I am haunted by the stack I could have had if I wasn't such an idiot in the past 😔😭
Discussion
Said all of us
I think the majority of us feel this way.. myself included. Although on the plus side, we have a stack and that has to count for something even if it isn’t to the degree we could have had… but like they say “we all get Bitcoin at the price we deserve” and does that ever sting! 😩
Your past idiot taught you how to to stack now 🫂
I like this viewpoint. Reminds me of a Will Roger's quote, "Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment."
I cringe when I remember I first came across BTC in 2016. On the bright side our past failures can be a great teacher!!
Echo echo many of us idiots…
this be our shared trauma
Hugs. 🫂 But the main point is the math 🧮 makes it work … you know? #Thanks #Satoshi
Dude, first time I passed up bitcoin was because xprvs and only hot wallets meant it was never going to amount to anything.
Bought my first crypto, xlm, in 2021 at bull peak.
Cost of learning. I've earned back my tuition fees so I'm happy.
That said, I'd be posting from my private island if younger me believed devs were capable of improving software. I'm still not really convinced, this one time was a fluke.
I used to mine in the early days, sold a few for a few hundred. Yeah… but think about it this way… we started the ball rolling before it was cool. No pioneers, nothing today.
Many have been there. Guy in our office was mining in 2010 - I asked what he was doing. He explained. I ignored. Live and learn.
yet not haunted by becoming a Richard Heart...
I'd call it a roaring success!
I bought a small bit of weed and some E's off Silk Road in 2012 for what would now be roughly 250k of BTC☹️😂.
So say we all 👀
A story as old as time! It's important to be forward thinking and not dwell in the past.
I wanted to punch myself in the face the day I learned that Laszlo Haynecz mined over 100,000 BTC on a Mac iBook in 2010. I also had a Mac in 2010, and I was designing t-shirts on it that I never even sold.
I basically sold half my stack between 3-4 years back to invest in myself, my career, and my living conditions.
Today I have more sats than the most I had back then.
Thank God for not being an idiot 🫂
Investing in oneself beats bitcoin cagr
Me too.
my college roommate holds now almost 500 Bitcoin, and has never sold! Mostly early coins. He has sold maybe 3 Bitcoin total. His wife thinks they own a whole coin. 🤣🤣🤣
he told me, I didn't listen, he told me again, I didn't listen. 3rd time was a charm.
We all have to forgive ourselves, for not knowing what we now know. The important part is that we are now here.
We all are. Everyone will be. No coiners will be the most haunted.
I had to sell my early stack to keep my truck from being repossessed when out of work in 2016. Had to start over, then was reading and lost most of it. Had to start over and here we are. I zap and will occasionally pay in BTC to people I really believe in supporting so I can try to recover a small fraction of what I once had. So 🍻 here's to our now and future.
Trading was trading and lost most of it
Feel you, bro
On the bright side you have a larger stack than if you were any more idiotic.
Remember, your stack could always be smaller 😉
Just watch nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk ‘s nostrica talk and keep grinding. I wish I had the link…. Can anyone help? Such a great one.
Hindsight.
Don't do that to yourself.
Congratulate yourself for what you ACTUALLY did.
Be thankful for what you have now ;)
🫂
Past is gone, the future will never come. Each block at a time, each sat at a time.
is this your boating accident myth like luke´s ?
As long as you learned from it, it makes us better.
