That was the biggest regrets i ever made in my life, way back 2009 when I first encounter bitcoin, at first i tried to mine using my CPU and GPU, then plan to buy some bitcoin, however i couldn't find where to buy. then suddenly I jump to new office, then it's all gone,
If I could successfully invest few dollar on bitcoin, I could be more happy than now.
Hope never dies with past, now I am trying to put things on the right place to earn great at bitcoin,

nahh stop that conclusion, it's just like "If your mom married his friend that became popular artist/entrepreneur now, you maybe become very rich", just accept this day condition, make this days condition more better like disseminate better information than you maybe rich... or some kind of joke like that, bitcoin almost fell many times because FUD or fake informations, so let's make this community become better than ever
This, it is impossible to predict the future and while an investment of that size would have paid off great dividends, we need to forever forget about such a thing, we need to concentrate on finding the next great hit and make money that way so we stop lamenting ourselves about another lost chance.

I can agree with what you have to say but there is a simple truth to this for most of us - we did not invest that much in the bitcoin network and that time has long passed. We should me making investment choices for the future years to come and not think back and regret our decisions from the past. This will get us nowhere, let alone generate more money. We cannot go back now - rendering this thread useless as it provides us with no new information. We all know what happened, but lets focus on the future.
guys there is a multitoken economy coming. there is your chance, I am sure there will be at least 10 coins where you buy now 50 USD and that will be worth millions. I hope that I have a couple of these coins in my portfolio.
go and buy some champions! (well that the hard part
good luck!

every time I think about me selling my initial pot of bitcoin i want to drive a stick in my head. I will not make the same mistake twice.

It's fun to think about but let's be honest, unless you were very technically inclined and specifically looking for a new currency or a technical marvel you never would have found bitcoins. I didn't even hear the word bitcoin until 2013!! And I didn't even look into it then! So 2010 never would have happened for me. So I can't really have regrets.
This is correct, even if I have always been interested in technology I have never heard of bitcoin ,in my case until the mid part of 2014 and then I ignore it, so unless we were part of the group of people that were looking for something like bitcoin to be invented then there was not a way to know about this amazing development.

Let us stop thinking all of these WHAF IFS and just focus on today and the possible future. We could not go back in time and get rich by being the first to grab the available Bitcoin at that time. Had it been possible, I think the whole world would be in a big chaos. Let's reserved this whole idea into TV and movie fantasies.
Now, having said that, we should instead work hard and increase our Bitcoin portfolio so that years from now we will not regret and would be so happy instead because our stash of Bitcoin has already reached $500,000 per Bitcoin...
What about that?

this will be so nice...unfortunately I discovered it only in early 2013. still it is good to have discovered it

These things doesn't matter anymore. No one knew about Bitcoin back then. And even those who knew about it carelessly stored their private coins, or even lost whatever coins they got from mining.
July 19, 2017, 09:46:30 PM
its only in my dream we can go back at the first time bitcoin launched so we can buy much of bitcoin with $5. i missed that time too like other people but i think i am not regret because its all happen in the past. and all we can do now, we can trying as much as we can to become rich person from bitcoin. there are no regret because of the past and we should do what we can now and i am sure that we can be better person and the best thing is we can be rich person soon

The problem is that time machine has still to be invented. anyway, the past is past and all we can do is just to reminisce them. However, there is something we can do today and that is to acquire more Bitcoin as much as we can because 7 years from now the value can be astronomically high and we don't want to look back at that time (again) and wish that we bought Bitcoin 7 years ago.
July 19, 2017, 06:58:03 PM
If I just have caught wind of bitcoins back then, I would have bough that much. What's 5 dollars, right?
Problem is, back then bitcoins weren't even on the map. People who invest in it are reaping the benefits now.
Fortune favors the bold, as the saying goes.

Sure, everyone knows you can't change anything about the past, but it is still fun and interesting to think about what coulda, woulda, shoulda been. As long as you don't dwell on it too much or let the regret of not buying/not buying more weigh you down.
Just like back then, the key is what you can do now in the present, given what you know now and what are you going to do with that knowledge now. If you do the best/make the best decisions and plans now with the knowledge and resources you have right now, then ten, twenty years from now when someone makes a similar thread as this one, you can say you have no regrets.
You're right.There should be no regret,no ifs and buts.Of course it's very clear that you'll be a millionaire now if you have done buying 7 years ago.But your knowledge about that will help you pursue your goal now.Because i'm sure there is only one common goal for everybody and that is to become rich.So when that moment will happen again,we know already what to do. Just like back then, the key is what you can do now in the present, given what you know now and what are you going to do with that knowledge now.

Yes but nobody can predict the future and 7 years ago I still didn't know that Bitcoin exist, so no need to calculate the things that we won't owned, it is better to focus on the present and the future, we still can get profit from Bitcoin and alt coin, now we need to focus on how much and how long do you dare to invest on crypto currencies

To my mind luck is also important factor. Read forum's old threads and posts, users were sending 10 and more btc so easily, sometimes as a gift but now no one will do that because 10 bitcoin is really huge amount of money and at that time, it was just some usd. If anyone knew that bitcoin's price would so high, believe me, those people wouldn't send so much bitcoins so easily.
Yes, the element of luck is also involved as well. Bitcoin was unknown that time and who wouldn't invest in them? Nada. Only a few maybe, but I think they already sold it during the bubble of 2013. So I don't think there are still people who are holding bitcoin for that long time. As you can see some are sending 10 btc like peanuts before, because they don't know that bitcoin will reach this far.

You don't even realize how many opportunities like this one are passing under your nose. There were so many new companies on the stock market that multiplied their value over the years, you just had to put your money in the right place. I remember back in the day euro was worth much less than dollar, like half of it, and a few years later we had the opposite situation, dollar went down and was worth 0.5€, now they are worth almost the same, so if you knew that and wisely converted your money, you could have multiplied it.
Which companies mate? there is no such a thing as investing in said companies or stock market that could be made as easy as investingOn Bitcoin, if you were to take advantage over dollar vs euro you'd be needing millions or even billions to earn a decent profit, what ever
Investment opportunity there is in the world none of them could give you more than %5000 in 7 years and even if they could it wasn't
Something as open and being internationally reachable like BTC. even now it's out there in the open for grabbing, many people still think
Bitcoin is some kind of investment tool all the times talking about risks, they don't get it or are using it the wrong way, it's a bank with
No headquarters while it's a currency as well with no government to print it.
I know it went much higher than those companies, but it was also less known. I personally never heard of it until the rise in 2013, but by that time i've heard of Apple and Google.

You can do this now with some new alt coin project if you get in very early and don't sell prematurely. But it's definitely hard to time the right moment. There are always opportunities though so yeah you need to get lucky
