In 2010, I somehow landed at a site selling quantities of Bitcoin for 5 cents each ($0.05/btc), payment through Paypal.
I had never heard of Bitcoins before, and a crude little chart showed the prices had recently gone up 10x (1000%), so they appeared to be really expensive compared to earlier in the year. I was a bit tempted, but did not come close to buying any.
LOL... ?
Yes. Laughing out loud. If you know that Bitcoin average rate would be more than 100 USD you will buy it. The sad thing is you dont know.
My two worst mistakes were:
1. Not getting into Bitcoin when I first heard about it (it was really, really cheap)
2. Gambling away .5 BTC right before it hit it's peak (~1 month), then selling the other .5 for ~$50
I'd like to believe that I'm smarter now, but I have no idea.
Learning from
a two mistakes made you a smarter person. Right before it hit peak? What is the peak - 100?
I mined a whole bitcoin back when they were worth pennies and didn't save the wallet address
