Had ~150 BTC sitting in bitcoinica.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

I'd say not buying more of it when it was in it's infancy.

i knew about bitcoins since late 2011, and only until early this year did i get involved. big, wasted opportunity. i guess that's the price you have to pay by being lazy. it's also probably my fault for not having the foresight to see the potential in BTC.

My biggest mistake has to be finding out about bitcoin way too late  Sad.

Yeah, I should have wrote "bitcoin client". I did not remember the name :-)

In 2011, I gained interest in Bitcoin again, and I stored my coins in MyBitcoin. It was a big mistake.

Laugh it off when I read about it in 2010, thinking leaving my pc on to make $0.02 cents an hour doesn't seem worth it (1 bitcoin an hour). If I had actually read the whitepaper and investigated a bit more rather than compare it to one of those stupid ways to make money online, I may have made some bitcoins to keep. Boo!

Getting involved in the biggest group buy scam of all times, back in the day I ordered 1 USB Block Erupter at .89 BTC in a group buy ran by vdragon. I think he ran away with more than 1000 BTC.

Those .89 BTC where all my bitcoins I had, and also the first ever coins I earned, I really had to let a tear when I found I was scammed...

Next week those goddamn pieces of shit could be bought for .25 BTC.

Apart from not buying enough when they were cheap, nothing. Was going to say I paid woman to do stuff on cam but honestly, I've no regrets about that.

I downloaded the Bitcoin client a couple years ago, but saw no use for it at the time.  Undecided
