What were you doing 2009-2013? Why weren't you acquiring Bitcoin?

that heel looks smelly.

Same here bro. There were many BTC threads on /b/ back in the day and I completely dismissed it.

I thought it was just like some scammy PayPal alternative WoW gold shit and ignored it

It was too hard at the time so I gave up. This was around when it first got talked about on Veeky Forums.

I didn't have a way to purchase it because i was underage, and was too stupid to learn how to mine it.

it seems most faggots here were playing WoW

this shit is so fucking stressful and life consuming

gtx560 here
still using it in my rig
was making $2 for every $3 of electricity
the price was $10 ;-;

are you me?

if you have more than 1 btc, i wish i was u

Being a hs faggot playing wow

I heard about it, but I didnt follow up on it, too complacent and distracted. such is life.

was mining in 2011. was not worth it for and also was not wagecucking back then.. didnt really understand how money works. fml

I knew of its existence but never really bothered to look it up, did not even know what it was at the time. Fast forward a few months ago, I over hear some people in a subway talking about graphics cards and bitcoin, so I thought it was a PC gaming thing which piqued my interest, so I did some research.

Now I wish I could go back and yell at my retard self.

I did, but I spent it to buy drugs

I was fucking girls like a stupid normie.

2 girls
at the same time

>What were you doing 2017? Why weren't you acquiring Shitcoins? Why are you not stacking altcoins?

note like:
>2020
>altcoins are all dead and gone except for monero and eth

if the market cap continues to grow even remotely like it has these past two years you'd be set, If you buy eth or monero now.

saw ROLL for BTC threads on /b/ in 2011, never thought someone would really deliver. And couldnt even think about how big BTC is going to be in 2017. Forgot about cryptos since last month , started trading and got fucked in alts by fork kek.

had a coinspot account loaded up and ready but no place would accept my damn AU credit card. forgot all about it till start of this year

but I was user, along with spamming threads on /b/

Honestly i'm online 24/24 and i only learned about bitcoin in 2013. I have no idea how that happened

Had been a neet for years. 2009 I got a job and met my wife. Was very busy and stopped using my computer. Hadn't even heard of Bitcoin. Definitely something I would have got into if only I knew about it. I used to trade sell in game currencies. Sad me

I was in highschool not giving a fuck about anything and shitposting on Veeky Forums.

I was though but sold low thousands would havr been set at 23

yeah, same. met the girl of my dreams in 2009 and started living with her. i kept myself off from my pc and the internet. I was a hardcore hardware guy and I even won a bounty for a paypal bug back in 2008. I know i would have made billions by now if i hadnt met that girl. we broke up 2 years ago.

I actually tried to buy in 2012 but you had to send your birth certificate, passport and bank statement to the exchange. It was too greasy so I bailed.

ahahaha oh fuck

I was 11

Being stupid and buying stupid shit DESPITE knwoingnabout it.

I shudda bought when it reached $100

I was 10-13.

>Fell for the uni meme
>still convinced in a deunk/drug induced stuper i bought some btc somewhere down the line
>regularly check my old hard drives and emai accounts just to make sure

why anyone talks about zcash ? its awesome as well

i wonder how many of us would have been millionaires by now if we didnt listen to a fucking woman

same here with this account but i knew for sure i had some because they were giving a free 0.5 btc for new registrations

i checked yesterday, turns out it was 0.005 btc

btc was around $200 at the time

I purchased 2000$ worth of silver instead of bitcoins.

Heaviest bags ever

This

Literally me in college, plus I bought gold at $1500.

JUST!

I was in my early teens at the time. In fact I remember early high school hearing about bitcoin and wanting to buy some, but back then the only way was thru Localbitcoins which sounded super shady. Thought I'd get robbed and kidnapped if I met up with someone in person with a fat stack of hundos in my pocket. If coinbase had existed back in the day and it would've been that easy, I would have many bitcoins now.

Faping to boipussys and smoking weed while lurking /b/.
I remember some guy did a thread saying he had 50000$ to spend, and someone said to invest in btc
>2011

selling drugs and in college being brainwashed

now im awake

I don't get how the fuck I missed BTC completely. I spent my entire time on the internet playing Runescape and World of warcraft, I don't know how i didn't notice anyone mention this.

Same here.

2011 was when I first heard about BTC. 2012 is when I tried to buy in.
Coinbase was a fucking mess still and I didn't trust giving them my information.
Plus it was impossible to buy BTC for years outside of that unless you used shady Russian or Japanese sites.

I tried to mine some bitcoins in 2009-2010 but my modem software kept crashing and I was too illiterate to fix this issue.
Also I was like 16 and didn't care enough to mine some hundred bitcoins with was literaly nothing cash wise. Maybe I even managed to mine a block, but it never showed up as I was too stupid to set things up at that time.
My second attempt was to buy me 3-4 Bitcoins for like 40§ to get some drugs off of silkroad. Unfortunally silkroad got busted bevor my account was verified, so I didn't bother because what else is Bitcoin useful for except for drugs?
Nearly had a heart attack as I pict up a newspaper 2 month later with a big story about how Bitcoin was now worth 1400+$
I wonder how rich I would have been now... probably would have just blew everything on drugs anyway.

Playing World of Warcraft and jerking off

Just get some Chancoin when it hits $1 mark.

jacking off and being a high school shitter on runescape

JUST

I had just graduated college with 50k in debt trying to make it in one of the worst job markets ever, so all I trying to do was survive

>graduated from high school in 2010
>heard about BTC shortly before Mt. Gox
>tried to mine with a shit GPU
>eventually gave up
>BTC was worth around $1000 at the time, so I never bought any because I couldn't even buy a whole coin

Ark is my last chance.

fucking disgusting, Ranjesh

I heard about Bitcoin when it was spread for free on /b/. Maybe a year later i saw that it was 200€, thought i was too late. Set up my coinbase account in 2015, checked the price i think it was again 200€. Didn't finish setting up the account because of verifications. Thought that nothing going on with it anyway. Didn't bother to check on it again until some months ago when it hit 2000€

Stopped playing Runescape before BTC was a thing. Heard about it in 2011. Was too young to "get it".

First heard about BTC via namecoin around nov 2011, looked it over, thought the tech looked good, very promising for decentralisation. Silently wished them luck and never thought about the profit potential.
Hear about it again 2013, watch the bubble full of pink wojacks, fomo in near the peak. It all worked out in the end though, but I could be so rich if I'd been a little more engaged that first time.

Heard about Bitcoin from a friend.

"Internet money bro"

Both of us didn't understand market cap.

Oops.

tossed 500 bucks into btc and alts back in 2013
somehow ended up with 200k now being lucky in the shitcoin roulette (2014 and 2017)

day dreaming of a noncucked life
i just need another 25x

I wasn't even aware Bitcoin and blockchain tech exists until late 2013. Which is strange because i'm online 24/7 and a CS student. But i immediately realized the revolutionary potential and accumulated in the bear market so i'm quite well off now.

Here I am, now, not knowing shit about it still. But I want to learn. I wonder if it's too late? I want to get into this with a couple of hundred of $, but I literally know nothing about investments, crypto and the like. So if any of you here would like to explain it to me like I'm 5 (Steve Carrell "Office" reference), I'll be glad to hear it.

money can't buy dreams, Pluuk

haha, stupid normie missed out on btc gains

I was in school and had no knowledge.

I finished school and saw people talk about it on /g/, had no money and wasn't doing any research in how to get it.

Got money and a fiance but still didn't do research.

Got into crypto 4 months ago, haven't lost anything, but I am sitting on my $1000AUD without any profit either.

I either buy in to something, hold for too long (OMG) and breakeven, or buy and sell too early making small amounts to only lose what profit I did get on some shitcoin.

At least I am not in the negative yet. So A+ for effort, I spose.

>14
>third world country (not mexican nor pajeet)
>didn't even speak english
>had never used the internet before
>let alone browse this shithole

So yeah a lot of things needed to happen....

I tried to do research in 2013 when the price was around $120 but didn't understand shit, didn't see the point. The thing that made me wake up was when I saw the price at $770 last year and that same day I found Andreas Antonopoulos on Youtube along with the full list of shitcoins at coinmarketcap. Such a beautiful moment, I felt just like when Neo said ''I know kung fu''.

REEEE fuck off I was a teenager and didn't realise how important it was, now I have a job in computing and an interest in crypto I have been accumulating

Gib picnic gurls

Didn't even Bitcoin. Still unclear on the concept.

>be me
>hey look here, you can buy a bag of weed for 5btc
>"nah man too risky"
>what is this btc shit, can't people use real money?

i don't even remember the price but it was like 1btc = 50$ at the time and i was a shithead stoner

as neet i was playing games all day long. 16/24.

i thought its waste of electricity and that could jump on that at any moment (was thinking that reward will be same)

>2010
>get 5BTC from a faucet
>a few days later the wallet gets flagged by my shitware antivirus
>quarantine and kill
And that's the story of how I deleted $30k.

you deleted

C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\BitCoin

?
cause wallet .dat is there

Heard about it for the first time when Assange was getting fucked over by PayPal not allowing people to give money to Wikileaks.

I don't know why I didn't invest then. And I don't know either why I suddenly decided to invest in it two months ago.

I was wage cucking and I though Bitcoin was a scam.

Lost my Job, Spent 10 Months in County.

After spending $30K In lawyers, and $3K in my bank account, I saw bitcoin crash to $1800. I took out all of my 401K and didn't buy Bitcoin.

I bought 100Th/s of mining power. I have a regular income of 0.02101 btc a day.

I'm literally making a living off the block chain, I was in the lowest point of my life. I didn't hesitate spending that much on one single thing that may or may not work. But I believed in it.

>how I deleted $30k.
if you will find your dat life in appdata and restore btc can i get very very small amount >:-) ?

I was living on the street.

what did you do?

Step up the crypto trading game, add me on Skype: CryptoAnna

That's a fun story on how you can tell your grandkids on how you deleted $50 million dollars

It hovered around $500 for years, i didn't expect it to ever do much more than that desu

tfw when too low IQ to understand bitcoin till this year

was at Fort Bragg during this time, where were you?

I was in middle/high school, and had no money or means to acquire it anyway.

Same senpai. Was balls deep in some tight poose. Totally worth it though am I right??

I have never seen a vagina or touched a woman.

...

I think I actually mined a little
lost the HD tho

>Got into bitcoin in 2013
>Lost money in mtgox crash.

Heard about it ona pickup artist forum in 2011. I was too into picking up chicks to buy some bitcoin.
