Bitcoin Regrets: When Cheap Drinks Cost $470K

What this episode covers

In this episode of Bitcoin Regrets, Jake Carson and Lily Morgan dive into a story that hits home for many early Bitcoin adopters. Our listener shares a tale from the mid-2010s, when they spent a night at a local pub offering 2-for-1 beers in exchange for Bitcoin—back when $3 could buy a whole Bitcoin. Fast forward to today, and that night out translates to a jaw-dropping $470,000. We discuss the emotional rollercoaster of “could have, should have” moments in investing, and why it's essential to focus on the future rather than past missed opportunities. If you've ever felt a pang of regret over a financial decision, you’re not alone—join us as we explore how to move forward with financial peace of mind.
