What risk was there with mining Bitcoins when difficulty was 1?
I knew of the opportunity. It would have required a lot of time and effort, and I had mine in better use. I figured out, I could buy them for cheap if they ever gain traction. So here I am. Only now was bitcoin big enough to be worth of my time. The really rich guys are coming soon

Point is, I am not complaining that someone wasted their time mining. If they profit off of it, good. If not, hope they had fun. I still think I am better off NOT mining even though I had the chance.
