It's your fault you didn't buy real estate to live in while it was cheap back when you were 3 years old.

My bad for not also investing in Bitcoin while being potty trained. I've wasted my potential.

I used to beat myself up a little for dismissing bitcoin early on and therefore missing a chance at being rich. But then I realized that it was like beating myself up for not winning the lottery just because I know now what last week's winning numbers were. I would have had to dedicate time, effort and money I couldn't easily spare into chasing an irrational long shot.

Plus, odds are I would have sold it all the minute it was worth a little, which would be much worse. Or that someone would steal it all, as happened to a lot of people early on.

Or you could be me, and invest when it was gaining a lot of traction. Make a SUPER SECURE password, and write it down where nobody will ever find it. The forget where it is and lose it all and know theres more money than you've ever had before that should be yours and just isnt.
