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 go out and bust my ass every day working. I save and invest a percentage of my earnings. When I retire I will be well off. That gives me a great feeling of accomplishment and increases my catalog of knowledge-based skills and experience that increases my confidence levels as well. Stop being depressed and get mad at it, dig deep, bootstrap yourself, stick your nose to the grindstone and go earn and invest wisely, and maybe someday you will be that millionaire. In other words, anger is more useful than depair.

True, im also trying to retire as soon as possible, but the thing is, all these pre 2011 investors are now retired for life. It's pretty devastating knowing it could have been us too, I understand OP's frustration.

The question "What if I knew bitcoin way back 2009" and "what if I got in early?" seems to be recurring in my mind. But nah, there are far more better ways to be a millionaire, too. It's just that the earliest adopters caught that luck that would have been in me when I get in that early.
