It is easy to judge and laugh at people and their past actions, but some of us have done the same exact thing even when the price was still promising, and even if you didn't you might in the future and you will always look back and say i wish i have kept them, the thing is we can't predict the future and we don't live forever so it is better to enjoy things while you still can instead of just hording and not spending any of it just for the sake of it reaching higher prices, it is good to think about the future but also it is good to live the moment and enjoy the present.
We all have that the same experience a few years ago and I think also by this year. Despite the bull run, we want to secure our profits and nothing wrong with that. What's wrong is you've sold and then later you'll complain that you've sold earlier. I've got the same experience and I'm just thinking of it as one of the best lesson that I've learned on this market. The second guy on the picture is correct that you shouldn't sell everything and with an addition, if you believe on the crypto you hold and we're talking about bitcoin, never sell it on the price that you're not satisfied. And, if you have a future price as a goal then holding makes sense.
The decision has been made and what will we judge with this, the moment he sold it has made a profit, so there is nothing to regret when he does not know what he is doing.
Many people nowadays might say ''if only he had kept it'', we would laugh and think he had a waste of his life, but I see if I don't look at those numbers... He was also happy with that.
Regrets do always comes in last but into those years no one really havent able to expect that bitcoin could increase its price on what we do have today and of course people who had sold early yearsMany people nowadays might say ''if only he had kept it'', we would laugh and think he had a waste of his life, but I see if I don't look at those numbers... He was also happy with that.
will really be having that big regret but well we cant really take the past and stop on what we had done.Lets just move on and accept on the fact that we're happy in to those days where
we did sell off our coins but it just turns out that in future years the price had become more valuable.

Overall he just made a very huge profits back then and for sure he is already happy with it. Especially if his goal before is to make a profit by just buying Bitcoin at a very low price and selling it profit is already good.
But yeah, a lot of people before never expected how Bitcoin will increase in price significantly.

I naively thought it would take 10 years for people to think that $13k was a bargain, but I'm sure everyone on this forum would love the chance to go back and buy some more at only $13k. Wonder how long it will be before people are calling everyone who bought in at $60k the lucky ones for getting in so early?
Buying at $60k seems lucky, and one who missed it will have the same thinking of going few years back and make a buying when it marks new ATH in the upcoming years.
Can't blame him if he had trust issues over Bitcoin, not anyone's gutsy enough to hold a huge amount and not expect profit, he was probably expecting a huge bullish movement back then but was too impatient, definitely a missed opportunity for him as he could have been a millionaire by now, but FOMO get in the way and he decided to invest in altcoins, it's definitely a decision he'll be regretting forever.
I think there are lots of people like him who sold it when the price was increasing a little and regret by the time when the price was increased 10 folds. Now it increased thousands of times after 10 years and not only who are those who bought it from the start regret selling it in its early days, those who didn't even pay attention when was bitcoin introduced to them are now looking back and regretting it as if they've just lost a chance to turn the table of their life. Too many people have lost their chances of gaining huge profit when they didn't even care and now they are trying to get on the train with the current price on the market.
Started very first investment in 2017 after complete understanding of bitcoin and its regulation in my country. The good thing was, I was all set to buy good amount of coins and also work for them on the forum too or collect them by any means possible from other works around the internet.
The bad thing was our Government was producing shitty Bills of Crypto currency where suddenly they accepted it and suddenly they also maliciously changed to banned status. This made me very very cautious about my investments. Bought some on local bitcoin at the rate of 1400-2k at the start of 2017.
But never had guts to hold them because of regulations changing in my country all the time.
So missed great deal of opportunity to become millionaire today.

The development of Bitcoin and its spending in the first few days was related to privacy p2p network so we have to respect it, it is a pity to see someone reviewing your account because you bought something in 2011, if people want to tell the communty they bought bitcoin when price was 2 dollr they will do.
You didnot Miss Opportunities because price can reach to 500k

Here's a post I made almost exactly 1 year ago, in response to someone complaining that they had missed their "golden opportunity". Bitcoin was $13k at the time of this post:There have been people complaining about "missed opportunities" since bitcoin was sub $100.
Take a look at this guy: Did I miss an opportunity? At what point would you say is too high to buy?
Here he is lamenting that he could have bought in when bitcoin was 42 bucks, but now it is over 100 bucks, so what's the point?
What about this post: ever had a huge opportunity stare you in the face
This is a particular favorite post of mine. The price of bitcoin when that post was made was $123. The user is complaining he could have bought in 2011 and missed the opportunity which was "staring him in the face". He signs off the post with the following sentence:
Here's another one from a few years later: Regret and depression
Bitcoin price at the time: $230. Complaining he didn't have the foresight to get involved in bitcoin early, and could have been a millionaire. If he had invested then instead of complaining, $12,000 would have made him a millionaire at the ATH.
In 10 years time, there could very well be people making the exact same statement about you complaining that $13k is too expensive to buy in.

I constantly have this feeling that something is staring me in the face and I'm missing it.
Here is he is, posting on a bitcoin forum, with bitcoin at $123, saying he feels he is missing some big opportunity but he can't quite put his finger on it. I wonder what it could be? Here's another one from a few years later: Regret and depression

For the last example in that post, he would no longer have needed to invest $12,000 at the time of his post - a mere $3,500 invested when the price was $230 would have made him a millionaire at our most recent ATH of $66k.

I've seen this tweet many times already and I used to laugh at it. We know now that he made a huge mistake selling all his BTC but it's hard to judge when we weren't there when Mt. Gox happened and when BTC was treated like a loose change. What could we have done differently?
I'm pretty sure there were more stories like this but the worst case of missed opportunity is probably throwing the hard drive with 7,500 BTC in the trash.

Many of the Bitcoin haters you see today who say Bitcoin is going to 0 did just that. They want to believe they did the right thing, that they couldn't make such a big fuck up, and every time there is a dip, they hope the price keeps going down to be right.
A more reasonable person would have bought back at $100 or $1k or today. There is still time to buy Bitcoin.

Above image portrays a tweet made ten years back. By that time Greg Schoen have sold his 1700 Bitcoins. When the tweet was made, the price of bitcoin is $8. He had sold his holdings for $0.30 per bitcoin. It is a missed opportunity, because he wasn't able to sell at $8 as well as at the present peak. But, he's good enough to talk about cryptocurrencies. Now all he have is ethereum and few other altcoins and not bitcoins.
