Topic: Soo, bitcoin is now over 70K (Read 566 times)

I remember reading your story a few months ago, and it's completely reasonable to feel this way because it wasn't directly your fault; you didn't transfer the funds yourself. Although you shouldn't have kept funds at a casino either, there's no point in reprimanding you for your mistakes. I'm pretty sure we've all done some stupid stuff that we sometimes regret as well. I've also lost money to online wallets and services from 2014 to 2015, and I also lost some Dogecoin that would have been worth a reasonable sum of money because I never saved or improperly stored the wallet credentials. I also made poor trading choices when I was a newbie, foolish purchases with Bitcoin, such as Minecraft accounts, and possibly many more.

Thus, don't sweat it too much about it; we've all made plenty of mistakes in the past, and had I known any better back then, I would have a healthy amount of money now that would have relieaved most of my financial burden.

The problem with that is that it's very easy to say but harder to do. Let's say you bought $200 a long time ago but you didn't have much savings and your salary is the average salary in your country. When that $200 became $2,000 selling is very tempting, because it's already representing a bigger amount for you, and also at that time you didn't know if it was going to keep going up or if it was going to go down and go to shit. Let alone when the price was going up more and more.

That's why investing in bitcoin should be done with money that you don't need, and besides that, you should have savings on the side.

There are lots of stories from friends who are Bitcoin holders who are now talking about if I didn't sell my Bitcoin, I would now have a lot of money, my advice is don't stop there, we have to focus on the future, don't be discouraged because of our actions in the past, So from now on, think about the future so that we can move forward. we still have hope for success.

We can say everyone missed some opportunity, now, it depends on how you will act today to take advantage of what is in front of you. Because if you will just speculate and not do anything, then, whatever prediction you will have for this market is useless.
Anyone can brag about what they should have done, but what really matters is how you act on this market so it would matter.

What do you mean.

You need to clarify again what you mean.
The purpose of the block chain is and never depreciates again. Usually not everyone understands the terms you say.

Up and down are like a routine in the market. Buying when prices are low is always the best, but knowing when they are low is something not everyone understands.
Some think that every purchase made at any time is always profitable which is intended for people who do not value Bitcoin not on price. Most people now use Bitcoin as an investment asset in the hope of making a profit. This is where buying low and selling high requires strategies and patterns, not just buying and selling.

What a great movement, within some days Bitcoin price huge up. Yes we saw bitcoin price touch $73k. Some days ago i also sold Bitcoin at $32k But within short time i saw Bitcoin price crossed $70k. But i still holding Some small amount of Bitcoin and i will hold it till $170k.
I think after Bitcoin Halving Bitcoin price will go above $100k and within 2025 Bitcoin price will hot $150k+. I think it will be happen. And i strongly believe it.

Unfortunately we are slowly drifting away from this price range , and I believe most users that are currently cashing out and putting bearish pressure on the market are those that bought high with the hope of price going up but BTC price crashed along the way, but second opportunity presented itself and they could have sold to go breakeven, other category of users are those that missed the opportunity to take out profits when the first All time high was recorded and now got 2nf chance & have dumped everything... Others could be trying out how to make a quick profit from the markets as new investors  and this is what we seeing... But i believe if we can get into the $80K region we might have less crypto users selling as buying momentum could increase.

as at this time bitcoin is 63k, you should know that is block chain. bitcoin rise any time and it drop any time as well. So if getting to 70k  does means it will never depreciate again. it goes up and down, when it drop you buy the coin,if rise you sell that's the business. if want to buy bitcoin this is the opportunity for now because bitcoin have drop to 63k now.

Stories like that are very common and if anything I expect those stories to appear more often, as more people come to this market and store their coins in exchanges as they think this is the most practical option for them, so there is not much to do except to start all over again and try to do things right, otherwise the same could happen again, and at that point it would not be surprising if you decide to give up on the market as you were unable to keep your coins secure for a second time.

Everybody have a story to tell when it comes to crypto, I've felt remorseful for my previous actions over the decades, landed me in a tight corner. But today, my eyes widens and aiming for substantial winnings. We can't continue leaving in fantasy, rather its time to face the real world and our fear. Crypto is risky, totally understandable. The future is bright when you have a solid foundation in the market. Bitcoin will continue shooting to the moon because its a promising longterm project in crypto. I've witnessed alot of people making it in good figures when it comes to bitcoin.

Having a private wallet or using a hard-ware wallet is not everything that one needs to be safe. You can still be using this and still lose your funds if you either use a clone wallet or are careless with your private key and phrase.
 
So why educate and guide someone on how to get a good wallet? It's also important to teach them how important it is to keep those phrases and private keys safe, keep them out of the reach of others, avoid phishing links, and connect the wallet to untrusted devices in order for it not to get infected.

There are really some scenarios in our investment journey where we are making an incorrect decision with our money, just like what happened to OP. Due to what happened, he missed this great opportunity. I'm not saying that he made a mistake, but it is part of if you happen to become a victim of a scam or anything that will result in losing your money.

This big opportunity that OP missed, the best thing to do is not to stress over it. There will always be another time to have the same opportunity. What's best for now is to recover his losses or have enough money to store and wait for the next bear market. I know it will take a lot of time as we are nearing the Bitcoin halving, but it's better than thinking about a lot of things in life. Just chill, find a solution, and not think too deeply about what happened.

From your topic I was expecting a totally different message but seriously I thought ftx has filled for bankruptcy why did you leave your money in an online exchange, its so risky cause they are potential targets for scammers and things can happen like bad ceo or stuffs like that.

Next time better put your assets in your hands, practice sef custody, put your asset in open source wallet like Electrum.

Yeah bitcoin is getting higher and its a good thing for those that didn't sell last week, its better to hold bitcoin for longer term than to engage in short term practices.

Bitcoin price will definitely rise again and reach a higher value in the future but those who already think it is too high to buy will never buy bitcoin even if the price drops more. I guess when bitcoin dropped to $61k they said it would drop further and would keep waiting for $50k, and just like that they would never own any bitcoin out of fear .

Bitcoin is unpredictable but in the long run it will always increase so those who really want to invest in bitcoin will buy it as soon as they can, they will never hesitate or pay the price.

Probably for the same reason that they find it counterintuitive and that they don't trust strangers to do what they want to do, that's how I see things in this kind of thing, why they don't take the logical advice. There's also the matter of convenience although I can't see how it's a strong argument but some say that it's why they're storing their bitcoins or any cryptocurrency for that matter in exchanges. It's a really weird world we're living in, people getting your trust only to snatch it down under when you least expect it. I don't believe that we will ever see people stopping to use CEX as a way to store their bitcoins for the long-term, people will always going to do that no matter how much we care that they do it and tell them that it's risky. I guess it's in our best interest that we do our own business more than we do others because they don't care at all, the people that would follow the advice would probably be following it and those that won't will never no matter how much we persuade them.

OP, you missed a big opportunity during Bitcoin's peak price. If you had stored your money in the right place, you could have enjoyed this bitcoin moment. Maintain your privacy at all times to preserve your funds. Transfer to a private wallet where you control the private keys. To avoid similar incidents in the future, consider using a hardware wallet to store your money safely. You must learn from the situation you have been in so that it does not happen again in the future. In any case, just keep safe.

Still we have chance to buy bitcoin and hold them long term to get a smart amount of profit but many people are still worried because btc price already cross the previous ATH. and now some drop from the new ATH but it is doesn’t matter because bitcoin price now under correction that's why it is happening. the price of bitcoin will rise again and make a strong ATH so i think we still have the chance to use this opportunity

Many people actually regret with their celebration for past all time highs of Bitcoin and sold their bitcoins at $10, $100, $1,000 or $10,000 even $20,000.

Bitcoin is a best investment asset all time ever so if you have bitcoin, hold it.

Don't trade your bitcoin because in a bull run, trading your bitcoin will cause you sell low, buy high and by that, you lose your bitcoin.

Holding, enjoy the bull run and don't sell all your bitcoin at any price. Do DCA exit strategy.

That’s what’s actually what makes it even more regretful. The fact that you had your chance to make profits when the value was all the way up but didn’t is something that could make you stay up all night thinking about what ifs. Well, it goes both ways. If you weren’t able to buy and hold before the price was high, you get stressed. If you weren’t able to sell before the price took a dip, you get stressed.

You need to find that perfect balance and surely, the benefits will be so much and you will feel incredibly grateful.

They blame those fraudulent activities out of frustration and for sure they already learn a valuable lesson that they should never participate since if they got scam for second time around then we can called them stubborn since they didn't learn something on their first experience.

We became mature on every experiences we face especially if those one make us lose something huge that we don't easily forget that's why we are here continue to warn and advice people on the proper way to deal with something especially right now where market collapsed for sure there's some guys out there got panic in this situation so the best approach they could make in this kind of situation is they actively monitor the current market condition and try to learn since it can help them to became more good investor and when similar scenario came for sure they know what to do and ignore any thoughts about getting panic in any price fall situation.

Dwelling on the surge that has been caused by the increase in the price of Bitcoin and all other coin will actually not be really helpful to you because it's already lost and shouldn't be one that we have to bother too much about again moreover Bitcoin is currently experiencing a decline again from it's recent ATH that was attained recently so it's basically the dynamics of Bitcoin and it will still happen in same manner regardless of how els we would have wanted it to be. There will be a time too in the nearest future the price of Bitcoin will still go up again and it will not be same as it has been so at that point the price of the transaction you did now won't be same as the price we will be seeing them.

It's better to learn to move on from the prices of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency especially looking back at the transaction price of the past and the recent because we can't help it as these prices will keep alternating and getting to the point they want and still come down again because the market is dynamic and there have to be new highs and lows created often.

Sometimes such experience is necessary to come to the conclusion that you need to invest wisely. The pursuit of big profits is always an inherent risk, and besides, you need to study a large number of projects in order to ultimately select a few in which you are willing to invest money.

But instead, you can simply buy Bitcoin using the DCA strategy and not create any additional risks or worries for yourself. Yes, you may not get the full profit, but you will know that you invested in a more reliable asset on the crypto market. Highly profitable projects are for those who do not have much capital, those who are just starting their journey and want to get a quick result, and ready to take risks, but quickly does not mean reliably.

Those who still blame or criticize fraudulent projects every time they lose money, they will continue to lose more because of their stubbornness when it is their own fault. If they are not greedy to invest in projects that promise high profits, how can anyone scam them?

Congratulations on becoming more mature with your experiences in the market. Only when we grow up and stop blaming others can we make a profit and survive in this harsh market. Don't blame others, always get up after every fall, if anyone can do that, they will definitely make a lot of profit in the market.

You made those transactions because you needed to at that time, so I don't see the need to be looking back at it. Just move on, I know it might be hard. If you feel you made a mistake, the best thing to do is to simply learn from the mistake and make a better decision for the future. Moreover, 70k is not going to be the last, there is still more to come for sure.

The value of bitcoin keeps falling this time,and is also affecting most of this memecoin they are also dropping from their current value,at this point I think a lot of people will take the risk to invest in most of this top coin like ethereum now that they have drop in their value, I think the price is going to be cheaper unlike before.however I know this will bring a regret to those investors that invested heavily on bitcoin regardless to the price of bitcoin then,I will advice they hold on to it and see if bitcoin will come back to it current value.

Past experiences help us become a lot more mature, there are things that I used to blame a lot on my journey into crypto, scams are quite frequent but it only increases patience. I sold bitcoin for cash in 2013, but at the time I wasn't aware of how special bitcoin was, and over time I didn't regret it but rather grew attached to the market.

Taking advantage of the opportunities in the bitcoin space depends on each of us, from micro to macro factors, we are all part of the space, the stage has some happy people and some sad people.

Bitcoin was under 20k just few months back and those who bought at that price are having fun this this bull run. When Bitcoin goes take low people start speculating that it's end of Bitcoin but the real one start accumulating Bitcoins on such dips. Unless you don't have faith in Bitcoin you won't buy Bitcoin during such large dips. Bitcoin was at it's ATH few days ago and now Bitcoin is going towards 60k, so we need to keep this in mind that Bitcoin price is highly volatile and we need to keep our self updated to buy/sell at right time. 

I too use exodus among others and so far i see no problem as I use it.
It’s incredibly easy to check the coins I am holding and see the market for each time period.
I also did not go through a hard time when transferring or buying or selling my coins
in the exchange.

Exodus is usually recommended to beginners due to its friendly interface.
Might just keep using it as long as my coins don’t exceed at least the $500 mark.

Bitcoin price touched a high of $73.5k, Bitcoin price surged so much recently that it set a new record high. This year is the year that the halving will take place, so the rise in the price of Bitcoin has created a different investment opportunity for investors. Investing in Bitcoin is so profitable that one will only realize that the investment has been accumulated for a long time. The longer you keep your investment, the more benefits you will be able to reap. And if you wait until 2025, your investment is likely to grow three times the current rate of Bangladesh.

What if it never drops hard? What if you keep waiting but it keeps going on? Don’t waste the opportunity if you have it. I also believe there’ll always be a bear run coming in and out of the market but look closely at the chart. Despite the bear run, Bitcoin is going higher than always. Invest what you can afford to lose but don’t delay if you have the funds. Anything can happen, good or bad.

I can understand your frustration about losing your funds. I didn't lose some funds a couple of years ago by investing in a shitcoin. Still, sometimes it gives me pain when I remember that. However, I am very careful now about my investment. I'm not going to invest in any shitcoin ever, and I won't regret it. I had faith in Binance for trading, but right now I have a problem with them. They temporarily suspended my account for some reason, and they need 30 days to investigate. Still, I haven't posted details on the forum. I will wait for their final decision. But from now on, I would refer to using Dex for trading as well. Trading on CX is more risky since I have trouble with Binance already. 

I'm sorry the op lost funds in the past due to the FTX crash. I've never lost Bitcoin this way, but I did lose some Ethereum early on by making the same mistake of trusting a centralized platform with my funds and assuming that their popularity meant they were reliable. But what's important is to learn from our mistakes and not dwell on them too much, I think. You can't change the past, but you can make better choices in the future. So if that story taught you something important, it's okay that it happened. Losing money isn't the end of the world.

Prices will rise over time, so don't regret anything you haven't done before, but try to do it when you have the chance now. There are always people who regret many things in the past, but basically they can no longer change them but they can wake up and try their best next time.

Yes, that is a known consequence, but many people still believe in things that are centered. Centralized exchanges promise security but they never guarantee you not to lose anything in the future. If you feel safe with all of that, then of course you should no longer worry about anything that happens in the future.

I trust centralized exchanges to a certain extent, meaning I wouldn't put all my money there especially if it was as a long term investment. Not your keys, not your coins, that is a slogan that should be taken into consideration by anyone investing in the long term.

Very true, keeping one's crypto assets like Bitcoin on exchange's or casino's wallet is always a risky thing. It's always preferable to have your own personal wallet where you control the keys. It's a common saying in crypto world that "Not your keys not your coins," and if someone knows that then they will never keep their crypto assets in an exchange's custodial wallet or a casino's custodial wallet.

Only those who aren't aware of such thing may trust an exchange or a casino with their assets. Such people will always regret their decisions because it's not worth it to keep your own assets in someone else's control. Be your own boss and keep your assets in your own wallets then you will never regret, and whenever you want to sell your assets for a profit, you can do that without someone else's permission.

I also quite agree with what you say, because if someone is familiar with crypto and the types of crypto assets and is experienced enough with storing assets. Of course he must have a personal wallet that is truly safe and that must be properly guarded because that is an initial consideration for himself, so it is very true as you suggest that it is not appropriate to store crypto assets on the exchange or in any casino even if it is not will disappear in an instant. However, it is very important to take this into account because this concerns personal assets that must be looked after very well.

why not have a more decent wallet to store your assets first? even though you might think you don't have enough assets to keep in your wallet. but you have to think about how you store the assets you own safely.
If you have enough experience in this matter, I think you can consider how important it is to have a personal wallet if you have crypto assets. Don't put it on an exchange or in a casino.

Checking your old wallets and transactions and comparing the values from when the transactions were done with the current value is never a good idea. That makes you regret and have remorse for things that you shouldn't be remorseful about. If you had some Bitcoins way back and you sold them so that you could spend the money on something useful, you didn't do anything wrong by doing that because you didn't know its value would reach a significant height some day in the future.

Gambling is a different thing because you will always regret any money that you have lost in gambling, but if the transactions you find in your wallet were for other things and those things were important and useful for you at that point of your life, then it is better we don't regret that and stay focused on what we have in present instead of living in the past.

Btc made a new ath before halving and am wondering how many people are in regret not buying below 40k ish  
What I know is - btc is unpredictable, the coin keeps surprising the community.
It is exciting to see how the market has been pumping these past days.

It is sad to hear what happened to you, too bad you kept your fund in centralize platform when it was said several times never to leave a huge sum on exchange when you are not in control of your funds. Hope this is a good lesson learned.

Well, that's the consequence of putting your money somewhere that's not you that's in control. This is probably the very manifestation of the phrase, "not your keys, not your coins." I know that it's such a sad affair for OP right now but you'll have to remember that you can probably file for the stolen bitcoins because there's definitely a lot of people that's going to be filing for claims and they're not going to be backing down without getting anything back from SBF, I hope that while the justice system deals with them, you'd be able to get your money back.

May let this be a lesson for everyone that if this can happen to OP, it can probably happen to you. Just put your coins to your own wallet, it's not that difficult to have your own wallet and store it, don't mind the transaction fees because it's inevitable that you're going to encounter them no matter how much you avoid them.

But the price has fall down to $68k few days ago, but there are some signs that the price will still rise higher above $72k to let the remaining hodlers to start selling their BTC to make profits and, those that loss their BTC in the exchange wallet will not be happy to themselves for the mistakes they made to live their BTC in the exchange wallet.

I know that such thing will not happen again to such person than to use electrum wallet to hodl the BTC for long before he will release them to exchange wallet to sell to make profits that will make him to remain in BTC investment to recover his loss.

I really hate using the forums reply feature but

I never used FTX, but back then I was stupid enough to trust a gambling site to keep my funds safe because they were welcoming and friendly all around. I know better now (and no and i’m not a gambler, they had a NFT section where i earned thousands by buying and selling nfts)

My mistake was depositing using a websites address, and that website their team chose FTX for their wallets and due to anti laundering checks they sent it back to the most recent depositing address. I’ve actually never owned anything to FTX but my money was sent to the companies address and if they didn’t use FTX i would have gotten it back, rip

I did hear about the “Not your keys not your bitcoin” in 2022 actually but I had no clue what it meant. It was literally here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p9jhS84WOK8

Only reason why i’m not immediately moving to a different wallet is because currently I only have $22 in crypto since most of it is spent in other assets. I’m not getting a huge amount of crypto anytime soon and I will be learning this stuff alot more before I receive any huge crypto payment again. If exodus ends up dipping I won’t have much stored and not care about loss. If I ever do receive a huge sum of crypto again i’m definitely getting a secure wallet and not using anything stupid. And not using exodus either to store em.

I did have something for litecoin that was most likely a 100% safe wallet back in 2021 but I lost it when my old pc randomly died.

To avoid bad habits like I used to use a trust wallet and have actively used FTX, now I think a multi coin wallet can be tried to be unstoppable rather than an exodus wallet which can be like a time bomb like what NotATether said.

Of all the wallets, I recommend Electrum and Bluewallet.
It's absolutely not right to use an ecxchange like FTX f*ck even just for a few days.
This also applies to me as a self-reminder.

Bitcoins in a special wallet that is not mixed with altcoins.
Hardware wallets, I agree.

Threads like this always make me wonder why people ignore good advice given by others for free? We were telling you not to hold money on exchanges for years, but greed is stronger. Either it's greed or laziness, because I'm sure that OP heard the phrase not your keys - not your coins.

As for SBF, there will be others like him. There are people like that in every business, so at least try to be more careful and avoid them. I can bet anyone that there will be another Do Kwon, another SBF, another Mark Karpeles, just give it some time.

There's no point regretting the past, it's just history which should be able to make you a better person in the future, especially in making decisions regarding money. Of course there are regrets, but the best thing now is to make things better.

People will say, prevention is better than cure; that's right. Mistakes in the past should be valuable lessons in the present, not only for you but for everyone too. Everyone has made mistakes and maybe regretted them, but if you learn from them you will definitely be better.

If I remember correctly, the Trezor hardware wallet I only bought for $80. What's confusing is that many people always give hundreds of reasons when someone advises them to own a hardware wallet to protect their bitcoins. Like OP, he used to own a large amount of bitcoin and had transactions worth tens of thousands of USD, but he said he could not afford to buy a hardware wallet for less than 100 USD. He also received a valuable lesson from the collapse of FTX, but it seems he still hasn't awakened to anything? It's strange.

Why would you wait for that? Its not like hardware wallet is thousands of dollars as you can get a pretty good one for less than $100 which is nothing really.

Some years ago I lost like 90% of my crypto (phishing) and the very first thing I did after clearing my head was ordering a hardware wallet, even though at that time I had less than $1k worth of crypto left and I can tell you that I sleep much better since then.

Well, it's part of investment that you lose money. You win money sometimes, you lose money sometimes, and yes losing sucks, but the best thing you can do is to just move on, move forward, and learn from it.

I guess I'm just lucky that I didn't invest a single penny on FTX because, at that time, I didn't want to hold not only FTX but exchange coins in general. Scam Bankman-Fraud is now in jail, and your money will be lost forever. As for mental health, I don't know if some of these are true, and this isn't only about FTX, but in general, some investors even committed suicide because of them getting scammed big time. I mean 5-digit and sometimes 6-digit losses. I just hope that you're OK now OP after you're losses with FTX.

Markets move in cycles. It will go up, and it will go down. It's only a matter of how will you maximize the opportunities that the market is being given to us.

Your privacy should be protected when holding bitcoins there are many good wallets for holding bitcoins. If you keep your own personal wallet you don't have to be in the bad situation of losing it there are risks involved in using centralized exchanges. While making this type of wallet however, several precautions must be taken. Obviously we must make sure that no one is observing us while we create the wallet. We must learn to avoid the risk of spyware monitoring our activities but hopefully don't make this kind of mistake again and move forward with learning from here.

A lot of people are still using centralised exchanges to save their coins; these are people who can still tell you the full story of Mt.Gotz and FTX as well as how the exchanges went bankrupt; what more can you tell these people than that where they're saving their money isn't safe. If another exchange goes bankrupt soon, there will still be a lot of people who will fall victim to such a scenario because people can listen to you but will not play safe and heed your advice when gambling and moving with their coins across exchanges which is susceptible to loss at anytime.

Broski if you have 5 figs worth of money into bitcoin/crypto, then absolutely get a Ledger/Trezor hardware wallet. It's not even debatable as to why you need to get one, it's pretty much absolutely mandatory. Don't be another victim!

You had the opportunity of choosing between a custodial wallet and a non custodial wallet, but you made a decision in such regard as to go for what you want, who should we blame, at least you cant expect them to change from what they are or the risk they bear, we are the ones expected to play safe and avoid using them, just as the way some people are still using other centralized exchanges now without knowing the future consequences they may bring their way, i thought FTX should be a lesson to many after Mt.Gox.

Do not regret the past, as these are lessons from which you learn how to become better. Now focus on following up on the details of what happened to FTX^[1] in the hope that you will be able to recover even a small part of your money.

Remember to always withdraw from any platform after completing trading, and not to leave more than what you need for daily trading on the platform, regardless of the incentives that will be offered, such as high staking, APY, or other things that may make you leave your money with them for a longer period.

Exodus wallet / trust wallet and others are closed source wallets and do not differ much from what happened with FTX, and if you do not believe it, Atomic Wallet is hacked! Get your funds out now!

Yes, Bitcoin is over $70k, and even over $72k to be precise. You have lost your holdings because you kept it in a custodial wallet of an exchange which is not recommended at all. If you have withdrawn your Bitcoin at right time in your own personal wallets then now you would be enjoying $12k, if you had hold it till this day. But, well we always learn lessons from our mistakes and I believe you also learnt your lesson which is to never trust a custodial wallet with your money.

How much is a hardware wallet? $100 or $200? And you have seen over 4k dollars turning into 12k? There is no excuse for you to not get a hardware wallet, because you are already risking lots of money on Bitcoin, you need to get one straight away.

You don't have to wait till you have a lot of money before buying a hardware wallet, believe me I was like you, and losing my Bitcoin was when I lost my cool and took out some funds in my crypto wallet to order for a hardware wallet instantly, between a week it was shipped to me.

You want to wait till you lose some assets first? Just like I did? Learn from my mistakes mate, the best route is a hardware wallet, a hardware wallet like Airgapped that's always offline keeps your crypto safer than others.

Just tuck in and charge in to experience, I think you are not the only one that could have regret their decision like 2 years ago and now seeing that the price has move past and over $70k. Majority of us could have sold early as well, but what can we do? We just have to be positive and move on and then accumulate even at today's price, who knows, majority is expecting at least 6 digit in the future. And if that happens then we still have chance to make profit. So just forget about it, time to make a new plan and strategy to be able to salvage profits in this bull run.

And if you check these transactions after the next 10-15 years, you will cry non-stop.

You lost 4K, at the exchange rate that was at that time.

The past can't be brought back. Leave the past in the past. This can't be changed, and the money can't be returned. But focusing on future opportunities can bring profit.

Losses can't but be sad. It’s best to forget about it - it will be easier for your psyche.

It's not insane to see how cryptocurrencies have risen, but greed.

In the community I'm most active on most people use exodus and recommend others to use exodus to others all around. (No one there is a crypto expert not even me) The first wallet I used was Blockchain or something and it was fucking horrible, it gave me a huge fee for a $900 transaction and pissed me off so much. Someone in the community recommended me exodus almost 3 years ago and I started using it ever since, I was happy with low fees and a more organized view and was able to understand some of the basics overtime with exodus.

I'm going to forward this message to a friend. He recently exchanged like $1.5k worth of crypto to LTC or something and now his money was gone even though the exchange completed (He didn't fall for any RATs or viruses) Can you show more information to me about this so I can tell him more?

I have no funds on exodus and the one time I held more than 5 figures worth of funds it felt extremely uncomforting and I just wanted to get rid of it quickly, so it was all disposed of within under a week.

 Thank you for that.

Exodus wallet is a ticking time bomb, and I advise you to pull all your funds out NOW and put them in Unstoppable or Coinbase Wallet or something.

There have been too many instances of crypto mysteriously vanishing from people's accounts in the form of outgoing transactions to unknown addresses. Also never use their built-in exchange feature - that is a KYC "document-rugpull" trap.

I'm using exodus but I'm very concerned how I haven't discovered any sort of 2FA Feature before sending funds by now. - They have actually saved me from losing my money once so far when my old PC suddenly stopped, thankfully I was logged onto my same wallet using another PC

I do plan on making the switch in the future to a hardware wallet, probably the next time I have lots of money in crypto. I do not have much in crypto but random virtual items and @ handles which they've probably all gone up fairly as well since people have more money to spend.

Unfortunate. All you can do now is to make sure to not make the same mistake. Don't leave funds on centralized exchanges unless you frequently/actively trade them; if not, then always use hardware wallets and non-custodial wallets to prevent disasters like this.

I checked all of these old transactions I made like yesterday or the day before. a 14.6k transaction was now 44.8k and a 9.4k deal is now 28k+.

And what I lost to rollbit sending my money to a FTX address went from 4K to now 12.1K. Like wtf

^Fuck FTX they are robbing [words i cant say on this forum] and they are the reason why I lost it, now my money is to the government. Just know if Scam Bankrupt-Fried was with me IRL he would've given me my hard earned funds and maybe extra back to me long ago. My mental health has a whole lot to say to him.

People have lost worse sure, I've done almost everything I could to get it back ever, but any loss still sucks sadly. And nope I aint gonna be checking for the new value of the lost funds.


Other than the sad losses that people have been scammed out of or lost due to bullshi, you should also check your wallets and see how much your crypto deals/transactions have drastically gone up. If you disposed your crypto long ago, don't be sad since you most likely weren't going to keep that crypto for this long anyway or predict it. It's insane to see how much crypto has increased but if you missed out and are stressed about it then don't be since it will eventually drop hard as always (no disrespect to anyone holding).
