P.S. I'm a Comp Sci and Maths geek and understand Bitcoin and was aware of it back in 2008 or so (it first appeared in 2007).
I deeply regret not sticking even £5 in it back in 2009 when my daughter was born (I really did consider doing this at the time) as I'd be a multi-millionaire right now.
I looked at it and dismissed it as something that was unlikely to come to anything. Even for a simple £5 side bet. Honestly, for the price of a London pint. FFS.
(The other problem with this is that I know some people that did stick in £5 in 2009 but they cashed in for £100 a few years later, instead of HODLing and having those millions now. The tricky thing is knowing when something is reaching its peak. Similarly I held on to some previous company shares too long and ended up getting a fraction of what I could have got if I sold at the right time. C'est la vie.)
