RE: Let's Talk—My Tryst With Bitcoin in 2009 and What Happened Next!
Did you stumble across Bitcoin in it's early days and miss the boat? If Yes, What happened?
My story is infused by karma and humor.
I first stumbled upon Bitcoin when it was just about $520 a coin, and back then I couldn't understand what Bitcoin is. All I know is that people are believing that it has the potential to increase in value.
My friend and I were supposed to jump into the boat, but then one of our office mates, suddenly butted in. Well, actually, he was promoting it. However, we had already history with this guy, and most of what he offers turn out to be "scam", unintentionally of course. He just attracts bad luck with these things. So, we took it as a joke, and my colleague and I decided to scrap the idea.
It was one heck of a bad decision. It was karma for making fun of the guy. Had we bought it as that price, we could have been millionaires already. Still, there was a lot of uncertainty. We didn't know it will hit this big.
We just always reminisce with both *regret and laughter.
Wow..this is so hilarious
It's actually still a running joke whenever the topic of bitcoin is raised in the office. That guy! :)
Looool really nice haha
Same thing happened to me! 2013 and 2014... passed up on it and regretted it. Jumped in last year and have felt at least some redemption with yhe meteoric rise in value... though not as much if I got in years ago.
