I was 100% sure that no one would ever buy bottled water unless they were in a third world country or something.

Not sure if it is still in BFI, but at the start of the bitcoin thread, someone quotes the current price as 17cents in a discussion/post right at the birth of BC.

Lots of replies the gist of which is dont burn your money buying any.

I was right when I acquired some at that point in time, was not right when I sold the majority of them for a big profit that could have been much MUCH bigger.

I was wrong to not have any idea of what bitcoin actually was until January of this year. And probably wrong to not investigate if Litecoin under $60 needs to be snapped up.

iPod. I believed in MP3's, but Creative Zen was a much better product. It had a longer battery life, FM radio, better interface, plus it worked easier with Napster. Why would anyone buy an iPod over this?

Seinfeld. I hated it at first but now it is probably my favorite sitcom of all time.

Back in 2000, I thought the Patriots were completely insane giving up a 1st round pick for Belichick.

I remember way back in the early 90's, some young guy was playing for a local softball team...pretty smart looking guy, and he had some bottled water in the car, as he was working for a company into that....one of the early ones, by definition. It was the dumbest thing I had ever seen.

I totally misread that by miles and miles.

i made a few trades thinking it would make me feel like a man. after initial success during the rush last fall, the market moved in the opposite direction of every decision i made, so i tweaked my systems like i was nima jooyandeh and continued losing.

In the late 90's I thought Jeff Bezos was an idiot and Amazon would go bankrupt.

Thought that Ryan Leaf was stronger and more athletic than Peyton Manning, thus wold stand up to the NFL beating better and be a more viable option at QB.

Just about as far wrong as one can possibly get. Like, USS-Enterprise-thrown-across-the-universe wrong.

Just glad that was in pre Fantasy Football days.

Most definitely was not in the pre-fantasy football days. Been playing since the 80s.

Hated leggings worn as pants. Thought that it is something only for really fat women who need some stretch. Everyone does it now days including me sometimes.

I have tons of these relating to football. I thought Carson Wentz and Cam Newton were surefire busts.

As a Steelers fan I was really pissed when they passed on Chad Pennington to draft Plaxico Burress. A decade later I couldn't believe they blew a 2nd rounder on a running back (LeVeon Bell).

On the flip side, one thing that I will always be right about is that Jerry Seinfeld sucks. I will give him credit for having the hit show, but the guy is not funny, and in interactions and interviews I have seen with him through the years, he is awkward at best (see the Larry King clip on Youtube). He sucks....never watched the show, but feel that I have seen every episode, as I know most of the big stories and one liners that have withstood the test of time, so to speak. The guy rubs me the wrong way, and I don't think he has a good rep with other comics (if you dig below the surface and look under the hood). Whereas, a guy like Jay Leno is despised by many in the business, but his comedy is respected and Leno is considered one of the best stand ups.

I totally agree with you on Seinfeld
The show is good bit overrated
He is not funny in interviews and his stand up is awful

As far as being dead wrong-ive never been as wrong about a baseball player as I was when I thought Adrian Beltre was massively overrated and woukd flame out of the league

People that think they can change things the earth has been doing for billions of years.

The ego of some people.

Wait, aren't people like you normally saying that the earth has been around for only 10'000 years ?
