yep you had to kyc
but if were extremely good with words and had the foresight you couldve convinced your parents to buy btc for your birthdays

imagine being held back by age
>hur dur Earth had only passed an arbitrary number of times around the sun so I couldn't buy BTC
KYS

Actual conversation I had with my dad at 12-13 after a baseball game

“My friends at work were telling me about a project you might like, it’s called Bitcoin. It’s like computer money”

“That’s so cool, can we get some?”

>maybe, but they’re expensive. I don’t want to pay $300 for just one coin

It hurts.

>>29230670
This. OP is a fag and we don't feel sorry for you.

>extremely good with words

>I was 20

>I didn't stay involved with it

anons...

You would have sold early too fucker

>>29230670
Yeah lmao when I first learned to read I immediately read the bitcoin whitepaper and understood every nuance right away. I'm 15 now and own over 60K btc kek

>tfw remember the threads on /g/ when bitcoin was only a few bucks
>tfw was actually thinking about buying some at $20 but thought it was bullshit
>tfw finally FOMO'd in at around $100 but only bought 0.87 bitcoin, which I promptly traded for LTC
>tfw also remember when ETH was $2 and could have easily loaded up on at least 500-1000 of them but never did

In the end, I'm probably going to make it anyway.

Newfags failed to realized this.

>>29230411
Dumb fucking nigger

>>29230670
you're right, typical poor people mentality by OP, making excuses for everything instead of just going out and doing it

Yes I would have sold early but you bet id be alot better off than I am now. Face it we arent early adopters, we are the laggards

>>29230411
You should have been buying drugs on the internet at 7. Then you might have had some btc saved up.

>>29230717
You’re barely old enough to be here lmao

>>29230827
Dude, look at it from another angle. IMAGINE that tere are people who are still oblivious and will stay ignorant until further adoption. Whey will eat bugz and live in pods while you live a comfy life in a cellar of BTC Citadel™

>>29231210
>Yes I would have sold early but you bet id be alot better off than I am now
Why?

>im talking to children on this board

>>29230875
congrats fren you've almost made it, all you have to do now is convert to Monero

>>29230891
Don't feel bad anon, if you go on /g/ now they all still think that crypto's a ponzi scheme. They're fucking celebrating that nvidia's blocking crypto miners from using their equipment... just imagine how they'll react when the mass adoption stage finally hits.

>>29230411
aweh

>>29230411
I unironically knew about bitcoin when i was 12 but what the fuck are you supposed to do when you're 12

>>29230411
don't worry anon.
every year or 2, as many many many worthwhile things to invest in, the hard part is, finding them and doing it.
the rest is easy.

you will see thousands of 10x-100x in your lifetime.

>>29231400
If I would have bought 100 btc at $1 and sold at $300 I would have twice as much money as its taken me and my partner three years to save. We are both early 20s

>definitely heard about bitcoin at some point during that debacle
>even knew about silk road, installed TOR and browsed it for fun
>even $100 bought then would be a million today
I hunted through every email address i've ever owned looking for any time I may have bought bitcoin back then. found nothing. suicide fuel

First heard about Bitcoin at 300. Thought it was a meme. Could have brought 15-20 coins in 2017 and though it would never bounce back to 20000 again.

Now I’m suck accumulating shitcoins hoping for a mission to Pluto.

>>29231531
nobody held that long

>>29231735
>First heard about Bitcoin at 300. Thought it was a meme.
how is that even possible? I thought everyone heard about by 2012

>>29231752
Thats quite the assumption

>>29230411
I was too brain damaged to get into this shit, I used to spend hours researching bitcoin back in 2013 and how you should buy it, I didn't even register it, just went back to porn and never gave it another thought, sometimes not buying something is literally inevitable and you can't blame yourself for being stupid, you just couldn't know

>>29230891
I was here when ETH was shilled hardcore around early 2016 and every other thread was either btc vs eth or people posting lambos. It took me several weeks to figure out the fastest and non-sketchiest way to buy eth and I ended up just using local bitcoins to buy it in person. The price jumped from $2 to $6 in that time unfortunately which meant me being a broke college student and sketched out about crypto, I only invested $40. I ended up buying just under 6 ETH. If I had the amount of money I have now, back then, I would have bought over 100

I was 24 when BitCoin started being talked about. I was in a relationship during that time & most of my money was used on my GF. We broke up & now I'm 36, paying her child support, & living in a studio apartment working retail after my job moved overseas

>>29230411
There were like 5 friends of my dad who said "hey man you heard about bitcoin? It's a really cheap coin that I heard will have a great future" my dad was like "dont invest into those imaginary shit coins" and they didn't, my dad is kind of a troll lol, it's as if he wants everyone around him to suffer because he always does shit like this

i remember talking with a friend in class about buying doge coin the week it launched back then. had we only done it, we planned on putting in 20€ and just letting it simmer but were to dumb and couldnt be bothered to figure everything out.

>>29231531
I don't think a lot of people would ever have that kind of monk-like patience to hodl that kind of money for so long

>using btc to buy acid and roids on the dark web, only have “dust” left over each purchase

No one to blame but myself

>>29232210
You could have just mined it. I did.

>>29231901
no its not, nobody who bought bticoin for a dollar has held until now.

OG 30 y/o boomer from 2012 here. Portfolio over $20 million now (mostly PMs/miners/crypto). The fact that most zoomers missed out on crypto is absolutely the best part of this whole thing.

When the rent/mortgage deferrals finally can't be extended any further and the entire global financial system collapses again and all the zoomers are forced into labor at Amazon distribution centers, the world will be on the path to a much better future. Kids these days don't know what a hard day's work means. They will learn

>>29230411
Zoomers mostly missed the boat on this
It was millennials and gen x who got rich off these scam coins

>>29230411
Well yeah, I could have bought the bottom of the Great Depression but it was still 70 years until I was born. Its still true though. I had 70 years.

>>29232402
Kek absolutely based

Guys can I make it with .2 BTC?

>>29230411
Does anyone else feel bad for zoomers? There's no way any of these wild money making schemes are going to exist or be allowed to roam free by the time these guys grow old enough to think about investing. Imagine being born just one generation after the crypto craze came and went, knowing that if you were born just a decade ago you could've made hundreds of thousands of dollars from doing absolutely nothing. It sounds hellish.

I was 15, friend in programming class told me about bitcoin early in 2012-2013

Told me it was the next big thing, I didn’t think it was and never cared to use my computer for mining it

I’m never making that mistake again, I’m shooting for an early retirement

Perhaps. I cant say for certain what course of action I would have took in this hypothetical. However given my personality type its unlikely I would have cashed out every single btc I owned.
Im just salty that I will never have the chance to make crypto millions or even own become a wholecoiner like some lucky autists of yesteryear. The best someone like me can hope for is (if I get lucky) 6 figures. The chances of that happening is decreasing every second ad infinitum.
For us poor zoomerfags the best we can do is fuck about in the market to keep our head above water and hopefully spot the next "revolutionary" technology.

Hate to sound blackpilled, im not. But thats how I see it. This is over a decade old tech, I missed the boat, or rather I was too young for a boarding pass.

>>29231499
This. I was on /g/ trying to figure out how to set up to mine. I think I eventually got it but got bored after running it for like 30 minutes

people were talking about mining bitcoin on /b/ back in 2009. i was fucking 15 years old and i'm a third worlder. i didn't even know you could pay for things online. and i doubt my windows 98 (or did i already have an XP by then) could handle any computing.

in 2010 on my birthday I gave one btc to everyone that posted his wallet on an old forum for tuned cars and electronic music. gave away 53 btc

Umm link is about 10 to 20 years out from the mass adoption that will make us all millionaires. Plenty of time to accumulate as much as possible.

Hmmmmm...

>>29230411
had free electricty in 2011 - 2013 thought about mining but was to poor/cautious to buy hardware

>>29234391
did you actually earn BTC somehow and had that moved to your parents account or did it only happen to be related to this topic we're on about and you might just be overstating its benefits? just wondering

>>29230717
Even if you’re dad bought like 3 so around 1000$, which would of been a lot of money on something your dad was unfamiliar with, he most likely would’ve sold at 20 or before it. It’s unlikely the money would’ve been life changing. Although he couldve really gotten into crypto and bought all the alt coins. Doubtful though. Wouldn’t stress over it.

I was mining 1000btc a month at 14.
No excuses anon.

I've already seen so many comments about BAEX. baex! Do you use it? The exchange offers NASDAQ, Uber, Amazon, Disney and other shares that can bring a good rewards. But firstly, I wanna know your mind

>>29230717

I'll bet $300 that this didn't happen.

>>29230411
When I was 13 I made a presentation and put a suit on and waited for.my dad to come.home to shill him BTC when it was 10 cents. All I wanted was him to put 1000$ into it. He said no.

>>29231405
Yeah, it sucks. I really hate kids.
