It simple to regret the missing of a train, after we know what destination had.
There are a lot of trains now, but... where are they going?

how many people stayed on those trains to the end of the line? very, very few. how many people will do it again in future? just as few.

that's fine. that's how it should be. but it should also be a lesson to the dumb people on here who think they're heroes flipping a coin for a few bucks and sneering at hodlers.

to get the really powerful returns you have to wait years and sit through what seems like an eternity of nothingness and fud. that doesn't mesh too well with the mindset that's hungry for returns in the thousands of per cent.

what's the moral? zoom out and sit it out.

I have read many posts of people saying they are sorry to have missed Bitcoin. But I wonder if they realise that there have been more than 20 trains out there that could have made them millionaires.
They have managed to miss at least all these, some of them as recent as July last year. It is not that you missed Bitcoin, is that you (and I) just missed many many others Roll Eyes
Be honest to yourself... you did have a chance!
It is true that everyone had more than enough opportunity to make a ton of money with the little investments they could make in the crypto currency market and majority of them might have missed the boat,but bitcoin is being looked as the ultimate profit vehicle by everyone to make the best profit because of the massive potential,but never miss out on good projects too.

Focusing on only the coins that have turned out well without considering the several hundreds that have died along the line is making one sided argument. In as much as there are some that have been worthwhile, for you not to have missed the train is a matter of chance and not because you are smart. Every individual investing in alts is doing it with the sole purpose in mind and that is not missing the train and the moment you are very unlucky either by your design or the activities of other individuals, you then need to wait for the next train or you forget about the train and just wait at the next bus-stop to join the train. 

It's called cherry picking, or selection bias. Obviously, a dozen or even less "prosperous" coins are not representative of the whole altcoin market. For example, people hear a lot about the dudes who had won a lottery but no one knows about the ones who didn't make it despite the fact they may have been trying for years. To get a real understanding of our chances we should consider the whole "population" of coins and how many of them were successful.

Its really hard to see because of so many coins out there and their are chances that you have have missed something but invest on others as well and ride the hype train.

So I said that they are a lot of opportunities to make money out of the market. Not just the coins mentioned by the OP. So if are disappointed, then think again, explore coins, specially those who have a good team behind, it could be a hit or miss or your end, but you will never know that you are going to hit a diamond in the rough.

There are always good opportunities that come out. But I guess people who think they miss the train don't really know a lot about the crypto. If you take time to read and be informed, you can cquickly feel that it's just the beginning and new projects can could worth a lot in the coming months

Be honest to yourself... you did have a chance!

Actually, no you didn't have that much of a chance. You posted 5 "trains" there, and yes there were a lot more, and even recently we had U.cash and E-coin with profits of 1000% which is just crazy. But the thing is, that you had plenty of scams that came along with those good wins, and you also had plenty o projects that weren't scams but didn't really paid off. So it would still be hard to make a good investment on those few projects. I considered invested in NEO and Qtum for example, and on a few more you didn't mention there, but I know I also thought about investing on some others that went bust.

We just have to many options there, and it's hard to tell which ones are good. To be honest I don't even know if those 5 you mentioned are good projects and will survive (expect for Ethereum, that I really think it's a good project, just like Bitcoin).

I very much regret that I did not buy bitcoin before. It now stimulates to look for other options. We can not see the future. Errors of the past give us intuition. Let's look for new ways to earn money!

Cryptocurrencies is an incredible market and we have to admit that there are so many opportunities, we'll never get them all. Never look back in the crypto, but always focus on the future. !

But the question is? We didnt even know on these coins to grow like this because along the way for sure we would really sell out for earliest times which is normal for a trader and i do believe only a few did really held off for long term but most of them do really sell out along the way which its really a regretful thing but its already late for them to realize.We cant go back in time while they are still cheap but we should think that we did make out of money of those coins.

We may have missed a lot of trains but we can still catch up with other trains too you know. We can't do anything about what had been done because we can't rewind the past, instead we should move forward and carry on then make the most out of it. Anyways, there are still a lot of opportunities to make millions out of some coin; we just have to be patient and work hard for it and of course never stop learning about new things. Hard work always pays off if you learn to wait.

I missed a lot of trains like many of you, and I regret it dearly. I recently got BEST ADVICE EVER about how to avoid that.
Simply - from all coins you mine, buy or recive in any way, if you want to sell it from any reason, sell only 90% of it,
 and that 10% leave and forget about it for at least 1 year. 10% - you wont feel it! There are a lot of emotions when your coin hits 1000% and its hard to stay straight,
 but if you leave only 10% you cant regret if it goes to 0!

You will likely not regret if this percentage goes down the tubes, though it depends on your personality naturally. But I doubt you will forget about it. You will check the prices now and then, and still more so if the prices start rising. But when they start rising, you won't be able to control yourself and most probably sell the rest of your coins before they hit 1000% growth. You should actually forget about them for your scheme to work out. But who is going to remind you of their very existence then?

And there are going to be a lot of trains ahead.
It's not so smart to say " you missed the trains" after it happened.
You could also buy apple stocks at about 1.5$ and could have made about 50000% on a regular stock.
I believe that everybody misses chances, but we should be happy that we are going to have some chances ahead.
Also don't forget that the people who held those coins when they were so low, probably didn't wait and sold the coins after a profit of 100%/200% or even less.
It's almost impossible to hold coins for so long.

I agree we should be happy that we had some chances to go ahead,otherwise we missed all things too. Its ok to missed all the trains,not just to missed bitcoin,as long as we have coins we have chance to get more higher currency and good profit.all i can say is we have to be sage for everything and also always prepared for the risk.

That's right. Since it's almost impossible for a rational mind to expect a 1084215% rise people start selling when they can have a 20%+ profit. And this is what happens to many crypto holders, especially if they are traders at the same time. So, those profits in the OP are rather hypothetical ones. Yes, all of us here "missed the trains", but who didn't? It's easy to say the right things post factum and it's hard to say right now, for example, which coin will the next +1,000,000 %.

Well, we all suffer of some biases, and focus only on the things we are confortable with.
Altcoin may be are profitable, but they are too unpredictable to invest in them.
Most of the altcoins who are in the top spot did gain so much increase in their prices that's why bitcoin dominance almost fall to 30% which if I recall correctly bitcoin dominance last year ranges from 60 to 75% observe that if you're going for altcoins beside bitcoin, you gained so much from your initial investments, that's correct as some people are not knowledgeable in altcoins, they just knew bitcoin which is given by its popularity and potentials. We've missed a lot of rockets these days.
