Don't you worry about guys like that, because chances are that he bought much earlier than majority of us.

Another thing to consider is that just because someone bought at the very cheap price many years ago, doesn't mean that he is millionaire now, or that he is havibg a lot of bitcoins and its not easy at all to hold if for example you bought bitcoin when price was $50 and bitcoin reached $1k for the first time.

I think that guy will definitely regret it now. Because currently bitcoin is no longer at $80K, but the price of bitcoin has now almost touched $90K. So you can be sure that if that person sees the development of Bitcoin now, you can be sure that he will daydream for a very long time. Because in my opinion, someone who has known about bitcoin since it was 2 or 3 dollars is an incredible gift. So if someone found out about bitcoin when it was still cheap and didn't buy it, I think that person must have very deep regrets right now. But what can you do, when the price of bitcoin was cheap of course many people at that time doubted bitcoin and only a few people believed in bitcoin. So it is not surprising that when the price of bitcoin is cheap, many negative assumptions and opinions about bitcoin emerge. Because how could it not be, bitcoin is a relatively new investment asset when compared to other assets. So it's natural that in the past many people underestimated Bitcoin. But now bitcoin has indeed broken the negative assumptions of people in the past. Therefore, this should be a lesson for us, that we must be more focused and active in collecting our money to invest in bitcoin (DCA). Because don't let our fate be the same as the person who made the post on X.

Almost everyone had this fear of investing bitcoin back then because we never had the understanding of where bitcoin was heading to, but I don't really blame people who had this fear then because it wasn't their fault, we all where just watching bitcoin to prove it self with time and we can see bitcoin have already prove its potentials and reliability. Congratulations to those who went ahead to invest bitcoin,  not being skeptical of it.

I'm not bothered those who didn't believe in bitcoin in the early time but I get shocked and disappointed when I see people in this era still being skeptical about Bitcoin, all this years should have have made them to have better understanding about bitcoin and not to be skeptical in investing in it.

Nah I don't think that it would even change a thing, even if he does invest in Bitcoin at that time, I don't think that he could endure it or hold it till now, a price drop already proves that he couldn't hold it for long term.

Totally agree.
What is lost - is lost.
We need to think in the current times. And the opportunities which are opened now.
 

Is there any need crying over a missed opportunity, if one found out about BTC in the early days but didn't buy it then, that time is past and they should be looking at buying it right now.

We cannot really blame those who bought very early and also sold along the way, i cannot promise that i would not have sold some of my coins if i had bought very early. Right now we have seen BTC's trajectory and we understand it a bit more, so holding it is easier than in the early days.

Certainly, anyone who knew about bitcoin but didn't invest early, or those who invested but sold a few years ago will feel very regretful. But not only them, if it were us, we would have ended up like them because at that time bitcoin was not as trustworthy as it is now. Likewise, I believe many members on the forum have had that experience, many were also skeptical about bitcoin when they first heard about it.




Human nature is skeptical and reluctant to accept new things, we all have that nature. Like what's going on, we are bitcoin investors and we are strong believers in bitcoin and only believe in it. If someone introduces us to something new right now, we will immediately ignore it.

Must of people who criticized BTC in the past had already regretted their actions, and some of them buy Bitcoin when the price start to move because they will not stay to miss out better opportunities in the future because they criticized it and it keeps proving them wrong by moving further above their expectations.

BTC price keeps surging, what is the target price that it will balance?
When will most altcoins follow suit because most alt pins did t pump that much as Bicoin deed this week.

BTC was called a bubble, so many people saw it as something that will fail quickly, but good a thing that they can find out how wrong they were. Even institutional investors are getting into BTC now and buying it. BTC isn't even only about its price, BTC is freedom, it is a decentralized and censorship resistant currency, it has real life utilities and so there is no way it is or could have been a bubble.

We all have to mature along bitcoin. I remember when I first heard of it and thought to myself it could be a good way to make some money. All I saw was volatility that I could use as a trader and maybe investor in mining equipment. I did not think past another year forward and never thought it could be worth more than $10k.

When it first went to $12k I sold some and thought I made a deal of my life. You have to go through one or 2 full cycles to understand what you're holding.

Bitcoin is more than a way to make money. It's really a beautiful invention.

The price of Bitcoin continues to surprise any doubts, the more we keep doubting Bitcoin, the more the price proves us wrong. I think the person who said he was happy he didn't purchase Bitcoin on the mess a few years ago would feel bad about it if he didn't invest in Bitcoin once more. He might even go insane because the Bitcoin that people purchased with a little amount of money back then has generated millions of dollars in profits. For those who want to invest in Bitcoin, now is a perfect moment. Don't worry about the price increase; as long as you have the funds, you should do it since delaying is risky. People who were scared to buy it when it was around $60k are still regretting it. So let's try it out now and become one of the Bitcoin holders.


To be honest, not everybody is going to trust Bitcoin from the very first moment they heard about it. Since there were many scammers on the internet back then, people would assume that Bitcoin was just a different strategy used to scam them. As a result, only those who had the courage to take risks would invest in Bitcoin very early. But I think Bitcoin has shown us that it pays well as soon as we are willing to take the risk and have the patience to hold even when the price dips.

I would not blame this kind of thinking for either now or then because in the end he said it according to his year where at that time bitcoin was still not as booming as it is now and when there were still many previous people who used bitcoin as an exchange for game consoles or pizza and like the case of the picture given by the OP by thinking this is a bad condition and will not buy bitcoin actually it belongs to their own choice and we have no right to judge or intervene in the choices that have been made.

Regardless of regret or not it returns to the person and I think with many examples actually for now it is not the time to assume other people who do not buy bitcoin or are not in bitcoin are stupid but for now we only need to focus on ourselves so that what happened to others in the past by wasting bitcoin happened to us because indeed at this time we only need to convince ourselves that bitcoin is an innovation that indeed allows changing our standard of living.

who is here that has not benefited from cryptocurrency or bitcoin? I think we have all benefited most especially in cash and knowledge,  Bitcoin breaks $84,500 and $85,000 was not what most of us ever dream but today we have achieved that. Thank to all bitcoin enthusiasts and developers that did not give up from the beginning in the face of stiff rejections.

Today every governments want to identifying with it and we are happy for this technological breakthrough. And this is just the beginning of bitcoin achieving more significant milestone, because in the coming weeks and months, aot of positive bitcoin mainstream activities will push the market to gain higher value.

Incidents like this often happen and there are even many stories if we want to look for them in the stories of people who at that time did not believe or were against Bitcoin.

Just like me, at that time some of my friends had been involved in the world of Bitcoin in 2011 and in 2012 they had told me and I didn't believe it and it didn't make sense. However, over time the price of Bitcoin began to increase even though at that time the price was still very cheap and I still didn't believe it, and in the end I started trying to find out about Bitcoin plus some of my friends gave me basic knowledge, benefits and also the potential future of Bitcoin which finally at the end of the year in early 2016 I started getting involved with Bitcoin and in early 2017 I entered this forum and everything became fun and also made me more confident and motivated by the beauty of Bitcoin and I was very happy because Bitcoin gave me many benefits and changed my situation and also my finances which I might regret if I ignored it.

And I think people who ignored Bitcoin at that time might eventually get involved with Bitcoin because we don't know about it. And if they still ignore it until now, I think they will scream... Stupid me, and I regret it so much.

That guy should feel regret now if he see what happen to Bitcoin now and he still not invest in Bitcoin. I can imagine how his face shock to see Bitcoin price now and the journey of Bitcoin.

Many people tend difficult t accept a new thing and don't believe if that thing can be better in the future. We can only feels sad and regret why we don't take a chance in the beginning. But everything is happens and we can not just feels sad but we can take another chance so we can benefits from that thing, in this matter is Bitcoin.

Many of us also have a doubt of Bitcoin but we try to know it by learn and research. And here we are still trying to accumulate more and more Bitcoin. If people out there still don't believe in Bitcoin, so be it because we can not force them to follow what we do.

Facts.
Normal for sure to be in doubt of something we know nothing much about because that is where learning takes place once curiousity and interest are fed. Many people still at this point are in doubt of Bitcoin and this technology in general inspite of seeing how far it is now. Let them be in doubt and wait for them to ask you why you are here in this industry. It would be hard explaining or atleast forcing a knowledge to someone who's not open in the first place to new idea. FUDs just that strong which causes fear to other investors. Perhaps right now that new ATH is already made, why are people afraid to make a purchase if we often say its market price which reach higher heights? Guess it's the same with those who knew Bitcoin on the early stage. Lesson? Would you just wait and be afraid or have the courage and know why many people are looking forward for its further growth in the future.Definitely. There's no such thing as 'too late' if an asset has the potential to grow over the years. Bitcoin and this industry could still be young given that recognition still is in progress from many countries.

That was quite a long time ago, and if he is updated on the current situation with Bitcoin, you won’t feel like that anymore. He bought it once it reached maybe $10 or more. Knowing Bitcoin's existence early would probably change his mind once it broke an all-time high unless he is too stubborn.

Many people have probably stayed the same until they realized that we are currently at an all-time high, and people like to brag and say, “I told you so.”

I hope that he changes his mind.

ETFs are still buying bitcoin every day, they don't seem to care about the price and they are buying billions of dollars of bitcoin.  Is it good advice to say that this is not the time to buy and to wait for the bear season to come? Does this cycle always repeat itself? What can we rely on to be sure of this? Instead, why not use the DCA strategy if we intend to invest in bitcoin for the long term?

Of course, anyone who sold bitcoin cheaply in the past would regret it and if we were in their shoes, we would regret it as much as they do now. I even believe you would have called bitcoin a scam if someone introduced bitcoin to you 10 years ago. Because you believe that the price of bitcoin can increase to hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future but you also dare not buy bitcoin at $80k, you certainly would never buy bitcoin if it was priced at $1 many years ago.

You are crying over spilled milk like many others - because I first heard about BTC in 2011, but I didn't invest in it until 2014 and I don't consider it something to regret. In those first years, only a few understood what it was really about, but all those who were still suspicious even after BTC existed for 10 years are the ones who should regret the missed opportunity.

However, who says that those who invest today will not achieve at least x10 profit in 10 years? Of course, it's not all about profit, Bitcoin is still much more for those who want more

To tell the truth the speed at which bitcoin has been moving over the years is incredibly fast, I had faith in bitcoin but I honestly thought it will take it a very long amount of time to reach six figures, and yet it is entirely possible this may happen during this bull run, which is great, but this tells me that most likely the world economy in a worse shape than I thought, since it would have been impossible to reach these results if the economy was as solid as politicians want to makes us believe.
