Same here, although I became interested in cryptos a few weeks later than you did. If it's any consolation, many of those who knew about NXT back then chose not to invest despite having the opportunity to do so and a few people even called it an outright scam and warned others not to invest (which I guess was terrible advice in hindsight):



Also, even if I did become involved in cryptos while the NXT IPO was still open, I doubt I would have been able to buy bitcoins, set up a wallet, navigate to the thread, and follow BCNext's instructions to send a signed message via Blockchain.info in such a short timeframe anyway.
