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.

I ran the network for several so called "data centers"  from 2008 - 2012 for a company that had 60% zombie servers! somewhere around 300 racks all over the building. No one knew which server did what!!? (for the most part) Most of the shit didn't even have labels. We had pizza boxes in racks saying "see james so and so" and james so and so hadn't worked there for like 2 years! We had servers labeled after movie characters, like, Bullet-tooth-tony. AHAHAH  Massive cluster fuck. I had full range, free power, countless useless servers that did nothing and empty racks  and i could have mined btc but i didn't really look into bitcoin until late 2013.

I try not to think about it.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Shoulda woulda coulda. Why should have it been you? It's easy to say things like this in hindsight but there's more to life than becoming a millionaire any way. Besides, it's still early days for bitcoin and we still could be early adopters in the grand scheme of things. If you believe in bitcoin buy or aquire as many as you can and hodl and hope for the best but in the meantime you should try to realize money isn't everything nor is it an anti-depressant.

it took most of us a while to find bitcoin.  i was hooked from the second day i was reading.  if you were aware of bitcoin but did not participate instead playing with fools gold, it is your own fault.

Well, why not get involved with a BTC start up or something, there is plenty of potential left in this horse. maybe the easy money get rich quick thing passed you by but weve yet to see the killer app or whatever.
or get a btc atm and get some cut from the transactions...

also, as others have mentioned, we could still see the price get much much higher. once some new territories start adopting and china gets back on board in a bigger way its pretty certain well see higher average prices.

if theres one thing self made millionaires all have in common its corny things like persistance and positive mental brain stuff:p

You mean he actually has to put work into making money? Nah not going to happen. He wants it to fall into his lap, become a millionaire overnight.

Heck, if you knew the price of any stock as little as one day in the future, you could be a millionaire pretty much overnight.  Again, nothing to get worked up about.  Everyone misses boats.  No biggie, just keep trying your hand at new things and one day it'll work out.

Look at it this way, buddy. If you're a kazillionaire and can't get laid (or whatever trivial thing in life), then money is the least of your problems.

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.

I bought 500 BTC at $3 in 2011 and cashed out in 2012 at $6. It does not feel good to be buying $220 bitcoins today while listening to all these people crying that bitcoin is dead and doomed and crashing and blah blah blah, (if I still had 500 BTC today I'd definitely be driving a nicer car) but I got over my depression and decided that I cannot go back and change the past, but I can make good decisions in the present. I don't want to be sitting around 10 years from now when 1 BTC = $100,000 crying about how I knew bitcoin was a good investment back in 2015 when it was only $220. So I'm buying what I can at the current price, and I'll keep buying consistently regardless of the price until the day that I am paid by my employer directly in BTC.

Regret and depression is useless negative energy that only compiles into more regret and depression. The solution is to make good decisions in the present and forget about the past.

You could have done worse. Some people are wasting time feverishly buying into every new alt coin trying to make up for missing Bitcoin.

Hint: the next big thousand-bagger will probably not be an alt coin or Bitcoin N.0, although I still feel that Bitcoin has room to grow.

That's attitude with wich you will never archieve anything in your pathetic life as your way of thinking is really retarded. I knew about it too, i even had some coins but i spent them, who cares fuck it that's life, bitter and sour.

The only online casino on which i won something. I made 17mBTC from 1mBTC in like 15 minutes.  This is not paid AD!

I feel totally different  Grin

Now it is the time to cheer that you can get cheap coins without investing in much more sophisticated mining rigs. With same fiat money you can buy much more coins now than several months ago, what to regret?

If you have faith in its long term success, any drop in exchange rate is a good opportunity to buy, the more it drops the more you can buy

Is it too late if you buy in right now? Even for me, I've also missed the boat but I still consider the opportunity wide open at the moment. It all depends on how you look at it. Feeling regret and depressed won't lead to anything.

No it's not too late, but this guy is sad he's missed the change to get rich quick and doesn't want to wait any longer. Buy now and wait a few years or maybe longer and we could see gains which would make people millionaires, but this guy would likely be saying the same thing if that ever happened  Cheesy.
