I have made plenty of mistakes when it comes to Bitcoin.  Mistakes are part of life.  I have learned mostly through my mistakes.  If you are learning is it really a mistake?

The first time I took interest in Bitcoin(no pun intended) was around 2012.  I was using it buy things.  Goods and services traded for Bitcoin.  This may be thought of as a mistake considering the growth of its value these last few years.  When i first realized this myself I thought it was a grievous error in judgement.  After a half-minute of kicking myself I reminded myself that Bitcoin was meant to be used exactly in this way.  Its a currency not a piece of gold.

Maybe it is not so much about avoiding mistakes but learning from them.
