Regret and depression

[LifeOfRegret]

If anyone should have become an overnight millionaire it should have been me. I've been involved in virtual economies for many years now (mmorpg gold exchanges) and if anyone should have had the foresight to become an early adopter of bitcoin it should have been me but instead I was wasting my time fucking around with virtual gold. I wake up every morning feeling depressed.

Sure bro.

Want a cookie ?

I feel your pain OP. Same boat. I was aware of Bitcoin way before the price explosion and missed the boat. Now I barely have more than 1.
It was our lifetime posibility to become overnight millonaires and we were so close.
We can still hope that in 10 years 1 BTC will be worth something ridiculously high. If not, we can always jump off a bridge.

[ScreamnShout]

Everything happens for a reason.

[erre]

I didn't buyed bitcoins when it was $30, but I did during the hype from 400 till 1000 and more.

You could had done worst

[cozk]

Don't spend your time regretting and spend it finding the next best thing, a lot of people don't think the early investor ship has sailed for Bitcoin yet!

Food for thought.

[LifeOfRegret]

Finding the next big thing is already near impossible in life and now that bitcoin already exists, the probability of becoming an overnight millionaire by being an early adopter of another coin is near zero. I know people will say keep trying but I know in my heart bitcoin was my one and only way of becoming a millionaire in life and it was right under my nose.

I listen to this everyday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FjbEj6rmNg. It encapsulates my very real possibility of becoming very wealthy and my regret extremely well.

Yeah, there is nothing like hindsight to bring on deep depression.

With this sense of entitlement, I'm glad you didn't get shit from BTC. Typical get rich for nothing crowd.

OP, there's still hope if you put things in perspective:

We are still early adopters, not barons of bitcoin tier of early adopters, but early.

In 10 years, we may make it big if we have a couple bitcoins lying around. It all comes down to Bitcoin being a global success or not. It sucks having to wait tho, but at least you have some positive hope in the future, instead of working towards a guaranteed mediocre life.

Exactly. Anyone who thinks like that, isn't a millionaire for a reason.

Its easy to should of could of would of in hindsight. The skill is seeing the future potential now. The other poster is right no one has a right to be a millionaire but I'm going to help you have another bite of the cookie.

I worry that stupidity is not a one time thing though and that means you wont see this coins potential either. Personally I bet the farm on it.

Well look, the market has come down from $1200 its a second chance for many who missed that bubble.  Get to work and build a stash.

Right now there is another way, and 4 years from now you'll wish you had been doing that instead of moaning on a message board.

If Bitcoin continues to grow, it could be comparable to Visa.  But then there's still room for Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.  If you want a million dollars for a $100 investment, look at which altcoins have that potential.  Me, I'm working both angles - if I buy 1BTC and it gets to be worth $10,000, I still won't be able to retire early.  But if I buy a bunch of altcoins and let them grow into 20BTC, and then those 20BTC are worth $10,000 each, then it's a good start.  

Besides, have you even thought about what you would do with a million dollars?  I mean, would it really make you happy?  Or would you be online 4 years later, saying "I wasted my time chasing bitcoin and a million dollars, and I missed the chance to get married and be happy."

We share the pain here mate , I was also selling MMORPG's gold like Aion & Rappelz and heard of Bitcoin only recently but I don't feel bad , I know I could've been rich guy by now , but it is how it is . don't cry about it . the train didn't leave yet Do your best to get some Bitcoin , signature compaigns , sell MMORPG Gold for BTC if you still doing it , hold hold ! wait few years and hope that the price will rise like hell . I'am pretty sure that early adopters didn't predict that the price will rise to this .

[saddampbuh]

i'm in much the same boat, sold mmo gold and knew about btc from way back when but didn't take it up, moneys nothing worth getting depressed over

[btbrae]

Bought at $2 sold at $50. Was sailing the waves for a while.

Wow, such entitlement. 

[Ektra]

Unless you bought in for cents it would have hardly been overnight anyway. Take a look at the chart, months and years of volatile uncertainty. You'd probably have sold early like lots of people.
