Topic: I miss the good old days - page 3. (Read 736 times)

This is very good gesture from you for very old and unique person in bitcointalk forum history but sadly check his last post
this is really serious issue with him where we cannot help him because physically and metally prepartion is very important sadly he is now unable to do this all feeling sad for him.

These time's are really hard specially to a lot of people that are greatly affected by this pandemic. I do not know your whole story but visiting a therapist is one of the best thing that I can say instead of saying to just stay positive. There are still a lot of therapist you can contact through their websites or social media accounts.

You can still jump back in into the Cryptocurrency industry though because its still the same as before. Earning it would not be the same as before though but everything is a process that will be profitable.

A lot is on a state just like yours but I think they spend their money on different things and not on medical bills, but I think if not stock in the pretty $34,000 USD pretty much not riding the waves of Bitcoin just like you,

I really think you should have a positive mind and start all over from the top, don't stop in giving yourself another push below because the wave is currently turning back start from scratch if you don't have money in buying Bitcoin have a business or a job, there is no reason to quit now that the ATH is at $34,000 USD, we should be happy and proud what Bitcoin had reached.

There is no point being stuck in past glory, get going with something new and exiting.

The only constant in the universe is change.

I believed there is always an opportunity to invest in bitcoin and at the same time make a profit, you could always start over again in investing or you could even invest in yourself.

I also sell my bitcoin at a good price in the market, of course, I'm thinking of holding it for a long time but it might not be worth it since you need to wait for a long time to sell it at a good price.

Especially if it's for an emergency and you really need the money, at some point we do make the investment because of it.

Ouch! Your story in the OP is quite touching. I know how it feels to lose something because you want to keep afloat. Well, just remember that health is more important than anything else. Once we have life, we can have hope of regaining whatever lost. Have this as a consolation. Welcome back, veteran member of this community.

You've great skills that can always land you freelancing gigs. And there are several of these gigs on the Internet. Just surf the net.

You miss the good old days? Just as I experienced, owning 12 bitcoins became a matter of pride for me in 2018 to 2019. I want to go back and set it aside for this year, but it's impossible. The result is we are a part of the past that saw bitcoin growing so fast and we can no longer hold it back. but I still feel happy that all my life I have owned bitcoin.

You have been here since 2011, of course, there are many twists, challenges, bitter and sweet that you have ever met and lived with, especially about Bitcoin.

Indeed sometimes we live in this world and work have saturation and retirement, however, sometimes it is also "knowledge" even though someone has retired in the world of crypto, especially Bitcoin, if there are still people who need someone's knowledge about Bitcoin it would be nice to continue it for everyone.

The past is indeed beautiful, however, where the name of the world is not eternal, there is birth and death, if you have the intention and continue to want to help about Bitcoin go on, nothing can't while there is a desire to help, keep going friends.

Thanks I'm a PHP developer and work with Cloudflare, AWS, etc. often but working daily isn't something I can do physically or mentally. My PHP experience makes me really good at finding bugs and security holes. Fixing them, not attacking them.

I don't see a reason why you can't just start over?

I think you are in a much better situation than someone, like me, who has only recently started to actively participate in this space. You have an enviable experience and reputation - use it to your advantage.
Anyway, good luck in your future endeavors and don't give up!

to be precise here I really salute you, have contributed that long in bitcoin. You don't have to lament. Since your role will not be forgotten by bitcoin, there are probably many out there like you, with all their different experiences. biitcoin has grown, and you can no longer be with it. but that doesn't mean you can't watch it grow.
I wish you health and return to life with a higher spirit.

Hey. Bitcoin has a way of taking over I feel... And not just for speculators, probably more so for those vested in it like you. Always feel a little sad every time I run into someone who's contributed and yet feel like they're in a rut.

Take comfort in the fact that those whom you've helped are better today than where they were. There are still ways to help Bitcoin, most of what you said you did are still valid activities.

What kind of work do you do? You seem like you know your way around. I'll see if I can help find something.

I get that, I had a couple of things in my life that broke me when they disappeared, but look at it this way, at least you are not me At least you were there early and did some actual good with it. I got into it only relatively recently and it's not like I did not know about it, I just did not have any vision and forward momentum to do anything about it. At this point, I am just barely holding on to the fast-moving bullet train that is crypto. I would like to get more technical with it, just for the sake of knowledge, but I am sure that if I got into it at an earlier stage, it would be much, much easier.

Don't get me wrong, I am not downplaying your sentimental thoughts. If anything, I think more n00bs like me should hear and read thoughts like this as they tend to convey a much warmer feeling towards crypto, and in this day and age, we are really lacking in that department. To me, looking back at it, from the outside, it really looked like a revolution, but now it just looks like a wasteland of vultures and dead dreams. So don't be sad, you still can help. You and others that were at the forefront in the early days should be here to keep pushing it in the right direction, to keep reminding people that this is not just some monetary quick fix, but indeed a cultural revolution. You still need to do your part more than ever.

It is a pity that your disease prevents your normal life, but in my opinion it is not the final verdict for you, at least in case you have a strong desire to earn something. Because somehow you have got Bitcoins in your past life. Away your depression. You are not the onliest in the world who spent or lost Bitcoins in previous years. But nowadays you may do something in order to get some profit in future again. There are lots of online jobs, and online courses to get some skills. The whole world because of the pandemic situation widely uses online jobs, online education and online life. Believe in yourself and get your Bitcoins again! Do not give up!

Many people regret selling before due to what we are seeing right now. The market value is now above $30k wherein no one expected it to be having such market price. But that's the point I think so there is no need to regret things. If we only knew that it's market value will be as big as it is now, who in the right mind will sell before? since no one have a valid basis that this day would come, it won't be surprising that many of us did sell our possessions of this technology on the early years of it. Same thing goes at this moment, no one has the assurance to tell that the market value will continue increasing on the following years and with that being said, the 'cycle' continues.

Nevertheless, you are one of those people who contribute to what Bitcoin has become now and I wanted to say to the people like you, Thank you guys you just don't know what you guys did. there are lots of people who change their lives with BTC and you guys the veterans who supported BTC from the start, are one of the main reasons why we reach up this stage. Now the price of BTC has recorded a never-before-seen event and it will continue because right now, there are lots of people who trust it and it will continue.

This just shows it not healthy to deploy to much of your time doing mostly only one thing, whether it be mining or gaming or something else.
It's important to have many hobbies and spread your interest over a wide area. otherwise you might be left with a gaping hole if the one thing you spend all your time on stops.

I also wondering what if I just continue to mine and work for bitcoins 3 years ago. I might have my 1st bitcoin today. Back then the bitcoin earnings in my life is definitely best and smooth. I have some fixed bitcoin earnings weekly here in forum and I able to experience the last all time high of bitcoin and in that time I badly need some money for emergency purposes. I didn't able to left some in my account and withdraw it all because of this emergency. Still, I am thankful that eventhough it is last 3 years yet I able to experience one of the best experience in cryptoworld or bitcoin era. This year I'm starting again to earn bitcoin yet I don't knoe ehat tomorrow will brings me but I feel 2021 will be a good year for me and for the whole bitcoin community.

Thanks they were my own. Working has always been sporadic for me because of my autoimmune disease.

Unfortunate. Hopefully whoever you've spent the medical bills on is totally fine now.

With that said, chin up. Do you think the current price of $31,000 is the price peak of bitcoin? If not and if you want to get your stack back(at least a percentage of it), go do something about it. Get a job, start a business, learn a new skill that you can use to monetize, etc. It's easier said than done for sure, but you ain't going to move forward by just being sad about it, only actually doing something about it will.

I wish you the best of luck moving forward.
