I kick myself because I heard about Bitcoin when they were $1 each and I didnt buy but the guy who's kicking himself the most is the guy who made the first bitcoin purchase. He bought a pizza for 10000 bitcoins which at peak were worth over half a billion dollars.
I bought 2 boxes of ccs with 600ish coins. Was paranoid about ordering them and this looked like a safer way to do it... except I still had to have my address on the box that went through customs. Getting cash back out of it was difficult in the early years so I spent another 100ish on a membership to a torrent tracker for pirated movies n stuff and then just kinda forgot about it. That computer got retired around 2011 and I put a 40 caliber bullet through the hard drive before taking everything to the scrapyard on a scrap run to make sure none of my sensitive data could be found.
Then bitcoin got to like $100 and I kicked myself for that bonehead move. I try not to think about it. Even if I still had it, I would have sold at $100 without a doubt so I don't think of it as losing millions, just 10k. I've made other 10k mistakes since then. Live n learn.
