Adding my voice to the chorus of "so much this." I get so frustrated explaining steemit to the same people that took forever to finally admit I was right about Bitcoin. I'm not claiming to live a life free of regret. I mined over 3,000 Bitcoins in 2011 and 2012. I sold most of them for between ten and fifteen bucks each. In order to learn from a mistake, you must first acknowledge you made one. My lesson was always get in early on disruptive tech, and always stay in for the long haul.
