I missed Bitcoin because I didn't know enough to want to invest in it. Also everyone around then were skeptic about it. Piratically my friends told me you might loose all your money, there was no much emphasis on what I stood to gain and how it worked.
Plus I didn't have just enough funds then. But the moment I had the chance to learn what it was and I got my hands on just the right amount of funds I needed. I went all in.
