Bought MDMA on the dark web that I've never received, at this time a bitcoin was like 400$

Bought a Instagram/twitter username back October 2017 that costed $30k. That was around 5.28 BTC.
Also gave my brother $10k in August 2017 for a car.
Do I regret it? I was young and wanted cool stuff. I never believed that Bitcoin would’ve ever entered to $100k in 2025. In fact, always thought it will never surpass $10k.

I can't really think of anything specific, but I wish I had saved more.
Luckily I did leave some wallets idle for years, so I did make some money, but I didn't mine when I should have, didn't buy more when I should have, and I did spend crypto in the early days. I was paid out in bitcoin or others for freelancing a few times back then.

That's a fun one.
Did they taste any good?
A well made edible (to me) has a slight hint of the bud's taste, but is more of an after-taste rather than the main taste.

I stopped with cannabis products in my teens though, luckily.

Ah, got it, and yeah the butter can go a long way.
I haven't had an edible in ages, I don't like how they make me feel.

The biggest food delivery app in my country accepts (or used to?) Bitcoin. As an 11-12 year old I used to buy like $50 worth of food almost every other day for me and my friends with money I made online, mostly multiple of those big ass family XL pizza's. We ordered so much food I not only fed my friends and family, but we'd always have tons of food laying around that nobody ate the next day, that amount was definitely unneeded. I don't understand how I was still on the brink of anorexia my entire youth lol.
BTC at the time was somewhere between $250-$400 at the time, I vividly remember the number $365.
Just did some quick calculations and with $365/BTC and ~$18/pizza, that'd be 0.05 BTC per pizza, or $6000. This times 2 or 3 because it never was just one. Damn.
I also lost hella on SatoshiMines but my Primedice wins made up for that so gg

I suppose for me it was all the gold and silver I bought with Bitcoin thinking I was diversifying. I thought I was cool stacking and converting my Magic Internet Money into physical precious metals that my family could see and hold. Had I kept the Bitcoin in cold storage it would be worth a couple million, instead I have $xx,xxx in precious metals. Is what it is. I knew BTC would be $100k and even $1m is coming, it just came faster than I anticipated.
Back then, I couldn't stop talking about Bitcoin and nobody would really understand. Funny part is all those people now think I'm super rich because of how hard I pushed them to buy Bitcoin but didn't hold enough for myself. The irony of it. Wife still rubs it in sometimes.

This is the type of post I love to read. We're all human, and yes, I think a lot of us would've assumed you had more. But that's okay. Honestly, this post of yours here is awesome to read. I like that you're willing to even share that
Nobody times it perfectly and diversifying provided you with the mental health & stability needed. What would the last 10 years look like if you had been constantly worried, and without diversifying? Some things can't be priced.

Spent $60 worth of Bitcoin in Nov 2012 for lifetime access to a keylogger. I wanted to get Habbo furniture.
No idea what that'd be worth today.

Honestly thats not that dumb imo you at least got a tangible investment from it
obviously it is worth way less but you still used bitcoin to buy something that will always go up in value.... so it could have been worse but i still imagine it hurts looking back on it
