Topic: Looking back at the past, one of those statements gained respect over time. (Read 407 times)

I wish I got to know about Bitcoin as far back as when it was created. The Bitcoin-backed millionaires we see today are the ones who purchased Bitcoin at its super tender stage. It still amazes me how $50 worth of Bitcoin back then was so much. Today, even with thousands of dollars, people are still getting fractions of Bitcoin. And as we hope the value to keep increasing, one day, $100k may not buy even half a Bitcoin. So it’s not over yet; Bitcoin still has some heights to climb.

I did miss a few... I was aware of it in the past, but did not take the time to research on it. It is a pity, but at least we are ahead of normies
Well, many here also missed a lot of opportunities in bitcoin, even with the big lift in the bitcoin price, but that should not stop us. Even though bitcoin can provide opportunities, it depends on the people or investors on how they will see that path and how they will utilise it. The fact that you are still in bitcoin even if you don't experience the big turnovers means you are dedicated to earning and having a good future via bitcoin. I too, myself, did miss a lot of things in bitcoin. I can't say I'm late in investing in bitcoin; maybe I was just a recent investor in bitcoin for a few years. Even so, I still strive to earn from bitcoin, as there are a lot of things to do to earn, not just holding an asset. You can do a lot of things like trading, staking, flipping, and many more; you just have to discover and explore.

I don't know if you still know or know this man, but for me it was one of the memories when I first searched for information related to bitcoin and accidentally saw his analysis. I also used to think that what he said was ridiculous because, at that time, maybe my understanding of the banking system or the economy was too silly. The things he said at that time made me just think that maybe bitcoin is a ponzi project and hires some people to spread it.

This is just one of many cases where he had faith in bitcoin early on and is enjoying the most visible results in the wealth he has earned. It's just that through the story of this case, I see that I have missed out on many good opportunities due to ignorance. But even worse, the bitcoins I had earned before were also impossible. Look back a bit on the past, but don't be immersed in that regret, how we will approach this opportunity in the present and the future. And you, have you missed any opportunities with bitcoin?
We do all have that kind of regret on to miss out on buying Bitcoin when it was really that too cheap or not a significant amount. Just like in my case on which i have heard of about Bitcoin when im still in college in those years 2009-2010 on which i have been able to see some search results wayback and since the price is close to none, then i have lost my interest but have missed out that golden opportunity to buy ------

on that time and since my interest is really that something focused too much on research due to studies then i have just forgotten it out until i have meet up crypto space again in year 2015+ which the price
had already rose up to $200 as far as i remember on which that time it do really leave that kind of regret on what i had just missed.
Now that i do have the chance on acquiring but due to some needs then those bitcoins that i have earned on 2015+ have been spent on some needs on which i had missed out
again when that bull run hits on 19k. Now that another bull run happens on 69k then i had missed out again due to active spending.
Tons of regrets of those missed opportunities that i had committed but well there's nothing we can do but to move on.

Damn, this guy had predicted the future of Bitcoin 10 years ago. He kinda looks suspicious with all those pictures, bragging with private jets, expensive cars and luxurious lifestyle. All the online scammers brag about their wealth and success.
However, I wouldn't take his advise about buying 1 USD worth of BTC seriously. What was the BTC price back in May 2013? Several hundred dollars? If you have bought 1 USD worth of BTC back in 2013 and current value of this 1 USD worth of BTC would be 100USD at maximum.
I have had many moments, when I've missed the opportunity of making more money, but there's no point of feeling regrets. I guess that it wasn't my destiny to make lots of easy money at the earlier stages in my life.
We all have regrets when we were not able to appreciate and take advantage of early opportunities from Bitcoin, and for me instead of being stuck with all those regrets, why not use it as a good motivation these days to take advantage of the different opportunities that bitcoin has to offer. That way, we can still be profitable with bitcoin knowing there's no late when it comes to bitcoin.However, I wouldn't take his advise about buying 1 USD worth of BTC seriously.

However, maybe some of us have followed his piece of advice and live the best of their lives these days. Soon we will also be in their position. Patience and perseverance is the key.

To start with, flaunting such a luxury and expensive lifestyle online for someone who is given financial advice is not advisable. Many people might have a wrong picture of those successes; they might believe that if they just invest a small amount of money into bitcoin and hold it, they could sometimes be able to get a large profit that can get them as wealthy as their mentor, or even close to that, making bitcoin appear to look like a money-doubling currency or Ponzi scheme that gives 1000 times the reward.
For the regret part, I don't remember ever misusing any opportunity to buy bitcoin when I had the time, and I don't think about my past mistakes either, as I take them for what they are and also think about the negative possibilities that could have come of it, not just thinking in positive ways just because Bitcoin has made it this far. I know if there is no risk, there will be little gain, but then again, who knew the risk was worth taking back then when fewer people believed in it?
Join the train wherever you meet it and keep going; that's the idea. No matter the time, it's never too late to start on bitcoin.

He gained this from his very simple words....buy $1 worth of Bitcoin. He didn't say to sell your house to buy it...he said spend what you would spend on some candy, on bitcoin instead. I'm sure he wouldn't give an F about how it looks, he earned and got rewarded for being a visionary
He tried to help others along the way with a simple message, which is credible enough.For the regret part, I don't remember ever misusing any opportunity to buy bitcoin when I had the time, and I don't think about my past mistakes either, as I take them for what they are and also think about the negative possibilities that could have come of it, not just thinking in positive ways just because Bitcoin has made it this far.

You're right, regret is not worth paying mind to if we don't find constructiveness from it. What can be taken is to not be afraidnto put a small amount of money into what could be a great innovation, as that small and insignificant amount at the time might be life changing later.

It's not too late, but it is a bit late.

And you, have you missed any opportunities with bitcoin?
Yes, I'm into this space for close to a decade, yet I don't have btc as much as I would like. Major mistake I did was to hold onto alts until they went dead. It's my experience that alts give more profits than btc, for the simple reason that when btc rises everything else rises but one must remember to convert those profits into btc to secure them.

And you, have you missed any opportunities with bitcoin?
I followed the strong pump when Bitcoin reached its final ATH, but I released my Bitcoin first before the ATH was reached. a little disappointed and regretful, but I made a profit.and now I have got my bag back. collecting some in a trend that has continued to fall some time ago. and this time I wanted to make sure that I didn't want to miss any big pumps in the future. it could be my disappointment and regret again, but I hope I don't do it.
For some reason, when I look at the past, it makes my enthusiasm and confidence in Bitcoin increase a little. Maybe that's what some other people feel too.

Let us just say I watched 100s of crypto videos on YouTube at the time, and unfortunately too many crypto influencers I followed at the time were associated with scam projects which made me stop following these guys as they proved to be in the game for financial gain only, the last guy I followed was actually a bitcointalk member Ian Bala...something because he stood as an adviser for a good project I followed and was quite influential 
That was Ian Balina and Suppoman who still run their youtube channels and made a good deal of profit by baiting newbies into pump and dumps and using their influence to rip off more. I think some legal troubles happened and they eventually lost their popularity by some niche membership groups still consider them as some messiah and follow their scum coins.What I tell newbies is not to follow social media personalities however good they might sound, because they are always doing it for the money and personal gains. Buy bitcoin if you have to, but dont blindly follow some "guru" - that is exactly what bitcoin's ideology abhors.

For sure if we watched his videos back then, we we're not that knowledgeable into Bitcoin or to crypto so we would only doubt his analysis. It's like a random guys spreading a word from an unknown token that only few people that are aware from its existence, which really sound like a ponzi project or a scam. But maybe some of the people that got curious from his words and researched what is really Bitcoin and took a risk, then good for them but there's no literally regrets as we only play safe back then since Bitcoin is not that look promising before. It would literally depends on the person's risk taking, cause for me money still money, I would not invest my money into something that I'm not that knowledgeable.
Unless someone really understood how bitcoin worked I think it was reasonable to be skeptic about the results that bitcoin could produce, in fact even now I am surprised of how fast bitcoin has been able to reach its current level of adoption and price.However now scammers are using that success story to try to promote their shitcoins, and people believing they can capture the same success and make money with those coins take the risk of investing in those coins, not realizing the difference between bitcoin and those shitcoins is the same difference between heaven and earth.
Scammers capitalize on Bitcoin's success by selling "shitcoins" to naive investors. They convince people that alternative coins can follow Bitcoin's path with their appealing narrative. You are right - the difference is apparent and profound. The difference between these coins is huge, and anyone entering the crypto must learn this.

One thing I don't want to be doing is been regretful, although sometimes I actually think back replicating myself as one of those early investor that actually Bitcoin during the time at which the price was very low but yet again I start to think many people who were at that time also bought Bitcoin but failed to hold because not much people actually believe that Bitcoin would get this much reputation and expansion.
I like to think that anyone who has missed out on this opportunity still has a second chance to make their investment count because the Bitcoin market still holds many opportunities to actually gain profits depending on how serious and committed you are in making this a reality for yourself.

We all deserve a second chance, especially if you have entered or discovered Bitcoin. You are not too late. As long as you have determination and dedication. You will definitely get a profit here, especially if you do long-term holdings.
It's a shame that I didn't hear about Bitcoin right away in 2010, because I'm sure even if I bought a little bit of it, I would hold it for a long time, because now I have others that I'll hold for a few years, and at the right time I'll sell it when I see that I have other dreams in life.

Well, that's to be expected because people love success stories and they all dream to be part of one so the scammers know this and so they try their best at social engineering and make it like their shitcoins are going to be the next bitcoin that will change the lives of the people that's going to buy and potentially buy their shitcoins and it works because we're addicted to the Cinderella stories of crypto people and we are so scared of regret that we always want to jump on an opportunity hoping to get lucky even though we know at the back of our minds it's not going to be happening.Well, we can't go back to the past and buy bitcoin at $1 anymore so now see the current price $34K and where it will be in the next 10 or 15 years, even if bitcoin grows 50% or less than its previous era still you can make ton of money and can tell such story to someone else.
No matter how much you sugarcoat it, people are still going to regret not buying bitcoin when the price was still at the time a measly dollar, plus you saying that won't dispel the fact that even if you buy bitcoin and HODL for a long time, you're not getting the value that the other people who bought at dollar per piece back then. 
October 31, 2023, 01:32:56 AM
I remember the guys and a few other similar stories which we can see popping up over social media whenever the bitcoin becomes bullish and the recent jump from $27K to 34K probably brings back him to the trending news.

That is also what I mostly sees about those influencer and advisers that keeps posting their luxurious living from what they claimed to be coming from their investment and success.because what I do see are they gained it very easy or they are scammers that taken money from others.
and for me those impression is very negative for attracting people.
why not just prove your success depending on how you are encouraging people? and not for luring them because of those fancy things tou earned.

actually I am using my past mistakes for reference to not make the same mistakes again.but regrets are long gone in mine because I know that there are more to come in the future if I will continue trusting this coin.

I'm probably the same as you who didn't really believe in Bitcoin at first. But fortunately I never suspected that Bitcoin was a Ponzi scheme. But I used to think that Bitcoin would only be as useful as points or coins in a game. So I ignored it and barely even remembered about bitcoin. But then I studied it and started to understand that Bitcoin does have a much better future and will be accepted by more people. So I won't feel like it's too late to start. Because looking at the current human population and compared to the current number of bitcoin holders, there is still a very large gap. So I think bitcoin will be much more valuable in the future. So starting to collect them now is what I consider appropriate.

The only way to benefit like this guy showcasing his achievement through bitcoin is when you Hodli for a very long and keep on buying frequently. This guy is a motivation that there is light at the end of the tunnel when you take the bold step to sacrifice and invest in bitcoin with patients for it to bring back good returns in a long period of time. Although, it isn't advisable to put pictures of yourself on the internet in regard to your bitcoin achievement because you don't know who is watching. I have observe that only long term investors are always proud of their bitcoin investment.
If it was 2011 you could have purchased 2000 coins dirt cheap. 1 dollar a coin in feb 2011.
Held them and sold a few hundred in Nov 2013 netting 200k+ and still have 1800 coins
do nothing but hold the 1800 coins til 2017 sold 200 in Dec 2017 netting just under 4 million.
leaving you with 1600 coins do nothing but hold them til 2021 sell 200 in nov 2021 netting just under
14 million leaving you 1400 coins.
You will never need to buy them if you sell 200 every 4 years at new ath prices.

When people begin to flaunt wealth in public, I usually suspect that they have ulterior motives. They know that people are gullible and can be enticed by these shows of luxury. They end up introducing a get-rich-quick project that ends up becoming a scam. If I had seen this video before now it would have discouraged me from investing in Bitcoin because this has been the strategy of many Ponzi scheme operators in my location. One of the reasons why I accepted bitcoin was because I was told that it was a long-term investment. People would join the bitcoin ecosystem without all these fake displays of wealth.
If you read all the posts in this thread, how many people noticed that the video is being used to promote some meaningless token - and how many will actually be caught on this bait and invest in that same token? People who have been on this forum for a while should know much better than to be fascinated by stories like this, which actually do not help anyone at all except the one who promotes some of his useless tokens through them.
Wow, the video's actually really popular, I'm surprised to see 4.3 million views.
~snip~
~snip~
Such a number of views in 10 years is not something spectacular, but the question is how many unique views there actually were, because it is no secret that today you can buy any number of views and comments.
