A lot of people should hear this advice about a great many things.  Made a bad investment?  Don't blame the company, the government, the exchange, or the economy.  Blame yourself for making a bad decision.  Too many people think they can do whatever dumb thing they want and if it doesn't go perfectly they can find someone to blame.  I mean, sure.  Sometimes you get lied to or bamboozled by a con artist, but far more often people don't think through their decisions and then blame others when things don't go as they assumed they would.
