When I saw the current price of bitcoin, I had in mind why I didn't know when bitcoin was still at the price of 50 $ or 100 $, maybe I would be a millionaire if I knew bitcoin from the start, it's the same as when selling btc at 40k $ and now it's getting higher ,
if I invested 100 $ in early 2020 also I still get many times the profit but it was not maximal when we invested in the early days of bitcoin.
but that's how life is always never satisfied with the achievements that have been obtained.
being grateful is the best key to the income that has been obtained because if we look up we will never be enough and make lessons for mistakes that have ever been experienced

I also had that what if before but I knew to myself that just like the other nostalgic crypto posts about selling early like the famous Greg Schoen tweet.
I've probably have sold with a few hundreds of profit instead of holding just like those projections and comparison of amount that have rendered IF being put into bitcoin several years ago.
Same I know myself very well that even if I strongly believe in crypto I would surely sell it at some point before it even get to it's current ATH.I've probably have sold with a few hundreds of profit instead of holding just like those projections and comparison of amount that have rendered IF being put into bitcoin several years ago.
It is easier to be said but be honest most of us would really sell their Bitcoin before it even get this high since no one knew that it could get this high back then.
In 2011, when I was writing my thesis, my older brother suggested that I invest $ 1,000 in bitcoins. It was so unclear to me where I should throw the money for which I could actually buy something for myself that I refused and only laughed at his offer. Now he jokes at me and often reminds me of this phrase "what if you listened to me?" Who would know how I hate these conversations! But from all such situations you need to learn a lesson and not be sad about it. A new fashion for NFT has come and here I will not miss my chance to get rich! 
When the price was around the value of 1000$,most of people fear to inverse to the new platform.Now the price of bitcoin crossed the value of 58k now.The people who had invested their money from 1k,they had got huge profit from now.Not all who brought got profit now.The people who had invested and hold till now had his profit now.

So how much your brother invested and he might be a millionaire by now if he invested when he was confident that it will be a successful market. I was holding a decent amount of coins till the last rally and unfortunately i sold majority of my holdings and did not purchase again at the right time and waited too long to invest again before this years rally, even though i am happy with the profit i am not happy with the way i missed the opportunity.A new fashion for NFT has come and here I will not miss my chance to get rich!
As long as there is the hype you can make money, will see how many projects will last in the next five years.

If I had invested as much as $ 100k in 2010 then I would have a huge profit this year, I would definitely buy a luxurious home and open a large enough business to earn some extra cash in my old age.
but I am very sorry that I sold some of my bitcoins in 2018, at that time I felt that the price of bitcoin had reached its highest price and was going to fall even further.
The price of bitcoin at this time has increased many times the price of bitcoin in 2018, this really surprised me and taught me to keep holding bitcoin until the price is much more expensive in order to get a bigger profit.

Greetings, my friends
In 2009, the year Bitcoin was created, no one could have thought that it would gain this popularity. Its initial price was about $ 0.0001. Over the next five years there were no major events, so the price slowly increased with little fluctuation.
In 2013 Bitcoin attracted a lot of attention due to the Cyprus banking crisis. In November 2013, the Chinese started to buy bitcoin in bulk and the price increased by 1,000 percent. However, this did not last long.
In February 2014, there was a denial of service attack on the servers of the MTGox Stock Exchange. At the time, the stock exchange controlled about 60 percent of Bitcoin transactions. The attack hit Bitcoin hard, and the price dropped by 40 percent. Throughout the year, until January 2015, the price continued to decline.
During 2015 Bitcoin gained popularity slowly but strongly and during that year the price started to rise little by little.
Since May 2016 Bitcoin has gained the confidence of more and more people, and its price has continued to rise.
In June 2017, the market witnessed a dramatic decline and the price decreased by 14 percent. Today Bitcoin is regaining its position

Thing is people including like me will just probably overlook this coin if I was still back in 2013-ish era. Not many people expected it to be this big, including me as well as I could be hella a millionaire already if the price was indeed like 7 cents in those years you mentioned (2010).
There is no point in regretting already because somehow we still managed to see it grew bigger and bigger years by years.
The 2017 bull run really gave me the motivation to "fuck it, gonna throw some here already".

All those "What if" questions are pointless.
Almost nobody(or a really small amount of people)are HODLing Bitcoins that they have bought or mined back in 2010.Nobody in 2010 would have believed that Bitcoin will be valued at 60+K USD 10 years later.
I guess that most of the early Bitcoin adopters were happy with a 1-2 USD Bitcoin price.
The same "What if" question can be applied to ethereum as well.
What if you bought 1000 ethereum at 0.5 USD,back in October 2015?
I know, it's pretty much pointless to look back and wonder if you'd have done something differently. Chances are, that even if you had bought Ethereum at 1 USD, we'd probably have sold it by the time it reached $3-$4. I highly doubt it that there are people who are still holding BTC since the early days.

I remember BNB was at $25 in December, now it's over $500. It's not like we can predict the future, even if I had BNB, I'd probably had sold it by the time it reached $100.

The whole point is that the person who invested in bitcoin in 2010 would not have been able to hold it to this day. The temptation to sell and take profit is too great. Therefore, it seems to me that there is not a single person who still holds bitcoin since 2010.
I kinda agree on this one because you have a point, for what I believed there's no can pull off that thing none other than satoshi himself. First of all, you never know that Bitcoin would grow this much because if you do then perhaps there's a high chance you could pull this off. Usually, if you saw your invested money grows 10x or more you will be tempted to sell because you don't even know if this will continue to increase or not so you will definitely sell. However, now is different because everyone knows the capabilities of Bitcoin and it becoming mainstream perhaps this will push for some individual to hold their BTC for long time.

I take two lessons from this thread:
1) Buy and hold as much as you can.
2) If you are going to take profits because the price goes up, never, ever sell everything you have.
Those who had $100 10 in 2010 probably would not have been able to hold them until today, but a good strategy would have been to make partial sales, without selling everything, when the price reached $100 to $500 to $1000, etc.

Everyone's dream here in this forum , and even those who had just entered or learned about Bitcoin is now having this thinking if they have only invested in this market since then , surely they are a instant millionaire by now.
Congratulation! If you invest 100 dollars on Bitcoin since 2010 until 2021, you really have become a billionaire. It will be difficult to hold their Bitcoin from 2010 so far. Currently Bitcoin prices are very high. You are too persistent. Actually Bitcoin has taken over the price of wobbly. I also invested in Bitcoin but until Bitcoin up was sold out.
Exaggerated , Not billionaire if invested 100$ that time , it's only hundreds of Million.
What if questions mean nothing. Real experiences are worth more, and our experiences, knowledge and investments is what we have to be looking at.
This argument also means nothing, since you take one extreme that obviously nobody ever followed, and you try to make a case with it, like this is something that would ever be applicable.
You are missing too many variables that are so important that make this argument not worthy. And it is not worthy, because whatever you write about this topic it always ends like this:

Sometimes I am thinking back and wonder what if? What if I had even bought $50 worth of BTC back in 2014,
I stumbled upon an article on Yahoo Finance, which really sparkled my interest, it's from February 2021. It is consisted of several scenarios, coming from the early days of 2010 until nowadays, 2021. I think that its performance is quite astonishing, even if you aren't an early adopter, those $100 could still be a great investment in the long run.
Starting from 2010, BTC's average price would be a few cents at most (The article mentions 6 cents per BTC), your $100 investment would now be worth $73.000.000 (BTC value $44.000, with current value of $50.000~ that would now be $82.843.920!)
Even in 2013, that Bitcoin was starting to gain in value (Approximately $600-700 each) your $100 would now be worth $7.800 (valued at $50.000).
What's interesting is that even throughout years 2017-2019 (Which is our very recent past), those $100 which is like a petty amount of investment, would lead to pretty decent profit, from such a petty amount.
Bitcoin was and still is one of the best investments someone could make, I strongly believe that there's still earning/investment potential. Sometimes I am thinking back and wonder what if? What if I had even bought $50 worth of BTC back in 2014, when I registered here, now I'd have a decent amount of money. I wish I had realized the potential back then, but I was too young. It's no time for regrets, we should keep going forward, in an effort to acquire as much knowledge we can, which can lead us to a new earning potential.

Wondering if you invested just 10$ that time , now you are 8 million dollar richer?
Damn that's tons of money for just even a little higher from penny .
Sometimes this is why I love having a Time Machine so i can turn back the time and purchase every bitcoin that cross my way

I've joined crypto in 2015 and during that time Bitcoin price was just $150-$200 mostly I gain my BTC coming from my cloud mining investment particularly in HashOcean which is turn into an exit scam lately in 2016 during that time I was lost 14 BTC in that cloud mining exit scam and if I was holding that BTC amount till now it was worth already a staggering 700K dollars. that was during 2016 and what's more if you start investing since 2010 your a Bitcoin Millionaire now I sure that's why I believe BTC is a good long term investment.
In 2016-2017 there were lots of cloud mining which is turn into an exit scam, and I'm sorry to know that you are one of the victims. Moreover,
you lost 14 BTC, that's a huge amount if you sell now. But that's how life is, sometimes we experience bad luck. But I am sure you will definitely
get a lot of valuable lessons in your bad experience. I agree with you, if we invest starting from 2016, the profit that we produce is enormous
if it is sold now. Especially if we started investing from 2010, the resulting profit must be much greater, maybe now I can live in peace and don't
have to think about financial problems anymore.
