Topic: Isn’t it better late than sorry? (Read 619 times)

If you are employed, or self-employed, or have any sort of income source and getting money regularly then there is nothing to think about at this point. Just have a small percentage of your total income dedicated to your Bitcoin investments and buy Bitcoin with it whenever you get paid, it's called the DCA method where you keep buying after short intervals and keep accumulating.

Remember one thing, there is no perfect time to enter the market because it's highly unpredictable and volatile, so you can't know where the market will go next. That's why, just buy in portions, so that you don't regret not buying at all if the price goes up and you can always buy more if the price goes down.

Diligence and caution are important when considering new videos as volatile areas like cryptocurrencies are of utmost importance . Seeking knowledge and guidance from the communities you are involved in is an important step toward making your own decisions. You have to use your past experiences to overcome your fear. Make the most of your Bitcoin experience. Investing should be done strategically.

A lot of people who  invested early in Bitcoin did not really make profit. Due to the price volatility of Bitcoin,  many withdrew their investments prematurely by selling at loss. No one should be pressured to invest if they are not capable financially and emotionally to invest as at that time. Although,  there is always a compensation to those who are willing to take risks and manage their risks for a very long  time. This compensation can come in the form of a very high returns on their investments. If a person invests in Bitcoin today and perseveres, he will still make good returns.


The feeling that others are far ahead of you in Bitcoin investment is a very wrong mindset. Those who started investing because others are investing sometimes are not emotionally ready for high risk investments. For any investment to be effective, their must be a decision that is backed by commitment from the investor. Without commitment,  the investment might suffer.

If you think it’s late, then just put it that way but the fact that you’re willing to start investing now, then definitely you’ll still have the opportunity to make significant profits in the long run. However, I want you to know that as an investor, you should not think if you’re late or not, because bitcoin will always offer various opportunities every now and then, it’s only the people who are doubtful whether to trust bitcoin investment or not. But if you have faith in bitcoin, and you know how big its potentials, then never lost the chance to invest now and benefit in the future.

Endless delays and not deciding where to get in when the price is completely discounted. There are typical people like this and in the end they enter at a price that could actually be better. This is also related to the psychology of each investor because it influences the decisions they will take. waiting and waiting until it says nothing is the best to start entering. Try to set a target and take it when the target is achieved.

  It is better to be late than not to be among those that paid the price to invest their money in Bitcoin and makes profits for themselves. The crypto market is very risky and that does not mean that we can't make profits from the market. All we need to understand is how to buy and sell, invest and have some adequate knowledge about Bitcoin and the crypto market.
 Making money from the market is all based on our understanding. There is need for for us to know what we are doing so that we can always benefit from our investment. It sis better to be late and make few profits than not to participate at all.

It is important you know that not everyone here owns bitcoin. Some are just in the industry looking for an opportunity to have a daily bread and not necessarily that they own bitcoin. The economy is so harsh and poor, for especially people from the 3rd world country. Even in the world at large, there is global inflation. It appears to me that in the future, people will only just work to be able to feed and not to save or make projects.
But then, anyone who has money to buy bitcoin should buy and not to be overly skeptical. There's no late comer in the industry and still the industry is still young as there is a great opportunity for continuity.


You mentioned 50-100 years. It is not difficult to mention. But in the real life, do you so much believe that Bitcoin will last till the next 100 years. To me, 10 years is big enough for very big thing to happen in bitcoin (-ve or +ve), that will change or extinct BTC.

This story repeats itself regularly, as soon as Bitcoin increases in price several times. And those who are not familiar with the cryptocurrency market and how it works, start frantically buying BTC, as they are afraid to be left out when the price reaches a new high. Why didn't you buy Bitcoin for 15 thousand dollars, and now you are ready to buy it for $48000?

You gotta change your mindset OP. Bitcoin investment does not matter who comes in early or late, because what matters the most is the moment you decide to invest in bitcoin. It takes courage to decide to invest due to its high risk and volatility, but if you have faith in your investment, you will never feel fears on taking that risk.

Evaluate yourself OP if you are really ready to take the risk and invest, otherwise quitting is not an option because that only means you don’t make a good preparation prior to investing.

If you still need people to convince you to invest in Bitcoin then you're not ready to invest. What's there to lose, it's clearly stated that you should only invest what you'll capable of losing. You don't have to invest everything you have, just go with the little you can risk and relax so you'll also be comfortable hodling. There's already a sense of security when investing in Bitcoin, Bitcoin has a proven history. When it dumps there's every possibility of it rising again when the market turns bullish.

It's wired that someone will be on the forum and still haven't invested in Bitcoin, aren't you seeing all the advice ongoing on the forum and I'm sure you'll also be among those giving out the advice to hodl Bitcoin. Just buy the least you can afford, instead of buying that bear this weekend put that money into Bitcoin and hodl. Nothing is too small, your $10, $100, $1000 and so on investments can change your life forever.

You shouldn't be scared of risking your money for a better future, it doesn't matter how many times you have been scammed in the past that's making you scared to trust Bitcoin but you have gotten to the final destination of an investments that can guaranteed a better future for you, just invest and be grateful you did.

I understand what you're trying to say, yet I don't. You don't own any bitcoin and are looking for a sense of security, which bitcoin provides. You either believe in bitcoin or you don't.
You should understand that it doesn't matter how much bitcoin you have. What really matters is how much of your wealth you've allocated into bitcoin. If that's 15 fine, 5% fine again, but if it's 0, it means you don't believe in bitcoin but in fiat money. When a person owns 50% of fiat money and 49% of real estate and only 1% of bitcoin it means that person doesn't believe that bitcoin can outperform traditional assets, but in fact it not only can but it does!

Smart people say: get at least 1% bitcoin allocation and you'll be fine. Try this and tell me how you did in a year or two.

Honestly, no one comes late with bitcoin investment. But it’s only a matter of now or never, so if you want to invest, do it now so you won’t be regretting in the end wishing you had invested earlier. Bitcoin is a long term investment, so one should always think it as a long term goal rather than a short term one. And while bitcoin halving is just around the corner, so better prepare for it and set your investment now, otherwise you’ll say the same words again and again if you still don’t invest.

Almost all of us here on the forum would not be anymore at that time, it's a ridiculously long time away. I wasn't suggesting you wait a century before you profit from your investments, rather I was suggesting you soon out and realize that if you factor in how much longer Bitcoin would exist, you are still among the early adopters now.
If you focus on the now, it looks like you've missed the train, but it's just getting started.

Fun fact; if you hold your bitcoins long enough and accumulate enough, you'll only need a tiny percentage of it to "enjoy your investment".

Don't be sorry but keep moving forward and then you will get what you want. Yes sometimes comes up to our mind that it's too late to invest because some people already made more profits while we are waiting the right time to buy.  And yes that's right sometimes it will come up to our mind. But we must always remember that there's no need to Rush if other can make a profit then how much more ourselves they to do that. So we must have little knowledge on how to handle it investment in order to make more money in the future.

It's not even with Bitcoin alone. In a few years from now, many are going to realize how they threw away generational wealth they would make in altcoins in this bull season. Airdrop hunters are getting these tokens now and thinking they can't be worth more that what many of them are selling them in panic now. But they will all be disappointed the same way most early Bitcoin adopters who sold off prematurely are.

I think so too. Bitcoin left that region a long time ago and isn't likely to return to it no matter what bearishness the market observes.

Well dont overthink even if you have or had a rough experience with bitcoin. You must overcome those and start anew. Well not everyone got a good start with it specially those who thought that the price might dump or didnt see it pushing to ceiling. Itsnnot about if we enter on the right time or not but learn how to ride and engage with market without much confusion or fear about bitcoin tech. Im not sorry for selling some at least I be able to boost my porfolio witht he help of bitcoin.

It is not the wish of the bitcoiners to see you losing in your investment, but you need to learn very hard to avoid anything that will make people to tell you sorry for your loss but if you set your goal very well in the right season, you will surely achieve something good that will make others investors to congratulate you.


Don't forget that you have a choice to make in the course of your progress because, anything anyone here is trying to do to help you to improve higher, but you can decide to remain low by not doing what is giving other investors progress in that particular investment.

I agree with your statement.

It really depends on how you view cryptocurrencies as a whole. During the early stages of cryptocurrency, only a few believed on how it could potentially skyrocket in the future. When most people have realized that there was an enormous opportunity as an investment mechanism, lots of people joined and invested money without even fully understanding on what they are investing on.

To cut the long story short, those people who quickly invested without knowing what cryptocurrencies really are pulled-out their investments when they saw that the prices plummeted; while others who believed in cryptocurrencies HODL their investments and profited when its price skyrocketed within a few months after that.

The conclusion here is that you view cryptocurrencies more than just an investment- see it as a tool that can be potentially used by countries by integrating it into their financials.

We keep learning every single day, and those who take the information they get very seriously are going to milk the profit that comes with it. 

Right now, you have been able to make a profit in the past by investing in different cryptos, and currently, you don't hold any bitcoin, which is not something you should regret.

What's only required of you now is to start from wherever you are, start investing what you can, and join the moving train. It's only when you fail to grab the opportunity now that it's at your fingertips that you might end up regretting it later in the future.

You will not feel that if you do a further more research about the past and current price especially the volatility of bitcoin price in the market. You find those good times to enter so its important for people to do a lot of research before taking some consideration to invest so that they would not think about coming late because price is expensive but rather you have guts to grab your own bitcoin at whatever figures are now currently showing.

There are still a lot of opportunity to offer while market is so volatile that's why instead of being feel sorry for yourself much better for you if you take good action and decision regarding on your plan acquiring of bitcoins so that you can enter on good position and next to that is you wait for something good events to come where bitcoin price pump since with this for sure you can possibly start to gain a profit.

Yes, that's right, consider the risk that Bitcoin's value will disappear when the price is corrected, but if you look at the Bitcoin annual graph data drawn in a straight line from 2009-2024, you will be surprised that Bitcoin's trend is always going up and up, I don't know where it will stop, but in my mind I still have a long way to go to achieve bitcoin, if my strategy is to always accumulate bitcoin, I will put 10% of the salary I receive into bitcoin. if the correction is deep I will increase it to 20%. I don't care about its value against the dollar, but my number of bitcoins continues to increase. By the way, this is not financial advice, this is just my strategy, DYOR

I have always recommended that there's never a time that's too late as you can start almost anytime and still be in time because no time is too late the only time that's late is when you are waiting to start tomorrow but if you start today it might not be really late as there's still so much you can still achieve with that which you started today, if you start today, by the time Bitcoin starts it's next bull run, you should be in profit that's if you start today but if you wait till tomorrow then Bitcoin will be higher than it is now and you may not nbe able to buy or you will buy less for more by then.

Like I have been saying all along it's never too late you can still buy now and be profitable in months time and you  will be proud of yourself that you did bought Bitcoin now but I'd you keep waiting the more expensive it will get and beyond your affordability.

Nothing a man start now that is too late it might be that, that is the exact time God wants it for you there is this saying that goes this way had I know always come at last, though for I have been hearing about Bitcoin, about this forum for some years now but i needed to have more knowledge about it before jumping into it to avoid some unnessery lost now I have gotten little knowledge about it and that is why am also here to know more about it and am happy that I did and I know is never too late.

I agree. Its really not too late to get in the game now.  Sure, Bitcoins glory days of crashing down to three or four-digit numbers are likely behind us at this point but that does not mean you still cant slowly build up a position through dollar cost averaging or bit by bit out of your savings.  Even starting today, youd eventually find yourself sitting happy on a little pile of sats in the years ahead.  No need to wait around until it feels too late and regret sets in and  the time to gradually accumulate is right now while this thing still has plenty of upside in my opinion.

Since it's never too late to invest, if I may comprehend your point about feeling sorry for yourself. However, I believe that now is the ideal time to purchase a large quantity of Bitcoin in order to reap the rewards of massive profits down the road. However, given that you are still a novice, my suggestion to you is to make sure you are knowledgeable about the investment so that you can confidently afford it.

Furthermore, many failed when invest because when some people invest, they begin to feel pessimistic about their ability to make money with that kind of money, for example, they should be holding out hope that they will make enormous profits from the Bitcoin they purchase, but they end up making poor decisions that's what cause some people to lose a lot of money, and that is why many of people's here always given advice that we should using the amount of money we can afford to lose.

That was a very good poem though - in all, I'd say I didn't understand what your point was when you said you needed help not to be "sorry"

Bitcoin isn't something you'd just jump into, without having a pre-knowledge of what it entails... There's alot more to do than just sinking in money to buy off of some piece of coins. You don't sound like you've known way too much to begin to HODL; AFAIK, it's not about the number of years you've spent on BTT forum that guarantees your experience in the system. Read more about how safe those coins could be, before thinking of getting 'em.

Believe me, after ten years, people will feel sorry why they haven't bought Bitcoin in 2024. So I can say it's not too late for Bitcoin, actually. Don't expect Bitcoin to dump $3K again. Global inflation is too high, so everything has become costly right now. So I don't see any reason to dump Bitcoin hard. The best way to accumulate Bitcoin is through the DCA strategy. You can still accumulate from your savings. Believe me, it's still not too late, so there's no question of being sorry if you start accumulating now.

In my opinion, there's no such thing as late when it comes to bitcoin investment. There are people who ask if they are too late to invest in bitcoin when the truth is there's always a chance to earn profit even though they invested in bitcoin years later. There's nothing wrong with it if you are not investing in bitcoin and also when you plan to invest. It's all up to you if you are willing to invest your money or not. This is the one thing I can tell you is that you should invest what you can afford to lose on what time you want to invest or not investing at all. If you feel that you will regret it in the future then you should try investing some of your money and maybe you won't regret it in the future.

Each person has their own phase and time in Bitcoin. Sometimes, we really understand Bitcoin and really want to invest, especially during the bearish era and Bitcoin prices are at their lowest point yesterday, but it turns out we don't have the funds to do it. Or maybe someone else has the funds but his desire to invest in Bitcoin is not that big, so he hasn't done it either. This won't be a big problem actually. This would be much better than if we were new users and had just found out about Bitcoin from a friend, then decided to follow suit and invest in Bitcoin without understanding anything about it, then hoping to get very high profits as soon as possible. And even if we don't know the price of Bitcoin it's very volatile. Then in the end, because of someone's ignorance like that, because of their enormous desire to make an instant profit, in the end they fail because they panic and their assets drop momentarily.

So, this is the importance of preparing ourselves before investing in Bitcoin, not only financially but also in terms of understanding, knowledge and mental readiness too. because after all this is something that still has risks and we have to really understand the risks. Make sure you are ready for everything so you don't regret it. And you don't have to feel burdened or heavy because you haven't invested yet and other people already have so much. You have your own time to do it when you are truly ready. When you really have the amount you can afford.

Well, if you think you are certainly late from bitcoin investment, you are very wrong on that. When it comes to any type of investment, no one is late even in bitcoin. There are still a lot of chances to invest and grow your bitcoin portfolio since bitcoin investment is still at its early season. Unless if you resort into procrastinating things like bitcoin investment, then you will definitely lost all your opportunities to invest because of your wrong mindset.

Bitcoin investment is not a do or die, but if you don’t see huge potentials in bitcoin in the first place, you will never come to prioritize it most of the time.

Having just a sense of security is not enough, you also need to have the knowledge of security. Many people actually thought their bitcoins would be safe but after investing they discovered that they had to put in extra work to ensure that it is not stone by scammers but lost by simple security mistakes. To avoid being sorry, never joke with security knowledge and the tips that will follow. Bitcoin Scammers are creating new methods to scam people who just have a sense of security for their bitcoins with no or limited knowledge on its security.

You have just said it all but the problem is that they will not hear. People always think of failure on something they have not even tried. How can you always compared people who failed bon some things not know that grace differs. There no time that is late to invest on Bitcoin., investment on Bitcoin is like the popular saying any time you wake from bed becomes your morning but it will be very bad waking at the wrong time. The problem of indecision have course many failure on society and have bring many into poverty, that is the reason I take time to write about this indecision on the thread, the best is to start on Bitcoin now and rejoice tomorrow all you need is to read and gathered knowledge on how to buy and hold and other things that can help you allot is already at the pin post.

OP, what you're feeling is relatable, and don't think you're the only one because not everyone here will want to open up about their problem if they know the solution is only known to them. Indeed, it is better to be late than sorry. You are not late, and with your knowledge of bitcoin, your investment will not lead you to believe that you will lose your funds. Don't assume that everyone here has a large amount of bitcoin in their savings; instead, try to accumulate as much as you can as soon as possible.

Going straight to the subject matter “Bitcoin” without beating much around the Bush, Bitcoin is pretty still cheap, even though most of the gains were realized by the early investors who invested when Bitcoin was still way cheaper and trading below $100, But still, I would rather be late than hear the story, basically miss the whole thing, and after all no one can tell if the party is way too late to join right now  because fast-forward back to when the price was trading between $1k-10k, people still think they were late too and today look at the price that Bitcoin is currently sitting on.

It's better to try and regret than not try and not regret. I adhere to this point of view. Although I think it’s better when you try and you don’t have to regret what you did.

Rather than watch from the sidelines at bitcoin and torment yourself with doubts, it’s better to try. It's not entirely too late. It is not necessary to mortgage a house, property, or grandmother’s pension in order to purchase bitcoin. This can be done for a small amount. This way you will dispel all doubts and get rid of regrets.

That’s what scares me, for my being cautious and skepticism not turn into procrastination and which becomes a huge setback on any potential investment but,
I like the idea of learning in practice. It would be a building by experience although, mistakes might prove costly. Still, it’s an idea I would look to practice.

Sometimes the wait can turn into an eternity, and the person will still doubt whether it is time to start or not. There is no need to take risks by investing all your money, but there is an opportunity to learn everything in practice, understanding day by day whether you need to take further action or not. Knowing the theory is important, but practice will make you one of us.
You are on a forum about Bitcoin. Don’t expect anyone to dissuade you, but you should and can check everything from your own experience.

These type of losses do happen more often especially if you are dealing with investments that are not real or genuine and you failed to find out on time, or if you are too greedy to take profit as soon as possible thinking it will be bigger with little time. Losing profit or your entire investment is also possible in cryptocurrency especially if you invest in altcoins that did not have future; some altcoins are just build by selfish set of people just to gain the trust of investors and go with their hard earn money, so they will make promises that looks real, once they get what they want then the go with people’s money, therefore avoid them.

You are not too late mate, this is another right time to invest if you will be able to hold your Bitcoin for long term. Since you made mentioned that you have knowledge about Bitcoin earlier, I believe you know how important it is and how promising it is in the future, therefore worry not about your Bitcoin. Invest them in a non custodial wallets and avoid leaving them in the exchanges wallets.

a bitcoin investor cannot expect that his investment will always be good and profitable, there will definitely be a time when his investment can drop and he will lose part of the value of his investment in bitcoin. that's why it is important for an investor to understand how to invest in bitcoin and reduce potential losses from it, either with a stop-loss or investing over a longer period.

if they already understand how to invest in bitcoin, they should be able to take advantage of the volatile nature of bitcoin and this will not make them more worried, because they understand how to deal with this and are ready for all possibilities.

I think what @Upgrade00 was trying to explain is that Bitcoin is still at its infant stage and will keep becoming more expensive as the years go by. Anyone who can buy Bitcoin within these years will make more profit and people will view them as lucky people.   

I don't always blame people for not investing in Bitcoin because many people are not aware of it. Many people would have invested money in it if they knew how stable and profitable it is. Some people are also scared of investing because they were scammed when they invested wrongly in the crypto industry. Other people are not investing because of lack of funds or procrastination.   

While I agree with almost all that you said as, the first part largely speaks of delays not being denial, having to miss opportunities even after meeting them and recognizing them is such a hard nut to swallow. Having to wait feels like the right thing but not the best thing, I don’t know.

Always missing opportunities and not taking advantage of them only delays what can actually be done faster. At any time you can invest in Bitcoin and see how the Bitcoin price goes up and down and try to reach a new ATH. Currently crypto prices are still quite stagnant and not moving quickly. still trying to reach the highest peak again. Buying gradually or doing DCA is the best choice now before the big bullishness comes.

Bitcoin is very volatile that is why i don't consider investing money in Bitcoin as the most important thing to do. Since bitcoin is very volatile getting more knowledge is the most important thing to have in bitcoin journey because lack of understanding can make you lose all the money you have in bitcoin.  Understanding bitcoin will help you to know which amount of money that will be best for you to invest in bitcoin. When people don't invest in bitcoin very well they feel they can invest all they have in bitcoin and still make good profit in bitcoin.
It is always advisable to invest with the amount you can afford to lose because their is no guarantee of having a smooth journey expecially as a beginner,  most times we get more understanding from the experience we come across in bitcoin.

It is better to always invest what you can afford to lose and never to be in rush, when you invest what you can afford to lose it is better than investing more than you can afford which of anything happens you feel too bad about it.

You are actively cautious, and that's not bad, focus on anything that will make you buying Bitcoin something you will be proud of, and not regret later.

Don't leave your Bitcoin on any centralised exchange, you are not a full time trader, move all of your bitcoin into a open source Bitcoin wallet.

Invest on a hardware wallet if you can, it's not a must though but it's great way to add extra safety for your Bitcoin and if you can't there are good software wallet too like BlueWallet or Electrum wallet.

Keep your recovery seed very safe, avoid sharing with anyone, and don't go around telling friends and family that you are now a Bitcoin holders it's not safe.

Don't give up, it's not too late, and make sure you are investing only what you can afford to lose in Bitcoin, tomorrow is not even certain so anything can happen, invest the max of 10% from your income into Bitcoin.

Very few of us who hold bitcoin today jumped to buy it as soon as we heard about it. In my case, I remember that the first thing I heard about bitcoin was in the news about MtGox, and of course I didn't dare to buy. It wasn't until much later that I got to know bitcoin and this forum, and that's when I bought. So, it's not too late for you either, OP, the only thing is that when you buy I hope you do it with a reasoned decision, knowing what you are buying and with money that you don't need. If you put that into an overall weath-building plan you'll put the icing on the cake.

There is no point in comparing your portfolio to other's portfolios, because they have no effect on your investment whatsoever.

As for being late or not - Bitcoin is likely going to repeat it's typocal market cycle tied to halvening, so it's very likely that now is a good time to buy. But make sure to have a profit-taking strategy too, because without it you might miss out on profit and then have to wait for years during the next bear market.

No one is late when it comes to investment with bitcoin. Know that there is no competition who will own a lot of bitcoin and who will own less. The real challenge here is how to maximize your investment profits and minimize your amount of losses. Although bitcoin will not make us profitable all the time due to its high volatility, but just learn to accept it and make it as your advantage to achieve your desired profits as volatility in the first place is not a disadvantage but an asset for all of us.

However, it’s always better to invest now than to never invest at all. Don’t let yourself regret in the end because you were waiting for the perfect opportunity to invest, when in reality if you don’t have the right one, then find that opportunity within yourself. Make your move and invest now, but learn to be cautious and be responsible of your investment as well.

Truths be told, when I saw 50-100years rating for enjoyment of your investment, it seemed a bit too far, maybe it actually is as it hot me thinking about my lifespan. I get the fact that having to invest isn’t always centered on you alone but still, I would like to enjoy a large part of my investment and not have to put in all the work and not enjoy most of it.

Coming down to the statistics you’ve got there, it’s just that simple but speaks volume of how clueless and how we’ve been able to appropriate value to just the most unnecessary things. Perhaps necessary to those cashing out from it but for the rest of the population that goes about it for fun and am talking about social media here.

Here is a huge opportunity in Bitcoin and it’s yet to be exploited by even 1.5% of the world’s people! Feels sad, I suppose I still feature in that group but, maybe not for long.

Everyone here has its main objective to own and invest into bitcoin. But saying you’re late already, definitely not, you’re just on time. But if you keep missing opportunities again and again, you’ll be left behind while the whole world is into bitcoin already. So always create positivity within you, you’ll definitely reach your goal and dreams with bitcoin if you take an action now. Now is the right time to invest, so buy and do the DCA afterwards.

Everyday is the best day to invest in Bitcoin. You don't need to have a specific period of time before you can get a greenlight to buy Bitcoin, although there are special occasions or events either present or future events that gives a good greenlight for Bitcoiners to buy, but this doesn't mean that's how it should be.

You can never know the debt or the height of Bitcoin, you can only tell that Bitcoin is dipping or it's experiencing a bullish trend but you can never know for sure the lowest or the highest it's capable of going at that moment, so saying you'll wait till Bitcoin dips before you can buy or you wanna wait for Bitcoin Halving or any other event to take place before you start buying them you're doing the wrong thing. If you have the money and the zeal to invest in Bitcoin then stop waiting, go ahead .

Do you mean you have no Bitcoin as your asset?
Why don't you try to buy Bitcoin, dude?
If you have no problem with your financial, you can try to have the Bitcoin by buying them on the trusted exchanges.

Well, it is not easy to convince someone about Bitcoin when they don't know well about it. I suggest you learn more about Bitcoin and how it can be a good investment for the future. Sure, you must understand about the positive and negative sides of Bitcoin. In this way you can decide to have Bitcoin or ignore it. We are here never force anyone to buy Bitcoin, investing in Bitcoin must be from own intention. If your problem is about the trust on Bitcoin, make sure you learn it very carefully first.

By the way, investing in Bitcoin won't fit with you if you are looking for a secure investment. Bitcoin is a risky investment although it is safer than altcoins. However, I can make you sure that Bitcoin is a potential asset because it can increase very significantly. As far as I know, there is no other assets that can easily increase high as Bitcoin in every 4 years.

Few years back and you'd see people telling the same things that we're all sorry because it's quite late. It's about on how you look at the situation and if it's not that late at all based on what you can see on the market and community, much better. All of us have given that time to stay and invest on Bitcoin while it was too early but I am sure that it was not just you nor me that have neglected it when we've got the opportunity to buy it at a nice rate. Moving on to the present time, don't feel sorry. What you'd feel sorry about is that after you've realized that it's not late but you don't do anything, you don't buy. So, act on, move on and live the present time. There's ample time for everybody to invest and this is your time.

It's good if you want to use the influence caused by the forum on you to start accumulating Bitcoin, but don't feel compelled to invest when you don't yet have the money to do so. It's also good that you are already becoming knowledgeable and familiar with the technology in the sense that you are already showing consciousness in terms of security and protecting yourself against scams.

Don't feel bad if you have not had any bitcoin yet. You might think that everyone on this forum has a large amount of Bitcoin in their portfolio, but you cannot determine if they actually have some good number or fraction of Bitcoin in their portfolio. There is usually a popular saying, "Don't judge a book by its covers." So, I will advise you not to start believing everything you read or hear regarding how much someone has invested or how much they are yet to invest. I can actually create a topic and say I have $100k and that I have used the money to acquire two bitcoins. If I tell such a lie, you will not know if I am lying or not.

The advice I can give you is that Bitcoin is a continuing technology. If you really have the determination to invest, you will surely put in some money, just little by little, depending on your level of income. If you don't have any real job you are doing, a business, or any form of sustainable source of income, then you need to involve yourself in one so that you can be able to get a daily, weekly, or monthly income that can allow you to start investing in Bitcoin using the DCA strategy.

Thats a really good point of view. I didnt never think this way before.
Actually, im also struggling at holding. My mind is set to trading everytime because i think this is the only way....

Hesitation is The problem of some people in making their decisions and taking new steps
You may be hesitant to make a decision because you cannot see the options clearly, either because there is a lack of information available about them or you do not have enough experience to evaluate them.
In many cases, the reason is your fear that things will not go as you planned in the future, whether this is due to circumstances beyond your control or your lack of confidence in your abilities and capabilities. It may also be because all options have equal advantages or even negatives.
Opportunities do not come every day. You must always take advantage of them. Yes, there is always a risk and this is part of the journey. Time passes The important thing is that you tried. To start the race in last place and reach the finish line is better than frozen in your place and seeing all your opportunities and your dreams goes away

You are still early. In 50-100 years, those who were able to get on it with thin the first 20 years would be viewed to have been extremely lucky to have caught on so quickly. From 2017 people have been complaining about being late to Bitcoin rather than taking advantage of the opportunity they had.

There are over 8 billion in the world and way less than1% of that are interested in bitcoin, owning some. You can still be part of the less than 1%.

You should not worry about how much BTC other members of this forum have, you must only focus on what you have in fiat and how much you are willing to invest in BTC, you do know that you don't have to buy a whole 1 BTC, as I got the feeling that you don't know about it. You can buy BTC for as low as $10. I know this is not going to make you rich. But this will at least not make you feel sorry that you don't have any BTC in your holding.

If you are thinking of investing in BTC an amount that would make you rich over night then bro please learn the basics first because people say holding is better and easy then trading but I warn you that's not so very true for everyone. Because holding in itself is not an easy task because in holding you have to control your emotions and that's the big issue in crypto trading. You should build your profile by doing DCA if you don't have funds to do lump sum.

If you've learned about the pros and cons of Bitcoin before now, it then means that is a good start for you and also given the fact that Bitcoin is not entirely new to you, I will tell you that it not late to invest in bitcoin at this moment, at best you can afford it little by little in line with what you're pocket can carry.  
Don't feel too sorry for yourself you just have to put yourself together and try to see how you can invest now for the future.
You've talked about how harmful it is to lose vital part of your investment, so you should get your mind prepared too about the volatility of the cryptocurrency market and also understand that as an investor, patience plays a vital role too.

Investment (either short or long) using wallet to hold bitcoin does not support  the idea of stop loss since its  not trading but it could be useful learning it as a short term investor, giving you the idea to sell your bitcoin  and this might not still help much  because you could sell and the market might pump again.
If OP Is then thinking of trading  it rather than holding then OP needs to learn alot in trading not on SL but all for of TA( Technical analysis).

Beware: Trading Volatile coin like BTC  is risky but might be profitable if well Snipped, you can  try DCA strategy of buying BTC  to minimise your risk which falls under investment

I once had this feelings when I finally got to know how far Bitcoin has gone and  I always wish I was there with those who got involved from the on set. it's better late than sorry, so i jump into it and I think I'm gradually fitting in so you too can do it.

all you have to do is make use of the link provided above and dig in, along the line whatever you don't get you can come back here to ask questions or better use the forum search engine to see if such issues has been discussed before.

If you have job you can start small with DCA and eventually you will hit your target and never be sorry again.

That's why those who believe in themselves and the asset they are investing in early, makes more profit than those who joined later.
If you join late, you are just exit liquidity for those who were first or before from you. That's how it works.
It's better late than sorry if you are not aware of the fundamentals of the assets your investing in.

Bitcoin is very volatile without knowledge about Bitcoin you won't know if it is a good investment or not but I'll give you some links about the history of Bitcoin that can give you insight about Bitcoin check this link below.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_bitcoin

Also, take note of value history so that you know that Bitcoin price always reaches a new ATH every 4 years.

Since Bitcoin is too volatile there is no guaranteed way that you can always make a profit rather than lose but if you have some knowledge about trading then study hard about how stop-loss works so that you can prevent losing all or a high percentage of your Bitcoin investment. You can also do DCA as suggested above which is always a good strategy in trading to recover your losses once it bounce back.

I understand your point OP, and it is not late for you to buy bitcoin. You can buy bitcoin with any amount of money as low as 10% of your income or 5%, since you are new.You can also set out an amount from your income that you know will not affect your monthly expenses, so that you can use this amount to invest in bitcoin regularly either weekly or monthly using DCA. This can enable you build up your bitcoin portfolio. Don't also forget that you are to invest in long term so that, it will limit the risk attached to bitcoin investment. If you gave the money you can start buying and don't wait because the earlier the better. Remember that you must have an income for you to be able to have a smooth bitcoin journey and hodli.

As said by my topics title,
I don’t wish to be sorry!

Sometimes, it’s entirely very hurtful, not just the fact that you might have lost a vital part of your funds or capital into an investment but, having the mind of being outsmart by whom ever or the system that works a specific field. Well, not the system as, it’s often impossible to beat most systems but, it just hits differently when you have a sense of security about an investment but still goes ahead to loose it all.

I just don’t want to be sorry!
Now Bitcoin is not entirely new to me, I’ve heard it come up a few times and only now have I built an increasing desire to know the pros and cons about it. I’ve had to invest in various things in the past, online and offline, have my share of profit and loss but, I so don’t want to loss. Especially a loss that might amount out of my ignorance, that would be most painful although, I get the fact that lessons would be learned from such experience on how costly ignorance could be.

Here I am, not a single Bitcoin tide to my name, am not so proud about it especially, being here where I just have the vague idea that, the members here just might have so much. I guess what I’m looking out for is a sense of security and some comfort that, it’s really better late than sorry.

Help me not to be sorry!
