Not buying a year ago when I first learned about Bitcoin.
Buying mining contracts in advance vs. immediate hashing

Mine was failing to buy in when my buddy was repeatedly telling me to.   He had received 500 or so BTC as a wedding present from his brother in law (Roger Ver), back when they were under $1, I believe.  If I hadn't heard about bitcoin, then I wouldn't care, but since I had the opportunity, plus I was actively looking for things to invest in, I totally blew it..

Trusting someone to sell me a tablet back in the early days.  Every bad decision is a lesson learned though, no regrets.

Accidentally selling 350 coins at 100 instead of 100 coins at 350.

me too if instead buy a miner I could easily buy BTC and I would be in better shape from financial point of view, but at the time I was thinking in help the network by adding hashing power to it. Well at least I have some virgin coins and said that, I shall not sell cheap ...

Same!

My good friend told me to get into bitcoin in late October 2013.  I thought it sounded pretty good and I decided I'd do it. . . when I got around to it. 
LATE OCTOBER 2013

*weeps*

I didn't 'get around to it until mid december.

I cashed out 10 BTC in September so that I could make a down payment on a car I wanted. Doh!

If I only waited two months like I originally wanted. Meh, love...

Dropped $20 to "play" with Bitcoin when they were a few cents.  Saw what I wanted to see, got bored and frustrated that I'd lost like $3.  Sold for my $3 loss and forgot about it.  If I'd have kept that, $500k easy...

Trust hashrack. Luckily this is not so important as That time, April 2013, I only test the schematics before further decision.

Don't fully trust. I personally have a serious plan, it should last for at most a year. I think the decision can help you on early stage, not for later stage.
