Because I’m not a pedophile or a drug dealer. The government should figure out who did, seize their assets and put them in jail, since they were clearly up to no good.

>>58455683
I didn't have access to capital or understand the concept. I was probably in 8th grade.

>>58455683
I was underage, broke, living on a country that barely has electricity, with nobody to borrow money from and no body to buy Bitcoin from. I also wanted to mine it but I had no computer or money to rent one

>>58455683
Where? From Amir Taki by sending him cash in an envelope?

>>58455683
i wasnt hanging in cypherpunk circles but during that time unlike those cypher nerds i was getting genuine attraction from cuties

I didn't know it existed.

>>58455683
Because I was 8 years old and playing Runescape you absolute retardio fucker

Something is telling me the lambo owner didn't fall for the HODL meme

>>58455683
Because im not having internet at that times, and im not seen very well, so i was in a huge mentally unwell state, and now im into even bigger and seeimg even worse, i cant also breath through my nose naturally. And literally cant go out of house because i dont know how too.

So its pretty much over, so kys now i guess.

Vast majority of $1 buyers sold at $6 and felt like absolute geniuses.

>>58455683
Why havent you bought $BAPU at bottom, retard?

>>58455683
I didn't even know what the fuck they were talking about when I saw a post on a gaming forum about BTC passing $1. I only realized what was going on when it hit $100, but I thought I would just lose money. I didn't understand where this bitcoin I am buying will be sitting. The Mt.Gox collapse made me stay away completely. I also remember thinking to buy ETH around $70. With the amount of money I had then, even a perfect 50x wouldn't make me rich.

Can we be honest? Most of you fucks would have either lost your keys, got bamboozled by Mt gox or sold early

>>58456056
these idiots would've tried trading and lost it all too. It's exactly what they're doing right now. All you have to do is buy and hold btc.

>>58455683

I was actually into libertarian philosophy at the time and I knew that this existed.
I was also into computers at the time with a custom-built mid-range AMD PC.

I knew that you could trade computational power out of your computer to get this. I did google this a couple of times but I was too much of a young 19-year-old brainlet to understand what Mining pools were and I gave up.

Never fucking again

I was 14 years old

>>58455947
That will be me at 360k

>>58455683
>wait so everyone has to carry around an entire copy of every transaction ever made?
>and it works by guessing hashes in reverse?
>That's stupid
I also thought
>only 21 million? That's not enough to go around, people will want a whole bitcoin

>>58455683
Because at $1 there were no exchanges to buy it. You could only mine it yourself.

>>58456289
I think you could send money by mail to certain russian individuals and they would then load the bitcoin into your wallet.

>>58455683
because no one sold it to me until 2013

>>58455683
I looked at it and thought it was fucking cool but was too dumb to figure out how to buy it or mine it so I gave up and went back to playing cod.
I would have either spent it, lost the keys or sold at $100 anyway, that's my cope

>>58455683
Those black out plates are NPC-as-fuck.
I saw one on a dumbass 3series beemer who was riding the bumper of a guy in the fast lane who was passing a string of cars.

>>58456056
>tfw you knew about bitcoin in 2009 and wanted to mine %1 of the supply but my shit iBuyPowerPC made me rethink that decision

I did, first bought at 80 cents or so, in fact.
Used it to buy drugs on silk road.

>>58455683
because I was unaware of its existence, and when I did I thought it was just a scam, now I even use things like maga to try to get there without going bankrupt

>>58455683
I wanted to, but my mum said no.

>>58455683
It's currently $0.1 though

>>58455683
Since I was only 13 years old at the time, don't expect me to answer your question. I'm still making money on low-cap alts like DUA, which I bought on MEXC. The integration of AA by Brillion smart wallet caught my attention.

>>58455683
I was literally going out of elementary school, at least I got into super in my adulthood

>>58455697
this guy gets it. it was NEVER a "store of money" or "inflation hedge" back then. It was simply a currency to buy stuff on the darkweb.

>>58455683
Why haven,t you bought aast now, retard?

>>58458428
The idea of an anonymous (we thought so back then) and decentralized internet currency was so fucking cool coming out of the recession.
Not everyone was buying drugs. Lot of people were just mining because it cost nothing

>>58455697
I see you in this board often. What is your net worth?

>>58455683
Because I bought it at $0.35.
Shit was so cash.

>>58455683
the same way you will not but SUPRA at tge. forget the regret and focus on what's coming

i was 9 years old

>>58455683
I was too busy doing a sonic heroes speedrun while avoiding buying candy to buy a new game, it's ironic that I do the same with a couple of coins from dextools but to buy a car

>>58455683
I was busy getting laid, unironically. Was it worth it? I don't know. Getting laid doesn't appreciate in value like bitcoin does.

>>58459406
rly? how much do you value the memory of the tight vagene you were dicking down 15 years ago versus the tired wizards sleeve waiting in bed for you now?

>>58459419
Fucking prime teen pussy when I was 19 was great. But if I was rich with Bitcoin I could still be doing that now instead of shitposting on a chinese cartoons forum.

>>58455683
Because I was too young.
However
>Started mining bitcoin in 2013, stop after two months because I realized it was running up my parents energy bill for a loss
>Years later ask my parents to let me use my college money to buy bitcoin, they refuse
>Put my meager earnings from dead end part time jobs into btc over the years
>Daytrade before IRS hawking era
>Get spooked by IRS, hodl monero
>Bleed sats to 1/12th of my original btc holding
I am persecuted

I did, I had bitcoin in early 2012

no regrets I wouldnt have hodld anyway

I did, but I spent it on weed and psychedelics because I was a degenerate college kid at the time.

>just figure out how to buy imaginary coins from some random shady website that totally put them in an invisible wallet in the ether that you must now memorize several words and numbers for and then keep those phrases safe for ten years and then figure out how to put your imaginary coins on an exchange that hopefully 1. won't freeze your account because you're "suspicious" 2. rugpull and vanish with your coins and 3. not charge you fees out the ass and then you'll be a millionaire!

mfw i ruined my life by not buying btc when i was 10

>got stim checks in 2021
>I remember doge was still ~.07c
>didn't understand how to buy it yet because didn't know anything about crypto
>bought when it was ~0.15
>accidentally set a sell point around 0.58
>doubled my stim checks in less than a month
>elon tanks on SNL
>lose profits
I wish I knew earlier

>>58455683
I was under a rock at that time, but anyway, I bought some ETH and staked it on Yield Nest to get an exclusive NFT for that 15% permanent Seeds boost.

>>58455965
I'd rather wait for the mainnet of the protocol that partnered with Curvance and restake my ETH to earn passively than buying BAPU.

I was in middleschool.
