Hello fellow plebs. What's your BTC noob story? Let me share mine first to kickstart it:

In 2013 I was in (local equivalent of middle/high) school and mined just out of curiosity ca 1.5btc on my (even then) prehistoric computer.

I deleted the wallet and everything else to have space on disk for Minecraft and League of Legends just a couple months after that.

Then I completely forgot about Bitcoin until 2017 when I was loudly arguing, that the price is just a bubble and I won't buy anything out of FOMO.

I felt incredibly vindicated and forgot about btc once again only to eventually learn more and finally give in in 2020.

Then due to financial troubles I had to sell most of it in 2022 close to the bottom below $20K.

Feel free to share your own royal fuckups to make me and others feel better.

Let me think... It was 2010 or 11. I remember sitting by my Ubuntu and ICQ, mining just via some weird software and thinking about buying SOME Bitcoins, it was investment around 300-600 CZK. But then I gave up, because money was scarce and this looked too weird, pizza buying and such. It's so long ago I don't remember if I invested in the end, maybe I really got some code and wrote it down, but anyway that PC, adress and everything is long dead. Some bitcoins, not one. I try to think positively, because this shit HURTS.
