First of all, OP is a drama queen.
Second, same as everybody else, he lacked the balls to actually do something "substantial" when it was required.
What if I tell you that you would get $1m in 3 years if you invest $8k right now?
Would you do it? No you wouldn't!
That's exactly the reason why you wouldn't invest $8k in BTC in 2012.
Basically, you still have the same problem right now as you've had 3 years ago.
If I invest 8k today the price of the coin has to hit about 28k for me to become a millionaire. I don't see that happening.
Buy 100 bitcoins and hodl until they're worth 10k a piece = profit. Besides, why are you so obsessed with this number of a millionaire? It's just a number. Would owning $999999.99 worth of bitcoins not be enough? Buy or earn as many coins as you can and hope for the best.
