To not be so turned off / afraid / dismissive / lazy about engaging in bitcoin when the means to acquire via purchase were tough and required wire transfers and dodgy websites. It was so easy to move on to some other curiosity. But it would have been so worth it to just put in a little effort to get involved.

Hindsight is a mother fucker, eh?

What is the use of thinking it when we know it is impossible to happen? Still, I would have advised myself to buy bitcoins and this is what I advise myself even today. I do not actually buy them, I do trading in it. I just wish I wouldn't have been this ignorant about bitcoins.

If you could go back in time, of course, you could give yourself a lot of various advice taking into account the knowledge of the future. However, this can not be. To earn money on the crypto currency, you need to learn a lot from the point of view of both theory and practice. All this will gradually come with time. And on the stock exchanges it is really better to start trading with small amounts.

If thats possible i would advice myself to buy as much bitcoins as i can. I am sad because i lost the opportunity to buy many bitcoins when the price was very low. Nowadays many created wealths by holding their bitcoins for years.

I would advise myself, Don't trust blindly on any opinion.

I have lost my almost 100% capital in my initial days just because I used to invest based on other's opinion and when I started blindly following tips from the troll box, I kept losing my capital because most of them were part of the pump and dump hype. Thus I would highly recommend myself to research everything before following anyone.

Since we're on a crypto currency forum I assume a lot of people will say they would buy bitcoin or any other successful altcoin. However think about it this way, if you had bought bitcoin early on (and a load of it). Perhaps bitcoin would have never reached the price point it has now just because you bought a lot of it very early on when it was basically free.

I would have laid my hands on all computers I could gather and then mined as many Bitcoins as I could because it was going to boom in a few years time. Secondly I would have established good contact with satoshi nakamoto so that I could have more to tell the world at this point in time.

well having links with satoshi can make you rich and same if I would have a chance to go back to the past I will give some advice to hold me that time bitcoin with me as long as much I can so I would be able to earn money of my own choice and I will be proud of my decision and I would appear as the one of the most rich person of the world.

I wouldn't actually "give advice" i dont know if this is considered advice . But "You had one thing to do, Post some posts from time to time in signature campaign and you left it. Go start again and wait for 2 years where the price goes higher and double your earning" <--- But i cant change that so i just have to focus on what i currently have.

if i could travel back in time and give myself advice, i will suggest to borrow money from my sister and then i will buy bitcoin, not much i think at least 10,000-50,000 bitcoin because in that time, the price is something like a penny or more but less than $1, then i will hold as longer as i can. i think with that amount, it is enough for me to be the richest person in my country Grin

Of course i will buy many bitcoins when the price of bitcoin still low, using all my money to buy bitcoins on that day and also i hope i never met gambling in the past. It's really cost me so much, makes my life become worse and my college also destroyed because of gambling. Thats 2 points that i hope can give me advice in the past.

Buy The F*cking Dip

Come to think of it, this might be very useful and can provide details on what I learned so far in trading crypto. Here are my "lessons" to my "past me".

Learn to take profit. Set a target price where you'll be selling your bags and sticks with it.
Make some price alarms. Prices in crypto could swing in just a matter of seconds/minutes.
Don't leave your coins to any exchange for longer period of time.
Buy the fucking dip and just HODL.
Be patient and enjoy life.

1. Buy btc when the price is still low.
2. Start blogging. Start build a blog or a website for Adsense.
3. Start typing captcha.
4. Start posting in this forum.

Where is my ring of blades...

the only good advice is to never listen to random people!

it is a common thing in the world that people spread lots of bullshit around and when they come online this becomes more severe. and when it comes to bitcoin things become even worse. there are a lot of FUD, a lot of people who don't even understand what the hell is going on but they have a hot opinion about everything.

this doesn't mean you shouldn't use what some useful people say, you need to gain enough experience to be able to first make your own decisions and second figure out who is just FUDing and who has a point.

Lol, if I were going to the past why would I need to tell myself to read the charts, etc as I would already know what would happen exactly? I would just tell myself buy maximum Bitcoins as possible, start searching for Bitcoin from 2011 on... Collect maximum as possible from faucets. I would tell some future important events too that could help somehow and another personal things.

Don't hestitate to buy some bitcoin, never go all in on one crypto, have patient (hodl) and don't jump from one crypto to another one because that one is up right now.

I want to be talking to myself here. You see, just like many of us here, I also committed many mistakes recently that seems to have contributed to my financial standing which is not really that good (though not also very bad). I guess the advice would be to never trust anyone who claims to be good at this and good at that as anytime that person can also commit mistakes and can be gone in an instant. And another thing is never invest in programs which are already proven not to be sustainable and can collapse anytime they be clear ponzi, revshare or pseudo-trading programs. I am still recouping all the money I lost right now.

Take out your retirement fund. Get the biggest line of credit you can and buy as many bitcoins as you can. Congrats, you can retire at 30 or 40. Instead I didn't take any risk at all and here we are with a good looking wallet but I'd rather have an amazing wow super doooper story and wallet.
