You would have lost it all in Mt Gox anyways.

OP this is nu-biz. all the old money has moved on from this shithole.

Literally 99% of people upset about not buying BTC before 2014 are idiots because they don't realise they almost certainly would have sold during the crash from 1k to 300. Imagine going from having 200k (200 BTC) to a mere 60k, you'd freak out. The only thing to really regret is:
A) Not buying BTC @ ~500 USD over the last 3 years B) Not buying ETH @ 10 USD literally one year ago today.
Eth is a far bigger regret, 100x in a single year, plus with the hindsight of BTC would have been a lot easier to hold.
Anthony Myers
or the FBI would have gotten it since I had to send it to a SR wallet in order to do business there.
Lucas James
tfw over a million dollars in bitcoin i bought and sent over silk road for DMT and xanax I was too retarded to ever buy it and hold it, I don't know why I never did. I feel like a retard.
Austin Carter
i unironically believe OMG is the next ETH
Jaxson Jones
Man I was just looking at coinmarketcap and saw ETH under a dollar and I was like yeah I'm pretty sure this will go to 1k.

>early days of crypto stories i remember shitposting on the SA forums around 2010-2011 about buttcoins and etc and i bought 420 from a guy who mined them by buying him a custom title, platinum, and archives, just to say "lol i have 420 buttcoins" and then i went to college and my dad wiped the hard drive and threw the computer away later and now they're gone. i want to die
Carter Cook
same but there will probably be another Mt. Gox size crash that I'll have to mentally prepare for
Nicholas Foster
Hahahahahaha
Nothing personal kid...but while you were out defiling your want and chasing vanity, I was mastering the blockchain. Now that the world is on fire and barbarians are at the gates, you want my help?
James Lopez
Kek if bitcoin ever hits one million dollars each you would have done almost 100 million dollars worth of drugs

I hope that guy enjoyed his Linden Dollars
Brayden Jackson
I 100% would have panic sold during a crash, or lost it in the Mt. Gox exit, or gotten JUST'd by the FBI Honeypot Brigade. shit, I bought Antshares at $8 and sold it at $10 after the first crash.
still shooting for $1MM in the next 2 years though. wish me luck fags.
Kevin Davis
do you remember all the BUTTCOIN threads in yospos?
can you imagine how sad they are right now? if they had spent the same amount of time as they did laughing at stupid ron paul purestrain libertarian fags working minimum wage jobs and buying BTC they would be mega-millionaires
Henry Phillips
Everything I remember about SA is narcissistic people ironically shitposting about being better than everyone else in some way
Joseph Long
will it ever get past 20k?
Jackson Hernandez
>do you remember all the BUTTCOIN threads in yospos? yeah there and there was some talk in lf and ycs.

Fuck, why couldn't I have been a computer geek in high school? I would have probably discovered BTC in 2010, just as I was graduating... And probably would have lost it all in a hard drive crash.
