Sometimes I want to kill myself. Its so unfortunate that I never heard about bitcoin back then. It's something I would of been all over because I always knew the central banking system is a complete scam. Its just unlucky I never heard it or came across it. I'm in deep financial trouble now and about to be homeless.

I don't mean to pile on in face of your financial woes. But you seem to be mired in self-defeatism.

You are not unfortunate for not learning of Bitcoin before now. You are instead fortunate for learning of Bitcoin before next year.

What you do with that knowledge is up to you. I know many who took a pass in 2010, in 2011, in 2012,... There's a lesson in there somewhere.

I think that any of us could either NOT know about something and then fail to prosper, and we can also learn about something and either not act upon it or to execute badly. Other scenarios would be either to profit modestly or to profit stupendously.

The more important point is considering any matter in terms of the present and NOT kicking ourselves for failing to act in the past, but devising a plan for the present based on what we have come to find out. Even though the past is not any kind of guarantee of future performance, the past provides us with a decent amount of information in order that we can create reasonable plans in the present.

Continued screw ups are likely to take place, with almost anyone, but there are definitely ways to profit stupendously by knowing about bitcoin, planning and acting upon created plans, including tweaking the plan along the way.
