Wish I bought bitcoin when it was $12.
I bought BTC around that price. But I lost my wallet key. :(

#12Fucking bitcoin. I should have invested when I first learned about it, it was $4 per btc
Wanted to put in $7k, at $7, so 1,000 coins. But I didn't want to send a copy of my passport to some shady (Magic the Gathering) exchange in Japan. And it would take 3+ weeks before I could get my coins. What an idiot I was.

I could have bought 10000 btc for 50usd. I’m still crying myself to sleep some nights.

The reason I didn’t was because back then that was like half iirc of all btc and I was suspicious.

Having friends that did this you would be surprised how much of it was mined away. My friend bought some early and lost it all do to mining.

If it makes you feel any better, almost everyone I know who bought it early, sold it way too early as well. Some could've had millions if they kept it all until today, but they just made a decent amount.

Horrible thing to say, but at least I feel a bit better now! Too bad I didn't hear about Bitcoin in 2010. I hadn't heard about it until like 2012.

#17Joined an ultimate frisbee rec league, a year ago. And I'd never played a team sport before, unless you count middle school basketball.
It's turned out to be a great community. Plus it's great exercise, of course. And it encouraged me to improve my cardiovascular system, so I wouldn't poop out so quickly on the field. The community is the big thing though.

#18Stop eating processed sugar(s), white flower and meat.
Learn to let go of opinions I am attached to and become open to alternatives faster (it is actually a body trick).
Embrace myself fully with all my “defects”.
