Thank you guys. That's now only funny story. You wont believe me if I told you what I've experienced in crypto world: MtGox, btct.co, BitFunder. I even bought this account for 0.1 BTC it is no surprise that I became a troll :).

I think everyone who has dabbled with crypto currencies for a few years has at least one painful story like that. I sold all my ETH at 16 or 17 dollar a piece after the developers did the hard fork to steal back money from the DAO hacker, I really thought ETH would die because of that. Well, turns out it didn't die. While I could have made thousands of dollars selling my ETH now compared to the few hundred dollars I got back then, I still think it was the right choice at the time (and I made good use of the money).

I think that is the best way to think about it. I didn't make that choice in a vacuum, there was a reason I sold, I thought long about it. I also once owned 35 Bitcoin and sold them for about $100 (Spent would be the better word here than sold, I actually used Bitcoin to buy stuff, I didn't use it as an investment). Quite painful to realize how much money I'd have now if I I had held on to them. But again, at the time, the decision to spend the Bitcoin made sense, so it was kind of bad luck and not a mistake that I could have prevented, it only looks that way in hindsight, so it's nothing to keep fretting about forever.

Berating yourself only makes sense if you actually had access to information that would have changed your decision and didn't make use of that information. Otherwise, you made the best possible choice with the data you had on hand and that's not a mistake, even when it turns out you were wrong.

I've got one story like that too though, one that truly was a really stupid mistake. I sold 100 LTC for $1. In total, not per LTC. Selling for $1 is just stupid. I obviously didn't need $1 so badly that I had to sell, I could have just held on to them, there is no excuse for that particular bit of stupidity :)

Thanks for sharing your stories. It's nearly impossible to avoid all FOMO in this volatile crypto investing environment, right?

I think the best a person can do is to define their own principles (i.e. risk tolerance, goals, etc), and then act in a reasonably conservative manner. For me, that means paying off debt before making major crypto investments, which is PAINFUL man. but hopefully it pays off in the long run.

Couldn't agree more :) Risk tolerance is really important. Too many people invest more money than they can afford to loose because there is always this idea of "I'll get rich!". And yes, that can happen. But you might not want to bet your life savings on that. Personally, I only ever spent small amounts on crypto currencies. I bought 34 Ethereum for $10 for example in the Ethereum pre-sale. Then sold them for $500 (and could have made $8000 if I had sold them right now). Did the same with Storj, MaidSafe and a few others and by only spending $10 on each, I made thousands without any real risk.

So you really don't need to invest huge sums if you're an early bird. And new crypto coins are created all the time so you can always still be an early bird. I go for coins that actually add something new and useful to the table, like Ethereum, like Steem. Things that aren't just a cryptocurrency, but make use of the blockchain for something that adds value behind the coin so to speak.

And the thing is - without these early transactions, bitcoin never would've gone anywhere. People have to buy and sell at low prices for a while to facilitate the massive growth.

Yeah well I pretty much shot myself with Bitcoin back in the old days. About ETH, I'm holding a couple around. I though DASH was going to be the big player but ETH eventually caught up and surpassed it.

I kind of agree with @heymattsokol about early transactions and such, but still, lack of sight not having even kept a few BTC here and there. When I have some new coin and sell them, I ussually sell all but two or three which I keep.

OK. I am locked and loaded on the ETH space ship. I am looking forward to Huobi traders finally able to buy it in China. Clearly people anticipating this as well as the BAT ICO is fueling the recent rise, but official ETH trading on Huobi, as I understand it, won't start for another 66 minutes exactly. Can anyone please tell me what the hell is OMNI and why the 200% rise. I want to get in, but I am clueless to this crypto. Sorry if it's off topic, but I would hate for it to shoot up 1000% today and I just sit and watch, when maybe it's a legit alt. Great post @kingscrown, following you and upvoting.

The BAT ICO sold out in under one minute and raised over $50 million. That's a crazy fast sellout.

Huobi is set to start trading Ethereum on Wednesday.

In .Y opinion it had to happen sooner or later.

Ether is my largest crypto holding, love it going forward. I am trying to play this paradigm from all angles, now even crypto stocks are emerging.
Here is a play to consider, I think this Bitcoin related stock will be significantly higher, it already is since I penned this quick report as a Bitcoin stock speculation. Would sincerely love to hear your input. I tried to warn people of the risks, while at the same time point out the potential as these cryptos keep exploding higher, as there really are very few 'crypto stocks' out there, this may prove a unique opportunity.
