First is standard, and I agree with the first half of the second point, but I've made 8 times my money in less than three months. People could still get rich in the same amount of time now, but then I'd refer back to your first point.

I know many people who spent everything at over $200, and after "crash" they dumped it at half price.

This advice would save me some BTC in 85% cases, but those 15% largely make up for that in my case. Not big losses though.

Bought at X

I so fucking wish I did

I so fucking wish I had a house, or anything to throw in something

I so fucking wish I'd threw $$ in Google stocks, as I was 100% sure they would skyrocket, but i had no $$ at that time.

Just keep in mind the last rule. I'll help you to avoid many bear traps that will happen soon.

I wasn't watching the markets in April. BTC was only a blip in my radar then.
