alt Hacker NewsMy question is, why would you do that to yourself? Living with regrets of the past that would never have been, anyway, seems like a recipe for sadness and despair. Maybe my sense of fun or humor or whatever is off, but I just don't get doing this to yourself, man. You could have hooked into them and thought $1,000 is the highest it'll go and sold them all them. Who knows‽
No offense meant. Just my two Satoshis.
Honestly, it's mostly just dark humor and a bit of financial "exposure therapy". Sometimes seeing the absurdly huge, multi-million dollar number makes the regret feel almost comical rather than actually depressing.
But you are 100% right about the $1k mark. In reality, almost none of us would have held to the top. We would have sold the moment it doubled, bought new iphone and felt like geniuses. That's the reality this calculator conveniently ignores for the sake of the joke!
Appreciate your two Satoshis!
