not playing on seals in 2012 when there were pots played for hundreds of BTC, and like 2-3 good players on the whole site. One of them won over 2000 coins in 2012...

Have you tried poker shibes?
Maybe the doge community is big enough to have a large variety of players/gamblers, I haven't tried it yet but I'm interested.

ALL of them won 2000 BTC and more.

There were crazy PLO8 games on 200/400 chips tables. But 40 BTC was really nothing back then Sad

Investing a huge amount of money in the Coin2x scam, it went down 3 hours before my payment.
Unlucky but... very stupid decision.

Putting nearly all my Bitcoin in the PirateAt40 scam and not pulling out even though somebody specifically warned me about him just before it ended.

I kept some bitcoin on inputs.io Cry

It was less than 1 bitcoin, and I recovered 70% of the loss in the initial payouts from TradeFortress. Unfortunately, I was also advertising for inputs.io at the time....felt pretty dirty.

Ouch. That hurts alot.

i left some bitcoin on an exchange account (bitstamp, but it could have been anywhere) without a strong password OR 2-factor authorization. (i know, i know) .... it was back when bitcoins were only worth < $70, so it didnt seem like that much money. hurts to think about now. Undecided

Not selling any coins in Jun 2011 was my worst decision.

Not buying any coins in Jun 2011 was my worst decision. Sad

Because that was around the time I first heard about the concept of Bitcoin.

BTC was what? $15-30 back then? That is still an enormous bargain compared to now...

EDIT: I once heard that most of the people who became rich off BTC weren't the early adopters but the ones who bought in 2011. Many early adopters either lost their coins or sold them too early.

Indeed, if you had coins from when they were worth 0.1$ each, it would be hard not to sell them when to went 100x to 10$.
But I'm sure there have been some believers with strong hands

Like many others the worst mistake i made was gambling. Lips sealed

It was fun when the BTC price was like 80$ and i was risking about 10-20$ but when it went to 1000$ i regret a little. But, oh well cannot predict any future.Also dont know anybody offering this service for BTC Cheesy

Not getting into mining when I first read of Bitcoin on spring 2010.

Same, but in about October 2010. After that, in my next experience with BTC, buying 2 BTCs at $40 each. And still dont start mining Grin

Actually: Not have been bold enough to mortgage my home to buy a shitload of BTCs at 350€ each. But oh well.

Selling all of my 192BTC for 5$ each.

It probably felt like a lot back then, when did you buy back?

I wish that I would have put a lot more money into BTC from the start. I only wish I heard about it in 2011 and got in then. I didn't hear about BTC until later. I also lost a bit in ASICs. I've been trying to stay away from that for awhile.
