One year, years ago, when Bitcoin was at 3000-4500 and going up, I told EVERYONE to invest, family, work friends, my boss.

i WAS YOUNG, and it took over my personality, I had .8 BTC

When It was at 12000, I was sort of acted excited and continued to tell them,

Noone invested.

It went to 80,0000.

Everyone hated me for it,

hahaha

Little do they know I sold half at 16,000 and other half at 8000 so I barely made money.

I was hyping up Bitcoin my senior year of highschool when it was like $100. Telling everyone that it's the next big thing. Had to come up with post graduation plans to get my degree(was a requirement). I said I wanted to mine a bunch of Bitcoin and develop blockchain software. Was told I needed a "real plan" to either go to college or join the military.

Shortly after I graduated, my Bitcoin wallet got corrupted, and after I managed to salvage it, I got frustrated and decided to just spend everything to buy games because I was frustrated, and move on.

When Bitcoin ran up to $50,000, I had a lot of people reaching out to me to ask me for money, crypto advice, etc. Was awkward to explain that no, I am not a crypto millionaire, and didn't follow my own advice.

That’s an interesting story. Thanks for sharing it. I think that such stories have an important role in the Bitcoin ecosystem, since they are contributing to the ethos.

Found out about bitcoin when needing to buy few things while back from certain “famous” website. Was impressed by BTC and read a lot about the technology, never crossed my mind to buy and hold… I think at the time BTC was less than 100$… was beating myself for not buying and holding, until I realized that I would have lost it all due to quadriga scam eventually lol…

Bro, you just need to keep that 10k wrapped up for the next 10 years and you'll break even for sure. Another 10 years and you'll be up 10%. You really think you'll need that money in the next 20 years? Paper hands...

This hits home. Last TG I told my friend to just buy calls and sell as soon as they turn profit.

He got a divorce this August. Prolly unrelated, right?
