If anyone should have become an overnight millionaire it should have been me. I've been involved in virtual economies for many years now (mmorpg gold exchanges) and if anyone should have had the foresight to become an early adopter of bitcoin it should have been me but instead I was wasting my time fucking around with virtual gold. I wake up every morning feeling depressed.
I feel your pain OP. Same boat. I was aware of Bitcoin way before the price explosion and missed the boat. Now I barely have more than 1.
It was our lifetime posibility to become overnight millonaires and we were so close.
We can still hope that in 10 years 1 BTC will be worth something ridiculously high. If not, we can always jump off a bridge.
