When price tripled from $1 to $3, I had over 1k BTC. I thought, "Gee, I was making a profit on mining at $1, there is no way this price is sustainable". So I started selling. I could have had $530,000 if I had held on until today, not to mention if I would have sold over $1k.

You made 40k. Just be happy with what you have. Don't worry about what could have been.

if we knew everything in advance we'd ~~all be millionares~~ not even need money.

Every single one of us is a goddamn hero with the benefit of hindsight. I'd soil myself with joy if I'd made that type of money in such short order and screw any other mythical profit.

I was doing margin BTC trading and made
40k in two days,,, and I sold at the last 3500yuan where price stalled for few hours.
If I just held for another 6hours, I would have made another 20k....

But I am holding all my profits in BTC atm.. so increasing price is great for me, however other side of me regrets possible great profit potential...
I should have sold just 50% and held rest... dumb noob retard Sad

profit is profit, don't be too greedy

it will only be your downfall if you're greedy

Actually no one can predict with accuracy the future behavior of markets, so we need to make the best decisions according to our available information and respecting a previous plan. If you have gotten good profits, I can't see any real problem, especially knowing that market tends to move in oscillating manners.

Don't know how much 40K Yuan is, but hey. You made a profit, right?

I fucking bought Lisk RIGHT before this gigantic spike in bitcoin, now I'm a retard bagholder hoping Lisk will rebound. Oh well, at least I didn't bet all that much. Still, I hear you OP. But Jhanzo is right, that's the way it is in markets where you really don't know what's going to happen. Sometimes you win, sometimes you get fried like a fishstick.

profit is in USD

anyways holding 160BTC until the halving

Wll I am going to hypnotize myselft that I was on 5x leverage instead of 10x...
Still good profit, and market treated me well.

Don't worry about it so much, there's a ton of things that could have been done but this rally is still going on and you could still ride on it. Just look at those volumes. I wouldn't expect this outburst to die out extremely soon. If you're willing to take the risk there's still potential to profit IMO.

How much lisk did you buy?

420 Lisk. Lol, that's an enormous altcoin buy for me, but I know there are people with thousands of Lisk that are in the same boat. I think. Shocked

Thank satoshi

That's just how it is with speculating, sometimes you win sometimes you lose. If you missed a pump then you can buy back again and hope that the price will stay on climbing.

It's not really a big loss to you because you still earned 40K from margin. Some people shorted months ago.
