Opportunities sometimes just pass by, for one reason or another. In the VERY early days, I was strongly encouraged to mine Bitcoin... this was in the days when you could still do so with a good gaming computer. I just didn't feel like dropping $2,000 on a computer to do something I had a feeling might well turn out to be a "passing phase." Had I chosen a different path, I might have mined 50 BTC... but who knows?

Oh well... I try to stay focused on what I DO have and what I CAN do, with what is in front of me, now.
