-launches-public-education-campaign-bitcoin/)
cheers
Finding the next big thing is already near impossible in life and now that bitcoin already exists, the probability of becoming an overnight millionaire by being an early adopter of another coin is near zero. I know people will say keep trying but I know in my heart bitcoin was my one and only way of becoming a millionaire in life and it was right under my nose.
I listen to this everyday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FjbEj6rmNg. It encapsulates my very real possibility of becoming very wealthy and my regret extremely well.

There's a lot more to life than becoming very wealthy, most of the rich people I know are chronically depressed.
A lottery winner brought a Rolls Royce, parked it outside the supermarket, and found someone had keyed the paintwork when he came back out. He advised other winners never to par their car anywhere public and expect it to be safe. Other lottery winners have said they got a lot of jealousy from people. No wonder most of the rich people you know are chronically depressed.
What rich people do you know unless you live in an elite condominium in Manhattan full of them?
Besides who cares about a keyed paintwork. That's why you have 2 cars (or 12+ cars like a lot of lottery winners and/or rich people do) and can put them in the shop if one of the cars gets vandalized.
Problem with Bitcoin can be all these get quick rich kids. Bitcoin, according to Jeffrey Robinson, is only 250,000 users (and many wallets barely contain any sizable amounts) and yet has a capitalization it is already worth more than many companies around the world which have millions and tens of millions of customers.
That 250,000 figure might not be correct. The truth is we don't know exactly how many Bitcoin users there are but there are indications that the number is higher than 250,000. Freebitco.in has over 1 million accounts. Coinbase alone has over 2 million wallets despite only being available in 19 countries (and even less a few months ago). Since they also implement AML/KYC laws, it would be rather unlikely for users to have multiple wallets there. Blockchain.info has 3 million wallets.
I've seen estimates ranging from 250,000 to as high as 10 million:
Quote
Shalek, the Ribbit Capital partner, told the audience during the closing panel:
"Bitcoin has this promise of enabling innovation. There are already 10 million people or more using bitcoin."

The true number is probably somewhere in between the two extremes.
Jeffrey Robinson is an objective source and he came to that analysis based on market activity and other documents. Your source comes from a company which had every intention to inflate (exaggerate and even lie) to command a premium for their IPO.
I've read allegations that if Dread Pirates and Charlie Shrem were "hodl", instead of selling early and then getting into illegal activity, that they would had made way more money and they wouldn't be behind bars today.
Both Shrem and Ulbrict were doing ok with their money and were earning much more running their businesses whether legal or ilegitimate. Shrem was actually running a legit business but just got caught up in the bad side of it. I'd say there's far more money to be made from bitcoin yet so it would be a good idea to set up a business to aquire as many coins as you can for the future as bitcoin today could be worth peanuts compared to its potential future value.
No they weren't. Both had many tens of thousands of Bitcoins and back when Bitcoin was $1000 that would had been way more money than they were collecting (themselves personally) running their businesses. Sure a lot of money went through their two organization but that wasn't their money and it doesn't compared to the prospect if, they were hodl, having $30+ million in the bank.
Well, there is nothing to regret about. We are still in early stage of Bitcoin so i bet there will be lot of possibilities and chances to make life out of it if you work hard.
