I just console myself with the fact that many of the "early adopters" sold their coins for $10 or $100 even without realizing that if they just held them a year more they would could have sold for $1000 each.  We can learn from their mistakes.  Also, in defense of those that sold for $10 or $100, it was WAY riskier investing in BTC.  There was absolutely no guarantee that it would succeed, or that governments would not shut it down somehow (easier said then done I know but they could have made things much more difficult for us!).  Many hurdles have been overcome to get where we are now.

We are now on the brink of some amazing developments.  As far as I am concerned now is a great time to buy.  There is less risk then there has ever been for BTC to succeed and we are still very early in this.

Hopefully this helps.  Grin

if you're always late to the party, you should ask yourself what you did wrong and make sure you don't do it again next time. if you feel something will truly happen, more effort should be put into investing.  everyone has an idea, but not everyone acts on it.

We all feel late to the party with Bitcoin!  Just realize that very little people know about BTC in the world, even though it is priced at $1200.  Buy what you can afford to buy and then hold and enjoy the ride!  In the big scheme of things $1200 could be the best deal in the world.  It is hard to believe now, but when the price is $10,000 or $100,000 it will feel that way.

Everyone claims that they were "just about" to invest in bitcoin. Well, maybe not everyone, but many people I've talked to have said the same thing. Yeah, we all heard about it back in 2010 or 2011 but didn't take it seriously. The fact is, only a few thousand people did hear about it and bought some, and then what's even more amazing is that a few of those early adopters resisted the urge to sell and held on to them until the present day.  

Some people here will tell you that we're still early adopters and you're not late. I'm not sure about that; I suspect there is still a ways to go for bitcoin, but we're not going to see annual 1000% returns anymore. Not likely.

How about 3D printing? Maybe that could be the next big thing.



they are selling 3D printers every freakin place and lot of large printing suppliers and companies already setup distribution channels for it. I looked around already it's too late for that imo. Big corporations already buy from their established printer suppliers

its always about risk. if you cant handle to lose your money, stay out and come back in a few years.

Love this thread!
The OP should be dancing in the streets.  Bitcoin is at a VERY early stage.  Super early.  It will EXPLODE over the next 5 years as new companies develop the things needed for real people (non nerds) to use bitcoin.  Just buy a shitload of bitcoin now, wait 3 - 5 years, never work again.  Your real problem is: 'how do you convert everything you own into bitcoin today'? 

Stop fucking complaining, and buy all you can now. 

...or, you can wait 5 years and tell everyone how you were thinking of buying when it was only $1,200.


I am not complaining at all...Simply telling my story and asking for opinions.  Please go easy on me....or not lol...Thanks for your reply!

We won't see 1000% annual returns forever obviously, but I think we will see them again next year.

i just entered in btc, and feel like an early adopter  Smiley Maybe the btc run will not end up @ 1000000, but i would still be very happy if my btc ends up in the range 5000-10000  Smiley
I heard about btc when it was way less than 100 usd, but it seemed to me so much at that time...

Wow.... you could be one of the richest people on earth.  If only you invested in all of this!!!  Sucks to be you.  Buy BTC now, you'll be regretting more if you don't.

In a way, you are in the same situation now.

Yes, it has gone up in value drastically, but it may also continue to go up in value drastically.

Or it may fail.

You should come back to the thread in a year and tell us what you ended up doing. Smiley

You not only need to (1) be aware of an innovation, but also (2) be willing to risk your money and time at a moment when there is still huge risk and uncertainty.
Maybe for you (like most people) there has been a time when you fulfilled (1) but not yet (2).
