Topic: Worst mistake you did with Bitcoin? - page 100. (Read 135255 times)

hei mate we have the same age
2010 you've heard about bitcoin? its so cool
in 2010 i dont even know about paypal lol
i realize that i was not  an early adopter,but who knows 5 years latter 1 bitcoin is $ 10k
or more who knows

i have said it before and i will say it again. most cloud mining companies are not to be trusted. you cant even really tell if they are mining or not.

My 3 biggest mistakes were all in the year 2011. I went through the hassles to buy bitcoin back then. And i played it agressively invested a pretty large sum for me. Mistake here? 3 Things:

1. I thought that bitcoin is a pump and dump sheme. So i got mentally totally prepared to sell it. I didn't really trust Mtgox but thought they had a professional trading plattform. So when btc started falling from 30$ i pressed the sell button, but my order was not going through so i was hammering my keyboard, beeing total in awe for about 10min (worst 10min of my life) when the order finally got through i was totally goxed. To believe that Mtgox had a professional trading engine was a big mistake.. Today when i think about it i can only laugh that i thought --something-- could have been professional about Mtgox... After that i really added this on my mental list of trading risks: when trading underground plattforms, do not expect that you are able to sell any minute you want to.

2. In the then falling market i did something you should never do: I tried daytrade and make some of my losses back, result: more losses.

3. After bitcoin then in 2011 fell, i thought "well that's the end of this pump and dump". I was clever enough to make myself an Outlook reminder for 6 Months later to check prices again - but it didn't help. I looked at the chart mumbled something about "well it stabilized, but i don't know" and forgot about it. If i had have been checking this 3 months later or so, i would have made the investment of my life so far.

Not be an early adopter. I heard about bitcoins around 2010. Too bad, I was 14, didn't understand anything.

Another worst mistake I did with my beloved bitcoin is the Scrypt.cc saga way back on my first journey in bitcoin last March this year. Why it's a mistake? You already know but good thing I get back my ROI. I only invested a small amount there but that amount was big enough for me that time since I don't have an idea in signature campaign and only rely on faucets way back then.

worst mistake was ignoring btc back in 2010. Seemed cool and all but i saw people saying its a scam and wont get very far, and i listened to them.

We had the same mistakes , LOL. I think there are more like us made the same mistake and we should make a club haha. Due to my greed and being naive, I was also scammed by ponzis

1 BTC???

Shit!

It's very bad... :/

I have done many bitcoin mistakes such investing into alt coins scams, but my worst mistake was when I once sent around 1 btc to the wrong address. Always double check the address before sending any bitcoin.

Waste my time on faucets and gambling bitcoin on a site with bad reputation or didnt pay

yes i also used to not know how to invest hyip work, because I see the results of other people who could multiply the money in a short time. but it does not work well on me 

same mistake. i wasn't aware that time of how HYIP and ponzi works, all i know is that i will invest to the site and i will get guaranteed returns + high profit but i was wrong all the time , i invested a large amount i can do and lose it all when the site turned scam. that was the biggest mistake i did with bitcoin (so far )

playing investing in hyip and I tried my first direct investment with a fairly large value, then they scam 

Which cloud mining did you invested in? I invested in btc-flow and only got half of my investment.

My worse mistake was i buy a cloud mining contract.  Never invest high amounts of BTC in things like cloud mining and ponzi schemes.

I did this mistake recently too. ;(

I wqs playing oambling on luckyb.it at 0.002BTCper bet on red line.... I wanted to change fees and wanted to add another 0 in fees and mistakely i added it in. Amount and went on losing 0.02BTC 

i am sure im not the only one with this mistake,
 the worst mistake i did with bitcoin is selling it when the price go down , i panicked that time and i really regret it

In 2011 the price of computers especially graphic cards (in your case Readon 6950) was extremely expensive. But panic forces you to sell at lower price . Hope this will never happen again.

I don't remember the exact details, also price was fluctuating a lot that days.In the middle of 2011 the first serious bitcoin bubble poped and I sold some BTCs @40$ in panic
