Maybe I'm old but I like short and snappy videos... all the same, I took the time to reach the part where the title makes sense. Don't worry there. You're still a student and you've already gained something else. Invaluable lessons at such a young age. Makes me envious really!

50 BTC for a game item eh? I've had similar stories only at the end of 2016, when people offered me "shitcoins" because they couldn't or didn't want to pay in Bitcoin. I did small jobs as a freelancer then. I accepted some. Some turned out to be quite valuable later on.

My very slight regret is only that I didn't get into it earlier, even though I read up and was capable. We all had our regrets. I might one day regret having to sell 2.5 BTC for 2500 dollars (I should be regretting it now but heh). Good luck with your live streaming!

You said it yourself in the video. Your 14y/o self would have sold the Bitcoins before now. I have my own stories of where I lost big, as well. I'm talking about potential ~~billions~~ tens or hundreds of millions. Most recently, looking at the prices of XRB (RaiBlocks), I kick myself in the ass. I had over 50,000 XRB sitting in my wallet, and I ended up selling them for Bitcoin (when it was around $2,000 per) because I didn't want to spend fiat cash to get Bitcoin. If I would have been less lazy and just went with my usual method of buying Bitcoin, I would have easily held on to the XRB, which would have been worth over $1,500,000 USD today.

ETH. same story. DASH. same story. SIA. same story.

I should teach myself how to hodl better lol.

But thanks for sharing your story, and I know it's hard to deal with instances like this, but hey, that's life. And keep remembering that you more-than-likely would have sold it long before this current point.

Keep on keepin on, and great video! I like how you ended it on a positive note

Hey you, I dumped out over 100 XRB during spring cleaning last year. Deliberately. I felt it was a reminder of my faucet hunting early days and wanted to spend less time doing low quality stuff. Sure, it's only $3k today, but that's a lot of money where I come from. Be good, Joe!

I appreciate the enthusiasm and kind words! I'm glad I'm not the only one with this kind of story haha
