1: investing in the DAO and than get screwed.
2: Keeping my bitcoins at BitFinex and losing them all after the hoax.
3: Buying bitcoin back again at the top of 2016 = approx. 750 dollar a piece.
4: After buying btc I found out my pc was infected by a bitcoinstealer.exe and my bitcoins are stolen again.
5: I threw my pc out of the window and bought a new pc, the end..

I may think if this can't get explain, every time I was making my fault and all of the faults it worst.
But bitfinex and DAO was becoming the worst one ever.

My biggest mistake with bitcoin is that I wasted so much time gathering dust and not paying closer attention to the things that mattered most, However, there are no regrets, I have settled to see all that as necessary learning period. Other than that, the days I saw the exchanges as reliable entities to entrust my coins in their hands were a big mistake, I know better now and so do many bitcoiners.

The only mistake I made was when I invested some of my bitcoin in a doubler. I was quite depressed and stressed having lost my money it was like I made an investment today and they went away with my money the very next day. It was my hardly earned money. But they taught me a lesson and now I don't trust such scammers.

Disregarding Bitcoin when I first heard about it. To my defense, it's wasn't nicely presented to me, unfortunately Cheesy

how much was BTC worth the first time you acquired it ?

Don't really remember... Around 400$ maybe if I'm not mistaken

A bit late. Bought in very low quantities.

We all made mistakes in bitcoin, either trading, investing, coding.

Other than not buying bitcoin at 0.01$ per coin when it started, what is your biggest mistake you did ?

I don't ever consider as a mistake if a person isn't able to bought bitcoins at any cheap rates it was passed since after all we didn't know what will be the price of it later. I considered that as a regret instead and to cope up with that regrets we have to act the moment we think the price is right to buy coins and "face all the possible risks" after putting money on this crypto.

Majority of bitcoin mistakes activity are those things that we already know what will be the possible output, at least, e.g investing on a ponzi or cloudmining scheme, putting money on web wallets, exchange site activities etc. Some mistakes are also human errors, like sending to a wrong wallet address, not enhancing the security of the coins, lost backup etc.

I'm just getting started, so I still have yet to make any sort of mistake. I'm hoping that I never do, but chances are I'm going to end up screwing myself over one way or another.

Would it be worth it to avoid investments for the first while and watch to see which ones turn out to be scams, fraud or whatever?

You wont learn by just watching, you gotta experience it.
Invest in stuff but go in small, if you think you can afford losing $5 in a coin that seems interesting and might get you $150 reward - do it. But don't invest $100 until you know your stuff!

The link for a miner in a new coin OP had a virus that gave somebody full access to my computer. A root kit. Dont rust links on this site.

Website link ?

Better not post it in here, mayby U will get seen as a virus spreader and will get banned.
Do not post any link that contains a virus, do not even click on links which u do not trust. Malicous sites are able to put stuff on your computer without u even knowing, believe me I experienced that by just clicking a link from here...

I and my cousin sold a coin that was worth nothing (we had a lot of it, like 1.5-2 btc each), 1 day later it got pumped 1000% and held steady for a good while

) (could it have been leafcoin?)

Or when I mined about 80k blackcoin at launch, sold them at $0.05, bought back 10k at $0.15 then sold them at $0.5.

All this was back in early 2014

EDIT: Oh yeah, I mined BTC 2009 or 2010, had a bunch of them (around 100). My other cousin told me it was illegal and that I'd get in big trouble cuz of those BTC. I bought games for them. I still have 10 BTC laying around on a HDD which is ruined.

My biggest mistake was ... not buying bitcoin when I have seen for the first time a news on a local magazine about the currency Sad

(around 2011)
what a big mistake Sad

really hard to accept ... but life must go on also without this good investment in a proper time

for me my biggest mistake was when i sent bitcoins as a payment for something i purchased from a friend and cost 0.005.. i accidentally alter or changed one letter of his btc address.. the last letter. so there, i lost my 0.005 and have to pay the same amount to my friend.. lesson learned, BE CAREFUL!

I was so ashamed of myself I even sold my 4 stars bitcointalk account... Slowly getting back in with what I've learnt in the past years.

I was scamed by cloudminr.io as well, but at least I got my ROI + 50% ( around 1,500 USD invested initially ) and it was because I sold my account to someone else that got burnt afterwhile, like many others that were late investors.

So now I'm holding btc, nxt and Ardr, for longterm, mainly Ardr.

Americans do it better

The worst mistake wasn't with bitcoin directly itself.
But with a person that I sent to first.
They did not deliver what they promised they would send to me for sending them bitcoins which can not be reversed.
