The One Thing Bitcoin Has Taught Me ...

[areebmajeed]

Is to never trust anybody

[Tirapon]

....Is that when an anonymous hacker invents a revolutionary financial technology... pay attention.

Buy and HOLD.

... if you don't have the private key you don't have any Bitcoins (ask the users of Input.io, Bitcoinica, bitfloor, instawallet, etc, etc, etc).

I second that and hold your btc!

i should have planned better and earlier. it's all hindsight now, i know, but i should have had a plan.

looking back, i should have purchased 1000BTC.. because once it hits $1,000 USD/per, i'd be a millionaire. i'd sell off a small portion of my holdings at $1000 (say 15%), and hold until it's $10,000 and then sell off another 15%.

that kind of planning would lead to early retirement.. but alas, i did not have the foresight. i am a fool for not planning ahead.

No matter how clever you think you are there's always someone cleverer than you.

buy low, sell high

That the future is bright. Even brighter than I had imagined given I was more of a doom and gloomer before I discovered Bitcoin.

Do not give up on a new technology because you can't figure out how to work with it. Spent about an hour trying to get the mining software I downloaded to receive some work from the mining pool and ended up giving up on bitcoin till about 6 weeks ago. This was back when bitcoin-qt was version ~0.2

Bitcoin have taught me to trust and believe in decenteralised system. To believe in the idea itself and fight for it even when no one or very few people are.

I was in after the big crash from ~$30, Decided to first understand the idea, understand Bitcoin. Believe me if you do you will still rally for Bitcoin even if TODAY it fell from $700 to 50 Cents.

is never ever pre-order shit!

True DAT TRUEEE DAT

(especially never ever order next gen miners from a company who obsessively burns them in for a full year before shipping.)
