something I don't really regret, but it's pretty sad when I think about it. I currently follow the bounty of Canya in 2017 but have to sell cheap because of my panic when the price is corrected. in the next few hours I should be getting double what I got when I sold it. but luckily it's only a bounty earned not from buying.

For me its ETH (aside from Bitcoin). IIRC, that was year 2016 or 2017, my friend encourage me to invest in ETH but I refuse because I dont believe its going to soar high.
At that time the price is around $20 and he bought 3 ETH. Its not really that much but who would have thought it will increase. He managed to sell his ETH during ATH and in my case who didnt manage to take advantage the price the time it was cheaper have this regret for not buying when he told me to do so.

there's plenty like doge at 0.01..btc at 200$,,sol at 2,5$ etc..

Don't waste your time on the past, just wait and see the next opportunity that's come. Surely there will be another doge/shiba etc.

I once made more than 30 ETH at the end of 2017 which was sourced from bounties and trading profits, but unfortunately I sold all of them at around $200 when there was a bear market in mid-2018.

Waves for sure. I was there when it first started, and I had tens of thousands of it, and I mean like literally very early days when you could get one for like 15-20 cents or even cheaper. So it was a great period, and I had it too thats the point, like I was in bitcoin world when bitcoin was just 100 bucks too, but didn't had much, this time around I had waves and a lot of it. Of course like the idiot I am, sold it all and paid for silly stuff, could have hold it and would have been a very rich person if I kept it. Of course as a person who has been in crypto for 9 years now, I gotta say everything seems like a big missed opportunity after a while.

March 2020 Crypto Crash

I will not specify any coin because on that month, I didn't have any spare cash and the only thing that I'm doing at that time is to just watch the market falling down. Yes my current portfolio at that time is falling as well but I'm more bothered to the fact that I didn't have any spare cash to be used to buy some coins because that is a perfect opportunity to buy. Buying at any price at that time and selling it after 1 year will give you a huge profit already.

I've said that numerous time that it is the biggest missed opportunity for me in crypto and I learned from it that's why I'm still holding cash right now while accumulating more cryptocurrencies and not only Bitcoin.

For sure, there are some investors out there that has the same experience as mine so what I'll say is to just Dollar-Cost Average Smiley.
when we believe and we don't have the funds to collect it may be silent seeing market opportunities is a best choice than forcing ourselves to take a loan in order to buy is the most misleading thing because it is too high a risk that we will get when our beliefs are wrong

Most regrets are likely be those that haven't bought when a friend of theirs told them about bitcoin, maybe starting from 2011-2016.

Those were like the great years of the market and considered early because of the price right now. But I would say that the opportunities will refresh every time we're at a dumping season or bear season.

I saw people telling if they've just bought bitcoin at those years, they're already freaking rich right now. All of those experiences comes to a lesson so, let's all apply it today and let's see what the future holds for us.

With absolute certainty no one can answer this question when my friend and i were hanging out in 2011 and playing games he brought up Bitcoin and displayed the price at approximately $10 i immediately wrote it off as yet another internet pyramid scheme fraud or passing trend There's also the fact that I didn't know any better looking back i should have kept an open mind and done some investigating before writing it out of hand.
The years is 2015 and a piece about ethereum and ripple has just been published this time around I chose to learn more about blockchain since i found its premise intriguing. That's when I decided to invest in ethereum with some of my extra cash.

There were some tokens back in 2017 during the ICO time I was holding and sold almost all of them like Pundi-X at negligible amount and after some time when i was checking the market cap then it was worth too much to change my financial status with the coins I was holding at that time.But we all have some missed chances on which we regret afterwards but can't do anything.So we have to go with the flow.

You have to be satisfied with what you have got, because if you are too greedy, any coins you hold will never be sold until they become trash. in 2014-2015 I participated in many ICOs and several bounties and airdrops that have the potential to become big projects. I sold all the coins when I felt it was time. Some of them, like Stellar, are holding airdrops for their new users and many more potentially. I don't feel sorry for selling at the initial price because I still make a profit. it's just a history that reminds us to do a long research on what has been obtained.

Tell me a project you missed the biggest opportunity on that could have changed your life today...

In 2019 many people hate HEX and called it Ponzi scheme, I have more than 50$ to risk on this coin at the time, I bought some and I got 500,000+ HEX, this cost me around 11$ or so and in November 2021 one HEX turned 0.55$, that's whopping 280,000$ or more.
maybe ethereum. but it's not like I was cheated or anything bad, it's just that I just sold the ethereum that I had too quickly. this happened at the end of 2020, I sold my ethereum for under $1k. at the time, I had quite a bit of ethereum, maybe dozens. however, when I sold it, the price of ethereum even broke through the $4k price tag, and that frustrates me quite a bit. Well, I lost the moment to sell at a very high price. this might serve as a lesson to believe in the top popular coins

Well selling my bitcoin when the price at $3000 is one of my biggest mistakes since that day I need an emergency fund and I don't have enough emergency fund then I make from selling my Bitcoin. From that day I increase my emergency funds so that when I need something urgent I won't sell my Bitcoin anymore. Also not buying crypto in old days really a regret that I ever have.

Tell me a project you missed the biggest opportunity on that could have changed your life today...
my biggest opportunity at that time was from ETHEREUM.

I started to be interested in investing and trading in 2019, at that time ETH was still at a price of 140 US dollars.
many friends who save, analyze and advise me to buy and save ETH until it reaches its highest ath in the future, but I don't believe it and just ignore it as a result it's been proven that ETH really reached its highest ath in history, namely at a price of 4,416 US dollars at 29 October 2021.
and my friends who suggested to buy ETH managed to get double profits, while I myself can only contemplate and be disappointed for ignoring this great opportunity.

from that I became convinced that ETHEREUM is really a good asset and worth maintaining.

I didn't know many projects at that time, but I have regrets about the Doge project, at that time it was valued at $0.002 I had 344,827 Doge, unfortunately I sold before the Doge price broke $0.66, that's the moment I misse.

Wish I had kept it on then, I might have become a billionaire in crypto by now.

Part of AOBT - English Translator to Indonesia
What's your biggest missed opportunity in crypto ? is of course like everyone else I know crypto since 2014 you know that bitcoin price still around 200$ and look it now I used to be translator for hire and usually people give me amount 0.01 - 0.05 BTC at that time and I made around 5 Bitcoin till I started to forget this forum because this account got hacked in 2017 i don't feel the bull run in 2017. because I sell everything at bitcoin 500$.

and then I just know that hacked account can be recover in January 2020 and now I'm back with regret and try to earn money in this forum again after I got fired because covid pandemic I try to trade in futures but still got loss. I try to do translator again but is very small to none chance. I try signature campaign but sig camp that have good payment is full already. wow this very long story tho I have still much story but It already sad already.

It was when I have known BTC for the longest time but doubted buying it during the early years when its value was just 1000usd. I thought of it as another Ponzi scheme since I have trust issues before. I was too surprised when it reached a good value last 2017. I never thought that Bitcoin could go this far. However, I believe that it isn't late for me to invest in Bitcoin again so as much as possible, I'm accumulating more of it yearly because I don't want to have the same regrets again.
Bitcoin was also my biggest regret for not buying it an early time. I never thought it’s value will definitely go this far, as I also thought that investing in it before will only make me regret and lose my money as others will always say that bitcoin is a big scam. It will make you profitable at first, but will scam you in the end. Now, to correct my mistake, I start DCAing with bitcoin. I know whatever it’s price now, it will always bound to reach the highest price in the crypto market, so now I’m taking every single opportunity to buy and hold for long term.

It seems like a lot of people in the crypto world have pretty much the same big regrets, they regret not buying a lot of Bitcoins since they first
got to know Bitcoin. But actually it is very natural for us to doubt Bitcoin when Bitcoin has just circulated in the market, especially like you said
a lot of misleading information circulating that Bitcoin will end up a scam, so it's only natural that in the end many people choose to monitor
Bitcoin first before deciding to buy it.

Even I believe Satoshi Nakamoto as the creator of Bitcoin would not have thought that Bitcoin could be as popular as it is now, and also has
a very expensive price. So instead of us living in regret, we better make it a lesson that we have to collect as much Bitcoin as possible from now on,
and do not let us regret again seeing the price of Bitcoin will reach new ATH in the future without being able to generate large profits from Bitcoin.
Therefore I regularly buy Bitcoin every month and I will hold it in the long term until the target I want is achieved.

But isn't it HEX is still a scam coins though?


is it a ponzi coin that mimics bitcoinnect? hextracoin? at the time, most of us were into those ponziers, admittedly their prices were manipulated to grow super fast, a lot of people could make a lot of money overnight
it was the golden age of ico, but unfortunately everything happened so fast and almost no one kept the profits, i also held a lot of hex back then
with the crypto market, i don't think anyone wouldn't miss the chance to change their lives

I think that most people are going to tell to you a similar story, for example while I entered the bitcoin market when the price was still relatively low I didn't invested as much money as I would have liked to and without a doubt I regret that decision, because if I had being decisive enough to invest a great deal of my savings back then the profits that I would be enjoying at the moment will be incredible and I could probably retire a decade or two earlier.

Yes same here, I get to know Bitcoin at the end of 2012, and the price was under $100. Could we see the future it will all be easy life for us, lol.
