Looked into mining when BTC came out, thought it wasn't worth it.
Looked into mining a year ago, though it might not be worth it.

Didn't buy BTC last year when it was ~$10/BTC -  I could have bought about 200 BTC
Then didn't buy as may ASICMINER shares as possible - could have bought 1600 shares for 200BTC
So I don't get about 12BTC a week dividend ($1400 a week...) and an I don't have shares currently worth about 1920BTC - or about $230K.

FML.

Build my own computer (not just for mining)
but I bought terrible graphic cards for mining (His 7970 H797QM3G2M, 2 for 950$ in total, hashrate is merely 560 kh/s, scrypt)

Someone sent me some coins way back in the beginning days but I didn't understand it.  I kept trying to tie it to something physical like gold hidden in the ground buried somewhere.

So I lost track of the wallet with the coins that are now probably worth at least 15 times what they were back then!  And this is today's value, so imagine how much they might have been worth a day or two before the crash...

Sold a bunch around xmas when they were 13 dollars a piece, then more when they hit 20.. *facepalm*

I remember seeing something about BitCoin about 4 years ago. I thought it would not really take off....

Guess I was wrong.

[speedyjonzalas]

My worst so far is buying 6 Bitcoins at $150 for them to lose about 33%

Cant say i am too bothered though as i know exactly how much i am willng to invest in this game so any losses are expected

[lishbtc]

As many have mentioned, waiting too long.  I was going to put $10K in LTC at about $0.40 but wimped out. 

Hindsight is great but I've learned if you don't take a little risk (only that which you can afford) there is no return

Had 13 BTC on Bitfloor before the hack.... not a ton I know...but transferred 10 in the day before. the good news is I got like .4 back.... before Roman shut it down again.

[SageDB]

I bought a few BTC at $10 a couple years ago and sold them at $30.
Why didn't I buy more and/or hold? Haunts me every day.

[drakahn]

I had ~400 coins between Pirate@40 and Hashking T-T

~6000 here -.-

To have a time machine to go back and kick myself in the balls, I had faith in bitcoin back then I should never have handed them over to anyone (There is a lesson here newbies, If your coins aren't in your wallet, they are not your coins)

I will probably never have near that many again.

-Blinded by greed.
*back to quietly licking my wounds*

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...

Similar. I became fascinated with bitcoins in late 2010 or early 2011, but didn't think it'd be worth the power cost to run the miner. Even with my circa-2010 imac, surely I'd have hit it lucky at least once in over 2 years. If I'd known about mining pools back then, I'd probably have joined one and let it slowly trickle in.

And 500~ here too. 
I was naive.

I remember hearing about bitcoins years ago too, what makes the pain even greater is that I could have mined so much with my 6990.

Thinking fontas is a nice guy...

[jlspartz]

I mined for a week back when it was 2 dollars and thought the outcome was quite insignificant and deleted my wallet lol. I think it was only 2.5 btc or so. But the time lost not mining is the biggest thing.

I read a story that will make everyone feel better. A guy back when they didn't amount to anything bought two pizzas for 5,000 bitcoins each. He had to convince the guy to take it too. Yes, you did the math right (I assume). Sold at the spiking time last month it would have been over 2 million.

selling...ever

I have been on Cyprus recently during the Euro-Crash and I haven't done my homework on time to prepare that days. I have underestimated one real huge value regarding BC in comparison to real money: it's anonymous for both: sellers and buyers.

[lukemarshall]

Bought @ $10 and used them to buy stuff with. (Consumables) Even saw the One ounce silver rounds with 10BTC for around $160-$170 and thought, there is no way Im paying $50+ per ounce for silver (spot @ the time was $33 per oz)

Then watched the BTC go up and up, and silver down and down.

Currently Silver -<$25  BTC <$100  ish

Why so bullish on silver looking back.....
