Topic: Have you ever regretted selling your bitcoins ? - page 7. (Read 1658 times)

If you owned Bitcoin in 2017-2018 and still haven't sold it until the era of destruction ends or after the pandemic ends, you should also be happier because you can still own Bitcoin in a more successful era with the ATH moment in 2021. Because some people selling their Bitcoin during the crash era in 2018 also really regretted it when they saw Bitcoin experiencing ATH in 2021. So you should be quite happy if you didn't have time to sell your Bitcoin during the market crash era at that time because you could still get more profit. in the halving era in 2021.

I regret about not selling my Bitcoin in 2017-2018 during that pump and then crash era. I thought the price would had come back because that's the nature of Bitcoin but I didn't know when to stop back then and it might've been better if I just sold my Bitcoin and saved my investment to wait for another time to invest. That's my biggest regret, if I sold my Bitcoins then I'm pretty much have no regret but I can't say that if I insist to sell it.

Indeed, holding is not always good, and why we should miss the chance to sell them if we see a profit already?
I have no regrets about selling my Bitcoin earlier and I have no reason to do that because as an Investor, I have to take advantage of the roller coaster movement of the market (the up and down). I'd just even realized that I've earned more rather than holding for 4 years. It is how we strategies our investment and the volatility of the market seems to be the way it helps us.

Maybe if we have a busy life that we can't spend a few hours in the market, then holding must be applied but just like me, I'd rather have to play around and take the opportunity of the up and down situation of the market.

I am feeling super pissed on certain decisions that I made prior to now. I believe they were hasty and short-sighted, one of which was selling my Bitcoin.

If I go through the entire Bitcoin sold over the years before it became a major attraction for financial institutions and its latest price appreciation, I can say, for a sure, that I would have sold what has a future value of millions of dollars, considering the "it's a marathon, not a sprint" proverb.

I hope not to repeat such mistakes every again.

If people sold their Bitcoin assets for real, valid reasons, they won't look back and regret the decision. Personally, I don't think it would be cause for alarm if I sold my Bitcoin because of an obvious and urgent issue because the initial issue that prompted the sale has been resolved. In fact, if the price of Bitcoin has risen to five times worth the time I sold it and I have nothing to regret about. My main goal in investing in Bitcoin was to make money and create an inflation hedge so that I would have money in the future to deal with any problems. As a result, selling my Bitcoin holdings and using the money made to address certain problems makes sense as a smart plan of action.

Those who have sold their Bitcoin assets without a good reason in the past usually feel regret for doing so. People who sold their Bitcoin holdings for petty or illogical reasons will probably feel bad about it later on, especially if there is a spike in the price of Bitcoin. The secret is to make sure that the benefits of the liquidation much surpass any potential regret about lost market profits by coordinating the sale choice with specific and logical goals.

Not always, I get that you're being optimistic and reassuring people that they shouldn't live in the past but plan for the future and own the present although not all the time that you can let go of your Bitcoin and get them back at the same price or a cheaper price. Sometimes as you sell you can't own that quantity of Bitcoin anymore unless you'll be willing to spend more to own that same quantity. Nothing is impossible for Bitcoin but there are some prices that seems impossible for Bitcoin to retrace to that doesn't mean it can't happen. If you sold your Bitcoin, you don't have to wait for that prices to get back into the market as sometimes you can never see those price again. Start a fresh and let go of the decision you made in the past as they were reasons for that decision to be taken.


If you sold your BTC in profits you don't have to regret selling, just get back into the market and learn from the previous decision of selling because I won't call that a mistake that you should start regretting What makes you become better at investing is when you can learn from the mistakes you made in the past and better those decisions as you make better ones in the future. If you sold too early, this time don't be in a rush to sell but take your time and only sell if there's no other sources to get the money you need urgently.

I have not been there but I'm here now but if was there back then because it seems you have been here since 2016. If I have bitcoin in my wallet and then decide to sell or sell part of it for something then it must be something genuine maybe like health, school bills like textbooks and school fees, help a friend in health situation then I don't have anything to regret because these things are something that don't have any other solutions but to solve them in that time, you can't cheat nature and you need good education; I will not regret anything doing it.

However, if I gamble and sell my bitcoin for things like to go place like club, give money to women, give money freely because I want to impress people, I will not be happy about that because it shows I don't value my life and my future. If anyone has 10 bitcoin from 2016 to now should be comfortable about life with such amount of bitcoin today, those golden days will never come again.

I feel you! I sold some for $150 in 2015. Had a nice gain though but with todays prices it was a bad decision
Same for Ethereum which I cheaply bought at $0.94 and sold for $11 a year later when Buterin stated he sold most of his stake because he thought the price is too expensive. In hindsight, what a misjudgment on his part.

That's a good reminder for everyone of us and to answer if I did regret my sold BTCs, somehow I did. But when I realize that it did helped me during those hard times upon selling them, it gives me a relief and thankful to Bitcoin.

There are moments of our lives that we have to force sell the Bitcoins that we held in the past. This time, we're not going to do that again, as long as we're able to endure the situation and there are other solutions on it, that's what I am going to do.

But for those that can't find any solution and your only solution is to sell, think of it if it's going to give you relief and no regrets.

Exactly, you are selling Bitcoin for a reason, especially when it comes to emergency purposes and you really need to use those funds. Bitcoin helps you financially to sustain your needs so there's nothing to be felt bad about selling them, maybe selling it for the reason of buying unnecessary things which can be temporary and the person would realize his loss. We all have different target prices of Bitcoin as well have freedom when to sell, you would be the one who's gonna take responsibility for profiting and losing money after all. Bitcoin existed for decades already so people still have the chance to still invest in Bitcoin whether long-term or short-term investment. 

What’s the use of regretting when you have all the chances to buy and hold bitcoin again. Although it’s undeniable that there are certain points in our lives that we regret our decisions but regretting does not really help at all. And besides, when I sell bitcoin, there’s always a valid reason for that so I don’t see any reason why I do have to regret.

For newbies, regretting might be a common thing, but certainly not for long term investors and traders in the crypto space. There’s no space for regretting when you consider bitcoin as your jewel.

of course I have, not just once but several times. The first is related to altCoins. Yes, because I was not sure about continuing to hold the coin and in the end took profit at a certain price rate at that time, which in fact many people actually predicted that the coin would rise. However, I personally think that it is better to get a profit that is not too high than to regret the coin. However, after selling it, it turned out that the price of the coin had actually soared even higher and almost doubled. regret? what we can be certain of is. but it has become a decision and there is no need to regret it anymore. What is certain is that at least we have got the profit we wanted.

But unfortunately this happened again several times hahaha even when selling Bitcoin. I thought at that time Bitcoin would only reach its highest point at $40k and after that it would experience a market correction, so at least I could take it at the lower price again. However, it turned out that the price of Bitcoin at that time actually increased until it reached $42k and apparently did not fall again below $40k.
 

True! I have also sold quite a bit of bitcoin because I get excited. Yes, I entered bitcoin in 2020, and there is a bull run in 2021. I get excited and thrilled because even though I have just a few satoshi, I gain a lot from that, and I didn't think twice. I converted half of it and cashed it out, and then I brought the things I needed and wanted. Do I regret that? No, maybe at some point, but at least I brought the things that I couldn't afford in the past, and I still have another half, so I continue investing in them and managing to grow more. So instead of regretting what's happened, spend the time to think about how you will earn and ride the market. Investing in bitcoin is still not too late; you just have to create your own opportunity. If you really want to earn, then be resourceful and stop regretting the past opportunity.

When it comes to regret then i have already tons of regret on which it isnt really just that limited to Bitcoin but also in other coins as well on which i might really be that rich now if i hadnt made out those
mistakes in regarding on cashing it out. Wayback into those ICO days on which there are coins which i have been able to invest into, i did held and when bull kicked in then i did make hundreds of thousands
but what did i have done? I did simply hold because i do really wish that i do able to hit up the right amount before cashing out until the price did really make out that go into the bottom.

As for Bitcoin holding then i have been here when its still $200 as far as i remember, why i havent been able to save up? because into those times i do really need to convert
those coins into fiat because of additional income aside from my job earnings on which it did really give out that huge regret because i might be rich
now but well its better to move on and never tend to look back, it would really be that so damn stressful.

I sold 100 btc for around 20 bucks in 2011 being there but yes i am still very active today things have changed a lot but never lost faith in btc 

Everyone of us here might have sold bitcoin at a low price, and that is inevitable especially if we needed the funds so badly. But regretting of selling, I guess not since it also save the situation that time. Bitcoin is not meant to be hold forever, so you really have to spend it at some point so it will also serve its purpose, that is to enjoy our profits after months or years of long term hodling.

At first... I felt that regret too, but what you're saying is true. The past shouldn't be a reason for us to be afraid of moving forward. I did sell BTC at a low price, but the thing is, there's always a chance to welcome another day. Making today part of the past isn't a bad choice. Even to profit from the Bitcoin market conditions, there's still a wide opportunity.

At times like this, I think many people would prefer to HODL. Not just because of past experiences, but also with the upcoming halving, who wants to miss out on the bull run journey, right?

Me, on the other hand, regret selling it when I want to gamble and then lose those precious BTC, or even if I won, I didn't convert my fiat or local currency to Bitcoin so that it will remain intact. I don't regret when something very important is happening in my life that I really need to sell it because of the circumstances, but gambling? when I think about it and reflect on what I have done mostly in the past? yeah, I feel disappointment with the way things unfolded.

So probably I think you will agree that it's the same situation with you in trading, you missed the boat, or your timing is off when selling then. Prices move on the opposite direction and you just wish that you didn't make that mistakes to sell and then just lose them in trading. But I guess for everyone though, this kind of regrets should be a lesson to us and not let it consume us and overthink about it.

There are always opportunities in the Bitcoin market. To take advantage of these opportunities, we need to learn from our mistakes. Some of us heard about Bitcoin much later, and some of us learned about it very early. The common point of all these stories of meeting Bitcoin may be the sentence "I wish I had not sold my Bitcoins and waited."

Bitcoin has offered and continues to offer many opportunities to all of us. There are many times I wish I had known about Bitcoin earlier, but we can't change the past. It is necessary to take steps towards the future.

To be honest, I sometimes regret some sales that were for trading purposes. But those I sold for my needs—I don't regret that. During trading, sometimes I miss the boat. After I sold my bitcoin, the price moved significantly, and I wasn't able to buy it back at all. So when I remember that, I regret it, of course. This is life; it always won't be in my favour. But still, I want to accumulate and make money from the volatility. Regretting and being hopeless won't help us gain anything. We have to focus on the future.
