Bought only 10k coins @ 2$ (instead of a few 100k). Never thought this ponzi will get above 100$  Still a decent profit. Just need to find the private key. |

The block chain is the main innovation of Bitcoin. It is the

Hedging in microscopic amounts of a shitload of altcoins. Not worth it in the end I think.

Not logging in to Slush's pool after I stopped mining to retrieve what seemed like a small amount of bitcoins at the time. They sent me an email warning about dormant accounts being closed and to log in but I didn't.

Won 350-400 btc in Feb 2013 --- Didn't even hit my conscious at all that the price might rise in the future. Not for one nano second did I consider waiting it out to "see".
Liquidated all of it in less than a week through blockchains (discontinued) BTC for Moneypak # deal
Also sold my qrk a few hours too early and ultimately missed out on roughly 80k
it's whatever.

This is why you need to get yourself multiple ways of earning income so you don't panic sell anything and can afford to hold long term  I've done the same myself, I mined Megacoin for awhile and I would have gotten 1.3BTC out of it or so if I'd have just been patient and sat on it for three or so months. |

The worst decision for many will be holding when it is time to diversify. Then they will get anxious with their 100% bitcoin holdings when the price goes sour, and sell more than they should, at the exact panic bottom, netting less and shedding terribly many if not all of their bitcoins. It is also emotionally hard to buy back at much higher.
I would not recommend holding more than 60-80% of your wealth in bitcoins. It may look tempting to have more but it is not really worth the risk and as a result you end up having both less fiat and less bitcoins due to the mechanism described above.

rpietila, I thought you were "all in"? Or is this a case of do what I say, not what I do?
Also, out of curiosity, what do you think of Litecoin?

But some people do not have much "wealth" to begin with. Let's say, for example, a college kid with no real savings took $500 and invested when the price was $10 so the kid has 50 coins. Now 100% of his "wealth" is in his BTC! Sure he could sell them now for about $50,000 and buy a really nice car, pay a small portion of his college and spend a few nice nights out with friends. Or, he could "diversify" some of it out but most investments right now are not as good as Bitcoin. Or perhaps the wisest choice would be to just hold those coins for just a little longer. If this year is as good as last year he could turn those coins now valued at $50,000 into $500,000. That could pay all his college, give him a nice down payment on a house and really change his life forever. Of course, then the wise thing to do would be just to have a plan to cash out coins perhaps and keep some like you have advised in the "safe and sane" plan you have somewhere. TL:DR- The time to diversify is different based on how many coins a person purchased and what their level of "wealth" or place in life currently is. |

When i first heard of bitcoins, I tried to solomine them with my bad videocard.
I shouldve mined 24/7 in a pool and invest atleast something in them, i couldve bought some back then i think they where at like 10 dollar.
Im hoping that was my last bad decision, bitcoins and altcoins got my full attention now!
