Topic: What is your Biggest Crypto Regret? - page 18. (Read 4038 times)

Not only one but there are many time I have regret and those are times when I had the opportunities to earn decent amount of income in several kind of projects but let them past and did nothing but a waste of time activities that I was supposed to be doing something lucrative put of those opportunities.

That I believed so much in altcoins and forgot about Bitcoin, this was my biggest mistake. When you come to the cryptocurrencies, you see a new world and it is very difficult to orient in it. So you're quite well influenced and thats the problem, you forgot about rational thinking. 

I biggest crypto regret is Park byte (PKB). In 2017, a friend called me up to invest in PKB. I bought just 60$ worth. The next day my portfolio turned 1200$ I was carried and thought it will still stay up. It came down to 240$ next day, and never grew back.

I am sure we have so many regrets in the past which we want to change this time or in the future. We have more chances this time, and with the market trying to rise again, we will have the opportunity to recover our loss in the past, and we can change it to make a profit. Just be patient for more while you don't have to stop what you do right now because you never know what will happen with your future. Perhaps, in the future, you will make a big profit from what you do now.

Regret?
Letting my misconception get through me when I first heard cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin.
I just started investing in here when it was around 20k back in 2017. Now I read some timelines of Bitcoin's price in Wikipedia and heck I could've been earning plenty right now if I didn't let my misconception hold me.

I think that's not a big problem for you, if you missed Bitcoin in 2019 you can still buy from now. The current price is still good enough to buy and hold, we have just passed bitcoin halving so it is certain that the price will continue to rise this year.

I have many regrets, but problem is sitting and thinking about what I could or could have NOT done would drive me nuts, so I prefer to just use the past as life lessons, although some of the lessons can be very harsh.
One big regret is that I once invested in a scam project  and I had a video channel and was paid ten bucks a video for doing videos on the project. I did not share my referral link or had any referrals, I just joined their marketing program they had running for a while, bit like a video bounty. Well they ended up stealing all our investments but I got the backclash for making videos and was being blamed for people losing their money. This I think was grossly unfair because I NEVER took anyone's money, actually there were real marketers out there who DID HAVE REFERRALS and made tons of profit from it when it was profitable. So I ended up closing my channel and will never make any videos, not for a very long time. I realize that spending time with your LOVED ONES is much more important than spending your time on a screen, only to see the worse side of human nature. Unfortunately there are way too many so called investors out there that are too lazy to do their own due diligence and if they blame some youtuber for their loss or investment, I think is really immature and stupid because no one forces anyone to invest lol. Lesson learned for me is that many retail investors are too immature to take responsibility for their actions and they should learn from their mistakes.
Yes, my mistake was I was way too naive and actually believe the company would take off, it had huge potential, but the guys who owned it got greedy ad ran off with all our funds.
So lesson learned: don't make videos about any crypto project because you never know if it goes pear shaped, YOU will be blamed for it.
Other things I regret is not buying Bitcoin at one dollar and eight cents, not selling all my first round of coins at ATH in early 2018, not holding Bitcoin PLUS and NEM to sell at their all time highs. Trusting people in crypto too much, and I got burnt, by developers and scammers alike.

Getting scammed few times, not only in crypto space but before I entered this space in 2017, I used to be a fan of HYIP investment and damn I lost lots of money through that shit until I break the chain, I wished I spent my time more on crypto very earlier at that time

Not buying Bitcoin when it was extremely cheap is one of my biggest regrets so far, I have other let downs but not that big, mostly bounties disappointments and projects that died while you holding them

I was daft enough to sell 80 BTC at $2 AUD each on Trade hill and 18000 LTC for about $300 AUD I think in the same year (I mined LTC with a CPU on the day it launched).

Back in those days I never thought bitcoin or litecoin would ever go mainstream or that I could have been a multi millionare!


This year I've withdrawn a large amount from my pension fund and invested it in BTC,ETH,BNB,EOS,TRX,BAT,WRX,ADA,NEO and XTZ working on the assumption that at least a few of them will moon

I'll either get rich or broke

well, if you ask me, my biggest regret in trading, the most important thing is not buying bitcoin when the price is still below $ 100 and not too trusting bitcoin because at the beginning of bitcoin was created nobody knows the future of bitcoin that the price could be as expensive as this, at least until now I still feel that regret.

My biggest regret was not selling some shitcoins when I had the chance but holding and thinking I was doing the right thing, now when I recall, all I do is to shake my head in regret. Another biggest regret I had was investing in some ICO which never paid and so on. Lastly is joining a pump and dump trading group, where I learnt a bitter lesson. All these regrets and mistakes now helps me to make better decisions.

This was me too back them, have this big dream of where my crypto holding will take me and the many things those projects would have accomplished but that dream was dashed with first the sudden dump and secondly the disappointment from those projects I thought will be something in few years,
That was another big lesson for me, not to be too trusting and learn to take profit when the opportunity presents itself.

My biggest crypto regret and failure is all on altcoins, seriously altcoins are full of unbelievable losses, I lost over 4700$ investing on altcoins and I still keep hoping that one day altcoin season will return, it doesn't look like it's ever going to happen, for now any money I make from crypto goes into Bitcoin or stable coins

1. Got rekt trying to keep tokens and coins I earned through bounties

2. Sold my Bitcoin bags in early 2017, don't know Bitcoin will hit 20k at the time

3. Buying altcoins at a very costly price and the altcoins dumped in value few weeks or months later

The lesson I've learned here is to always take profits whenever it's available, I give up on my dream of becoming a whale someday through altcoins, altcoins are too disappointing

It was not selling everything when it was right at the highest price in early 2018. I hold quite a lot of Nano, XLM, TRX .. but I chose not to sell them, I kept waiting for ATH but the price was always collapse and go down as low as it is right now

Biggest crypto regret was way back 2016 when i bought Antshare now called NEO at a bargain price and then sold it when it went 100% up on the exchange little did I know that is only the beginning and saw the price peak in 2017 when it swap to NEO and bitcoin started to bullran.

My biggest regret is I lost the backup of my bitcoin core wallet which contained about 5-8 BTC and not selling ETH when the price was above 1k.

Not selling when price was pumping hard, this is the biggest mistakes I keep doing over and over until I realised that these coins won't grow over their All time high again, it's greed.

Not buying bitcoin few years ago when the price is still affordable and not selling my alts early of 2018 when the price is soaring high.

Now we cant turn back time and we cant change the things that happened. Indeed regrets are always in the end, you will only realize your mistakes after seeing the outcome.
