20/20 hindsight vision, we all have it, at least you kept your keys, and that which was not mined was not really lost. I figure in three years I will be kicking myself for not learning how to buy and withdraw any crypto coins, but I do not think it will be the end of the world if I do. Surviving the frustration is sometimes not an easy thing. Every day I want to quit steem block chain, especially when I get 8 completely meaningless down votes on a post, but I eventually shake it off and keep on posting, granted at a much slower rate sometimes, but I still try to get those three or four a week out.
