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 was mildly interested in cryptography during my highschool studies. But it seemed to difficult to me, because I was trying to understand it form an example which did not fit me. So I gave up. Hadn't I given up, I'd have a few thousand BTC today for sure. But fuck what never happened.
