Not selling at £600+ I reckon now ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) That is only a bad decision until the price is double that in a few months.

The worst bitcoin decision I made was to sleep in the day bitcoin was first announced to the world and to fail to get my ass out of bed and do a random search for new world currencies. I'm kicking myself everyday for being that drunken asshole that could not see the future.

The worst? Deleting my 2010 wallet, because I concluded that relative to all the stress I was putting my CPUs, that mining bitcoin blocks (worth 50 btc back then) was too easy to give bitcoin any significant value. Wallet deleted. Binaries deleted. Let my servers rest. At that time, bitcoin seemed too esoteric and inexpensive to bother with, like an obscure geek experiment that would forever remain that way.
But I kept thinking about it, researching it, and eventually had another go at it.
....a common tale it seem.

Just like for everyone else thats the tricky part. You can't predict what's gonna happen. In my opinion you still made a good deal, although not optimal at all.

If i kept every bitcoin that I had , when I had the most, I would have >1mUSD at todays prices. Sucks but yeah, I made a concious decision to hedge my risks back then.

So it is no that sad actually. Like the guy that had 10000 BTC on a harddrive that he mined 5 years ago on a laptop and then the harddrive ended up on the wasteplant. Not much investment right there, but sure it sucks to lose out on so much money ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I've also had the policy to not invest any of my own money into bitcoins. I can't afford unsafe investments, even tho I'm fully aware I might regret it in 5 years.

This hugely depends on your personal finances. If you have disposable income, why not throw 5% of that into a high risk/high reward investment. The upside is huge and the downside is limited to -100%. If you are also young , then this sounds like a snapcall to me. (It was for me). But be sure to not be emotional about it, and make decisions on fundametials , not panic and price.!!!

Summer 2012. Diablo 3. I bought in game gold with bitcoin @ $3/btc - Spent 90 coins for 500 million in game gold.
IGG = 35 cents / million now.
I lose.
/wrist
In hindsight that does look like a really bad move. Don't hurt yourself.

Not the worst by any means, but i think it was a bad decision for anyone who didn't add more to their holdings on this last dip down near $335. Understandably a lot of people have already invested all that they can afford into BTC or other alt-coins, but there really hasn't been any major substantiated news to cause the market to fall to those prices. It was obvious that purchasing at those levels would be profitable.

Someday myths will be told about you. The tragic comedy of very early bitcoiners. Share more details and someday your story will end being quoted to posterity. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) / ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif)
