Me? I bought a few coins on MtGox a few weeks ago for $165 and was the second highest bidder before a ~>30% crash. Woops  Feel free to post pictures worth 1,000 descriptions of 'bad luck'. |

I bought tons of shit worth 300 bitcoins about 2 weeks before BTC started rising from ~10$ to ~260$ . Well... I was pretty pissed.
I could have made over ~75k dollars =)

Once upon a time I sold 200 coins at $0.91
It didn't seem like $1 was possible again after the initial news faded about hitting dollar parity.

I stopped mining and forgot about bitcoin 2 years ago. Now that small amount of btc which at the time i thought was not worth the hassle to convert to my currency is worth 200+usd. It took ~4 days to mine that...

Bought high. Crash. Sell low. - Repeat x3. Lost only about $1k but that's a lot to me. I have terrible luck despite watching clark.moody before trading.

Happened to me. Bought BTC when it was $255, and then the crash happened. I didn't sell. I invested in cheaper bitcoins to bring my average down. Now my BTC average cost is around $155 to break even. Not going to sell at $155 though. Going to hold on. |

Not going to sell at $155 though. Going to hold on. I gave up playing the markets, could never make much, always lost a lot. I just took my bit coins and bought ASICMINER stock and BTC bond with them and now i get some dividends each week. Easier, less stressful and in my case more profitable |

Not getting in sooner! I had heard about bitcoin for some time but it fell off my radar until I heard it jumped literally over night. At that point I thought I was too late but stayed in tune, now I am attempting to buy up cheap coins, but Dwolla and MTGox are a pain in the ass. Cash Deposit at Walmart through bitinstant, I considered, but given some of the horror stories I have read, I stay away from that method of getting coins. Currently mining LTC with hopes that its price will rise, but buying BTC for now.

Not getting in sooner - I hear ya!
I was actually paying attention to bitcoin in 2011 before and during the first bubble. Stupidly thought "I don't have money to invest in this right now"...

Not getting interested in Bitcoin back when I first heard about it in 2009 or so. To think of all coins I could have mined back then! And I'm the kind of person who never throws anything digital away (I still have files copied from 5.25" floppies that were written in the late 80's) so I'd have been one of those guys who mined 10,000 BTC back in the day and still had a copy of that wallet.

Not on BTC, but on LTC I lost over 1500$ in big crash. 2 mistakes: havent sold when it started to fall. When it was 1.60 I thought it shall hit lower than 1$, so sold. It went up and I lost in that 2 transactions over 1500$... And I am not rich guy, was pissed off, but that is life. You can make 1 mistake, but 2 in a row get your pockets empty  . |

I originally got into BTC pretty early on so my worst mistake was probably overestimating the gov and underestimating the community, I had never thought we'd reach this stage.

Saw pictures of bitcoin mining rigs on reddit three years ago, thought well if I need 20 gpus there is no point me trying. If only I had started mining then.
