Yeah dont worry mate. Just try invest when the market bottoms out in the next year or 6 months. You cant look back. I started with 3000 btc I bought for 3k USD back in 2012. All the hype never really happened and I was not into trading back then nor did btc have real charts to look at. I then managed to get around 600 btc saved in mtgox - and yep - it all got taken by MK the ultra D. The whole industry is so scammy. Then compliance now blocks all you funds if kept on an exchange. I dont ever hold I always sell at good prices and wait to get back in. I was such a believer back then but now if I'm honest I think the NSA's sha256 being used in btc is a big giveaway. CDBC would never be implementable unless crypto/btc came first. I think crypto is a plan to get everyone working digital and then the central banks can enforce CDBC on all exchanges. Compliance and KYC of crypto is ten times worse than a strict bank. Its easier to pay 30k cash in a bank then it is to deal with the BS Kraken and other exchanges ask for these days. So I am also in my own way fed up of bitcoin. Wish I had just put away 3000 btc and left it for ten years but who knew? Every up swing you get the hype boys like Keiser the CIA man manipulating demand and the price - calling 500k - it then dumps.
Hope you enjoyed my rant. Best of luck. Now you know to get in cheap and get out when prices are crazy high.

You seem to be deluded goldrushed2. If what you are saying you surely have some interesting facts, but it seems like you have a decently BIG ass ego, too.. .and you also seem to have some weird views of the world.. sure the world is screwed up in a lot of ways, but we should attempt to be figuring out ways to deal with matters and to provide more options to ourselves rather than just moaning about various negative aspects.. yeah.. I agree some of the negative aspects are quite irritating, frustrating and unfair many times too..
By the way having a strong ego can be dangerous for investing whether BTC or otherwise, and also dangerous when attempting to share ideas about these kinds of topics with others in a forum like this... If you are actually interested in sharing.. any more of your matters as they might relate to this thread.
Let me just say that you had recommended getting in and out of bitcoin, but also recognize that you fucked up by getting out? That approach does not seem to have worked out too well for you. unless there is some angle that you are not saying..
Also, if you really had 600 coins on Gox at the time of their implosion and if you did not sell your claims to the various scalpers (or whatever those guys would be called), your 600 coins would likely be a shitton of value right now, even if the GOX claims are likely ONLY anticipated to pay out around 15% or so? I cannot recall exactly what the latest anticipated payout.. but 600 coins in 2014 would have been around $360k ($600 per coin) on the fair market value right before the GOX implosion down to around $200 (which still would have been $120k) or whatever stupid price it was stuck at (I seem to recall $190 for some reason) when they announced they were closing. and then never to reopen.. .but even if you were able to get 15% of 600 BTC, that would be 90 BTC (which would be nearly $2 million at today's BTC prices). I doubt that you still have claims to 600 BTC on MTGOX, since even if what you had said was true, from my little bit of information about you from your post here, you seem to be disinclined to HODLing.. and probably you flunked the marshmallow test, right?
Even if I sound confrontational goldrushed2, I do not mean to be confrontational except to really attempt to highlight some of the factual dissonance contained within your post. which to some extent causes me to wonder if you have even reflected upon the contents of the factual representations of your own post?
