Topic: Remember when this looked like the end of the world? - page 2. (Read 664 times)

A lot of people who regretted at the time thought they were making the right decision because at the time, they would have made profit or cut their losses and whether it was a stupid or intelligent decision, they have been part of history and without their decisions I dont think we will have something to talk about. The same thing will happen to several of us who have some amount of bitcoin saved up and decide to sell simply because we thought we have either made enough profit or we are skeptical that the price will crash. The people of the future will then assume we made some foolish decisions but right now and now, its the best decision. Lets quit judging and saying they regret, its a gamble that played out wrong for them and hopefully they can live with it which is all that matters.

Much better not to looked back because the regret will continue to slap you specially if you didnt invest at that time.
Some people are lucky enough that they discover bitcoin when the value is too low and they buy more than 100 bitcoin but of course they sell it when the value is getting 5x of the original value. I think yes they hate what they did before but i think also there are some pioneer getting back and continue investing in bitcoin to make much higher income.

No one expected it and no one can really be blamed. The thing is that just like you, some of us actually wished we had been around back then, but the truth is that no one can turn back the hands of time and we just have to accept whatever comes in the long run. It is a decision and everyone has to be willing to accept whatever decisions they must have made.

It could be hurting though knowing you had the chance, and then you blew it, but that was the level of their own understanding at that time and no one could have seen the future and by the way that dude is on met!

I've only been in it for like a year or so and somehow regret all the money that I withdrew for expenses. It jumped up more than 10x the price it was when I first started.

Probably more people are selling their coins now because of all the FUD after it got to almost $20,000. It's now back to $16,000.

However it should be understood that this is just a beginning of BTC and something serious about it,people knew very little and were deeply skeptical and they probably think this is something that will not last long, and that possible profits should be taken as soon as possible.

Today the situation is a lot different,people know much more and expect a lot more from BTC-they became more aware of some things.Of course there will always be those who think negatively,but it is an integral part of life.

This reminds me when many traders were trying to take profits then when the market was going down and some of us were speculating that bitcoin price is going to get to $30 but now bitcoins is now above  $16,000 and many are still saying bitcoin has reached the peak. The reality is that bitcoin is still at the foundation level and a lot need to be done and holding for you to liberates yourself from poverty and slavery that fiat system has created for our society.

And just let's talk about anything for now and so on, forget the past and keep moving for a better outcome than before, and it's good to avoid things that are aimed at bringing down the other people.. because that could turns around to our self.

It was really their choice when they sold it and their decisions as well and you are right, no need feeling sorry for them. However, it is human for most of these guys to feel sorry for themselves, considering the fact that they sold when they though at $30 bitcoin was in a bubble state.

The truth is that we all make decisions based on assumption sometimes and because we cannot really tell what the future holds. If we all did, then most of us won't have made such mistake. Nonetheless, they could have been right or wrong, but unfortunately, it just turned out they were wrong and such is life.

Everyone have their opinion at a certain point in time. The same we have some people who are worried about the increase in value at this moment and then kept calling it bubble is the same way we had people back then and we are going to keep having a lot of them in the future. Even when bitcoin gets to $1,000,000, so many people will still call it a bubble even when it is glaring enough that it isn't.

It's not bad to accumulate bitcoins as long as you can afford to lose the money you spent on and don't put everything on bitcoin.
For those who are planning to invest they should know the risks before doing this.

I, too feel bad for selling a total of 1btc for $600 - $700 last year. Nothing we can do but to move on and learn from our past actions.

Lol, he didn't read the first post and only read the title.

sometime when i look behind of what have i done, i just smile to know of bad and good thing that i had done in my life
just like that people that sell in lower price for now but high at that time, i've done that too
i can't blame myself for that because i can't see the future
and also i have less faith and also less knowledge about it

history learn and now i have read so much literature about crypto
but i can say that i'm still an amateure in this big world of crypto trading

so i think just learn and keep walking

No one really expected this kind of increasing value of bitcoin rather than speculation about its volatility. Many of us really regret because of our doubts before and for not trusting its potential value. But it's never too late then to invest in bitcoin because this is not the end of its value and I believe that it will reach up to $25,000.

But that type of behavior is comprehensible, nobody knows the future and each person has their way of thinking. Although I think the same about them nowadays, probably very sorry or probably very calm due they already found truly sense of life goes far beyond of BTC. Greetings!

Lol. I can imagine the regret. More people should have been millionnaires right now if only they trusted bitcoin then. But who would've seriously expected things to turn the way they did right? Lol i sold btcs when it was at 500$ and that was last year. Never did i expect things would go this way

Wow, $15, now it even exceeded $15,000. Had I been that early and managed to stay in, I would have been a millionaire now. But then again, they probably never expected it to reach this point. They saw a bubble simply because how it was in comparison to the previous prices they saw.

I would understand why they feel disappointed though.


What are you on?

Don't bother with the thought of others. It's their own assumptions it's totally up to your own final decision. Back then bitcoin did not seem to have much potential becuase of it's scarce market cap but today it's soaring in poularity,price and demand.

You will never earn all the money in the world. So I think that constantly accumulate coins is a bad idea. How do you know what will happen tomorrow or in a few days? The price of the coins can be reduced and you will be left without anything that have accumulated over several years. You can randomly die (God forbid, of course). What is the meaning of life to save money to not take advantage of them.

I was around for the lowest of the lows and slow steady downtrend from the gox bubble. It looked like BTC was dieing dropping under $200 and then forever riding that 200-300 bottom level.. Things did not look good.. I even had a bit of coin at that huge crash..

It looked like the end of bitcoin...

I sold over half of what I had accumulated when it came back up around $300 to fund a project I had, and I was really broke then..
But I held on to a good enough chunk to do it all over again, build my coinage up..

This time I was able to build up about 3X as much BTC but I'll admit I sold about 1/4 of my crypto just under $10k when it wasn't looking like it as going to breach the barrier..

I regret that a bit but I did great things with that money for my family for Xmas..
If it goes to $100k then oh well I made a poor choice..

I have studied the BTC all chart on coindesk many many time and scene the same patterns over and over in it.. I wasn't around when it was $30 but I get the idea..

As far as not buying more coin when I could.. Well, I never really could..
Until quite recently I haven't been in a position where I could put money into BTC.. It's pretty poor around here with a terrible economy..
I never bought any BTC but worked my tail off to make all my BTC.. Now what I've made is actually worth something..

You know if I simply had 10X as much BTC I might really be able to look at my life and decide how I wanted to use that money.. I could be free of the rat race for years on that.. But what I have now, eh, yeah it's a decent chink of change but not life altering really..

Deep down inside I knew this would happen.. I knew those patterns on that all chart would repeat themselves again, but I knew it in a kind of way that kept me going, working for more, but not in a way where I would put what little money I had into buying coin..

If I would have bought coin all I could maybe I would be pretty well off now, but it just wasn't justified and things are what they are..

I feel pretty grateful to bitcoin for what I do have really..

Ahh , I fell that . I even feel regretful for spending my btc earlier. Although I knew that one day Bitcoin will become this costly still I used it. I never expected Bitcoin to grow soo fast so early. Now I have learnt a lesson and then now I have decided to just save up . No Matter how bad btc falls I'm just going to hold.

humans do not know exactly when the end of the world but the signs of the end times can be seen one example is the number of earthquake events. Earth inhabited by humans is getting older and continental shifts of aging plates make the earthquake more frequent. This is one of the signs of the end times

Right. It is easy for us to make some decisions now when bitcoin is more established and then we see huge adoption coming in. It was a totally different ball game back then and it took only those with some balls to really pull through. We can all throw darts, but we have all been worried and how we decided to put some information into our worries and make decisions based on that was all that counted. It is one of those things, but I am sure a lot of them would not have decided to just sell everything as that would not have been a nice move.
