Well... i have been dormant for a while, only recently came back on. I do not regret converting my BTC into Fiat, especially since it gave me the freedom to not be in Debt! In hindsight, i can say that i made full use of the bitcoin i had, it actually all boils down to what makes you happy i guess! In my case, i used it for paying off my mortgage much faster than the 20 year plan i had (paid off in 2 years!). Paid off a new car, bike and went on umpteen holidays which is something my wife and I both love, invested in my hobby of diecast collection, which in itself is worth a fair bit right now!
Do i regret not having all 21 BTC, sure i do, i would have retired without a second thought if i had that kind of purchasing power but then i am looking at a retirement at 40 opposed to 50 which was my earlier plan and it is all because of Bitcoin!
Forgive me for sounding a bit harsh, micky123, but I sense a teeny-weeny tiny little itsy-bitsy degree of bitterness and saltiness in your post. I can bet that you would die to turn back time and skip that car, bike and holiday spendings. It's OK, you had fun, I understand that, but was it really worth it?
What I would like from
my BTC, would be to firstly and foremostly solve the problems that
really matter to me. Life-changing issues like freeing myself from wage-slavery (nor really a wage-slave, but not free either), taking care of my retirement, guaranteeing a minimum income for life, providing me with a decent standard of living.
After doing all of the math and all of the science of all of the above, then I'd spend some of my leftover stash for a car, holidays, or whatever else I fancy. But, I wouldn't even think of doing even a tiny fraction of the equivalent of
buying a purse for 17 BTC, when I only have 17 BTC...
