I'm always missing the boat. I heard about BTC before it was really worth anything and didn't get in on it, then when it was $100 I thought I had missed the boat on any returns. Now at $305 I'm still convinced I've missed the boat again. Just wait, it'll be like $1000 in a year and the moment I buy any it'll crash.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

Let me know when you buy it. If you can crash it, I'd like to buy some when you do. :)
