Wanted to put in $7k, at $7, so 1,000 coins. But I didn't want to send a copy of my passport to some shady (Magic the Gathering) exchange in Japan. And it would take 3+ weeks before I could get my coins. What an idiot I was.

The reason I didn’t was because back then that was like half iirc of all btc and I was suspicious.

Horrible thing to say, but at least I feel a bit better now! Too bad I didn't hear about Bitcoin in 2010. I hadn't heard about it until like 2012.
I mined and threw away ~400 btc around 2010-2011 :(( ... twice
