so disgusting, and I thought my situation was sick.. I sold 65btc a couple months back for 8k.. could have got 65k.. sigh
You shouldn't think about it too much. At least you got 8K in hard cash. Think about those unfortunate people who haven't heard about BTCs yet.
In the Hindu mythology, there is a story ( told to me by one of my friends - an early BTC adopter).
A few centuries ago, there was a King who ruled a small region somewhere in Central India. Warfare was frequent with his neighbors. During one of his war campaigns, the King and his entourage had to cross through a dense forest. It became dark, and the King ordered his companions to station themselves in a nearby cave for a few hours rest. Since it was not known previously that they won't get back to their homes before the dusk, no source of lighting was carried along.
In some regions inside the cave, the people could sense small sharp stones. They asked the King (to whom the terrain was familiar) what those were. The king refused to answer. Instead he just said "You will be disappointed later if you pick some of these stones and keep them with you. Similarly, you'll also be disappointed if you don't pick any of those stones."
They stayed in the cave for a few hours, before deciding to proceed towards the Kingdom. They reached their destination before the sunrise. There, they had the surprise of their lives. The stones which they had picked up were diamonds. Those who picked up those gems were disappointed that they didn't picked more of 'em. Others were cursing themselves for not picking any.
So... who should be more disappointed.... Someone who got 8K from his BTC trading or someone who doesn't even have $0.01 from it?
