Following the messages related to a topic about BTC purchases, I noticed that many users were hodlers and had never bought anything in BTC, but perhaps early adopters regret their past purchases? In the case of Laszlo Hanyecz (purchase of two pizzas for 10,000 btc in 2010), he said he had no regrets because it helped raise awareness of Bitcoin and promote its use as a currency.

What about you? Do you regret past purchases?

Yes, I do regret purchasing stuff with BTC in the past. Several years ago, I got scammed by two people and I've sent them around 130 USD worth of BTC, back when the BTC price was in the 4K-8K range. I don't want to get in detail about how I was scammed. After that, I don't use BTC to buy goods and services anymore. I only use BTC to buy fiat money(when I need the fiat money). Getting scammed made me appreciate reversible fiat transactions more. With digital fiat there's the possibility for you to ask for a refund, when you get scammed.
