"While having bought and held on to $100 in bitcoin since 2011 would have been profitable, you would have suffered a lot of stress throughout the process."
I doubt that if I spent $100 on Bitcoin I would have any stress because of it. I would have went into buying it as, well, $100 bet. If I win, I win, If I lose, oh well, tough crap.
I probably would have bought it and forgot about it honestly.
