Topic: Invest in Bitcoin now so you don't have to regret it later. (Read 562 times)

I did also have that same regret back then, but I guess it is just another memory to not be worried about. Anyone recall when it was like $500/BTC? I am pretty sure that not many investors would think of it anyway. In any way, I am okay with not being able to rent a villa in the end. No point of overthinking/regretting on something that you cannot control.

Getting rich through Bitcoin or even being rich itself is not my end goal. Maybe just financially stable and living in a little bit of comfort.

I have a similar story because I started my crypto journey back in 2015. I have seen bitcoin trading around $250 but I was too young and broke back then.
I didn't had a job and hence no money to invest. Started with faucets, cloud mining etc... and gradually started gaining knowledge on crypto.
I don't have a huge portfolio but still I am happy with what I have for I know it's value will be good in the future.
Crypto is here to stay and this is just the beginning.

Yes. That's why when someone asks me how to make money on crypto I just tell them to DCA and forget about it. If you literally buy one bitcoin and forget about it for like 10 years, one day you will wake up a millionaire. And it's also a good way save nerves by avoiding day trading.

I think, majority of bitcoiners go through what you went through about Bitcoin before they later understood it very well that Bitcoin is very important to humanity and to the world generally. Those that got it right newly by investing in Bitcoin always celebrate for the opportunity embraced, because they believe there is a brighter future ahead of them when the price hit higher in the market. Now that the price of Bitcoin is preparing to increase to $24,000, it will be favourable for investors to buy more of Bitcoin and hold for like 4 or 6 months before they can sell, because Bitcoin price will definitely hit back to $50,000 before the end of this year.

You have to be clear of mist, that is clarity, always, every time, an opportunity is repeated, not only with bitcoin.

There is always something, an asset in the traditional stock market, a purchase of furniture, minerals, jewelry, community investments, etc. and in that spectrum of possibilities with possible positive returns, we have bitcoin.

In fact, it has recently had a growth of more than 40% in a period of 30 days.Then, oh Yes!.  Everyone's reach, it is fascinating to think that from this idea of access to all social-economic levels, someone 30 days ago could see such significant growth, but you have to understand In the same way that for some it means recovery and for others it continues to be losses.

So it is not just investing in bitcoin, it is understanding that it is a particular investment asset very different from any other to which you have access as an individual and perhaps without any type of knowledge in the area of digital investments or of any kind.

So invest yes, but you must understand and face the setbacks in which you may find yourself involved with the money you invest in bitcoin, always from the colloquial point of view there is a very big difference between the adjective buy and/or invest, it seems simple jargon , but like other concepts or jargon used in the crypto investment environment, you must learn to differentiate.

There are ordinary people who buy a house and there are people who invest in a house, the first one has it for a long indeterminate period, the second one they want to sell for what they obtain the expected profit, in both cases there is a great risk of loss, but a big difference in the Time objective of the return of investment.

The point is... enough of the speech, I missed it.

And in that order of ideas, people like OP proclaim that they have gone through the traumatic process of according to them (it is a reality not only with bitcoin with many other assets) they have the previous speech "I missed it", They go through the tedious experience of being town criers to believe oneself healers and incorporate new "sheep" with the simple speech bitcoin is the asset that will get you out of poverty. And they start using jargon that instead of helping, they complicate the existence of whoever arrives.

The thing is that this type of context like the one presented to us by OP is a historical reference that must be assumed as surpassed, the different fronts where you can be with bitcoin must be disseminated, each of these positions represents an opportunity not only seeing bitcoin as an asset based on its price.

The point is that this type of context like the one presented to us by OP is a historical reference that must be assumed as surpassed, the different fronts where you can be with bitcoin must be disseminated, each of these positions represents an opportunity not only seeing bitcoin as an asset based on its price, if not as a revolutionary technological mechanism that depending on your capacity you can project it as a tool for your business or venture.
Or!.
As simple as you can give others the understanding that having bitcoin is a true financial empowerment.

And that's the real bitcoin discussion... by the way, if you enter tomorrow or when you can... without regrets, yes, please!.

People always be divided into groups, first who are not afraid to take risk decisions, second who try to catch a missing train. No matter how many historical examples, proofs and facts you show to a second group of people, they will hesitate to do.

In OP defense or to cheer him up, I can say that we never know what future will be, especially when we talk about investment. Be happy that you are smart enough to realize that you have missed your chance. Be happy that you did not buy Bitcoin at 1000, and sell it at 4000. It will be a more painful hit to groin, if you were an early seller.

now you can start again. being in regret is not pleasant. but it's even worse if you don't take the next step and ignore your regrets.
investing in Bitcoin can be at any time. people say the most important thing is that you are patient and able to handle your Bitcoin more wisely.
I wish you luck with the investment you make.

When it comes on missing out that opportunity then lots of us does share up with the same experience and regrets that we do have specially on dealing with crypto and with Bitcoin.If we had just knew that it could

reach up heights that we didnt expect for it to be reached and able to accumulate and hold until those moments then we would consider ourselves to be that rich and this is something that we are really that hoping

for but since we had missed out those chances then its better to move on.Dont make yourself get imprisoned out by the past because it would really just hinder you out on what are the things you
do plan to be doing in future.Move on and its not really that late for you to start up for this time.

I definitely had this regret back in the day. I got bitcoin at fairly cheap prices, I made a fairly good return, rent a villa for vacation type of "influencer" things, and actually had a very very rich one year, you know what happened after that? Bitcoin got even higher, and I had none. Which is why I realized that even though that was probably the best year of my life, I could say that it was also a bad decision and I regret doing that. If I kept that bitcoin, right now I would be rich enough to just buy the whole villa. In any case, that was a lesson, and good memories, and since then I have been collecting as much as I can, albeit very little compared to many people, but still a start for me.

I don't really think that anyone is going to have any regret later for not investing in Bitcoin. The thing is no one actually knows the future of Bitcoin where it is headed and how it will surmount the numerous issues with the government and regulators. right now everything is all speculation I think the only regret anyone would have later is not having a diversification plan. Do not put all your eggs in one basket, diversification will lead to fulfilment and happiness in the long run.

That's definitely the thing that people are forgetting about. We may have "gone up" recently, and that's good for some people, we have seen 16k at the bottom and now we have seen 23k, which means that it has gone up. But, you need to remember that we are pretty much 2/3 down on bitcoin from ATH and that shows that we are capable of going up x3 more, and that's very important.

If we can go up x3 more than that means we are going to profit more than any other investment we could make. When will this happen? I do not know, none of us do, but isn't it worth it to keep waiting for a x3 profit? I could wait 3 years for such a return because not many things I know could give me x3 in 3 years.

I'm sure many people feel the way you feel.
Likewise me, I also felt like wasting the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin.
Even though Bitcoin used to be trending several times in various news at my place and many said Bitcoin was a good opportunity.
But what I did before was just looking at it and not really interested.
I just love to see and feel amazed by the success of some people in my country getting rich by buying Bitcoin.
I'm not interested yet because I used to think that to make a profit from Bitcoin you have to have very good skills and understanding of technology.
I also used to think that profiting from buying Bitcoins was out of my reach.

Luckily I was recommended by my friend to be able to join this forum.
Because in this forum I can learn more basic knowledge about blockchain, cryptocurrency, trading and others.
And from this forum I see a lot of positive enthusiasm from other members for beginners like me.

But everyone will go through it to feel or have felt sorry about all of this. You must continue to learn from your regrets because life will always be about regrets and minimizing what you will experience later. so all you have to understand about what you have regretted.

I know that feeling very well, my first bitcoins I had in 2016 and unfortunately I sold all of them back in the days. It was my biggest trading mistake to not stick around. From time to time I think about how many bitcoins I had and how much money that would have been today. Such a thinking is of course not really fruitful and only makes me feel mad. It's hard to accept that we can't turn back time, the only thing we can do is learn from our mistakes and not repeat them. I am also happy that I am invested in bitcoins now and I am never going to sell all my coins again. Don't make the same mistake like me guys and stay invested, otherwise you are going to feel bad in a few years.

As long as the OP realizes that the current $23K is -66% of ATH 11-10-2021 then he just needs to convince himself to buy as much bitcoin as he can afford.

People say, DCA is the best strategy to buy at the moment even though bitcoin price has increased almost 40% in the last 30 days. But I believe the price will continue to increase in the following months because so far for one year period the price position still shows dips -39%.

These two comparisons must be considered, and of course I can convince myself to continue to accumulate for 2023 and beyond.

You know what's the worst thing an investor can do in his investing journey? Not investing at all when people are scared of investing into it.

You're a newbie at that time and it's quite normal that newbies have some doubts into their minds when they see something for the first time especially when there's money involved. It's normal that they will be afraid at first because their hard-earned money is at stake.

As for you, no need to be furious about. There are some investors out there who also experienced the same as you are. They also have doubts in their mind when they first heard about Bitcoin. Anyway, you can't bring back the past anymore. The only thing you can do is to just move on, move forward and continue accumulating. After all, you started it already. Just continue what you are doing and for those newbies out there, OP said to invest now, but that doesn't mean that you will invest without any proper knowledge at all. Do a research first before investing.

While the bitcoin price is still at the current price level, we can still get a decent amount of bitcoins to serve as our future investment so we must use this opportunity in our favor. Don't just look at the past because we can not change it but we still have a future that we can make better than now. If we want to try at present, we will see how the results will be in the future, which will certainly give us good results. Those who bought bitcoin at a low price a few weeks ago will not panic anymore because they have managed to see temporary profits so these profits will increase as the price increases later.

Yes, well said. bitcoin should be associated with freedom, not with debts that need to be repaid, especially if after you buy bitcoin the price goes down. I don't know how the price of bitcoin may rise in the future, but I like to regard bitcoin as a good investment, perhaps primarily as an investment in my freedom. A bull market should start relatively soon, which is always a lot of positive emotions. )

Yes, I quite agree with what you said. if we buy for the long term then today's price is not quite expensive or can be said to be quite cheap. because it is still far from ATH. and I think it's lucky enough for us to enter at this time and I'm lucky enough to have accumulated when bitcoin was under $20k USD. because in the next year I'm pretty sure we're all going to feel miss to see the prices now. because it is possible that in the coming years the current price will be quite difficult for us to meet again.

Most of us have similar stories as the OP's, well, let me not try to generalize anything, i personally have a similar story, most especially the being so poor, to the extent of not having extra money to gamble on something I am not so sure of part.
In my case though, I never doubted Bitcoin when I discovered it in late 2015, I've been victims to lots of Ponzi scheme scams before then, but when i discovered bitcoin and followed it for sometime, i was so eager to invest in it but the problem was that, there was no money, then, the price of bitcoin was a little above $100 I think, i was working a 6 to 7 job in a factory back then, but i could barely live on what I earn as salary, talk more of having saving or extra money to buy bitcoin as I desired, I resorted to earning bitcoin for free through faucets, it didn't take long before faucets became obsolete as the price of bitcoin began to soar..

Long story short is that, I regret not having the financial ability to invest in  bitcoin when the prices was really cheaper, but one thing i am thankful for today is that I am here today, and from the little money I've made, never will such an opportunity as this pass me by again, except I did not see it on time.

Well, there cannot be any regrets... if you do not have the money to buy bitcoins. Also, the biggest mistake people can make ..is to buy bitcoin with debt. I worked a second job to be able to buy bitcoins back in the day, when the Bitcoin price was about $400 per coin, so my rewards from the future profits was earned with sweat and tears. 

Also, Bitcoin should not be seen as an investment... things can turn bad very quickly.. and then people can be stuck with coins that are valued at $10. I invested in the "freedom" that Bitcoin offered me.... 24 hour access to my own wealth... and nobody that restrict the things that I can do with it. (If I wanted to donate to WikiLeaks... then I could do it) 

Well yeah we all wish we had bought bitcoin sooner, and more of it etc etc.  I found bitcoin when it was at like $200 a coin, and I sure as shit wish I had bought a bunch more too, never sold any etc.  I agree with you, to buy some now so that you don't regret it down the road, but make sure that you have enough money to put at risk. Make sure you're on track for retirement and that you understand how volatile bitcoin is and can be.

No matter what the price is you can still buy bitcoin as long as money to purchase it. The more the best as you can gain more profit but always think of the risk also meaning are you okay lossing your money if something happen because we are always thinking about the profit and not the risk which make us blind and want to go all in but if something happen or the price drops a lot of them will be ranting and some will sell off it as they are scared. We should see both sides so that we can prepare on what will happen

I have seen many people just invest in Bitcoins to earn more and more profits. But they forget the fact that, in search of more profit, they make subsequent losses. They just wait for Bitcoins to reach more low price, but unfortunately, they miss the best price to buy and hence make losses at the later period of time. If you are able to buy Bitcoins at a price below 25k usd, then consider yourself lucky. Buy as many Bitcoins as you can and hodl it for some months. Then definitely you will see a profit.

That is true and while now Bitcoin is experiencing another correction. Then the opportunity to buy it now is the right thing to do. As long as the intention to invest in Bitcoin is always there, obviously there will always be efforts to achieve it even if it takes a little longer. Because without any effort it will never go according to our wishes, moreover working in the crypto space always has challenges that must be faced wisely by making more informed decisions.

A any investment you venture into that is everything then see that you will come get lost at all the investment so what I'm trying to tell you is that don't keep your mind to make profit in any investment you are eating because there is a possibility that you will regret about it so two things are involved in investment elder you lose or your gain or make profit from there investment

When you do have goals and targets in life then you wouldnt be able to achieve or attain it if you wont really be making yourself some effort and action or simply the hardwork.Lots of people had made out some regret
on the time that they had missed out crypto opportunity into those early years on which if we had just ride off on the train then we might had already cherish out millions of dollars of profits
but we know that we just missed out that golden train.Some do just easily move on and still trying out their best to deal with this market but there are people who are hardly be able to move on
because they've been always thinking about those opportunities that had been past up.

You can't convince all newbie of this possibility, but I know those with experience will do it for the long term.

Many new investors come to invest in crypto, especially in bitcoin. They seem inexperienced and just buy without knowing what the risks are. Even they don't know much about how to store their bitcoin safely so centralized exchange becomes their repository. The FTX case should teach them an important lesson about what's the point of having custody of their bitcoin, so it's not just about the money and possible profit, but also about how one can keep them safe.

I would recommend experienced people to buy and hold, while I would recommend new people to learn and understand the risks first before buying and keeping. Even though right now bitcoin is still at low price, they shouldn't buy without knowing anything.

It will never be a regret if we are investing in Bitcoin moreover for the long-term purpose because exactly, Bitcoin has a cycle that will bring this coin to its bottom price and then rise up to reach a higher price in the bullish era. What we need to do is by understanding the right time to sell the coin if we have them at the right target price. We have proven how many people are being successful because of their patience in holding Bitcoin for so long. I was not regret was not here since the past time when the price of Bitcoin was still very cheap. Because we always have our own era. What we need to do right now is by getting a much better strategy to hold more Bitcoin investment again because the price right now is still that affordable.

People always have the mind of something better than the other. Humans can't be satisfied when it comes to wealth. Based on the understanding people will be ready to take risks. Regrets shouldn't be the end, because we just feel bad of missing the opportunity. So rather thinking the future is is good to look for the right moment and invest at the right time.

As an early bird, you are enjoying your profits. But I think you of all people should know better that this is not very ideal to tell someone what to do with their assets and when or how to.

Without the proper knowledge, they will end up in the dust. There's a saying that, If you learn something on your own, then you will never forget it. You show them the path, you let them know that if they become successful and reach the end they will be rewarded to push them for the first step. But it's totally up to them whether they want to follow the path or not.

I have seen some members of the forum regret not having bought before, but that is like nothing, many regrets can be avoided and that can be right now, let's just do the math, if we buy 1 bitcoin now, the bitcoin ath was close to 70 thousand dollars, and it will most likely rise to that price level and it may go up more because the bitcoin rises are very high, it is possible, but if it rises to a level of 300 thousand dollars and it was bought for less than 25 thousand dollars, that is the best investment of life, there is no need to regret, you just have to act and that's it.

We don't know that it was an opportunity because if we only know then we will grab it immediately. Many of us who are old timers are lucky because we experienced a second chance and embrace bitcoin before it first booms on the year 2017. Although we already saw that BTC can pump, we can't help but still be surprised of what it had showed on the 2017 bull run.

For those who came recently in the scene, it is not too late yet for them as there are more expected pumps which can be bigger than on what we experienced last time. Investing earlier doesn't mean that you will not regret it anymore. Of course you still can if you lose your investment. This is why continuous learning is also important and not just the timing.

Bitcoin lessons aren't cheap at all. If I have learned something important about it is to not look back because we will regret all those missed opportunities. And our only option is to make a plan for the future.

I think we are still in time to join the party, and I will be late for all if bitcoin goes over $100k. Because right now getting 0.1BTC isn't that hard at all, but in some years, it will be hard, and you can mark my words about it.

I also don't want to have regrets in this case, namely bitcoin investment. so I started accumulating since I first got to know Bitcoin. But my regret is that I spent years too busy with my real-world job. and I regret not getting to know Bitcoin earlier. But luckily I started investing in bitcoin during the bear market. I am now trying my best to invest more in bitcoin. because well I don't want any regrets in the future. But I also prepared backup scenarios. and my preparation is that I also invest in other things such as property and so on.

Sometimes we ignored opportunities because we never notice the value of that thing until the time has come that booms out and get surprised. That is the reality of Bitcoin, many people never thought it was a profitable investment because most of us think it will just die. Most of us think negatively and doubt, it gets no attention, and some spend it like no value. But look at now, those people are regret and blaming themselves. Too late to realize but at least we have opened our minds and seen the positive contribution of Bitcoin to our life today and in the coming years.

People will regret it if they see what really happened, so people now who see how bitcoin can grow and attract the attention of many people to join immediately. And now that bitcoin has given its last ATH, many people are starting to invest, but unfortunately, they are investing when bitcoin is at a high price and are not ready to see a downturn occur. And when the price goes down, they even say that bitcoin is a scam and immediately sell it and never think to invest in it. If so, it is their own fault.

I believe that even if you go back to the past and you forget everything that is happening in the present, meaning that you do not know about the future, you will not choose to invest in bitcoin at that time. Simply put, people feel nostalgia for the past when they see the present, if bitcoin crashes, they will say they were right not to invest bitcoin at that time. People tend to be reluctant to accept the new, but will regret seeing it succeed in the present. That is human greed.

That's what everyone says about purchasing bitcoin or other things that are worth much more than before but this feeling of regret won't pay you anything, the only thing you get when you feel regret of not investing sooner is a bad feeling and this bad feeling will affect your future decisions in the market. Obviously, if you or anyone else invested in bitcoin in the early years you could become rich without doing anything.
But instead of feeling regretful you should take a lesson from the past and try to use the chances the market gives you in the future it was not the only chance we got so still you can use the chance next time.

Many of us has faced the similar situation where we came across Bitcoin few years back and prices were also low at that time but somehow didn't pay attention to it and years later on when we realised what we have missed the regret and guilt factor is always there.But even if you know about it's potential and didn't invest in it then you are making a big mistake but I am happy that have invested small amounts in it for long term that will give me returns in the future.

It is never too late to invest in Bitcoin, and now is a great time to invest. Even if you haven't bought Bitcoin before, it's not too late to invest.
Many people have realized that Bitcoin is a great opportunity and believe in its potential. Investing in Bitcoin is also risky, invest within the risk you accept, and expect huge profits.

True. FOMO is a really bad thing that can lead to irrational decisions. Just learn, do research and do your best at the moment.

It is because you see Bitcoin as a scam and you have been discouraged from your thinking that it will lose your money.
In your case, For almost 10 years of seeing the market situation, I believe you already realized that Bitcoin is a great opportunity to earn more than from investing locally or even from being an employee. Might it be too late on your side not to change your mind towards Bitcoin but I think you still have the chance...maybe this time you can put courage on your self and be strong enough.

You should not regret what has happened, even though you haven't bought bitcoin before, it doesn't mean it's too late now. because today the price of bitcoin even though there has been an increase but not too high so there are still good opportunities to invest in bitcoin.
and your words are a motivation for all of us, namely don't waste a good opportunity.

Regrets are normal when having such opportunities and wasting them. The important is to not live thinking on past events.

Of course the profitability potential of bitcoin right now isn't the same of 2014, but it's still in time to start investing and accumulating some satoshis, so you and your past can make it up, and you can boost your personal finances once bitcoin becomes more expensive.

There is a time for everything, and it is very likely that you will miss out on the early investment, but the interesting part is that you will return to Bitcoin.

It is never too late to invest in Bitcoin because it has a bright future. Investing now can be an early investment in the future because we don't know what the future will tell us about Bitcoin adoption. If the rate of adoption becomes very high, Bitcoin will have a very good value in the world and people who invested earlier will be able to enjoy the moment.

we can see the development of bitcoin from year to year from several countries that have accepted and used the technology for the development of the digital age at this time.
naturally you know bitcoin since a few years ago but for some reason you don't want to know more about it.
and now you know it so willing to invest in it.
and this doesn't just happen to you, many of us are the same as your story..
maybe this is caused by many things such as fear, doubt, and disbelief or other things
and now you know what bitcoin is, so; congrats, you are one of the lucky ones not to ignore bitcoin.
invest because bitcoin is a long term investment... not now in the future is a bright future if holding it

Well, I still think that the current position is yet not correct to trade or open a position because the BTC price is still fluctuating and there is still no confirm signal to open a buy position at the current price.

More precisely not to regret, but rather to use if indeed now is the right time to invest, because regret is not to be remembered but to be made an important lesson.

The point I want to convey is not this problem, you have to understand bitcoin to invest, because if you only look at the price, I'm sure you will be disappointed again after the severe correction process comes, you also have to learn the risks not just the profit problem, when you start to understand the risks and other important things, that's when you can take a role in investing. Regarding the price issue, you don't need to worry, because the bitcoin cycle will definitely repeat itself in the process of rising or falling in price.

Opportunities are always there it all depends on how you see them. Same opportunity you had some years ago and didn't invest and later made you felt furious about it, that's the same opportunity that's available today only that it's in different figures now. What makes you feel the this same opportunity won't resurface in the next fews years again?
We shouldn't put pressure on people to invest blindly on what they have no clear idea about only because they have been giving an introduction to it. This is what coerce some few to take loan to invest and end up plunging themselves into much debt when the market direction didn't go as expected.
Opportunity comes in phases, and bitcoin is not an exception so no need of being furious if you have the money to invest today, another opportunity may arise tomorrow.

More lessons should be taught about investment in Bitcoin. Not all who is ready to invest actually know how to, and overconfidence in the little knowledge one has ain't going to do much other than cost someone losses.
Unless one has learnt the proper way to invest,  have good materials on the subject matter, have a good mentor always willing to put one through, it is unadvised to invest even if the fund to invest is available.

You have a friend like Michael who in 2014 gave you bitcoin awareness and you were scared to invest in it or you were not having enough for you to invest, life is all about taking risk in our decisions and when we are investing, we are also taking risk because we can't predict the outcome of our invest due to the economy challenges. This is how bitcoin investment is like, you are to take a bold step to risk investing in btc. I am happy that you have finally overcome your fear and have gotten bitcoin hodling for yourself. You are not late in investing on bitcoin because its benefits and volatile nature still remains the same ever since it was created till now, and it will still remain like that till infinity. Those that are scared of investing are the ones that are missing out.

Do not cry over spilled milk and remember that within 70 years, miners may compete to extract a block with the same value as the weekly payments for one of the signature campaigns in which you participate.

If you have spare money and instead of regretting the past, invest now, and forget about those coins for 30 to 40 years and then they may be your best investment.

If you go back in the services board, you will find that people used to give 5 bitcoins on easy tasks, and today it is impossible to collect that amount even if you worked for more than a month.

So easy to say about buy bitcoin so that we will not regret later but they forgot about many risk upon doing this. This is one of the reason why many newbie lose their money because they expect something big without realizing the danger for buying on wrong time.

To many opportunities to execute our buy orders so we should learn first how this works and many type of risk we can possibly face so that we can minimize the losses we encounter on our early stage participating on cryptocurrency earning phase.

This is just another thread about regretting that someone didn't buy Bitcoin when it was only worth a few hundred dollars, but what is the use of it when time cannot be turned back. Even if you had invested then, can you say with certainty that you wouldn't have sold 2 or 4 years later and that today you wouldn't still be furious that you did it?

You say "invest now?", but what about those who have no money, or who do not understand what they are investing in?

That's because they really don't know that there are bitcoins that can help them to make huge profits if they choose it as their investment. And unfortunately, they don't want to open themselves up to receive such information and choose to do what they have done before. And yes, they are not sorry or angry because they don't know at all and that's different from people who have seen the journey of bitcoin from several years ago but still don't try to join bitcoin. But after the price could go up very high, they realized that bitcoin could really help them but unfortunately, when they wanted to try investing in bitcoin, the price was already at a high price. And that keeps them from investing in bitcoin. If they decided to invest in bitcoin right away, it would not be too late for them, especially now.

There are millions of people who have missed an opportunity like you, not just you, but those people have no regrets or anger because they know that the future is unpredictable. And they fixed it by investing bitcoin as soon as they found out all about it. You don't need to regret or whine, you still have a chance to get started with bitcoin.
What I want to know is did you invest in bitcoin when you realized its potential or did you keep whining and not buy bitcoin thinking it went too high?

It's better late than never, but at the same time, invest what you can afford to lose, as there are still risks involved. It doesn't mean that you'll invest in bitcoin, and now you are expecting big profits since most newbies, when they read that kind of message or post, will jump to the conclusion that they will gain easy profit, but it turns out the way is very hard, there are a lot of ups and downs, and we just thought that it was always green.

This happened to many before you, I am also one of them. I got acquainted with Bitcoin somewhat early, around 2016, but I did not care much because I did not expect it to develop in such an amazing way as it is now.

I cannot say that I regret that I did not invest in Bitcoin at that time because it was difficult to imagine such a scenario, but in my opinion the opportunity has not passed yet, there is still plenty of time to invest more Bitcoin because the future is still open and we will witness many big peaks for sure.

I don't know what your friend did at the moment but likely he had bad practice on his phone that leaked what he was doing to you. I hope that he did gave you good introduction and security advice for your bitcoins. Maybe he did not do it because he failed to do good practice for himself.

When you understand about Bitcoin and have a right approach, investment, it is no longer a kind of gambling. Gambling with Bitcoin is for someone who don't understand it and only want to get in, bet in it and wish to get rich.

It is never too late to join Bitcoin. It is here to survive and to thrive so that everyone has many chances and many time to buy and accumulate Bitcoin.

You don't have to be mad at yourself for missing an opportunity, it not only happens to you but I believe there will be more than half of the forum members who have missed an opportunity like you including me. You should be angry at yourself if you don't buy bitcoin from now on, because now everything seems so clear and if you miss buying bitcoin again, your mistake is huge.

To be honest, I'd rather invest in bitcoin from now on than before, even though the current bitcoin price is higher but the future is clearer, and the opportunities are clearer as well. And for me, everything has just begun, we're still in its infancy, and there's still a lot of opportunity.

Investment in any form still carries risks, therefore we need to study it first before making a decision to invest, actually crypto investment continues to increase even though the government has not fully accepted bitcoin in various countries, maybe because the government has not fully accepted bitcoin making bitcoin investment quite floating, You could say that a floating situation like this is what causes reluctance or back and forth from trading and investing. I never blame those who don't want to invest in bitcoin, because investing in bitcoin requires a strong mentality and extraordinary patience.

If we change the mindset from fluctuating bitcoin prices, we are fine. we don't need to compile and pair bitcoin with any fiat, USD, Gold, or altcoin. I heard someone in the past, he doesn't need to pair anything, his mindset; bitcoin is bitcoin, 1 btc=1btc, so if we think like that, we have sure we'll be fine if the bitcoin price is back to $0.1, reverse, when btc price to be $1 million, it's just a bonus.

We just cannot blame those who are having hesitations of investing in this industry. It is a risky investment in the firstplace because of the market price volatility. Not all people are going through same circumstances; some could really afford losing from market price downfalls but most are not. We also have different investment capabilities concerning capital. What's best for those who are planning is to invest first on the knowledge to avoid getting too dragged into hopes of being rich from this industry. That would also help them to know where would they start and focus in this industry. Also, there's no such thing as late; the best time to invest is when you are financially and mentally stable. So be patient for yourself as well.

Many people feel that they have missed the opportunity or they're late into the market. Very few get opportunity to enter the market at the right time. We recently reached down to $17k and now we've bounced back. Taking it a chance entering the market is quite good than regret of missing chances in the future when people who entered the market right now enjoying financial growth.

Market is always subject to fluctuation and there is always bullish and bearish movement. We need to have a choose the entry point or else we need to invest regularly unlike the price as we were able to invest on the smallest denomination.

You mean you knew about Bitcoin long ago and now you are explaining to us how angry you are? I am very surprised that you are still able to remember the wallet address till now and think that alone has signify to us that you are genius. If that is the case then you will really made it in the crypto market because you are vast in comprehension and you'll be a fast learner.

Since you are already in the game that you don't have to portray your anger because we are already in the deep and you can use all your funds to buy Bitcoin so that you won't come back and regret why you couldn't buy at the dip.

Some people may stand to regret now why they never got aware of Bitcoin earlier to invest and make a fortune, but even if they had known about Bitcoin earlier than now, I believe they would have probably overlooked it like you did. Some one can possibly invest intoBTC now and regret it later unless they:

• Learn and gain some vital knowledge about Bitcoin technology and investment

• Learn about and understand Bitcoin volatility (not to panic during bear season).
  
  
• Learn the best wallet to store their Bitcoin.

• know how to safely secure their wallet phrase
  
  
• Keep their bitcoin off CEX

Every investment has risk, and some terms and policies can cause users regret if they are not early aware of the full details of what they are getting into.

You knew about bitcoin as if about 2014 and you didn't make  an attempt on it that wrong,if it were to be me I would have join it because I do like online invertement alot and moreover it bitcoin.
I don't think if this is any other investment forum that will promote if not for bitcoin,it has brought a great joy to me and that alone will make me not to stop investing in it.
When I was been told about online Invertement it was about Drive go and Mt5 that a synthetic index the deals with buying and sellijg if dollar through trading you dollar, and it was explain to well and I gave it a try and today am very about it.
But when I hear of bitcoin it was last year and when I got to know about it and how it works and with the way the bear market work I found out there alot for me in here.so I I should miss out of investing in bitcoin it miss I have miss out of everything. I promise myself never to feel regret about the risky in it but rather the profit it brings.

There were no first and last, or early and late when investing bitcoin for long term.
Bitcoin prices have improved this past few days so if you have the resources and courage to join the ride then fasten your set belt, just make sure you are ready to accept the risk of stress you will face later on and the betterment when bull get hype.

Life is full of opportunities. There may be an opportunity that passes in front of you now and you regret it in the future. You wish it was in the past to seize it. Therefore, do not regret the past opportunities and focus on how to identify new opportunities before they appear.


Don't forget that Bitcoin is still in the initial stages and we may see crazy highs soon.
All these investments were useless 10 years ago.

Ops you shouldn't be too hard on yourself not investing in bitcoin when you first heard about it way back in 2014, but then you are here and it is good that at least you have redressed your steps and you here trying to build a good knowledge before investing which is better than jumping on something you just hard from random friends.

My word to you ops is that you should invest only what you can afford to use and leave alone for a long time, and not to push in so much that you can't bear it all because you want to recover the lost time since you think you have missed out a lot since 2014.

^ Because there are people who don't get easily believe in BTC the same as me before, I have heard of BTC since 2015 but I don't what it is that is the reason I ignored it at that time, but after a year there is a lot of my friend talking about BTC until the such day I become influenced by them and I did not regret that until now BTC became a famous and very valuable asset.
Yes, it is not too late to invest, as long as you have money that can afford to wait for a long-term purpose, then, it is a good asset. People will regret will most likely seeing the price is on ATH but when there is a huge correction, it is always doubted.

You do not need to be furious with yourself about not being able to invest.
You were in an unfavorable financial situation and made a wise decision not to risk scarce resource on a high risk asset. It is not shrewd to invest when you do not ave sufficient amounts to spare at the time.

Invest as much as you can risk at the time.

in the end you are tempted by the luck of holding bitcoin in investing....
from what is said about the obsession with bitcoin from a technology or benefits that are offered in the future so that it makes you...
Invest in Bitcoin now so you don't have to regret it later.

You knew about bitcoin since 2014, went through 2 bull and 3 bear markets and never cared to come to the biggest bitcoin forum on the planet? Better late than never!

I usually don't tell people to buy now or regret, I'd rather make them consider all the pros and cons of owning a bitcoin. Once you think about it for a while you'll come to a conclusion that there's a lot of pros, so many you  could make a list, but only 1 significant con (not being able to turn your coins back into fiat without a loss if after you've bought btc enters the bear market).

I totally agree with you, my friend. Never do the things you will regret and if you do, never regret. I understand where you're coming from with the hesitation to invest in Bitcoin back then. BTC had a bad reputation and the association with the "dark web" and Ponzi schemes made it hard to trust. But as we both know now, it's a real digital currency with huge potential to replace fiat currencies in the future. It's true that there may be "lost trains" when it comes to Ponzi schemes, but a good project like Bitcoin is always a good investment. It's never too late to start investing and we should never regret not starting sooner.

I was fortunate enough to learn about Bitcoin before it became so popular. Similarly, I'm one of the idiots who saw this as a huge opportunity to make money, didn't think twice about it, and let it pass them by.
Back in 2014, I started my first full-time job online on Fiverr, and I had a couple of friends who were passionate about Blockchain and Bitcoin. It didn't take long for me to make a friend named Michael. We talked a lot about programming and new technology like IoT and AI most of the time. We used to play video games together most of the time when I visited him.

One day, after finishing the game, I took his phone to call my girlfriend, and then I noticed something on his phone. It appears to be
1BvBMSEZstWetqSFy5Au4m4GFg7xJaHVG6.

I noticed that he wanted to send it to someone. I was like, what kind of nonsense is this? He said it wasn't gibberish, then he explained everything I needed to know about Bitcoin addresses and blockchains, and his enthusiasm for the subject captivated my attention so much that I didn't want him to stop talking. But then I recall most of the Ponzi schemes that I fell prey to in the past.
The more he talked about it, the more Bitcoin appeared to be the better option for me. It was worth a shot.
One of the biggest issues I had that year, and it was the worst year of my life, was that I was very poor, and I didn't have extra money to gamble on something I don't know about. As a result, I concluded that I can't gambling on this.


I'm furious at myself for not purchasing bitcoin sooner. Though I'm a happy man now because I can now smile at my wallet.

Invest now, so you will not regret it later.
