Ha, I missed so many great things. The most obvious was not to buy $10K worth of bitcoin when it just started.

Luckily (or not) I am an easy going person and do not dwell on things.

It could be worse: you could have bought bitcoin when it started and then have sold it for a profit of $40. ;)

I could have retired making early iPhone apps but I was already so burned out on how shitty mobile carriers were behaving that I just sat it out.

Hey at least you didn't aggressively "day trade" it all away with your idiot friends who moved in and tried to start a "fund". Good times.

In the beginning you didn't really buy BTC. You could mine a few off of your nvidia card in less than a week.

I was focused on doing useless things like cracking md5 hashed passwords and didn't really believe you could pay for things with it.

Regret on a different level.

		We used to tests servers before deploying them to customers and for that we ran intensive CPU software for days. I told my direct manager to mine bitcoin for fun. But he being a nerd for UFOs proposed to use Seti@Home. This was 2009, months after the official launch. We had extremely expensive servers with multi-cpu setups continuously running. We could have become easily one of the top miners nodes in the world back then. But instead we helped to proof the lack of alien communication towards the earth.
