We all made mistakes in bitcoin, either trading, investing, coding.
Other than not buying bitcoin at 0.01$ per coin when it started, what is your biggest mistake you did ?

Disregarding Bitcoin when I first heard about it. To my defense, it's wasn't nicely presented to me, unfortunately  |

The only losses I've ever made are due to exchanges going kaput because someone hacked them/stole their money. I was lucky I didn't have any coins on Mtgox, but I did have coins on Mintpal and Cryptsy.
Sadly exchange rate risk is the biggest risk in bitcoin space.

The worst mistake wasn't with bitcoin directly itself.
But with a person that I sent to first.
They did not deliver what they promised they would send to me for sending them bitcoins which can not be reversed.

I was so ashamed of myself I even sold my 4 stars bitcointalk account... Slowly getting back in with what I've learnt in the past years.
I was scamed by cloudminr.io as well, but at least I got my ROI + 50% ( around 1,500 USD invested initially ) and it was because I sold my account to someone else that got burnt afterwhile, like many others that were late investors.
So now I'm holding btc, nxt and Ardr, for longterm, mainly Ardr.

for me my biggest mistake was when i sent bitcoins as a payment for something i purchased from a friend and cost 0.005.. i accidentally alter or changed one letter of his btc address.. the last letter. so there, i lost my 0.005 and have to pay the same amount to my friend.. lesson learned, BE CAREFUL!
regards.

1: investing in the DAO and than get screwed.
2: Keeping my bitcoins at BitFinex and losing them all after the hoax.
3: Buying bitcoin back again at the top of 2016 = approx. 750 dollar a piece.
4: After buying btc I found out my pc was infected by a bitcoinstealer.exe and my bitcoins are stolen again.
5: I threw my pc out of the window and bought a new pc, the end..

My biggest mistake was ... not buying bitcoin when I have seen for the first time a news on a local magazine about the currency  (around 2011) what a big mistake really hard to accept ... but life must go on also without this good investment in a proper time |

I and my cousin sold a coin that was worth nothing (we had a lot of it, like 1.5-2 btc each), 1 day later it got pumped 1000% and held steady for a good while ) (could it have been leafcoin?) Or when I mined about 80k blackcoin at launch, sold them at $0.05, bought back 10k at $0.15 then sold them at $0.5. All this was back in early 2014 EDIT: Oh yeah, I mined BTC 2009 or 2010, had a bunch of them (around 100). My other cousin told me it was illegal and that I'd get in big trouble cuz of those BTC. I bought games for them. I still have 10 BTC laying around on a HDD which is ruined. |

Website link ? Better not post it in here, mayby U will get seen as a virus spreader and will get banned. Do not post any link that contains a virus, do not even click on links which u do not trust. Malicous sites are able to put stuff on your computer without u even knowing, believe me I experienced that by just clicking a link from here... |
