"Should have bought" is nowhere near as painful as "had but didn't see the point and lost the wallet."

We were one of the relatively early businesses to accept BTC as a payment option, and even though we only took a few hundred dollars worth of BTC in 2011, it boggles the mind what it would have been worth today.

On the other hand, finding ones old wallet is even more of a delight. I lost mine (luckily I kept the keys in a backup, but I forgot about it until now) somewhere around 2015, with about 20€. When I managed to recover it a few days back, I was happy to see that it was now nearly worth 130€!

And the best thing was that I didn't even spend a cent to buy the coins in the first place, but instead someone just gifted them to me on /r/Bitcoin when they were worth around 15€. One time it even fell down to 6€...
