I knew about Bitcoin back when Bitcoin faucets were a thing, and I don't really feel bad for not having bought like a hundred bitcoins then.

I still do regret the $50 I paid to crowdfund App.net, the Twitter competitor that was run by person with strong business sense, launched at a time when it was clear Twitter had no business plan and was killing its existing customer base and would be dead soon, and widely praised on HN. That was a much surer bet than this weirdo questionably-legal currency that only a bunch of nerds with heterodox view on finance were interested in.
