Topic: BTC is exceeding expectations, what a time to be alive. (Read 897 times)

The word "plummet" means for something to fall, decline, drop but the context you tried to make is for the market to pump, that word isn't right here. However, what you say here is truth about people reaction to the market. You will see people begin to have fear of missing out on the market as soon as they see Bitcoin running and the people that doesn't feel happy about the market spread bad news just to discourage others and also make it drop by force.

One thing about Bitcoin force is this, if the market want to run, there is nothing stopping it from doing it unless there is a heavy storm of news that is going to kill that hype and such news must be something the market hasn't experience before because right now, the market doesn't really fear anything from the main stream media, Bitcoin is standing on business now unlike back the where people do chicken out because of small news.

We never know what will happen in the future so we could only prepares by having more Bitcoin. Those who sell their Bitcoin in a cheap price still regret it because they never imagine if the price can surge to the high price. If they know, they will hodl their Bitcoin for a long term and only sell it when the price is at ATH. If they can learned from their experienced, they will not do the same mistake and will choose to invest in Bitcoin with their allocation money. They will try to have a strong hand to hodl Bitcoin until the time to sell Bitcoin comes.

Yup. History repeats itself all over again. Panicked noobs sell their BTC, while the smart money buys it all at a huge discount. It's all part of the normal cycle of the crypto market. The bullish market is just getting started. So I'd suggest you refrain from buying more BTC until things settle. Unless you want to make short-term gains by selling as soon as prices go higher. But you could risk losing everything if done wrong. Waiting it out, would be your best bet to play it safe. The bearish market usually takes place 2 years before the next halving. My guess is that prices will decline between 2026 - 2027. A perfect time to accumulate more Bitcoin. Who knows how long will it take before $1m per BTC materializes?



Predictions are predictions. But I'm certain the next halving will bring higher gains than ever. $1m is right around the corner. Inflation, hype, and rising geopolitical uncertainty will lead us there faster than you could ever imagine. Better be prepared with some BTC before this happens.

And this is the second highest % of a jump this year with more than 37%, second only to the month of February with 43%. However, it is said that we have gain $26,000,

So it's very obvious by now that we are indeed exceeding expectations and we might see the biggest bull run in history in 2025. With that, those who have witnessed previous bull run is very happy on what we are seeing. And the good news is that $100k is just the beginning for us.

It will be different when people have been here for a long time because they are used to seeing bitcoin move in a more positive direction even though sometimes we also see corrections that make people who are new to it a little scared. Calmness will give them an idea so that they are not trapped in fear because based on existing experience we can conclude how speculative bitcoin's journey in the market is but bitcoin always gets a moment of improvement towards a better direction.

Panic based on fear must be minimized and it is necessary to be more indifferent because it is a natural thing, but we need to be calmer so that we can avoid unnecessary investment losses because if someone does not panic, I am sure that the investment made in Bitcoin will never give them a loss.

Demand and recognition is really there on which we've seen that it did able to break up new all time highs with this year alone on which $100k is supposed to be that on next year, on which this really proves out that Bitcoins price movement is really that truly unpredictable and to those who had been able to make up some positions on low prices in a short time are really that making up some money or profits now. Exceeding expectations? Its always be but surprisingly there are still those who are really that skeptical into the things that they've been dealing into and thats why on the moment or time that the price had shoot up or goes to moon then they will really be starting out on having those regrets and there's nothing we can do on missing out those opportunities that we do make it slip.

For those who had been here earlier then pretty sure that they've seen about these movements and behaviors in comparing into those things in the past and into the present on which Bitcoin hadnt been able to disappoint us in speaking about potential. Recognition is always on the move and even into those times that market is really that on great decline and made out people or investors having those kind of skepticism when it comes into their crypto investment then it will really be something that cant be avoided sometimes but for those who do able to trust up then they are the ones who do benefited.

Still quite sideways and maybe we will continue to see prices like this until the end of this year. Some analysis that I read in the media, most people see the price of bitcoin touching $100k in the fifth month of next year and this still leaves plenty of time for people who intend to buy it. Although if you look at the current price it is still high enough to enter the market for some small investors like us, but if you miss a moment like now, it is feared that bitcoin will touch its highest price next year and we lose momentum to generate maximum profit. There is always an opportunity to buy even if only using the DCA pattern as a step and if small investors like us do not take advantage of the opportunities that exist, we will be left behind in collecting bitcoin.

I guess surge of demands waiting for the possible good action next year would be the provable cause on why bitcoin would able to reach $100k next month. That figures is near to be reached by bitcoin and we see how huge the impact brought by Trump winning the Presidency so for sure his presence and future implementation that can help bitcoin to grow more would rise the interest of people to acquire more bitcoin. That's why I still look forward about bitcoin possibly to stay at 6 digits figures next year.

So let see what will happen next month and also next year for bitcoin since for sure we provably could see a good price forecast for it.

There's still a month left so I think it's within reach. I wonder what will be the cause or reason for bitcoin price to reach 100k. Who knows, maybe an event that will help the price reach it much sooner. There's also a chance that the election could cause it's price to increase more again since there will be a lot of people who are now free to buy or sell bitcoin without worry because of the SEC before. As of now, I only noticed the price of bitcoin increasing and decreasing around 90k and haven't seen it go to 80k which in my opinion is a good sign.

Big or small we still call it a correction because from the highest price drop we can see how bitcoin can strengthen again. Now the moment is good enough to see the price movement and maybe we just need to be patient if we don't want to enter the market in accumulating and we hope that the correction process that occurs will not touch $90k and below so that it will be much stronger to bounce the price of $100k next year.

We will wait for another moment in the upcoming increase period because previously we saw the price jump process that was inseparable from the effects of the US presidential election. To approach that price is also not that far away so that it is possible to happen at the end of the year because if you look at it, the moment is indeed very close. I want to see how the journey is after breaking through $100k, whether later we will see bitcoin price below $80k or will it continue to bounce around $90k if there is another correction.

Inexperienced people in Bitcoin market have high uncertainty with their price targets and they also mainly focus on a single market cycle, and they are unsure what will happen in a bear market and a next market cycle, so when they missed ATH of a cycle, stucked in a bear market, after several months of bear market, they will panic sell when the market is attacked by massive fud.

There are many price predictions by many models.
https://charts.bitbo.io/price-prediction/

All models are wrong, but you can find something with these used models for these price predictions. These models seem to lead to $1M in a next market cycle in 2028 but I would like to be more realistic and that time with me is sometime in 2032 or 2036 year.

It feels great. Especially someone like me who's been in the crypto scene for a decade. Newbies will think BTC will keep rising at a non-stop rate. As soon as prices start going down, you will see them "whining" and panic selling like crazy. It's part of the normal cycle of the crypto market. Nothing to worry about. Once the market turns bearish again, it will be the perfect time to buy some more BTC. Rinse and repeat.

If this keeps up, Bitcoin might goes as high as $1m someday. Patience is key towards achieving great results with your investment. Not many people have "strong hands" or the capability of holding for a long time. Those who manage to do it, will ultimately reap the rewards. For the naysayers or haters, let me tell you Bitcoin ain't going anywhere soon. It's already a "force to reckon with". So deal with it.

It's life brother rather than regretting if they could have planned things for the future after realizing their mistake it could have been already covering their losses and regret brings disappointment so take everything in a positive way that what happened has already happened now plan for the future and take action in where you are now. If you will continue to blame your decision even now when it will go to the $1M which is for sure according to my optimistic approach for the next 10 years you will get nothing so its never too late just put in some effort and kick your ass for work it's fine.

No one knew at that point its gonna be that big, I'm sure 99% of pre-era investors did sold most of their holdings years ago but if they are still in I  market this shows that they are hustlers and maybe they are still millionaires.

That's the beauty of bitcoin, while everyone doubts us, we just do what we know best and keep accumulate and eventually we benefit and profit. There were so many people who were attacking bitcoin and saying that this time it's done, and then it turned out to be such a great period in 2024. First we got the ETF at the start of the year, even before halving happened we broke over all time high price, which dropped a lot for a while because we saw what it could do, but then we ended up doing much better with time as well.

We need to focus on how to get better with more investment at that time and then it increased with all the Trump and election stuff as well. It's a great period and I am very much in love with bitcoin all over again.

When the people discover that the market plummets, they begin to exhibit fear of missing out and from there you begin to discover about some as well who were anti bitcoin to begin to spread false news about bitcoin, all because they are not investing and they will also like to use that bearish trend to discourage others from investing, so that they all can be on the same zone as losers, but those that knows what they want and whom they are, they don't give much attention to social media buzz about bitcoin and focus on what they are doing.

Not seen it hit 25k for a very very long time , which tells me this was a typo...probably 55k was the price it might have dipped too and hopefully we don't see it ever again!!

And I totally agree with you, Bitcoin has exceeded many of our expectations if we are to look back how far this digital asset has come from...many will have regrets for selling and not holding...but hey sh*t happens , it's not too late to buy now and wait for 200k  it all starts from somewhere.

If someone understands about short-term Bitcoin trading, it may be difficult for them to buy Bitcoin in a bull market. But if Bitcoin is considered a asset and held for the long term, then it would not be unreasonable to buy from this level. Everyone who understands Bitcoin well and has faith in it tries to hold Bitcoin for a long time. The level at which Bitcoin has risen today will increase its value further in the future. Therefore, those who refrain from collecting Bitcoin will ultimately be the ones who will suffer. Because Bitcoin may not be at the same level tomorrow as it is today. The opportunity to buy today may not be stay in the same position tomorrow.

Honestly it's definitely a good period to be alive, yes most of the veterans here we knew that it would go up, and this wasn't really a shock to us, we knew it would go up and we made some profit from it and that's a good feeling. However, that doesn't mean that we just don't count this as a win, even when we know what's going to happen, if it makes us profit then we should be happy about it and I am quite happy with what we have so far, it's a great feeling and should be something to be proud of.

I believe that bitcoin going to 100k levels, and even more very soon, is something I can see from months away, but I am also happy that I am right. Sometimes we have expectations but those expectations do not happen and we are sad because of it, so we should learn to be happy about it when our expectations are met with correct increases and we make money from them. I am happy that it's up now, I knew it would be and what I am happy about is being right and not being wrong.

I am pretty sure 25k$ in the market price of Bitcoin was years ago, Never seen Bitcoin at that market price this year.

I was feeling a little different it was surely kind of boring just Dollar Cost averaging and holding Bitcoin, it really felt like so fast and I think I could still hold it for a lot longer, probably I was already immune to fear in the market since I was holding Bitcoin on a very low market price, that just means that I could easily sell my Bitcoin at any time at this point, and still going to earn a huge amount of investment.

Still, profit is profit, I still not planning to sell this year but probably going to sell everything at the end of 2025 whatever the market price of Bitcoin is, I mean selling right now is going to be a huge profit to be already, but I just want to see how is it going in the coming years, is it going to 1million dollars in just a few years or what.

Right, happy are those who have remained patient throughout the bear season and stay unbothered with sudden price pump and dump of bitcoin. The current price is already a big surprise for them. But we all know bitcoin won’t stop here. It will continue to grow and skyrocket and continue to exceed our expectations. And for that, accumulating more bitcoin means increasing your future profits, which only patient and resilient people can guarantee doing it.

No one predicted bitcoin would be like this when it first appeared and to me that is normal for people who have sold bitcoin at a fairly cheap price. What needs to be considered is how to go next and people need to see the opportunity in bitcoin to achieve financial freedom because if we fail to take advantage of it we will be left behind. Patience is indeed the key to success and it really happens in bitcoin and we even often hear that patience will provide a way to achieve success.

The correction you mean is not right because in the last eight months bitcoin has never reached $25,000 and I think there is a mistake in looking at the history of bitcoin because the correction should never have touched the price you mentioned above in the last eight months.

It depends on whose expectation it is. The expectation of the forum members here was exactly that Bitcoin would go to these prices. 100.000 USD is a target we have been waiting for a long time. It came back from there with a few hundred dollars, but it will cross that level soon. Giving a Drake reference may reflect negatively in crypto space though, but I look at it from the Future side.
Those who sold will definitely regret it, but those who expected it and predicted it and didn't buy more Bitcoin may regret it more. Missing the opportunity in front of your eyes makes you unhappy.

There might be a reason for it that we don't know but we will know if he will tell us what it is. If there's an even that is great then it will be possible that the price of bitcoin will reach 100k and not 99k that lacks 100 before it becomes 100k. I think it's possible since bitcoin price even reach 99.9k not too long ago and that's why other people say that 100k is in our front doorstep even though 100k hasn't happened yet. Maybe exchanges having low supply in bitcoin could push it to 100k price within this year.

Most of the people who bought at $10 levels had already sold their holdings. It takes a lot of patience to keep holding over the years when price has been increasing so fast.

But there must be some people who had firm belief on the future of bitcoin and blockchain and they held their holdings till now. One example is winklevoss brothers. They held for quite long time and as a result they were in the top richest list in the world as well. That is how patience rewards you.

 

That makes them feel sad because they can not enjoy the moment to make a big profit. That is why in Bitcoin investment, we have must have patience and wait for some years. No pain no gain, that is what we must remember in investing in Bitcoin. And we still have time to accumulates Bitcoin although the price now is at more than $90k. We are lucky that the bull run is not yet comes so we can use the time to buy Bitcoin and prepare for the coming. Many people doing the same by accumulating more Bitcoin using the money they can afford because they want to make a big profit in the next bull run.

No need to regret, we may regret we don't buy BTC now rather than in 10 years - so let's be wiser and do it so that others would be in such a situation.
And we would be in the best position during the next cycles.
 

With some drops in price, sure - but the sentiment is here, you are right.
And we only feel what should because of the halving and other factors just now.
Truly, a great cycle, just like the others.

Though I understand your point, but Bitcoin has never fallen to $25K this year. In fact if you check the yearly timeframe, you will see that its price has been bullish since the beginning of the year.

Regret hurts when it is continuously contemplated by those who have bought Bitcoin when the price was still less than $10, but if it is continuously forgotten and they have time to buy again before the price increase continues to occur, of course they will never regret it as long as they can still be patient until now. Now the price is indeed very high, but that does not mean that Bitcoin will not increase again because the potential for price increases in Bitcoin is still very much because it is always influenced by the level of interest and buyers every day.

I would call it just a little drop in price, because a correction is usually something bigger, and we didn't see that yet like we did in 2021-ish.
Afterward - the $100k will be only a start for BTC and the ATH it's going to reach. 

It feels so strange that he is not able to see the bitcoin price clearly because historically we can find anywhere to see the price issue for now. Bitcoin almost touched $100k but strong pressure made him fail and now we are again seeing a small correction happening in the market and maybe the momentum to touch that price again can happen before the year changes. This will be something different because from what we saw before that bitcoin could approach that price only because of some events and maybe in the future there will be something else that will give bitcoin a push to touch $100k.

Acquiring decision is really situational since we cannot assume what's strategy has been used by other people. If for us we can do it anytime since nothing will happen with our investment especially if we are using DCA method.

But we cannot force other to use their strategy just like what you have said who use lumpsum method since buying at the dip is the ideal option to execute their orders.

If they are just doubting and doesn't apply anything then I guess this is the start of their wrong decision done. If they are also a trader it will be to bad for them to buy at the top since there's huge chance for their money to melt especially if there's sudden correction happen. So everything may vary depends on what people do.

That is true since most of the time the price of btc is at 40-60k at that time when the price didn't reach 90k. As of this month, the price did not reached 100k yet but many people already consider it as 100k when the price reached 99k which is a 100 less from getting to 100k but as you have said, 100k is now at our doorstep waiting for it to happen at any moment. It really is a sight to behold when I clearly remember bitcoin price ranges at 2k to 3k before and now it is more than that.

And when it was at $16k people said BTC is going to be zero and it won't get any investments again but it did not just pumped from that point to $99k but it got its' first ETFs approved in a power country USA by officials and now a crypto friendly president is talking good about it. I wonder how a currency can be manipulated in way that no one sees it and I think that's not exactly what it's happening here or maybe but in the long run it's price went ATL and then ATH and then ATL and cycle repeats it self.

I think the cycle will still be repeating itself, and all we can do is, use risk management to safe us if it won't repeat and if it repeat proper plan should be in place already to make a profit. Overall, BTC is really exceeding all of our expectations and maybe in the next cycle it will do wonder. I am hearing some Chinese companies are also investing in BTC means maybe in future China will open its doors to adopting BTC as well.

Hmmmm!
Your disagreement or advice comes with conditions please. If anyone doesn't follow the conditions, they will surely cry when they buy the peak.

• You only buy a perceived peak when you are ready to wait for two circles.
• You only bull during the bull run if you don't want to use the money for your next month rent
• Else you are a trader who is seeing from shoulder to head.
• Also the DCA method can be ok for it, because you will be buying randomly over a long period of time.

So, for newcomers, it is fine if they buy the bottom. But knowing the bottom is where the problem lies.

You are correct that the best time to buy Bitcoin is when you can afford it. If you are adopting the DCA stractegy to accumulate, it is fine to buy at any given price. But if your option is Lump sum pattern, you will agree that the ideal time to buy is what the price have dropped significantly.

My response is targeted at people who see Bitcoin as a fast means to make money. There are many people whose intention is to buy Bitcoin now and sell it next year. My advice to them is that they wouldn't get the best deal now, maybe if they had invested two years ago, it would have been more profitable.

Yes the market is uncertain but based on historical pattern, there will always be a bull and bear season. Based on my assumption, it is possible that Bitcoin might drop below $70k within this coming cycle.

I totally disagree with you on that bolded part because it is Bitcoin we are talking about there is no time ideal than investing when you have your money readily available, there is nothing absolutely wrong buying even at the peak price, it is pretty much ideal to invest during the bull season and bear season, one thing we should always understand is that Bitcoin is best appreciated over a long term hence there is no point timing the market conditions before investing, secondly the market can be very uncertain which can make you miss good buying opportunities while waiting for an ideal time to invest.

Bitcoin is now the headline in most financial newspapers because its price has increased significantly. But the majority of the people who are rushing to buy Bitcoin now, are just driven by the desire to make a quick profit. But they fail to understand that the ideal time to invest is not during the bull season. But if some of them are willing to learn, they might end up gaining from the sector if they are patient enough.

Before now there ave been predictions that Bitcoin was going to get to this point and only a few experienced bitcoiners forsaw it could go this far, because they have seen Bitcoin done multiples in years before now but for the newbies, it was probably a thing they couldn't just believe because somehow it sounded crazy how $25k was later going to be $90k within a Year but seeing this possibility now, I believe they will learn and some other time they will know how better to handle it.

The price increase level is almost touching $ 100k then I am sure we will see bitcoin reach that price before entering the new year. There are many people who are starting to pay attention to bitcoin right now and after the quite maximum increase in the last few weeks, people are getting more interested in learning about bitcoin. This reaction is natural because for people who are outside of crypto, they must think something very strange that bitcoin can be like this because they never predicted bitcoin would be like this. I am also sure that there will be a lot of adoption after this because people start looking for a level of comfort in making investments based on independence and that is all in bitcoin.

From $99k down to $91k. Still, better than most days of the year when it was less than $60k and even even landed half of it at $49k at some point in the past months.

That's pretty normal because non coiners are only looking for the price. They'd think that it is something that they have to get in while it is increasing. But, in our terms, they are doing a mistake to get in when the prices are in the peakest form. Anyway, many are always like that and we get to see people that have been interested when it's on the trend and when the rise was already done. But when it's on the lowest form, lowest prices, they don't think that they'll ever get in at that time so that's the mistake that they don't realize that they are doing even until now, many does it.

Reaching the 100k level already give something to ponder on for noncrypto users up until now. If you are outside of this market, for sure, you will be curious as well why this market is soaring high. And you will start digging what's in it for you to join the craze. I guess, that's the normal reaction of any user.

I believe that thinking about past times and regretting actions taken, is a mistake. Especially if you think of them as wrong from the present point of view.
Nobody (at least that I know of) is able to read the future... and even less in the long term, so if they made the decisions weighing the pros and cons of their decision, I understand that at that time it was a good decision.

With bitcoin, patience is the best virtue. If you can’t hold your bitcoin longer because you are in rush of your profits, you will never get satisfaction from your bitcoin investment. Long term hodling is the key, even how long it may take, the realization that bitcoin will never stop from reaching all time highs, then it’s best idea to just buy and hold, and only sell when the price is right  and impressive.

People are really happy with what they are currently getting from bitcoin thay for both traders and those that are holding and everyone have actually benefited from this period and the expectation of people did not reach this even when their are predictions were 100k then and it was just a prediction and even when bitcoin was hitting 80k and 90k it caused more excitement in the market and I love the fact that no one actually saw this coming and that was what makes it more interesting.

And bitcoin hitting 100k was when the issue of ETF and halving but still did not hit 100k and it was during the election that the signs started showing signals for increase and even I did not believe that bitcoin will hit 100k soon but look at what happened and this year should be one of the best bitcoin year because the imagination came true and their are still speculation thay bitcoin might actually hit 150k and don't be surprised that bitcoin might mark somthing close to that. Because no matter how the speculation might be when ot comes to bitcoin it's never wrong.

Many people are calling expensive numbers for Bitcoin even before. So no mate. What Bitcoin is showing lately has not exceeded on most people's expectations yet. Maybe it is only if Bitcoin gains a hundred k or more in its value in just a month. Those who sold their Bitcoins cheaply and then knowing it rose eventually can obviously feel a regret and disappointment but the emotions were seem unimaginable for those who are early Bitcoiners who does the same mistake. Maybe you are only new here OP, for you to say 'surreal'.

A heavy dump in the price can indeed be a pain for others but I think they can still move on eventually and start adding more coins on their bags. This is also the first action that some are going to do. They don't feel pain in short but I won't say they are happy because a dip is still a dip and makes everyone else portfolio to be negative. Maybe there are only exceptions if you are among those OG's where you bought your Bitcoins at under a dollar rate. Long-term investing requires patience but this isn't only the way to make money. For the others, maybe patience is not prioritized but it can now be skills, knowledge, and guts, (only to name a few).

For you to be successful you need patience because without patience you will be getting quick things and also be losing it as quick as you are getting it. Without patience you can never make money from Bitcoin. People that sold will be regretting and that is how life reward those that do not believe in what they invest into because if they had believe in Bitcoin, they would not have sold but continue to hodl. There are so people that did not have any choice but to sell since they got into financial problems that needed urgent money but still they could have been capable of buying again before Bitcoin became this costly for them to afford. They could have also been capable of buying some Satoshi since they did not have money to buy one Bitcoin again but they did not.

They will feel nothing. As at the time when bitcoin was around $10 or even less, bitcoin was still very volatile and at its early stage. Many of those early investors took the decisions they made because of the information and market sentiment available as at that time. They sold their coins and took the profits available then to sort out personal needs. Many of us here would have done same if we had some bitcoins then. Some of those early sellers might have reinvested, so there is no difference between those who sold their bitcoins when it was around $10 but reinvested and us who just started investing now.

Bitcoin is one asset that is worth waiting for, but if at any point you sell your bitcoins and took the profits available, there is no point living in regrets when the price appreciates further. Bitcoin has obviously exceeded our expectations countless times, no matter the price at which an investor buys bitcoin, he will still get profits if he's patient.

I am sure a lot of people are ready to sell at $100k, it is a price that people have been talking about for a long time now, so there might be a correction when it is at $100k. However, that's not a problem, if we are to be honest, only a few of us believed that BTC will reach $100k this year, but it is happening already, so correction or not, the price at the peak of this cycle next year is really going to exceed the expectations of most bitcoiners.

Thinking about what has happened will not give any results and even I sold some of the bitcoins I had when it was $42k and if that had been remembered then I might be a little less enthusiastic now. In my historical observation I have not seen bitcoin ever touch $25k for this year and maybe you are a little wrong with that number. Forget what has happened and focus on collecting bitcoins again because that will increase our interest. Bitcoin has shown a significant increase in the last few weeks and this has made people more interested in learning about bitcoin.

Yes, it is true, we have a popular proverb in my country that says "Patience is the key to success and relief", this seems completely true, all those who have been patient for this long are now reaping the sweet fruits of their success, while those who rushed and sold early feel regret and remorse.

All those who held their Bitcoin during the hard times are now feeling happy, but this is not the end, those who want more should continue holding Bitcoin and accumulating more and more because Bitcoin will not stop and the coming cycles will be greater and greater.

BTC dropping to below 25k was actually great, had the chance to start my DCA at a pretty low price point . Though I guess everyone feels the same. I mean imagine that pump from 70k - 80k - 90k, straight through without really seeing any major dumps. Feels great really. My expectations were this part of the market were only to happen next year, not this year. Blowed my expectations out I must say.

Kind of weird comparing it to people who sold at $10 though. That's like a decade ago. Pretty sure they were already regretting when it went up to 10k or even 1k.

Bitcoin has been in an upward trajectory for a long time and we knew that this day will eventually come, so I guess that those that sold their coins for a price that cheap have had years to prepare themselves for this moment and just let go of their regrets long time ago, because if this is not really the case and they are still lamenting something that happened so many years ago, then it is inevitable they will keep feeling this way when bitcoin keeps getting more valuable and it is likely they may never become happy ever again, as it is not like bitcoin is going to stop growing in the near future.

Some would have let go of it when it was even nothing to compare with and the value was just zero dollar, but now here is where it is, but for some of us, it is never too late because we can also make use of the remaining opportunities left in doing something while in preparation for the future, because from here, we may one day discover bitcoin to be 1m dollars, but the kind of decision we made today will determine the future expectations we may have in it.

The lowest price that we do able to touch is on maximum of $15k for this cycle on which it did really make out that kind of expectations that it might be going even more. I do remember on how
the community is really that having that impressions that it is really that going down even more and how people are really that afraid on that time that Bitcoins price would really be going
down into that particular moment. Yes, its true that we've been seeing $100k is already that fat stretched off on which we didnt been able to expect that it will really be able to reach out on
this particular level on which it is really that good to see and also Bitcoin never fails to impress us when it comes into this kind of situation. For those people who do held up their position
and able to accumulate while its still cheap then they are the ones who are reaping profits now, for those who do panic sold and able not to buyback then there would really be that sense of regret
on the current things that they've been dealing on with. Sometimes you would really be needing up to at least take up some risks if you do really that wanted to have that kind of potential
when it comes on making money.

Couldn't have said it better myself. People in the early days multiplied their investment with something that was completely unknown to the current world; they were thrilled to see it surpass $10, no one could have ever imagined what was coming. They were happy that they could sell something that they likely got for free.

I learned about Bitcoin somewhere between 2013 and 2014, I was intrigued seeing its tremendous possibilities that it has now exceeded. Do I regret not taking action? There's no direct answer, we're all human and we all eventually say what we could have done differently, but in reality, it doesn't matter.

Imagine for a moment, that the frontrunner for President of the United States is openly bragging about owning bitcoin and promising to make BTC a US treasury reserve asset. Then imagine that this super pro-bitcoin candidate actually wins the election by a landslide, then goes on to pack his Cabinet with prominent pro-bitcoin candidates. Imagine that the majority of lawmakers in the US Congress are also very pro-bitcoin.

If someone wanted to predict such a crazy scenario just a year ago, they would have been detained by the authorities and committed to an asylum. Well I guess we don't have to imagine such crazy thoughts anymore because it has become the reality!

It's pretty wild when the real world turns out to be even better than anyone could dare to dream.

Whenever you feel that the people who sold their Bitcoin in the early days were crazy or foolish, try to put yourself in their position and then rethink. How in the world would they have any idea about the future of Bitcoin and where it would reach one day? Even if it was you having thousands of bitcoins in your wallet while having no value as such, but then you see an opportunity to sell each Bitcoin for a few cents, you would be more than happy to take the deal because you are at least getting something for a bunch of coins that you have mined using your PC.

So, as it has been mentioned multiple times in this thread already, those who sold their bitcoins for $10 each must have been extremely happy to get that much value for their coins, just like how we are happy to see Bitcoin at $99k while sometime in the distant future we will be amongst the people who sold their Bitcoin too early but if you ask us, we would say it's a great deal for us at the present.

Maybe we should overlook Ops misconception about the bitcoin price based on the mentioned which I believe he hadn't been updated about the historical surroundings of bitcoin value.
Therefore I'll like to blow his mind up that someone out there in the past has bought 2 pizzas with an exchange of 10,000 bitcoins in the month of May 2010 which marked the first ever transaction. Then total worth the 10,000 was $41.
I guess that should stumble him more likely to even appreciate those who held their bitcoin up to the value of $10,000 Worth per bitcoin. 😁😁😁 Which broke to the legendary event of remarking Bitcoin Pizza Day.

I only needed the Op to understand that everyone has a peak of time to sell their bitcoin happily as much as it's accountable that they've made profit out of it.
So it does not really matter of who holds longer to the heel of the value of bitcoin.
Even those whod hold to the next Ath maybe at $150,000 would criticized by others on how they sold too soon and if they've waited, they'd had made more profits.
There's absolutely nothing like more profits when you've a time frame of your investment in-between a short and long term goal.
All together the goal is to make profits.

I can't believe this myself, it's all like a dream to me with the rapid increase on bitcoin price to the point of getting to 99k at this time of the circle. Isn't it amazing, this is the first bull run I am experiencing, and I must say that Bitcoin is like what we call in my country "blood money" because it has the potential of multiplying your portfolio more than your expectations. I will advice everyone to try their best to hodli your bitcoin for long so that you don't regret in future when bitcoin price will be at 500k, just like those who sold for $10.

one thing about looking back at how far bitcoin has come and even looking farther to the bitcoin pizza story and considering how profitable the dude would have been if he had not exchanged his bitcoin for some piece of pizza or how he should be regretting by now if he is alive and sees bitcoin getting to $99k, there is just nothing anyone can possibly do about the past.

what if in the next three years bitcoin will gets to a million dollar? for now, that might look very huge to talk of, but you can't tell until that time eventually comes and you are faced with the reality that you missed out on an opportunity because you didn't know what the future holds. some people will take out their profit at $100k while others will keep holding, even after taking out your profit and even though we know that it's not the best of decision, whatever decision you have made in the past has gone and what's now left for you should be to face what lies ahead of you in the future and nothing more.

Right now it seems like there is a little liquidation or retracement in the market, but it still can't be considered a real correction, I really feel that it will just have to push to reach 100k$
and then it will be recess time until 110k$.

That kind of price scenario is what we see if it will really be the beginning of a severe correction in bitcoin that will really happen and then alts season will also happen
in the market here in the crypto space.

It's hard to compare the past and the present with many different conditions and such comparison has many bias factors.

You can outsmart many people by invest your money in bitcoin, hold it, and wait for late comers who surely will come because Bitcoin adoption has been increasing with a magical exponential rate ever.

You can be late comers compare to many people who joined Bitcoin market through either investment or mining in previous years, but there are many people who are later than you. If you can not hold your bitcoin, your debut time in this market means nothing for your investment career and your personal prosperity. You joined earlier than them, but make sure you convert it to massive profit in future.

That was a long time ago, and they’ve probably moved on by now. It’s similar to those who mined gold in its early days, imagine how they’d feel now seeing how expensive gold has become. But that’s just how life works; no one can predict the future with certainty.

Also, not many smart people today bought Bitcoin when it was just $10. Most jumped on board later when Bitcoin was already pricey because they could see its potential with the growing adoption. Instead of dwelling on the past, why no focus on what’s ahead as Bitcoin is likely to hit $100k soon, so why not aim for the next milestone, like $300k, and position yourself to profit from it?

I think one needs to moderate everything in life including emotions. Dont get ecstatic because of the rise in price of bitcoin. It will come down back and then you can buy some coins for future. Right now it is selling time in case you have had bitcoin and need to cash out.

Surreal or not, we have to keep our feet on the ground and for that we need to understand that once 100k is reached, there will be massive selling pressure. So be prepared for that and keep cash at hands to buy bitcoin.

The problem with some people who already know about bitcoin before is they only got interest to comeback when bitcoin gets a crazy pump like this. Then regret not to buy some amount before then hold it up to this date.

If they just do some nice action and buy then hodl their bitcoins before then we cannot say that word about its good to be alive again and feel in pain upon not taking anything since $25k in value just like what you have said.

This is how long term holders win since they have patience to wait for long and certain event like this and now they are the one gaining a lot from bitcoin and those who regret say those word that they regret for not buying bitcoin before.

Profitable price today can become loss price in future and expensive price today can become profitable price in future like your example. In 2017, $9000 was considered as overvalued but then Bitcoin soared to nearly $20,000 before a bear market in 2019 and 2020.

These indicators are in my watch regularly. With Realized Price indicator, a bottom of next bear market can be around $40,000 but it can be higher if Bitcoin continues to soar more in this bull run.

Someone said the best time to buy Bitcoin is when you can afford it. This advice is becoming very real to me. Don't wait till the price gets to your expected bottom before you buy because it might never fall to that point.

The reason why someone is willing to buy Bitcoin even at $99k is because he believes that the price will exceed the current price. Bitcoin has the potential to get to any price, that's why we should not be in a rush to sell.

Well.. first of all, there were already expectations about reaching 100k in the previous cycle, some 3 years ago. So imho your title is incorrect for now (it has huge chances to be correct though, and rather soon).
Then, those selling clearly had different expectation, as already mentioned by others.
The price from 8 months ago is, again, not the best indicator, plus, after the price going parabolic the difference from past prices is .. yeah, huge.
And I will end with the fact that while you are thinking to those selling at under 10k, you are forgetting those selling at under 1k or even 1$ (!). I also mean that you should always check the full scale.

You can't blame them, when you could produce 50/25 BTC effortlessly and sell it for $15 a BTC, it was a great deal, you could easily make hundreds of dollars a day or a week and a $10/$500 BTC deal was profitable.

if you think that Bitcoin is expensive and $99k is high, I remember when $9000 was overpriced and everyone was hoping to sell at those levels and there may come a time when $99k will be too cheap.

Those who sold their Bitcoin when it was $10 never expected or imagined that it would be near $100K someday. It took time and will take a couple of days to reach the biggest price point in its history. Going low and again bouncing back with new ATH makes Bitcoin so interesting and attractive. We have seen lows this year but I doubt it went to $25K. The lowest it went this year was $42K which was on the 1st of January this year.

As of this post - check the timestamp - Bitcoin's all-time high is a little over $99,300.

Keeping diamond hands in place => getting the best out of the situation currently. We are not done with the rally at all.
Just stay strong, brothers. And don't mourn what's already gone.

They can be regretful about their past sales or not, but past things are unchangeable so to live happily, they have to move on and forget about it as best as possible. If they live with their past mistakes, it won't help them to get any extra money, but cost them a lot in life quality and mental heath as well.

With Bitcoin, if you can hold, you can be rich. A longer you hold it through more market cycles, the more profit you will get. Let me emphasize, you must hold through market cycles to get profit, because if you hold in like 1 or 2 years and unfortunately these years start in bullish to bearish, you will get loss, not profit.

HODL camp, Bitcoin profitable days can give many new Bitcoin investors stronger hands to hold, not only in this cycle but I hope they will do it in more future cycles.

Correction though, our lowest low in the bear market is $15,500. So I guess that is already a good gauge for us to say where we at at the lowest point and then where we are right now.

I'm not sure where you got that $25k, in the last 8 months, because if we look at it, around March, we already had a pre-halving ATH of around $69k. So just a piece of advise, before you post, just get the facts straight.

And for the expectations? Even before the start of the bull run, people are already predicting that Bitcoin will be around $100k-$150k so I guess we are still on target.

Check your stats well Bitcoin has never touched or fallen to $25K this Year.
The last time we were in the position of early to mid 2023
Except you meant 18 months.
The cornz favour the patient and strong hands.
Now $100K that felt quite far is already at our Doorstep.

I can imagine how those that sold their BTC when it was less than $10 feels right now. BTC getting to $99k feels so surreal. In the last 8 months, it was as low as $25k and it felt like a pain, but look at it now. There's no true wealth that can happen without patience.
