Topic: I miss the good old days - page 2. (Read 722 times)

Not all is lost, OP. You can always start over. BTC isn't at it's peak yet and it's not slowing down either. So don't give up
I came back to crypto few years after selling my share for small profit. Do I have some regrets or feeling missing out? Yeah. But that's exactly what made me come back. This time tho, I'd be hopefully wiser.

Don't worry OP, life goes on. We miss many opportunities during our lives and we only get to learn about a few of them. The rest goes by unnoticed.

If I had medical bills I'd just leave some bitcoin as a reminder or a lucky charm. Since you were an early adopter you had a lot of them so selling 99% and leaving 1% wouldn't be a life and death thing for you and would probably change a lot in your life if you could have that additional 40 thousand dollars today.

If you weren't able to do it don't beat yourself over it. You were a part of it and met many new people thanks to it. You did not choose the best you could but also not the worst.

We shouldn't let ourselves stuck into the past but I do agree that those good old ways were really part of a very good journey of ours but doesn't mean that
you cant deal with it on the current day that we are into.

When we do talk about dealing with BTC then we can still do those things and when it comes to using and investing it then adoption is way more better compared
to those good old days.

Don't let yourself get depressed too much!

Well, whatever. It doesn't have to be signature campaings, whatever he can do that makes him become involved with the community again and also earn some bitcoin. The problem is if he is not in the mood but it sometimes helps to have your mind occupied with something you like.

I can relate to your situation as Bitcoin has been like a inseparable part of life for many and bitcoin has changed lives of many people like use, after reading your post I don't want to say it's never too late or you can restart again because a lot have changed and I belive you are talking about those days when Bitcoin was used as peer to peer transaction medium rather than sheer investment tool and those were days when we used to earn $1 for making 5 posts with bitmixer signature campaign, those were the days when we didn't had so many shitcoins and bitcoin was taboo to be discussed openly, it not easy to catch up but still try to pull up yourself from the depression and hold the latch of bitcoin once again.

Hope you recover one day. We all have regrets especially the ones who have been in the bitcoin community long enough.  I find myself in the same situation where I have just to sell what I have held for a long time. Its good that you are back though, starting all over again with your business is not too late. And its a perfect time as well. Remember that crypto industry is still in the very early stage. Good luck

Regretting those things will not really help you, I recommend to you that you need to use that as a lesson and make a new move next time and prevent that thing from happening again. That is one really confusing about bitcoin because you don't know when to sell or buy until you have seen already the result. It is true that there are still so many opportunities that you can grab, try studying trading, and learn how to buy and sell by learning the tools and indicators for trading.

I really hope that you will recover from depression,if recovering from depression is possible.
I'm always in a bad mood and I have low energy and motivation to do stuff.I don't know is this depression or some other mental issue.Maybe I should seek help.
I can tell you that nostalgia is the most pointless feeling.The past is gone and we can't get it back.
The good old days will never come.Perhaps the future will be better than the past.

You have already have done your part with the bitcoin community, don't worry about it. How unfortunate you are, you should have good earnings right now if you did not do that thing before because of the value of the bitcoin right now but it already happened and cannot turn it back, just don't mind it, maybe that thing is not good for you, there are still many opportunities that may happen to everyone especially on you.

You spent your bitcoins on your health. Can't this be a positive moment to raise your mood? It is always helpful to compare yourself to those who are worse off. There are people who have no money at all, and they also need medical care. How would you feel without bitcoins?
And today you have an excellent profession that allows you to work remotely. We can say that quarantine measures do not concern you. Start thinking positively, you have everything to start making money online again. Bitcoin is very popular today, that is, if you don't start buying it today, it will be even more expensive tomorrow.
You did a good job with your medical bills, now don't fold your arms, but with a lot of experience behind your back, just get up and move on.

It was really sad but I hope you don't regret selling those Bitcoins because you could still earn them back unlike someone's life. I mean that's one of the reasons why we keep earning aren't we? We earn because we prepare it for our future or emergency cases so you should not regret it. Besides, you already have prior knowledge regards these things so coming back won't be that difficult for you. It's never been too late to invest in Bitcoin after all so just grab all the opportunities ahead and you'll surely make an epic comeback. Anyway, I'm giving you all my support and I salute you mate.

I am astonished, I couldn't believe bitcoin could have caused so much trouble. I feel for you guys but try to raise your heads again.
I lost many bitcoins over the years and now I have way less than I could have had but that's okay, life goes on.
Money is important but there are things that are totally priceless. Focus on those.
I wish you all the best.

He can do much better then these signature campaigns stuff because bitpop is PHP developer and very good in past I check his post history but sadly right now physically and mentally he is not good enough to do things for himself its really sucks feeling sad for him and more we cannot do any thing for this great bitcoiner.

I am sorry to hear your story, OP.

Any chance you can be more active in the forum and making a few bucks as well? Like joining or managing signature campaigns or escrowing again. That way you would be thinking about bitcoin in the present instead of missing it and also earning some.

Nowadays I am also depressed I heard about bitcoin for the first time in 2015 at that time I was 15 years old I had no Idea that bitcoin could reach $25000 now I am feeling useless because this amount is very huge for me

"Alpaca Socks" YES! I was just looking through my overstock account and remembered how excited I was to be able to buy a vacuum cleaner (and other stuff) direct with bitcoin.
I spent and gave away quite a bit in 2014-2016: always with the assumption that I would have a couple for myself at any given time until I willed it after death (*but I don't)
I stopped mining in 2015 or 16: my house was maxed to what I felt safe loading it with and then I moved back across country. 2018 had me cash some out to keep my credit decent (so yes even now...worth it to have done that).

It sucks that you have health issues to the degree that it limits some of your opportunities but maybe on the other hand...it kept you in front of your computer long enough to get caught up in bitcoin?

I'm wishing you many good new days bitpop!

It ain't over yet, it's bitcoin its tricksey ;-)

It is kinda a sad sorry to hear about but there are really certain instances that you will be challenged on how tough you are going to hold into your finances like Bitcoin but it is just worthy expenses because you have make use it for a good sense. Well, memories brings back memories now that Bitcoin becomes more valuable compared to what it was before way back from the year it was established and first accessed by the pioneers here in the forum.

It has been a tough years for you mate that I hope you can still recover from where you are right now and it will never be too late to still get into Bitcoin. Just grab the opportunities you can see within and surely you can get back and will never miss the good old days for you will be making new good ones once you have fully recover.

It is some achievement, 10 years on this forum and still standing, yeah hope this forum will last forever, many forums come and go, many blogs come and go, I can’t remember how many emails I had lost count, how many old account credentials is inaccessible today, this is a permanently erasing our online existence and personality, virtual world isn’t as permanent as we once thought, what’s left is just memory. Most of the OG has to move on in real life, they have to leave for good, and they might be back with a different name on a different sites, who can tell they’re the same person once again? Btw I think that all the OG are the impressive person, they’re ahead of many people to understand how bitcoin work, I had to start to mining bitcoin by 2015-2016, because of lack of knowledges on know how, I’m not running a full mode too but some hideous miners, after a lot of troubles of getting mining to work properly finally get to know there is this website exist, and learn a lot more about bitcoin, yeah without this website I can’t even tell what exactly is bitcoin and how it’s origins, all the other website had totally misleading information on bitcoin, but I can’t blame all newbie not understanding bitcoin, they learn their knowledges from other misleading websites.

Ohh!!  what a shocking news from you. Really you missed your old good days. Basically it was expectations that BTC will hit again its previous record and will also brake. Now this is reality in front of us but you missed this time but i think life is first and you did proper work in your bad days by selling BTC. Don't be upset and move forward. Better days waiting for you.

thanks.

Everybody has to face situations when the time comes and you faced yours. You should consider yourself lucky that you had bitcoin which helped you when you needed it the most.
You sold bitcoin but also remember that it helped you a lot. With that spirit you can start from scratch again. It's not like everything is over.
You still have a lot of time because bitcoin has a long way to go. I am sure that you will definitely be able to do something to start accumulating bitcoins again.
It really doesn't matter how much you can start with but as time goes by, I assure you that you will be happy that you chose to start with bitcoin again.
Stay positive and don't think that it's all over yet.
