If you trust that the general trend would continue (year to year price increase despite fluctuations) then what are you waiting for?

Most likely they are waiting for a miracle and that somehow many bitcoins appear on their wallet, I know it sounds ridiculous but very few people want to go through the trouble of accumulating bitcoin over the years since it takes a lot of effort to do so, first you need to earn fiat, then you need to reduce your spending to save some of it and then you need to buy bitcoin and if that was not enough now you need to keep holding it for years despite the price fluctuations.

When you come to understand all of this it is easy to get why so many people prefer to keep complaining than to do something about it, complaining is many times easier than it is to try to increase the amount of bitcoin we are holding.

I agree, that's the most ridiculous reason one would not buy. Grin

I'd like to think that those people really trust bitcoin and would like to have a large amount but can't due to financial reasons and are hoping it crashes hard so they can buy more than they can afford now.

In February the price of bitcoin was still very affordable since it was below 4000 and at that time many refused to buy bitcoin because its price has been decreasing for more than a year, people are always going to try to find an excuse to not buy bitcoin, they do not want to go through the risk of losing money while holding their coins and while I understand their fears since there is a possibility of losing money we know that the longer you hold your coins the greater the chances of making profits.

This is why I agree with those that recommend to buy bitcoin whenever you have some fiat in hand, because even if you were to buy bitcoin at an expensive price if you hold long enough your profits are almost assured.

Know what? I joined this forum back in 2012. And back then, the exchange rate was somewhere between $5 and $10 per coin. A lot of people used to complain that a few months back, the prices used to be around $0.10 per coin and Bitcoin has become too expensive. I purchased my coins at that time, and despite all those complaints, it still gave me almost 1,000x returns (100,000%).

And by mid-2013, the prices increased to $260 per coin. Then the guys were complaining that the prices used to be in single digits in 2012. And imagine what happened when the prices shot up to $1260 per coin by December 2013.

Then for a while things were relatively calm. And it went on till 2017, when Bitcoin suddenly spiked to $20,000 per coin. And after that the OP posted this thread.... Grin

This picture is reminiscent of sadness and regret.
If you didn't sell it then, its value is now 9,100 $. And you had a 1400% profit but we can't bring that memory back and we will never see it again because it will only give us the regretful and sad memories.
We may have the opportunity to be wealthy today if we do not sell our bitcoins, but we do not know enough in those days and we need money for our daily needs so maybe it is not time for us to get rich. But now that we know it we are not going to waste this chance to buy more bitcoin because someday this event will happen again and it will make us happy.

Always give sadness moment when we remember with bitcoin price last five years, many people do not believe how bitcoin price today can increase more than 100% high, I got about ten bitcoin receive from marketing business global investing but I sold all with very lower price, maybe I will be rich person today if keep holding bitcoin and sell with higher price now.

Today is happening what back in 2015 people could only dream about. Keep accumulating whenever you can, even if it's just $10-$50 per week/month. Dollar cost averaging is a great way to buy into Bitcoin as non technical person.

Today we look at $600 thinking it's low, but the same will happen to current levels when we're 5 or so years away from now. It will suck thinking back about how much you could have had by now if you bought the current dip.

I have been thinking selling off some shit coins in portfolio to start accumulating bitcoin now because we are still going to out leave now and talk about the times of now just as five years ago from now. I still remember early 2017 that bitcoin was nearly close to $1,000.

even though there was a terrible crash, I don't think they would have the courage to buy it in large quantities, many were afraid to buy when it crashed. and under these conditions, bitcoin does not increase in price. their fear seemed to lack confidence in the development of bitcoin later

For $651~ you could of got yourself a shiny whole bitcoin on coinbase plus their $6.66 fee.
I wouldnt of mind paying this fee on top regardless.
Even if they were asking 10% of the purchase amount at the time which is probably more by now. Wink

Maybe when you open the history of bitcoin withdrawal maybe you have make big mistake where you sell your bitcoin with lower price, why not hold bitcoin for five years later and now how higher price of bitcoin, I got 5 bitcoin in my wallet but I sell it with lower price and now I am very disappointed because if hold and sell my bitcoin today I think I have earn much profit.

I remember those years when the bitcoin is not that popular enough or have a huge value, I once own a 2 bitcoin from the past years and I sell it to another person into a peer to peer or what we called meet up, we exchange bitcoin and money in front of us. I can't believe that bitcoin will grow this huge maybe if I just kept my bitcoin I am already a millionaire right now. But I am happy for the person we're I sell my bitcoin, I thought he have already an idea that bitcoin will grow this much. But I am happy right now and contented on what I am earning here in the crypto.

It is good to hear that you are making profits from crypto currencies. Indeed, if you had those two bitcoin, you would have been a millionaire now but then again, you can grab bitcoins once more. Though they are no more available at the same rates as years ago but if we look at the future price, it will be far more than what it is now. It is amazing how a person can become millionaire with little efforts.

This is the most amazing feature of bitcoin that it has potential of making you rich in short time. It just demands one thing from you and that is patience nothing else. There is no way you can be in loss with bitcoin. I have never come across a single instance where bitcoin has put someone in trouble but there are thousands of examples where people became rich because of it.

Bitcoin can do a lot. Even with a small support, it has been able to touch high targets like 20k. Anyone who desires to become rich and a millionaire in future, he should invest in this digital currency. Moreover, future belongs to bitcoin. With every passing day, it is becoming more famous and one day, the whole world will recognize its importance. Till then, grab as much bitcoin as possible.

regret always comes at the end I heard of bitcoin since 2016 when it cost only $ 400. and I missed this opportunity because at that time I had lost because I was fooled by MMM investment. so that makes me no longer believe in investments that come from the internet. but I was very surprised when in 2017 bitcoin reached $ 20k. I am very sorry for missing a good opportunity. and now i have entered into bitcoin and i will hodl until bitcoin bull again. I will be patient waiting.

That's the problem since Bitcoin was been used by most ponzi business before and the impressions of people got engaged with scams and illegal
activities. Lucky to those who able to go deeper and not to lose hope after being scammed and continue to find those good ways to recover and
succeed with this investment currency. After some years they received the rewards that they can never imagine. If you are one of those who bought bitcoin for only $400 and hold till last quarter of 2017. For sure you are enjoying all the luxury especially if you bought more.

Not bad i was there too , it's $399 per coin Grin

Gained more than 15000% since then. Worth to take the risk that time i was selling computer parts ... collect them all and got me 6 bitcoin in total , HODLING till few years later i realized i can exchange it to a well livable house and 1 BMW to drive around , good memories.

Still believe at the current position, we can still gaining another 15000% growth just makes sure you guys get in the train and try to not missed the opportunity for the second time, the market still bull for me as I have coins since it was worth less than $400.

Wow, amazing this happened to your life, hope I had the chance to earn Bitcoin at that time too, sad that I haven't met Bitcoin at its early stage. But, moving on, still happy that I have known Bitcoin and has been part of my life, with this, I earned a living that I even can afford to buy things that my kids wanted, unlike when the time that I don't know Bitcoin yet.

It's all the "one that got away" moment I suppose. And yet people would still not buy as much as they can afford and then next year complain again that they should have bought last year, blah blah.

If you trust that the general trend would continue (year to year price increase despite fluctuations) then what are you waiting for?

I can not imagine how happy, if I could buy bitcoin in large quantities 5 years ago, maybe now I can be very happy. I never thought bitcoin could reach more than 10 times in 2017 compared to 5 years ago. maybe luck was not in me because at that time I was afraid to save a lot of bitcoin. no one knows for sure, what will happen in the next 5 years. but I'm still optimistic that bitcoin will make me happy in the future. 5 years ago can be a memory for all of us, that bitcoin can make someone happy now.

You are not late if you have started collecting bitcoin right now because it is continuously increasing in value and we all know that this time in pump, it will set some new record. I am sure that in the coming days like in next 5 years, bitcoin will become more expensive because of limited supply and unlimited customers.

Unfortunately, I only started knowing about bitcoin around the year 2017 when its price were around $4,000-$5,000 per coin. I remember participating in campaign signatures where 0.004 BTC was worth around 4$ (and that's per week!). I never imagined it crossing the boundaries and reaching even $19,000 at the bull run of the last quarter of 2015.

People are still expecting that bitcoin will reach an all-time high in the future. Due to its continuous decreasing supply, expect its price to significantly increase overtime.

the past was really fun, in fact, I also sold a lot of bitcoin that I got before the pump that happened in 2017. remembering that makes me quite disappointed until now.
but, we need to look at the present situation, most likely there will be things that make the price of bitcoin rise again higher than the current price. if many are sorry for not being able to use bitcoin at the time, I think they can still use it for now.

confidence like you have that investors need for the development of bitcoin cryptocurrency in particular and if previously you get extraordinary profits it is because of the patience and confidence of investors in investing and I am also sure that the development is very rapid later and will benefit of course
