Should Have Bought – Hindsight to see what you should have bought (opens in new tab)

"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.

Tools like this just add to the bubble. Pretty much all "ICOs" are just pump and dump. Very few people actually know what they are getting in to.

Exactly the type of FOMO and greed that's driving up prices now.

It's a Coinbase commercial. Good work.

I think the only thing this shows is that there's no bad moment to get in :P

These are the kinds of tools who's design is such that I can't tell if they're evil or brilliant. On one hand, I know it's a manipulation of "could have, should have" -- the fear of missing out or having missed out -- and much like a visual illusion you know it's a completely fake form of regret. At the same time, no matter how much you stare at it, even knowing it's completely fake, you can't make it go away.

Made something similar for visualizing a dollar-cost averaging strategy: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Uic759wn21aJo6COMtxg... (see 2nd sheet)

This is kind of amusing; they should add more currencies and maybe other types of assets. Although, as others have mentioned, the kind of thinking this encourages isn't healthy to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Very few important developments are driven by a fear of missing out.
