Not paying attention to bitcoin when I first learned about it back in 2011. I saw the price rise to $30 then crash to $3 and even made an account on Mt Gox and browsed some threads on Bitcointalk.org but I never bought any BTC until a couple of months ago.

My first asic miner pointed at ZetaCoin for about two weeks. I averaged down my position as it dropped from 800 satoshis down to 150, at which point I was sitting on about 8 million zet. Went to sleep with that whole balance in BTC and woke up to zetaCoin at 5200!! Would have been worth almost $50k at that point.

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

I lost about 35 btc in securities scams i forget the name of it. But really if I had just held all the btc i have mined I would have been a millionaire.

Tired out a ponzi and bought some cloud mining from bit-mining.co

My losses are around .25 from those experiments. Not a really high price for a couple of lessons learned for sure. They were quite painful at the time because I had an even tinier stake than my current tiny stake.

Friend tried to convince a group of us to start mining Bitcoin back in January 2011.  Read the Wiki, didn't really care for it along with the rest of the group.  

If I had bought back then at $10 or wherever it was trading, I probably would've sold at $18 or the next peak at $30 anyway.  Undecided

Losing my first 3 BTC to a stupid scam. Then selling out the rest at 380/BTC.
I've bought back in since. I'm going to hold until it peaks past 1k. May sell some then. If BTC does continue falling, it's something I'm going to have to deal with. I will not panic sell. EVER!
I'm committed to my BTC (and LTC) Smiley

I once was offered to be paid $300 in BTC while it was around $8... I told the guy to pay me in cash because I did not want any of this fake internet scam money, I thought I was smarter than him.
I am not a smart man  Undecided

i sold my bitcoin at the price of 30 usd last year,it's a nightmare for me everyday.

What happened, that's happened, don't worry now about that! I believe it's not the biggest mistake person can make!  Wink

making strange decisions of putting a lot of my pay packet onto BITGive and other ponzi schemes then fully understanding that i was too late in the game... after 3 attempts of getting a return, learnt my lesson


edit: possibly CEX.IO, starts good then Fees are noticeable as time goes on

90 coins wtf?Huh

Most members that had coins when they were sub 20$ spent/lost/misplaced a lot of coins

When referring to an old post in the thread you can quote it, it's not obvious you are referring to it even if it is the first post in the thread :

IGG = 35 cents / million now.

Wow that is a bad beat. I lost a ton on SatoshiDice and sold some coins at a very cheap rate. I would of had about 20K if I held onto my coins. I'm still happy though as I love that I know of Bitcoin now. I really see this as the beginning of the game.

Worst decision i made is , making vanity address on that scam vanity pool site. They robbed me of 0.4 btc.

There are so many lessons to be learned from that thread

0.4 is not too bad
