Ouch, it really hurts when you realize you sold Bitcoins that would be worth more 70 000USD now for 20 USD a year ago. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) Anyone else here who know how it feels? Or anyone here happy to have done so?

I bought a 200 USD paysafecard from bitcoin2cc for 662.5 Bitcoins, currently the worst trade I've made with BTC.

Yaeah, also paysafecard here. Just a 20USD one for a few thousand BCs. What did I learn from that? Never trust in what you learned in school. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I'm extremely mad that the guy I was dealing with about two months ago has been so slow in getting me my computer which was going to be a dedicated mining rig. I'm out a huge amount just for that.

I've spent something like 600 BTC, probably more, on various things since early this year. Most of them before USD parity. No regrets, I knew the exchange rate might go up. Now, as then, if I want to buy things with BTC, I'll buy the relevant amount at spot price and leave my hoard alone.

Or anyone here happy to have done so? I mined around 14,000 coins a year ago when difficulty was 3. Yes, 3. I was ecstatic that I had made $70 for doing nothing, but I kind of forgot about bitcoins until a month ago, when I noticed it hit parity, a 20000% ROI. Although I sold a few off around $5.00/BTC a few weeks ago, I've still held on to the vast majority for when it'll (hopefully) serve as my retirement fund ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

I bought a little tiny piece of gold for what would now be over $10k USD. I think I drank some $1k coffee too. It was pretty good though.

I'm one of those guys that downloaded the client I think about 6 months ago, clicked "generate coins" and got frustrated when nothing happened. I uninstalled it cause it was dragging down my cpu. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

I just hope people realize that if say 30k BTC hit the market right now the price would crash to probably under parity.

Sold 1,000 bitcoins for about $45, after a sudden increase of 10x from about 0.004. I felt sure that it was going to crash after an increase of 10x in such a short period, so I sold. The next day, I think, was the first slashdotting. Oops. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

The guy who gave away 10.000 to the faucet may have made his remaining coins worth comparably more, due to the increase in useage of the coins.

That. Had people just hoarded BTC when they were still a game currency, it wouldn't have gone anywhere. Yes, I think the prices were just too low, but there was a very good change BTC would just die again until the real activity boom happened. So I don't think trading in BTC instead of totally hoarding them was stupid. People were just doing something else than speculating.
