How I lost $160,000 By Not Buying Into Bitcoin in 2012
My last two posts have been about how I've become successful in my career and sharing that information with you all so you could do the same.

I am going to continue this series as much as I can.
About 5-6 years a go I was listening to a conservative radio show when Max Keiser was screaming (I was 25 at the time):
BUY BITCOIN NOW!!! YOU WILL GET RICH IF YOU DO
I, like most people didn't understand crypto currencies back then. However, I did try to open a wallet and buy $200 worth. That would have given me about 40 Bitcoins. I am thinking Canadian dollars so that's about $160K if I actually with through with my purchase.
That's my Coinbase account.
Why didn't I go through with it? Because I was young, didn't fully understand crypto currencies, and didn't have an investment mindset at the time.
I will not make the same mistake with Steemit. I am doing well enough to put a few $100 here and there with Steemit and Bitcoin.
Tell me your stories. Any shoulda, woulda, coulda stories? I am not saying let's think of what could have been. I am just trying to learn from our mistakes collectively.
You didn't technically lose any money. You just messed up hardcore.
Thank you for correcting me. Yes, I messed up ROYALLY!
I know how you feel.
I did "accidentally" buy 7 coins at the time, which helps. Regardless, I lost out on something like 40 coins because of my ignorance.
At least you have 7 coins.

Do you have a nomination for the Steemian of the Day draw?
I have no idea what that means. I am after all, very new here.
Do you know of anyone whom has done a random act of kindness?

Unfortunately, no. I don't know anyone that has done a random act of kindness. Not on Steemit at least. I would nominate you because you've been been the most engaged on a post I've made :)
Thanks bro, I can't enter.
If you come up with someone, let me know.
Will do. Have a wonderful day.
