Screw It, Let's Do It

Bought only 10k coins @ 2$ (instead of a few 100k).
Never thought this ponzi will get above 100$ Wink

Still a decent profit. Just need to find the private key.

Seems like the common mistake was not hodling .

Yep, exactly. I really wish I had kept the few bitcoins I sold last summer.

Buying only 1 coin for $8 when I could of bought a lot more. But that 8 dollars in cash turned out to be a pretty could investment. The decision was good but bad because of missed opportunity.

Firstbits: Compromised. Thanks, Android!

1) A couple years back I experimented with brainwallets, and decided to test the concept by memorizing a long key to be hashed, and destroying all paper copies of the key. The key wasn't tied to any of my passwords, or any other information I would have access to. I *intended* to recite or write down the key regularly, but, well, let's just say that bitcoin is forever lost now....

2) A couple months ago the boss needed some computer software he was having a hard time finding. I checked bitcoinstore.com, and saw they had it, and offered to buy it from them (I knew their delivery times were awesome.) I never use exchanges, but the plan was to spend the coins that Thursday evening, then that weekend while traveling, use localbitcoins.com to buy more, since I'd had plenty of success with them. Bitcoin had been steady at about $120 or so up until then. The NEXT DAY I saw the price had jumped. I totally crashed and burned with localbitcoins that weekend--no one was free to meet (that, or they all just wanted to hold onto their coins,) and I wept as the price crept over $1000 before I was able to acquire more. Six bitcoins worth of software bought, replaced with a fraction of that. Never again... from now on, I get the replacement coins FIRST.

In November 2012 I was offered beautiful Alfa GT and decided to buy it, but was little short of money. After some brainstorming where to find the rest, I remembered that I have bitcoins collecting dust on some usb stick, leftover from mining which I've quit in late 2011 when btc price has dropped to 2-3$. So I happily sold 144 btc for ~12$ each. But even if I haven't bought that car, I am pretty sure I wouldn't have a nerve to wait for big 3-digits, let alone 4-digits price.

At least it's easier for me to think that way

Mining 10,000 coins, selling them at $2 a pop because money was tight. I told everyone this is the next big thing, then ignored my own advice. That was an $8,000,000 mistake. Wish I had forgot about a few.

Joining the bay area bitcoin meetups in 2011, meeting lots of entrepreneurs with great ideas who wanted to work with me, even pay in bitcoins, then moving away for a new comfortable salaried job.

Buying in at $200 a few months ago when I again realized I hadn't missed the boat, then selling at $300 for a quick buck thinking I could buy back in.

Buying in again at $1000, then the crash happened.

Getting hacked at MtGox, CampBX, Inputs.io

I made a lot of "almost" right decisions. No more trading for me Tongue

Attempting to buy BTC on eBay was the worst BTC choice I made. Just don't do it.

My only regret is not spending my life savings on Bitcoin back when I first learned about it, when it was going for $15 a piece.

Oh well.

Same here...
I was even on the casascius website and very tempted ti buy a 10BTC silver coin...

Oh welll, jumped in with 10% of my savings when it was 50 USD. Did not turn out a bad decision, but wished I bought more...
