Ha, I missed so many great things. The most obvious was not to buy $10K worth of bitcoin when it just started.

Luckily (or not) I am an easy going person and do not dwell on things.

It could be worse: you could have bought bitcoin when it started and then have sold it for a profit of $40. ;)

I could have retired making early iPhone apps but I was already so burned out on how shitty mobile carriers were behaving that I just sat it out.

Hey at least you didn't aggressively "day trade" it all away with your idiot friends who moved in and tried to start a "fund". Good times.

In the beginning you didn't really buy BTC. You could mine a few off of your nvidia card in less than a week.

I was focused on doing useless things like cracking md5 hashed passwords and didn't really believe you could pay for things with it.

Regret on a different level.
