Whew, that brings me back!

I still think about the Bitcoin my buddy paid me for his half of a pizza ~15 years ago... worth 6 figures now haha.

I have a cousin who received around 2 BTC after playing some cards with some people. Wasn't worth much at the time. He sold the coins immediately.

Better not to dwell on such things.

Yup. I was really close to buying $1000 (at $1) worth of BTC ages ago. I don't dwell because the stress of managing that through time would have eaten me away lol.

With that said, i do regret not at least mining/etc. Back then i could have mined in many ways, and getting into it as a hobby probably would have meant holding larger amounts of BTC in the long run.

		I remember thinking about buying $100 (at $10). And then realizing I didn't actually know how to do it and didn't feel like looking it up or going through whatever steps to do that kind of transaction online, or worrying about getting scammed....
