Yes, personally I also have the same condition. I keep very few assets due to many factors, and of course that makes me regret it. Most of us are probably too quickly satisfied with the price of bitcoin. Even though we are very sure that the price of bitcoin can become very high, sometimes an urgent need makes someone have to sell the bitcoin that they are holding for the long term, especially if at that time we feel that the price of bitcoin has become very high.

There is no need to regret it when you sell your BTC, there are certain situations in which you have to sell your coins because you need fiat to solve some problems in real life. You can always accumulate BTC again, as long you have a good source of income or good skills, so you're either going to buy or earn it. Needless to say that BTC is also a currency, so spending it should never be ruled out of our books.

As long as you sell for a good cause, then there’s no room for regrets. Regrets are only for those who keep missing opportunities to invest in bitcoin, not because they don’t have sufficient funds, but because they don’t have enough faith in bitcoin.

My goal is to also earn a good amount of bitcoin in the long run, that’s why I really work hard to earn a living and to sustain my bitcoin investment. Although there might be some inevitable circumstances that will push us to sell, and that’s okay, as long as you never stop buying and hodling bitcoin whenever you’re capable to do it.

I also think that Bitcoin still has the potential to increase in price in the future so it is still okay to buy now and keep hodling. In the future many of us might regret selling our coin that's why we should have plans for our Bitcoin. We need to do everything possible to ensure we keep our coins even if it will take to alternative sources of income. Even if you have plans to sell during the bull run, there should be a plan to replace what we have sold when the price drops. Having emergency funds could also help to reduce the impromptu selling of Bitcoin due to sudden problems or challenges. Emergency fund is very important for long time Bitcoin hodlers because life conditions are unpredictable.

not much but enough to make a profit if there is an increase,
I think no one will answer specifically how much they own bitcoin, for reasons of ownership privacy and not wanting to expose their assets,
currently to get 1 btc you need a lot of money so no matter how many btc you have one is lucky to be able to survive until the new ATH in this session

Sometimes i do think if I can do socery and bring back those days when you can easily afford so many BTC with just a little dollar, because when i come through live stories of people who have hold their BTC for the past 10 years now i begin to feel like this people just turned millionaires in dollars overnight but it dawn on me that they were resilient, consistent, patient and determined before they reach this level of success in their life. In all, have diverse means of income so that you can actually risks part of your money on Bitcoin for a longer period of time because who knows what the price of Bitcoin might also be in the next 10 years so it is better to accumulate now than also regret like some others who had this golden opportunity years back but they neglected it but those who risked their money then are the ones enjoying it now.
I can't really disclose how much Bitcoin I have gotten but maybe when i have accumulated to the extent of owning 1 BTC then I will rejoice fully and share my experience as well because it is not easy to own 1 BTC now because I know how much is 1 BTC in my country's currency and you can actually use it to buy some tangible assets and even have reserves left.

In the period of 2016-2017 I was quite persistent to get more Bitcoin because it is easy to get Bitcoin from various ways that can be done.
I participated in dozens of bounties and airdrops, and I was really focused on that time, until I finally got an airdrop that gave me a profit of 3BTC because of the incredible price increase and some bounties that gave me a pretty big reward, and then I bought Bitcoin.
~snip~

I have never participated in bounty campaigns, but I was seriously involved in faucets and of course sig campaigns - so even though your 3 BTC seems like a lot to some, they may have forgotten that 1 BTC during 2016 was worth between $380 - $1000 at the end of that year. This means that here we can talk about a max profit of $3000, or maybe more if some of it was achieved during 2017.

Today, 3 BTC seems like a lot of money, but before that was not the case, especially during 2015 when 1 BTC was worth just over $200.

I only own a small amount in BTC, very small, believe me.

I know that so many people think all early adopters have hundreds of BTC in their wallets, just because they knew BTC early enough, when it was 'easier' to mine it or earn it in other ways. However, i am sure that not so many of these early adopters were able to hold their coins all these years, a lot of them have sold a long time ago, and have even started acquiring BTC again with newer adopters.

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.

Probably never going to be enough I'd say? It is not double digits yet, pretty close, but not yet. I would've probably gotten to two digits by now if I didn't panic sell when the pandemic started. I bought it at around 12k ish, sold at idk, 5k I think? Pandemic and panic just meshed together which made me sold, together with me being inexperienced with crypto lol.

Would probably go down, planning to sell quite a bit when the market hits its next bull run so any goal (such as owning more than one) would probably take around 2-3 years ish before I get that double.

HODL - BTC

Bitcoin at the time of 2011 was peanuts maybe a price range of €0.3 he said 1500 BTC selling it for €1500 means it is completely worthless and at that time it was still very easy to get bitcoin especially from faucets that could get up to 5 BTC.

Recalling the memory of the past: https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1799852280449278443
But I never experienced it. Cry

What do you have now? Not much, just keep a little bitcoin in my possession. I am not a person who has money to always buy bitcoin but when the opportunity for money comes, I will immediately buy it again.
Honestly, family needs are more important, so that must be fulfilled while bitcoin is the second choice.

Looking at an old thread from 2011 that talked about how many bitcoins they have, it made me think that getting Bitcoin is very easy.
How Many Bitcoins do you own?

Most of them earn from mining, giveaways, faucets and some contests that give away Bitcoin prizes.

I know about Bitcoin and this Forum in 2016 and back then it was quite easy to get 1 BTC just by entering a bounty or contest.

Those who have been able to survive until now with thousands or even hundreds of Bitcoins that they have held, it is incredible.
But most people have sold it at a high price in the past, but if you add it up now, then it is millions of dollars that you won't be able to get easily.

They have 100++ in the past

I will say that I've got 100 saved away in a tough to access location for a rainy day. Or you know, USD collapse.

approx 320. Most in bitbills ;P

And now, How many Bitcoins do you have now or how much have you ever accumulated?

Please writer of this post, permit me to answer you based on the topic because I am still a newbie because I can not be logical enough yet to respond in details.
So, I have actually not got any bitcoin yet, not even 1 or any fraction of it. I am still on learning process on how to invest and keep my assets secured. Reading about how investors have lost their funds on bitcoin investment feels fearing to venture into it without knowing how the system works. But I hope to invest soon.

To be honest it's easy to see riches these people could've made just by holding the hundreds of bitcoin they had back then. But the question is, which of them actually held the coins until today? Also taking note that it's far harder to hold with conviction back then compared to today.

I can bet anything that majority of those guys did not hold beyond 2017 bull run and the few that did most likely sold around 2021 bull run. The percentage of those who held from those good old days till now might be so insignificant if truly it can be known. I do see some of them in WO section but they will never disclose how much they have and I doubt there is anyone that will willing do that now. I believe back then people were mainly mining those Bitcoins with few people buying theirs, that was why it was easy for people to share their Bitcoin balance.

Quote from: mk4 on June 09, 2024, 01:41:37 AM

But to answer your question: I don't have enough bitcoin; no one does.

That sounds like sarcasm though because there are still people holding big bag of Bitcoin. If no one have enough Bitcoin there where are the Bitcoins located? Maybe Blackrock and those in their league have collected all the Bitcoin Cheesy

I have come across discussions like this in several social networks but one thing is common, those who had bitcoin 100+ back 2011 all ended up in regrets, even here in the forum must of this people may not even have any bitcoin at this point. It has now become a big deal to accumulate at least 1BTC even with our convictions about bitcoin.

Early people that had the opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin in this forum are very lucky, they accumulated Bitcoin when Bitcoin is very cheap, and some of them sell them at early stage, while some of them might still be holding their Bitcoin.
I am sure that the number of people that will still be holding these Bitcoin will not be much any more, and they will be among the top investors that trust Bitcoin.

Quote

Personally, I don't know if Not Enough is an accurate word to use in my case but for sure I'm far back in my hodlings. If there is another word that can express that I'm not holding enough I would have preferred to use it because truly I'm broke in bitcoin.

Even if you hold a little fraction of Bitcoin, you are an investor, you don’t need to show or tell everyone the amount of Bitcoin you are holding because it should be a secret something that only you should know for security reasons. All I know is that, with time, we will also accumulate if we keep buying with DCA.

Too personal, But I'll tell (believe it or not) that it's double digits.

Was it hard to get? No.
Was it hard to hold? At first yes, before 2017. In 2017-18 everything changed. I got over 2x boost and even when it fell down to 5k or so I was still up 6 or 7x from 2015-16. Since then it became easy.

I had more but sold a bit in every bull market. I also bought some back in every bear market and earned some from signature campaigns. I barely sold anything I earned from signatures during the last 4 years.

Indeed, it would be better for us to never tell the public how much Bitcoin we have collected and only people who we can trust need to know, because if we tell other people it is possible that people will have evil intentions and of course this will be very detrimental.
Choosing to collect Bitcoin as planning for retirement is of course very possible because we can all see that Bitcoin will always be able to give us profits after being able to hold it for a long period of time.

One of the reasons why I am keeping Bitcoin is because of its decentralised nature. Keeping fiats in banks will expose you to crime because almost all the bank staff can get information about your account. But Bitcoin promotes privacy so it will be difficult to know how much someone owns. I will not also support the notion of telling people in the public how many BTC I own because I prefer to keep it private. Anyway, I have not acquired up to one Bitcoin.

I am not going to answer that. Grin

Let's just say that I consider bitcoin to be my early retirement plan and also my pension fund. It's filing up nicely, but I am planning to add more to it before I consider myself done and ready to ride into the sunset. When that will be, I don't know.

I did a post titled Is it still possible to retire early? because I was wondering if it is still possible to escape from the rat race early in this global economic situation. People like you who believed in Bitcoin early and kept it till now will comfortably have a good retirement life if they have accumulated enough to sustain themselves. I also want to retire early so, I have started acquiring gradually using the DCA method.

Same here. I don’t think it’s advisable to expose how many bitcoins we have earned all throughout our investment journey. Even if we’re using anonymous codes here, it’s still safer to just keep only to yourself how many bitcoins you have. The more you hid it privately, the more it gets safer and secured.

Personally, I have invested already a good amount of bitcoin but due to some unforeseen events, I end up selling some of them in order to get out from a bad situation. And I’ve no regrets with that. Now, I’m still in the process of adding more bitcoin to my portfolio with the help of DCA. And I’m going to continue this even after bull run.

LOL, if you ask now it will probably be quite weird and impossible.
But if you started in the crypto space around 2015-2017, earning 3 BTC or more from airdrops and Bounty campaigns, it was commonplace.

There have been many Projects in the past that have given great rewards to their participants, and the requirements are also quite easy.

GO TO THE MOON BRUUUHHH,.

Adding more Bitcoin to your early retirement is the way to go.
You just need to accumulate more right now and then just enjoy the profits, it will be a revolutionary money-making machine that will last for the long term.
