Mining 1,1 BTC with Radeon 6950 (took about 8-12 hours) then sold for about 5$.
2Q 2011 :p
The difficulty at that time was lower  , it was cheap at that time. I consider a mistake that i haven't invested in hardware mining few years before. I don't remember the exact details, also price was fluctuating a lot that days.In the middle of 2011 the first serious bitcoin bubble poped and I sold some BTCs @40$ in panic  |

But panic forces you to sell at lower price  . Hope this will never happen again. |

My worse mistake was i buy a cloud mining contract. Never invest high amounts of BTC in things like cloud mining and ponzi schemes.

Which cloud mining did you invested in? I invested in btc-flow and only got half of my investment. |

I have done many bitcoin mistakes such investing into alt coins scams, but my worst mistake was when I once sent around 1 btc to the wrong address. Always double check the address before sending any bitcoin.

Another worst mistake I did with my beloved bitcoin is the Scrypt.cc saga way back on my first journey in bitcoin last March this year. Why it's a mistake? You already know but good thing I get back my ROI. I only invested a small amount there but that amount was big enough for me that time since I don't have an idea in signature campaign and only rely on faucets way back then.

Not be an early adopter. I heard about bitcoins around 2010. Too bad, I was 14, didn't understand anything.

My 3 biggest mistakes were all in the year 2011. I went through the hassles to buy bitcoin back then. And i played it agressively invested a pretty large sum for me. Mistake here? 3 Things:
1. I thought that bitcoin is a pump and dump sheme. So i got mentally totally prepared to sell it. I didn't really trust Mtgox but thought they had a professional trading plattform. So when btc started falling from 30$ i pressed the sell button, but my order was not going through so i was hammering my keyboard, beeing total in awe for about 10min (worst 10min of my life) when the order finally got through i was totally goxed. To believe that Mtgox had a professional trading engine was a big mistake.. Today when i think about it i can only laugh that i thought --something-- could have been professional about Mtgox... After that i really added this on my mental list of trading risks: when trading underground plattforms, do not expect that you are able to sell any minute you want to.
2. In the then falling market i did something you should never do: I tried daytrade and make some of my losses back, result: more losses.
3. After bitcoin then in 2011 fell, i thought "well that's the end of this pump and dump". I was clever enough to make myself an Outlook reminder for 6 Months later to check prices again - but it didn't help. I looked at the chart mumbled something about "well it stabilized, but i don't know" and forgot about it. If i had have been checking this 3 months later or so, i would have made the investment of my life so far.

What's the worst mistake you did with your Bitcoin? It can vary from starting to use Bitcoin to buying dumped Altcoin to gambling.
The worst mistake I made with Bitcoin is... Buying cloud mining hashrate. I bought 0.02 GH/s CEX.IO hash rate voucher at SEOClerk for $2 USD - or maybe $1 USD. I thought with 0.02 GH/s, I would be making a profit in half a year.. And I was wrong.
Well, I bought using the free five dollars coupon. So that does not count as making a mistake with Bitcoin. However, the slow profit lead me to buying hashing power from CEX.IO and later on.. ZeusHash using the Bitcoin I earned from signature campaign.. Again, I thought I would be making profit in a few months. Till today, I'm sure I have not make any profit from both the company yet. CEX.IO stopped their cloud mining operation and.. ZeusHash.. What do you think.?
i have said it before and i will say it again. most cloud mining companies are not to be trusted. you cant even really tell if they are mining or not. |
