At times, we either have missed or misused a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity.
I could learn coding instead of doing a regular course 4 years ago. I had the opportunity but I thought I wouldn't be able to afford it. That one mistake and with a regular course I'm jobless. Also, I didn't like reading economics, literature and History in the regular course. I Miss I could afford a course in Computers by taking education loan but I just didn't try. I'm learning now. But will miss hoe I wasted 4 years.

Someone told me about Bitcoin in 2022 and I ignored him.

I have muted that territory

You talking about ~alter_native?
Initially I liked it but the cost of 8 Sata to post is ridiculous!
reply
I do not look at the cost of posting on a territory but about who and what is posted there. I understand that some territory owners are trying to attract more posters with low fee for posts, but that will attract also spammers and shitcoiners and will always lower the quality of posts.
So I simply mute those territories. I do not waste my time with them.

So you also missed #671978?

I already have 19000 items posted (I think I am on top SN forever). Do you want me to blow away the whole SN posting on all territories? I tried to slow down a bit my posting on SN and let others to take the lead...
reply
yes and many others. meaningless for me

Missed this one. Thank you for sharing.

Not a problem! Still it's a question worth asing again and again. Also, not trying to teach anything but you've put it in the ~bitcoin territory. It would be better in ~ideasfromthehedge Imo.

the big opportunity i missed was bitcoin on the bull run to 20k because i thought 'it was too late'
i messed around with shitcoins, then when the market crashed, i didn't even think about bitcoin or crypto until btc hit 60k and then i was like, wait, i thought that was dead.
since last crash i dca every month and do my best, but with the little amount of money i make, but i can only stack so hard.
I've made peace with it, but knowing that i would probably be a full coiner if i had simply not walked away does sting

Same happened to me but luckily am not far from the trend

Leaving university to emigrate, for a while I had conflicts with that, I was upset with myself for having left university and going to another country, but then over time I downplayed it, it's something that doesn't bother me, things are the way they are and we can't change them, does it hurt me to be in another country far from my family? Yes. Did I have a choice? No. Does it bother me not to finish my university degree? No.
I have also realized that I have missed other types of opportunities or that I have made decisions that have led me to different paths than what I had planned for my life. I no longer torture myself with that, now I am only focused on what I want and what I must do to achieve it. While I am writing this, I just remembered that I have put off the habit of exercising for a long time. Let's say that it is the only thing that bothers me sometimes and I forget to do it or I am lazy, but I do not want to regret in 15 years for not having started exercising.

I won't miss again as my bio states

Supplementing loads of testosterone and human-growth-hormones at a young and tender age, to grow up with an absolutely massive dingelinge-dong.
reply
I have always been one to grab opportunities by the horns, so actually no regrets

I could say adopting Bitcoin but will not say that. Bitcoin came to me naturally, in the right moment of my life and for sure was not missed.
My "almost" missed lifetime opportunity was when I moved from big city into a mountain rural area. I will never regret doing it almost 15 years ago. I wish I was doing it earlier but I was trapped in the big city life... blinded by comfort and modernity and bullshit.
If I were missed this move to rural mountains, I would regret it all my life.
