Soup Sup Forums. What is your biggest fuck up or regret?
For me: >I heard about bitcoin when it first started. >Young ADHD me became obsessed, for the span of a month. >Realized my month of filling captchas to collect from faucets and mining on my shitty hardware only netted me ~100btc >Of course all was sent to the wallet located on my HDD, which at the time was worth maybe $5-6usd. >Laughed it off and figured it was absolutely worthless. >Forget about shitty meme wallet, and upgraded PC. >I live in a somewhat rural area so I take garbage to the dump my self.
I will never forget throwing away that PC at the dump. I remember thinking I was so happy to chuck that hunk of junk and not look back.
I almost want to cry thinking about it..
Tl;Dr: I got in on bitcoin near the beginning, and thought it was a joke. I then threw away my PC with a wallet containing ~100BTC at the local dump.
>I will never forget throwing away that PC at the dump. I remember thinking I was so happy to chuck that hunk of junk and not look back. >not digging thru muck in the dump for 1.1 mil >telling ppl about it
Charles Jones
just for curiosities sake you wouldnt happen to know the name of your local dump?
Connor Miller
taking finasteride.

Colton Sanders
sell all your bitcoins. last warning
Asher Fisher
please tell more
Jace Martin
Not going with energetic materials sciences in college.
I like to blow shit up. Well, at least I can still make nitroglycerin/EGDN/ETN in my home lab if I want.
Jordan Cruz
Being born a millennial in the United States, and thinking being a hipster was cool in the 2000s was cool.
Christopher Parker
what happened to you?
Nolan Bennett
post finasteride syndrome. I'm 23 now, took that shit when i was 19 for just two months. my dick works just barely works, and I'm pretty sure I have fucked up my brain chemestry.
Alexander Anderson
lol, no.
Jordan Cox
all these soycoin spam threads lately, really makes you think
Hudson Bell
I dont know anything about bitcoin. How do you mine it? I thought you could only buy it?
Jason Scott
in the beginning you could literally mine it on a laptop's CPU kek
the difficulty goes up and up. Nowadays there's literally factorys full of mining hardware in different spots of the world and yeah it's totally useless to mine yourself
Yes I do, and trust me, I've been down that road. I inquired my local dump when bitcoin first hit a $1000. Was laughed at, its lost forever, I will forever regret throwing away what's basically a million dollars.
Michael Green
Yup, like I said, I had mined 100btc that first month with a core 2 quad. Honestly I hate bitcoin now. I suppose it was my young self's fault for not thinking any of my data was srsbiz and saying fuck back ups, more space for porn..
Alexander Jenkins
most people thought this way because 99% this is the way it is and if you save everything (you can't know what gets big) you'd have a junkyard
but yeah even I feel the missed opportunity in your case. You could've been one in a million if you kept the wallet...
Eli Allen
That sucks but you could have bought xmr, or eth, or dash, or miota stay in the game
Landon Parker
Bitcoin IS worthless
The only reason people are buying it is because they think it will go up.
Gabriel Johnson
They're buying it because it's the best money laundering tool around for people who aren't rich enough to buy $50,000,000 paintings(that come with a ton of free cocaine at no extra charge!).
Money laundering is an extremely profitable business.
Zachary Gray
True. But that's also what will give Bitcoin heat in the future. Other ecurrencies have been killed with the same reasoning - money laundering. And to be fair, anonymous currencies do in fact have heavy money laundering activity. It's frightening to learn that the money launder operation often makes 70% or a high share like that of all the volume.
Henry Cook
By the way, it might be of interest to note that the Winklevii are now considered to be the first bitcoin billionaires.
you can always expect to buy oil with $ and oil is always useful
scrap currencies inflate all the time
William Myers
>[insert commodity here] is worthless >the only reason people are buying it is because they think it will go up
Chase Russell
Bitcoin noob here, please someone explain to me: if there is finite number of keys and op trashed 100 BTC's into the dump, considering that the hdd was destroyed, does that mean that those bitcoins are lost forever and total bitcoin pool has decreased permamently?
Cameron Diaz
consumable products are the best because they diminish over time and create a constant demand
in a very simple economy, cigarettes are good because junkies will drive demand and reduce possible inflation
Carter Bennett
Yes, the UTILIZABLE bitcoin pool is reduced since his coins are locked
Juan Martinez
Even if it was only worth $5 why did you throw it away you retard? It's throwing away money you dumb fuck
Michael Lewis
because scanning documents and with all fees subtracted it's a lot of work and possible problem for what, $4
Carson Nguyen
My sister had a black Sudanese refugee boyfriend and my dad was mad as fuck and threatened to kick her out of the house (she was 16 and he was 29 at least)
This was a few years ago and I was a bluepilled fag 20 year old Uni student so in the night I tied my dad to the bed and when he woke up I threatened to slit his throat if he ever behaved in such a racist fashion and told him I would kill him and eat his corpse if he prevented my sister from losing her virginity to her new man.
So 8 years later she has 3 black kids from 3 dads, no boyfriend, a drug problem and probably has HIV. Also she has had 2 abortions.
She also named the first kid after me so now there is a little mongrel with my name running around. Also one of the black boyfriends she had (her 2nd kids dad) fucked my mum and they ran away to Senegal together. My dad is depressed now.
Noah Parker
kek I'm pretty sure this isnt true
Liam Davis
That’s.. rough
Adrian Long
I lost over 2000 BTC back in 2011 when my computer got stolen, so you're not alone.
Christopher Campbell
yes it is
James Evans
i was into bitcoin in 2011 and we used it only as shitty exchange nobody expected that it would be ever hitting over 10$
literally everybody thought that in that time
Nolan Barnes
Why can't you just log into your electronic wallet from another machine - is it not stored in the cloud?
> how retarded, if someone blows up the mining factory, then its all gone?
Hudson Evans
>lots of stories like this >no reason to be upset >you never would have held during the 1k, 3k hysteria... or the ups and downs to say you trashed 1MIL is absolutely unreasonable and misleading
Elijah Thomas
That's the gayest thing i ever heard I don't know whether to feel sorry for you or hate you
Gabriel Thompson
well you need a "password" so not everyone can use your "coin" unless you save print or photographic memory that "password" is lost
You know what, you would have sold at 100$ on the first peak and have even more regrets right now. It happened to so many people.
You really think you'd see your coins worth 10'000$ that you got for free and keep them 5 more years before selling ? And then you'd sell right now at the top ?
John Martinez
You speak excellent English for a German
Joshua Gomez
>throwing away ONE MILLION DOLLARS
Angel Adams
you gave your sister THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES AIDS?
AHAHAHAH FIRST THE MILLION BUCKS NOW THIS...
Sup Forums PLEASE
PLEASE
Blake Martin
Did you ever say sorry to your dad for fucking everything up?
Noah Anderson
I bet the stupid chav didn't even apologize. I'm sure granddad is always so proud of his sudanese mongrel grandchildren.
Charles Reyes
2 types people are making real money off coins
The site owners who all work together, which is why sites all go down at once to prevent sell offs
The people making new coins People rush to mine and buy new coins, price shoots up and they laugh as they own 50% or more of all coins already
Thomas Williams
I feel bit coins are a meme. I was going to buy some roids online but the only way to buy roids was through a bit coin transaction. Fucking roid dealer wanted $200 worth of bit coin but in order to buy bit coins I had to buy $500 worth of it first.
Blake Morales
Won't this be a problem over time? Surely situations like this will repeat over time for a different reasons. Won't that cause the shortage of a capital on the market? Or can bitcons be divided into smaller chunks infinitely?
Brody Bailey
Holy shit the bitcoin thing.
I had so many chances.
user was literally given them away.
Jayden Sullivan
I could only belive this from the UK or sweden
Logan Brooks
Millions of people are saying that. If they all bought it would be at 100k+ right now.
I bought when Sup Forums was spamming the fuck out of it in 2013, it was 300$ and everyone said it's too late. I'm sitting on 4000% gains right now, that's 40x my money.
When it's 200k in 2025 you'll still say "I had so many chances".
Levi Barnes
Technically yes, until the jews decide to drop their quantum computers capable of brute forcing all hashes. (They probably already have the tech available)
Jackson Morales
...
Cooper Butler
wow just fucking kill yourself
Brandon Bailey
No. Bitcoin is divisible, bitcoins that are locked up in destroyed keys reduce liquidity and increase the price. We can just use smaller decimal units as the price increases.
Honestly you should be happy. You are telling all of us that you really want to be rich and have a million freedom bucks to be happy. That's a simple goal with an easily measured outcome. Why don't you pull your fucking thumb out of your ass and go start making money?
People seem to want all or nothing. They aren't interested in making solid gains. They only care if they can become 1% in the world rich overnight. Like lottery ticket buyers (niggers).
Jackson Stewart
back in high school, in 2010, one of the nerdy kids who sat next to me in a class kept telling me about bitcoins and to get some. I didn't understand it so I didn't buy them.. he's rich and i break my ass at my manual labor job everyday...
also, losing a few years of my life to the black hole that is opiates. I'm clean now but lost contact with ALL of my friends so I'm a lonely miserable prick.do not do opiates anons.
those are my two biggest blunders
Kevin Diaz
I just want to let you guys know that there will always be another opportunity. Don't live in the past, don't live with regret, just make sure when the next "big thing" comes around you will be part of it and you have the vision to understand its potential.
t. man in his thirties who's had dozens of opportunities to get rich and only got somewhat wealthy once he got his ass up and acted when he saw an opportunity
Jaxon Ross
Your dad should have had you locked up in a mental ward. his mistake.
But ur probably just a larping faggot.
Levi Phillips
is opiate addiction painful? I heard about them not being able to shit and now I'm sort of fascinated with what happens to opiate junkies.
Austin Martin
Don't feel bad OP, Buttcoin sounds like a Ponzi scheme, it's only a matter of time before the bubble bursts.
>No one knows the true Identity of Buttcoin's inventor. >The inventor imposed an artificial max limit of 21 million Buttcoins. >The inventor disappeared with 1million Buttcoins when it was still fairly easy and quick to mine Buttcoins. >Every 4 years the difficulty to mine Buttcoins increases, it also becomes more time consuming to mine them(As of 2017, there are approximately 16 million Buttcoins in circulation) . >It is estimated the artificially imposed goal of 21 million Buttcoins will be completed by 2100-2140. >Buttcoin is extremely volatile it lost 20% (1/5) of its total value just a few days ago.
Gabriel Lee
There's a bunch, in order:
>not having a clear plan for life after High School >believing my parents to the point I need up homeless for years due to their schemes >supporting said parents until I was almost 30 while working minimum wage >dating a crazy bitch who was obsessed with me in HS only to leave me less than a year later >not investing in BTC when it was $7
That's all the major ones I have so far, though I can say in whole that a lot more mistakes than progress has been made.
Josiah Long
Let's not forget that the inventor's name, 'Satoshi Nakamoto', also conveniently happens to translate to "Central Intelligence" :^)
It's a project of some sort if you ask me.
Nathaniel Ward
That's bullshit, but I believe it.
Nathan Jenkins
>No one knows the true Identity of Buttcoin's inventor. Who cares ? One of the main point is that it's decentralised, it's better there's no one behind it that could manipulate it with a single tweet. >The inventor imposed an artificial max limit of 21 million Buttcoins. It's just numbers and you can divide them, it wouldn't change anything if there were 1 or 100 billions of them. Ethereum has no limit and it's just behind bitcoin in market value, it can replace bitcoin anytime it wouldn't surprise anyone. >The inventor disappeared with 1million Buttcoins when it was still fairly easy and quick to mine Buttcoins. He never touched them. Also 1 million coins would be absorbed my the market really quickly. >Every 4 years the difficulty to mine Buttcoins increases, it also becomes more time consuming to mine them(As of 2017, there are approximately 16 million Buttcoins in circulation) . And the price goes up accordingly, that's just number changing but the result is the same. >It is estimated the artificially imposed goal of 21 million Buttcoins will be completed by 2100-2140. I don't get the point of this argument. >Buttcoin is extremely volatile it lost 20% (1/5) of its total value just a few days ago. Just don't panic sell at lows and buy back at tops and you'll be even or up in a few days. Also you can cover your gains by going into USDT, which is a coin who's always worth 1$.
But yeah I guess we're in a bubble, like we were 4 times already and it still goes way up every time. The 18th december future will be open and wall street is going to be able to legally invest. youtube.com/watch?v=XbZ8zDpX2Mg

Blockchain is created by "miners". They use their computers to calculate hash and approx. once in 10 minutes somebody finds the hash for current block and is rewarded 50 tbc (or 25 Idk about current rate). The thing is, the average you earn by mining is less than you spend on electricity, unless you have specialized equipment or very cheap electricity. This makes mining with home PC pretty much useless now. But at the beginning when there was no competition you could mine tbc easily, but at the time it was worhless.
I regret spending my tbc to drugs, back when it was worhless.
Liam Hughes
>I don't get the point of this argument. If the Inventor was able to amass 1 million Buttcoins in a few years and it will take 100+ years to mine all 21 million Buttcoins, what does that tell you?
Juan Gomez
Not getting Pussy until I was 22. Trying too hard to impress women once, then when I realised how cringey I was being I never tried to impress women at all during my teenage years incase I’d go too far again.
Lincoln Peterson

Ryan Rivera
fuck off, my dad forgave me at least I am not a coalburning
Jaxon Kelly
>he doesn't take Finasteride pic related is my recent order of 1mg Fin.
Grayson Martinez
another thing is while you're on opiates you don't feel pain. When you mistreat your joints and other parts of your body it doesn't hurt.
And when you stop taking opiates after a long time of usage, you might have pain everywhere in your body. And the worst part is, it's usually real pain meaning there is actual damage. You just weren't aware of it.
Zachary Long
also if you're too high on your dosage you nearly suffocate. Breathing suppressed...
Colton Bell
I think a lot of early adopters have similar stories with BTC. Summer of 2015 I cashed out my small number of BTC (like 8 or so) cause I assumed it was just gonna disappear. I had mined them with my GPU a year or so before literally as a hobby just for shits. Was happy as fuck to sell them for like $1200 or whatever it was simply for learning how they worked. So yeah, super fucking pissed off now obviously.
Jace Cox
I remember wanting to get into Bitcoin so bad when it first came out but I didn't know what I was doing and gave up.
Isaiah Ward
I graduated from high school at 17 and was already engaged to my high school sweetheart. We went to the same college and everything. My declared major was biology and my plan was med school. 4.0 after that first year and on my way. Then we decided we didn't want to wait so long to get married and start a family so we both decided on nursing school instead. Now I'm 34, divorced, make a small fraction of what I would have made as a doctor, and pay a huge percentage of that in child support. Now I couldn't afford to go back to school if I wanted to and I'm looking at the rest of my life working 60 hour weeks just to make ends meet and to be able to save a bit. OP you lost a windfall because of lack of foresight. I lost my life.
Adam Kelly
all the electricity being wasted on mining bitcoin could power Tokyo for a year.
Chase Moore
the bitcoin community only cares about making a quick buck for themselves. That's where all the emphasis is. And what do they say - can only con those who want to take advantage of others. Pretty accurate.
Ayden Perry
Whent to kenya with my girlfrend (at the time) for a vacation, i remember how before ride her girlfrends would joke about how black men had big penises, but i was sure my gf is loyal to me, she realy whanted to go so i said okay. we stayed at local hotel and stayed there for about a month or so, for some reson every night she would sneak out of our room becouse she thought i was a sleep first few days i didnt bother about it but then it got to strange, so one night i was acting like i fell a sleep and waited untill she would sneak out and folow her, she whent in some other hotel room, nothing happened for about an hour but then she started to moan, like having sex, i got fucking furious and tried to open the door but was not abble to, so i ran down and asked waitress if she could open the door, and she said no, i ran back up and forced my way in, and as i though she was fucking with some nigger, i was shocked but not to much i allready knew what they where doing by the sound of it, i ran towards them and started to beat him but he woke up with a fucking boner and we started to fight, i lost that fight he hit me in face and my noise started to bleed, then he pushed me and i was down, i woke up and just walked away like nothing happened, in next she came to me and was begging me and said she was sorry and will never do it again, i realy loved her and well long story short i forgave her, like a cuck we returned back to home, and after few months she said she needs to see her family in canada, and she wount be back soon, i said okay, after few days of her being gone, one of her girlfrends came up to me and said she was sorry for me and explained that she didnt go to canada to see her family but rather to kenya and that the ''incident'' me and her had i n kenya was not an accident she knew what she was doing, she told me how my gf would brag that she fucked countless black men in kenya and how she used facebook to contact local fuckboys in kenya she even paid them up to
Dylan Rodriguez
Those bitcoins exist and always will, all you need to do is find the wallet provider, guess correctly 34 letters and numbers then the 20 word, matrix password. Lel
Isaiah Evans
100 Euros to have sex with her from my fucking money, she used my savings to pay them to cuck me, i didnt beleave this and thought her girlfrend is just crazy or likes me but i asked my old frend from collage to hack her facebook, and he did, i checked her FB and it turns out nor only she fucked that kenyan but had paid countless of men on every our trip to fuck her.When she arieved i didnt whant to see her anymore, my regret is that i didnt dumb her at that moment when i found her and kenyan nigger fucking.
same regret OP. I was sitting there card in hand about to spend $500 on BTC when it was just over $1 a piece, I hate my life for not pulling the trigger.

>Didn't invest in Bitcoin back in '11 >didn't invest in the market back in the depths of the recession when the dow was around 6 1/2k >didn't invest during the mild market slump in the hours after Trump won thereby missing out on 2017 rally. I can't handle money or investing for shit.
Jordan Mitchell
Why are you divorced user? >trusting women with your shekels I'm sorry user

>>didn't invest in the market back in the depths of the recession when the dow was around 6 1/2k so much potential there
If I knew my way around investing I would've definitely gone in on this

We got married way too young. We started dating when we were 16 and were each other's first. When we were 27 we had a disagreement. She thought it was ok to fuck other guys. I disagreed.

I could have bought EA at around 10 bucks per share before it just skyrocketed to 100 the past few years. My reasoning for not buying their company? I know their products and they're complete and utter garbage. I guess I shouldn't have underestimated the stupidity of normies to buy their 70 dollar games with day 1 $30 DLC packs.
Kevin Reyes
HOOOLY FUCK!!! 100 BITCOINS??
