I never should've used my BTC to buy weed off the darknet. Goddamn now I wish I had kept those stupid bitcoins. Also, I should've never left a portion of my holdings onto an exchange. I ended up losing them from an exit-scam. I never should've made any friends from these crypto-currency groups on social media. Most of them ended up becoming gambling addicts. Some of the most well-educated individuals I knew and the dumbest motherfuckers on the street became raging addicts looking for that sweet green gain. Some of them even ended up doxxing me for money to buy Waltoncoin and NEO when Chinese Altcoins were super hot. Most of these idiots were using their credit cards on coinbase to buy BTC and exchanged them for Shitcoins for "Speculation". Complete horseshit.

Sometimes, I wish I had held onto those non-crypto assets close to me and I should've spent more time working on projects instead of reading up the latest news and banking my paycheque on the latest fad on /biz/ or facebook. I would've had a much better chance putting my money into Index ETFs or even holding REITs. But now, I'm putting the remains of my last pay onto BTC and some silver coins off from Aunty and Uncle.

biggest regret, not continuing to work on an online business selling LED grow lights for weed growers after finding some success with it because ran out of money for Adwords. We put in $800 on ads and ran them for a week, after 6 months we had done $6k of sales... if only we had the guts to borrow money to keep ads running at the start but that was BEFORE we saw how the sales rolled in... if you do the math, that would have likely been a multiple 6 figure a year business for 2 pot smoking 19 year olds with massive potential to expand.
