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:

The true number is probably somewhere in between the two extremes.

Ha, you don't need a girlfriend to be livin' well. You ain't even pimpin' if you admit to having just one girlfriend! Saying zero is better than saying one.

Head up buddy everything that can happen has already happened life is but a dream, you are luckier than a millionaire just being here and being able to tell us your pain!

We all have it and that is good that is what makes us human and that is what makes us alive! Being a millionaire etc will be good but finding someone you truly love and spend the rest of your days with them is a million times better!!

If you do not cheer up you miss the true gold! If you have her and you are depressed etc you need to sort yourself out lol

We are on a rock/water flying threw space at 18.5miles (A second) about 67,000 miles per hour.we have no insurance we are part of a solar system that is a small part of a galaxy that is moving 220 kilometers per second about (490,000 miles per hour!)

Our Milky Way galaxy is part of a cluster of galaxies we refer to as the “local group.” Together, they are cruising through space at an astounding 1000 kilometers per second 2 000 000 MILES PER HOUR!It seems that we're in a hurry to get wherever we're going, so the next logical question would be why do you care about the little things 

Good luck and cheers up!!

It might never happen

Having millions of dollars worth of BTC would be nice but even having just enough to own a small house or having enough invested for the returns to be enough to pay the rent would be good enough. After all, how would someone make a good peacemaker, healer, restorer, etc. if they are homeless and constantly hungry? Being an early adopter would help this regard.

It's easy to say in retrospect but most people wouldn't have the confidence of faith to put even £200 into what at the time was just new magical internet money which could have easily just become worthless, but it's those that do take the risks that are rewarded (or lose all their money  ).

Same here, I think the problem was I didn't trust my instincts enough, I bought 6 at around $2 each, would have been comparatively trivial for me to buy £200 worth and sold half when they hit $1000.
We were just too timid, never mind, it is still early days.

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.

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.

No one should life with regrets, especially with regards to Bitcoin.  Believe me if all of us knew Bitcoin would go from $0 to $1200 in 2013, we'd all be millionaires.

But that doesn't mean getting involved now is too late.  There's just so much positive news and potential for this 6 years young currency.  Don't listen to the naysayers or trolls, and just stick it out.  Crypto is the future, and you wouldn't join this forum if you didn't think so.

Keep your chin up, broski.

We all get that feeling, of throwing the towel in and saying "fark it". But life always throws second chances.

We don't need another millionaire, and besides there is no room for you at the top of the pyramid.

“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”
― David Orr

Regret and depression because of the price ?
You should know about that, and if too depressed then selling is the best thing to do.

The earliest adopters of Bitcoin had to wait almost 5 years, although many sold before then.  It must had been emotional torture, before the 2013 boom, for an early adopter to refrain from spending their coins.  After all we had that one guy spent 10,000 Bitcoins on a Pizza.

 OP would would had seen $10 or $50 Bitcoin aid said to themselves: "this is the peak!  Dump!" or wouldn't be able to resist the lure of spending $50K in free money on a new car or a series of vacations.  

  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.

As for people here who are burning alternates - if you had bought BTC in late 2013, at $1250, you since lost ~75%.   True a lot of (especially $hitcoin) alternates also went down but many of the better alternates still have many people (initial buyers) who have seen net gains.  If I was BTC only, I would have lost  75% of my money and then I would be depressed and wouldn't be here.  

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.

I wonder what ud say if your mom was in his shoes. Would u tell your mom to get a girlscout cookie?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

bacon

To name but three

I wish I became a millionaire though. Apart from anything else; that would buy a lot of bacon.

There's a lot more to life than becoming very wealthy, most of the rich people I know are chronically depressed.

I'm pleasantly surprised by how sensitively a lot of people handled this. The internet isn't always known for its sympathy and decency.

Cookies for all, especially the OP who gets an extra big one

Yes. Almost 6 month i know btc and i enough happy, because i can save although untill now i not rich.
