My worst decision was to buy on the top in January 2014.
Actually this might not be a bad decision in the long run, if you don't sell them off in the meantime. Just try to be patient and hold them. In January we were @ 700-900$ if I remember correctly, if you buy some now you can have an average cost of around 620$ per coin which is very good compared to the upside potential Well yes, I'm waiting for the price to go beyond $800 as well. I'm not even gonna sell to pay the bills at this rate, I can hold on longer. |

Buying ASIC.
ASICs were good. Back when Avalon shipped the first 60Ghash units... Even then BFL was stalling  |

Even though the numbers are bigger the percentage drop wasn't that much. When I got in Bitcoin was about $17 and 6 months later (Jan 2012) it was $2, so $900->$600 isn't too bad. It will recover. in April 2013 it went down more as well, I think there is a lot of support @ various level of price, a lot of new buyers and new money, a lot of positive news and we are sadly close to a financial meltdown in the US and Europe |

Don't trust in Bitcoin when it was about 5 - 10 bucks each and invest in BBQ coins right before those dropped almost to nothing  But we learn by mistakes, only low-IQ people make a mistake twice, now i'm prepared for anything  Ouch on this one...what made you think that BBQ had a lot of upside potential? I never really researched at all about this coin... |

HAHA, altcoins are funny but let's face it most people who bought some lost bitcoins I wish someone calculated your expected ROI in Bitcoin if you bought the 10biggest altcoins every Month for the last year or the 10 coins that are increasing the most in popularity |

Selling 90% of my holdings at $30 after buying in at $2. I have always supported Bitcoin, but I really needed the USD cash at the time. I would have been completely broke otherwise. Now I wish I had begged on the street or worked at McD's or slept on a friend's couch... anything but selling. Oh well, there will be other opportunities.

Damn well you did sell at a Peak but that would be a sucky decision since holding a few more years would have netted a giant amount of income Lets see I guess besides holding onto AM from the near high range it would be moving some of my funds to Basic Mining shares on Btct assuming that dividends would be recieved after it closed then having the issuer just poof away. |

People felt very smart and were very happy to sell @ 1$ 10$ 30$ 100$ 300$ and people feel very smart to have sold @ 1000$ but they would have fair better holding their bitcoins except if they bought back way lower after Selling 90% of my holdings at $30 after buying in at $2.

If it doesn't go way higher you just missed a bubble and if it will succeed you are early |

If it doesn't go way higher you just missed a bubble and if it will succeed you are early In other words, we are all still early adopters. Bitcoin and all other coins have been in a downtrend for months IMO. |

No, they are not scams. Some of them are way better than BTC feature wise. |

Slow, 10% up trend is still up trend, and is much healthyer than what happened in december last year. |

Other coins are just as real as bitcoin. Being first doesn't have any special magical power to make something more or less real. Alt coins also offer many benefits bitcoin does not. And they can be a testing ground for new things. Calling alt coins scams is completely misguided. |
