Ever missed the chance of getting bitcoin at cheaper price?

[CoinSiteDesigner]

Back in 2010, a guy asked me if I want to buy his 10K bitcoin for $20 AlertPay.
Guess what? I wasn't interested in his offer as I never heard about bitcoin before that and thought I have no use with it.

I came to know about bitcoin in December 2013 when the price was at $1000USD per BTC.

What I did with that $20? Lost to a scam HYIP.

If only I accepted his offer, I'd be a millionaire. That shit still makes me sad everytime I remember.

Luck did knocked my door, but I was dumb enough to ignore  

How about you guys? Ever had an experience like me?

UPDATE: Even if I have bought it from him, I'd sell it to someone even each BTC was $10 worth. I'm so impatient you know xD

I remember reading about bitcoin in the very beginning of the network... The diff must have been pretty low back then. I read a tutorial on how to mine, set everything up on my desktop pc, and even mined for a couple of days.
I can't even remember if i ever hit a block, but if i did, i did nothing with the coins (they were "worthless" back then).

[BTCLovingDude]

well, i have missed the biggest opportunity of all times which is buying bitcoin when it was below $10, and i think everybody else here feels the same way too.

but from the time i have started using bitcoin and from the time have decided to seriously invest in it i have never missed any low price, dip or any decline to buy bitcoin, i am always all over it.

I was dumb enough to buy 10 bitcoins back then and have them traded for paypal money as I was short of funds to pay my Internet Bills.If I could have saved them,I could pay my internet bills for quite few years .The future of bitcoin is unpredictable,its always wise to store around 10 bitcoins in your cold storage apart from the regular uses.

Yes, it really is a bad idea to underestimate anything.
I've learned my lesson and saving the altcoins which I've earning from faucets. Just hoping they'll rise as BTC too 

[bestluck]

I did not missed any chance, as from the time when I heard about bitcoin the price is increasing and I am considering each dayas a good time to buy bitcoin because tomorrow I know the price will be at a more higher peak.

[Sandroxa]

Yeah it happens to me a couple of times. When the price is just to stable for a long time I usually do not pay much attention at that period because I know that nothing will happen. But I was wrong and missed out on some chances.

[tobacco123]

Sigh... "if only I know" is really not going to help... Just forget about it and move on.

By the way, Ethereum's ether is $8.66 at the moment so maybe you can consider buying a few hundreds? Who knows?

[BlockEye]

This happens to almost all newbies I think just like me. I thought price will continue to plunge last year around August 2015, I keep on telling my self not yet until I realized I just missed the opportunity from $218 to $322 after 3 months. That should have been 100+ % profits.

[NeuroticFish]

I first heard about Bitcoin about a month before MtGox fell. So the price was already high.

However, I was just prepared to buy some (some more) this year when it was around 230$ and, since I didn't like the fees from the Pay Point machine, I looked for other option. Bad luck, until I found the better choice, the price started to rise. So I waited to fall back. It didn't..yet 


About ETH & Co: there are threads with maybe 100s of coins that are already worthless. ETH can rise to the sky or can become 0. You just don't know.
The trick is to sense the change, buy low, sell high and hold only if you REALLY believe it will rise a lot.

You'll say that's the same with BTC too and I agree; just with BTC the chance to become worthless is much smaller imho.

[susila_bai]

Lot of time i have tried to buy but due to lack of fiat currency i was not able to buy it, only in starting i bought at $230 and sold it at $450 but after that i did not gotchance to buy low.

[Ardenyham]

A similar situation happened to me also back in 2014. that time bitcoin price just 200$ and some one offer my and tried to convince me to buy bitcoin and safe them for future. but I din't believe him just like you.. but your lost is much bigger then me.

you missed a big chance. if I were in your place I may do the same thing which you have done. that time bitcoin wasn't that much trusted. a new born baby.
but now you are doing faucets of altcoin and hoping for the same chance. lets see. but I don't think so any altcoin will rise as btc.

Really a sad incident. Now you understood the real potential of bitcoin. Likewise several users right now hesitate to hold and use bitcoin, but in the later years people will realize and feel sad as you felt now.

[Jeremycoin]

It's okay, it's not that you who had experienced this kind of thing. I believe there's so many people did that too, so don't be sad about this because you're not alone.

I had the opportunity to buy Bitcoin when the price was below $200 but I hesitated thinking it would go down even more and in the end I missed a golden chance to double up my investment. Now I am hoping for another rally to $1200 like in 2013 

[BitBerau]

That was your golden goose eggs but it was not meant to be. I remember alertpay. It was a highly charged service so you would of paid an extra $2-2.50 to send that $20 for that 10 bitcoin.  Still it would of well worth it but who would of known how much they would cost now. Only if you were a time traveller or a physic.

That was many years, at the time I was into PTCs and HYIPs.
Now I don't even remember who that guy was. If I remember, I'd go and ask him what happend to the BTC he wanted to sell to me.

I assume he might have already sold to somebody.

[Amph]

yes many times but via mining with many shitcoin that were worth nothing to mine and then skyrocket for no reason to an unbelievable reason

but nothing can match the missed early train of bitcoin mining, where you could mine 10k bitcoin in few days...
