I shared an office with a bunch of crypto enthusiasts in 2010 when I was running my first startup. They kept going on about Bitcoin and how I should get some because money would be obsolete in a few years. I thought they were silly (and I still do) but I could have a very different lifestyle now if I'd had some foresight.

It's not really a regret though. Just a missed opportunity. I'm a little more open-minded about tech now.

But... Would you have held?

Edit: those guys that told you about it, are they wealthy now?

filoeleven•3mo ago
Yeah, I clearly remember the day when bitcoin hit 37 cents. I thought, “this is interesting enough to make a $50 bet on.” I started looking into how to make a wallet and actually acquire s the BTC, and decided it wasn’t worth the time effort. That would have been about 3 hours, including a round trip to the closest bitcoin ATM.

The first big regret I thought of is kind of related: I wish I’d learned more about investing. I have a retirement account but that’s it, and when I had more disposable income I had no idea how to go about getting started.

chistev•3mo ago
What would you do different now in terms of investment. Tell us who wish to learn.
andirk•3mo ago
The lesson is to gamble on things that are either a) fun like btc, or b) you personally see it as a viable product in the future.

Not telling her I wanted her when she was receptive.

Ahhh the one that got away. You often reminisce of what it could have been like.
