Topic: Worst mistake you did with Bitcoin? - page 99. (Read 135170 times)
I had an opportunity to buy Bitcoin when it was single digits, but I opted to wait and buy some time later losing that opportunity. A loss of crypto always bothered me 100x more than the loss of dollars
The worst mistake I've done is I bought when Bitcoin was at 1200$ and sold at when it was 180$. Ok, that's 2 different mistakes actually. But the point is I'm very bad at trading Bitcoin. 
I stopped trading and use buy-hold strategy, since then I accumulated more coins in my stash.

1200 USD is the peak and 180 is the near bottom since the Bitcoin bubble. You buy and sold you Bitcoin at the worst time. Indeed, if this is true, you are very bad at trading Bitcoin. Holding bitcoin for long term and dont be scared by the value should be the best choice for you. I hope you will secure your stash as it sound like it is a lot.
Like I said in my post these 2 mistakes are different. I used to trade Bitcoin very actively. I had great buy and sell orders where I profited a lot of coins. These 2 extreme points show us how hard Bitcoin trading is.
I couldn't have sold my bitcoins when the price was 1200$. Still... I did it when the price was 900$
I was cautious since the beginning so no big loss here.

Interesting how many people lost a large share of their money in gambling.
Actually I made two common mistakes. In the first case I sent money to the wrong address, but the generous man sent them back. And the second was when I wrote wrong fee amount. So, people be careful really!!
What wallet are you using, i am using coinbase and never ever mind for tx fee.
I wrote too small fee and transaction was going too slowly. I used hive
I saw many transaction that if you put low fee and the tx get not confirmed the funds are sent back to the sender, so don't worry
wait always for 1 confirmation, to avoid any mistakes. 
Going onto one of those produce your random private key places online and using the key. All funds got transferred to another address as soon as the transaction got confirmed.

worst mistake selling 100 btc at $100 thinking its the highest it will go. all good though made it all back tenfold. good lesson.
Using localbitcoins.com I lost the piece of paper which I needed to get back in.....lost a few bits
I stored a small amount in inputs.io and its went down and the owner claimed it got hacked never got my money back at which point i QUIT bitcoin and forgot about it im coming back now for a 2nd attempt whilst the price is down.
inputs.io nearly ruined me

Invested in many scams, lost about 0.7 BTC overall , but also made some , so it wasnt really a waste of time.

Worst mistake you did with Bitcoin? Lost most of my bitcoins in gambling
My worst mistake when i buy Bitcoins for the first time is 400$ and the price in those days was 320$ round about ! 
playing investing in hyip and I tried my first direct investment with a fairly large value, then they scam 
That's the reason why hyip = gamble. Both are high risk and not sure what would come out.
Playing hyip same as you throw your money. You will think that you have a strategy to play hyip. But in the end you are too greedy to control yourself because the seductive profit.
