I started back in high school. After saving up all my money for a while. I bought 3.5 for around $650. I was a a nervous wreck because I was worried that I wouldn't get the coins once I payed, I got them though. After that I got into mining(was still profitable for little guys) using my gtx 670. I wanted more hashing power so I bought those little usb miners and 2 usb hubs/2 fans. Had a few Gh, but It quickly became useless. I bought One of those block erupter boards, but sadly I never knew how to set up the wiring and voltage ect... I then just sat on my coins for awhile. Fast forward to 2016, I had some bills that I had to pay, and at the time I had no job. So I had sold 2.2 for around $1300. I now hate myself for selling them because I could have almost $10,000 in my savings instead of making $190 a week at my job. On the bright side I still have 1.7 and I made money off my initial investment, so I know I shouldn't be annoyed by it, but I still cant shake the feeling of selling those 2 at that price.
