Ask HN: How to cope over missed Opportunities?

I have bought some ETH for $8 each. Most of them has been pwned because I have not transact those into cold wallet. Dealing with cold wallet may be also not easy especially if you do not have enough backups. So, you have saved your earnings and still use to think you have done something wrong?

You have not grok what you've been read if you are talking only about stocks but not about algos. Also you are not going to participate in cryptocurrency economics because you are not talking about it as well. Believe me, you are totally right about not investing in the things you have not understood.

I can give you an example similar to your one. It was when MMA fight Khabib vs Conor was happening. I knew that Khabib will win and the market used to have an opposite coefficients. I have a friend who has bet $1k for Khabib and who has received $1.6k - but these are not my money because I am totally noob in bets and MMA.

Certainly during your lifetime you also thought about stuff that turned out to be wrong, but you don't kick yourself about those.

Even if you actually get some big market event right, you are bound to lose everything when you get something wrong eventually.

When you bet one time, there is some chance of winning or losing. If you bet continuously on something when the odds are against you, the probability of losing converges to 100%.

This sounds like hindsight bias. Of course, looking back at these things, they are missed no-brainer opportunities.

But back then, there was probably a lot more uncertainty. Ethereum could have easily become a $0 like 99% of other coins.
