Bitcoin Forum

So like most of us I wish I had had the time to notice bitcoin in its infant stages, I had the technical expertise and IT knowledge to mine when it came out but never knew it existed.

I wish while I did know about it that I had put the $3-600 down to buy one coin even last year. rather than slowly piecing together 1 coin right now.

is anyone in the same boat?

I think before invest we should know about the investing industry. This may help to develop a industry. But this is a bitcoin investment, after investment not possible to change anything. Because less investment is more profit or loss. It will useful investing one business. Next time we will gain some knowledge about bitcoin.

The obvious one, not buying bitcoin when it was dirt cheap. Then buy at $100, and offloading them at $450, thinking I had scored a fantastic deal. Hindsight is wonderful, isn't it. Oh! How I wish, it does not work like that. Not even the longest term holders dreamt it will be like this.

No one knew that this would come up like this. It's okay bro. Just still be happy because you came in early than others.

The level of regret will depend on how quickly and how high the price of Bitcoin will be.  Like so many, I hugely regret getting in at a very low price, making a nice profit and cashing out some of what I had, and then watching it take off like it has.  Anyone right now would have loved to by in back when it was $100, but if one bought Bitcoin at $3,000 and it goes to $800,000, then that buyer shouldn't feel all that regretful.   ;)

that is because regret always comes to an end. I do not think it's too late to donate your money in bitcoin, this is a good time so you can get bitcoingold for free, and maybe add your wealth. it might be with that you can buy the house that you dream today

well pretty much but mine is opposite i have 4 bitcoins which in bought last year when bitcoin is still around 500-600 per coin i stored it for 10 months and i sold it when bitcoin reached the 1200 mark in march this year now i regret that i sold it i shoul've hold it longer i should have 24000 dollars now in my hand if i sold it today oh well past is past and i have still bitcoin hold to so, it's okay.

Yes , ofcourse spending together will do rather than Peircing one by one

Yeah, i know that feel. But look on the bright side, in the past few months there's been a surge in the price almost each week and we're hitting new ATH almost every month, so it's never too late to buy some coins and hold for the long term.

Yes most of us may be in the same boat, talking about myself I wish the same as you do that is I wish I knew about bitcoin back in 2009 or 2010 but I don't think it's of any use even discussing that. Even now it's not too late so let's better start now.

I would like to have known Bitcoin before, at least 2013. That was a good time, I could make a lot of profit even by using faucets on that time and holding until now! I would use faucets maximum as possible, grab all satoshis and who knows I could have now 1 Bitcoin just by using faucets... Also, on that time I believe it was much easier to refer people to main faucets like FreeBitco.in and FreeDoge.co.in, making a lot of profit from commissions.

I don't regret anything. I am happy to be here and now in these exciting times.
If I knew about bitcoin a few years ago, my holding would be probably much bigger, but it is how it is.
Now are times when we need to read a lot, because of many opportunities. Probably most of them are scams, therefore good research is required.
With good research and good investing strategy in coins, I am sure that we can extend our portfolio and earn a lot.
Good luck to everyone. 

We all are in the same situation, but i was lucky because i bought some bitcoins when the price was below $250 each btc, i am so happy because i could buy more than 10 bitcoins by that time, but i dumped most of them because i had some financial problems in the past, but now that i recovered for it, i dont have too much bitcoins to invest or just to keep holding for some time.
But i am still buying, i still believe in bitcoin and in how it will be in a few years.

How sure are you you wouldn't have called Bitcoin a scam at its infancy?

It depends on whether your view on the concept of Cryptocurrency back then is positive or negative. I bet over 80% of early adopters weren't motivated by the money but love for that concept.
How about now? What do you think about Cryptocurrency today?  Do you like what it represents? If the answer is no then it is most likely you would have called Bitcoin a scam back then or just never participated.
Are there coins you believe in and have currently invested in today for the long-term gain? then you may really be a crypto fan and could not have  missed bitcoin at its early stage..

Believe it or not there are one or two coins that will be as great as Bitcoin. No need for regrets.

I once bought 5 bitcoins for 500 dollar.... yeah, loooooog time ago :( biggest regret :'(

A lot of us is in the same boat.
It all happened so we just have to live by it and learn drom it too.
Now we know how valuable bitcoin could get and now we want more.
Those are in the past now and we have to move on if we want to profit. We dont need to buy a large amount if we cant but I know something will come up and that might be the last chance for us.

I am in the same situation too, but i bought 3 bitcoins at $600 each one and i am still holding them, i never sold a coin of those 3 because i always knew that the price was going to be higher than $6k, i am now in a x10 profit, bought them at $1800 and now i have $18000, it was one of the best investments i have ever did since i am alive.
I know a guy who bought 100 bitcoins at $100, but he sold them because he thought that bitcoin was not even going to be $200, now he wants to kill himself, poor of him..

I made the biggest mistake I made in my life these days. I have a financial loss that I can easily compensate. Never before has the crypto money ever hurt me so much.

My only regret is not starting a mining rig last November when profitability of graphic cards mining was at the roof. I only started in August which is very late to start with and the profitability is miserable. I am not making more than 65.000 satoshi daily from my 3 Ati Radeon Rx 480 cards.

regret because nobody believes that bitcoin will be like this then i'm also very sorry to myself when in 2013 i did not buy and store bitcoin at the time and now we see a very high price so i miss the chance and i will not miss me t. I have a chance to buy bitcoin and then I invest the future because I'm sure bitcoin will get higher with a very fantastic price so we will benefit from bitcoin if we are not afraid of its kind. The stupid thing that makes us going to resell the bitcoin

Of course I could've wound up with 10-50x more BTC if I'd timed my moves perfectly, especially with alts. Also I could've wound up with nothing. It's pointless thinking that way.

You want real regret? Be one of the people reading this thread in 5-10 years. Sorry, suckas.

Biggest regret would be selling @ $2900. I have my coins back when it was $200-$400 and accumulated over 10 btc during 2014. Patiently waited until $2900 and I thought that the bubble would be popped by then. Unfortunately I was wrong. Right after I sold most of my holdings, it immediately climbed to $3500, then to $4500 and the rest is history. Right now I'm still averaged @ $4000 and slowly buying again. This bullish trend is far from over.

Yes true! Same goes with me as well. When I started with bitcoin, the price of one bitcoin was at around 500 USD and I regret now why I didn't buy at that time. However, I didn't have that much money to put in to bitcoin that time. So I mostly regret about not buying ETH. I have seen ETH getting listed in the market and trading at 6 USD per ETH. But I was not very optimistic about it, so I didn't invest anything. Even though I had some money to invest which could have helped me to procure 20-30 ETH at that time. I would have been a rich man by today. That is the biggest investment regret I have that why I didn't buy ETH at the initial level even when I had money to invest.

You can't regret it unless you actively considered buying in at the time and choose not to because it was too risky or it was a scam.

In another 7 years time you might regret not buying in right now.

When you hear people say Bitcoin to 10k next year, or to 50k in 3 years, or 100k in 7 years, what goes through your mind? Do you think, yeah right, wishful thinking those people are delusional?

Well if you do think that, then you would have thought no differently back when Bitcoin was sub $20. People back then were also saying Bitcoin is going to $100, $500, $1k, $5K, and so on, and just as many people thought they were delusional at the time as people do now when someone says Bitcoin to $100k.

So really, there is no need for regret. BTC is just as capable now of a 10 or 20x return in 5-7 years time as it was back then. It will probably take quite a few corrections along the way, but if anything Bitcoins prospect's are stronger now than they were then as it has already survived one rise and fall and proven it is resilient enough to come bouncing back.

I think most would agree that not getting more involved with bitcoin a few years back is a big regret. Some of something is better than nothing I don't think many people now can buy a single bitcoin like you could of even 2 years ago. Some regrets now for most would be selling too early. 

I'm also in the same boat because I heard about bitcoin in the year 2011 through paper which advertised a guy who want to sell bitcoin for $50 that time if can recollect. I was earning pretty money through work that time which make me have the thought of not wasting my time since I earn more than enough but the story change after I loose my job and I later step into bitcoin when it the price was at $800-900 range.

Well initially I'm at the same position as yours, back when I heard it I totally disregard and didn't thought that it will reached this kind of heights in just a few years. Even the start of this year, bitcoin is lower than $1000 I think so I can still go in but didn't do it. However, someone told me again about bitcoin that's why I decided to devout myself and totally forgot about the past because it will bother you like hell because you didn't invest early. That's why I just try to get bitcoin in small portions because I can't afford to get 1 full bitcoin now. But I guess we are still not late though, we can accumulate bitcoin overtime and just make it as a long term investment. Just move forward and look at the bright side of bitcoin. What opportunity it can bring to us in the future.

That is why we needed to see the whitepaper of the coin so that we can know if that coin is a shitcoin or not. Then if it isn't a shitcoin then go invest on that coin so that you won't regret in the future.

I've known about bitcoin for a few years, but I've only come to believe in its usefulness in probably
the past year and a half.  And what I regret is that I didn't buy a whole bunch back when I could
have bought it at $400 or so.  I mean really, I could have make like a 15X profit, and that's insane.

I don't trade altcoins, so no mistakes there.  I just regret that I've sold bitcoin in the past when
I obviously (in retrospect) should have held.  There are probably a LOT of people in the same boat
here.  Never expected bitcoin to be above $6000.   :(

I regret when I saw an article on net about the Winklevos that they were investing in Bitcoin and I totally ignored. Now in 2017 it I started to look at it. So let see if this hype goes on!

I think pretty much everyone that didn't get in at those price ranges are having regrets. But does it matter right now? I don't think so. It's very very unlikely and next to impossible to go back to those $1000 or below price ranges. The only thing we can do right now is to hop on right in and just wait for more price rises. If we wait more longer we would once again regret it especially if prices go higher really soon.

Don't worry. $6000 is still pretty low.  ;)

From those of us that were here when bitcoins were 90 USD, yes, we are all in the same boat.  :-\

No matter how many bitcoins your purchased when they were cheap, given what the price has done most sane folks probably wish they had purchased more. There was no way to anticipate all this growth. Tbh, I don't think its sustainable, but thats a different thread ;)

But there is hope. Bitcoin is the prototype; there are myriad other coins with the potential of bitcoin, if not more. The key to success with BTC was early adoption. Meta, this whole scene is still quite bleeding edge. Look for the next bitcoin ;)

We have our own regrets that we kept secret because we don't want people to hear and you don't want to tell them because you could be worth thousands or hundreds dollars by now. That's why sometimes this subject is really hard to discussed. LOL.

However, I agree with the poster above, we don't need to deal with or no more or rub it on our face. We can't bring back the past. What matters is how we cope up today and in the future. So we better get those precious bitcoin and not to wait a little longer so that we can all make a good profits.

No one could have expected bitcoin to get to these prices in its earlier stages. If you made a gain just be thankful and keep it up.

I have regrets as you. I know to bitcoin in 2014 but in 2016 I learn about it then the price at around 700 $ / 1BTC. however I still have not invested in it, much later Bitcoin reached $ 2000 i invested in it. and now the bitcoin price is 59xx $. most of the people's are like to invest bitcoin. investing in Bitcoin never be late. If ignore Bitcoin today, next year you will regret it when the price is $10000

Well, when I came to know about Bitcoin for first time, it was dwelling around $300-400. But the media was itchy from always. 9 of 10 articles claim Bitcoin to be a bubble at that time and predicted its downfall very soon.
As being manipulated by these articles, I never cared to buy Bitcoin back then and regretted lot when it started surging beyond $1K from 2016.

Maybe that time some of us would really think that bitcoin is a scam, enough reason for us not to get involve in the bitcoin world. But we're wrong. I regret that I just ignore my friends when they were talking about bitcoin a year ago. Hoping that as of now I'm already earning bitcoins. Nevertheless, I think it's not yet late and I'm happy that I'm already a bitcoin user and hoping that I can do investing soon.

Till now my biggest regrets is i bought antshare at 1$
and sold it at 2$.
If i could hold it till now i would have been rich now.
These type of things literally happens with everyone.
I think there is lot's of opportunity out there to recover these.

until now I still shadow shadows and ask myself, why do not I buy most of my money for bitcoin in 1-2 years ago and I would have become a billionaire if I buy it then, and now I start thinking and run bitcoin investment, although now the price is quite expensive for me, but I think there is no harm and a late word for investing in bitcoin because the price is always going to the moon.

I bought an iPhone 5s for 1.1BTC long time ago. But no, I'm not regretting it. You still have time to invest in BTC, if you believe in it. Future may be 1000x brighter.

At that very time, you will regret instead of writing this post, you should have actually jumped into the boat.

I am in the same situation too, but i bought 3 bitcoins at $600 each one and i am still holding them, i never sold a coin of those 3 because i always knew that the price was going to be higher than $6k, i am now in a x10 profit, bought them at $1800 and now i have $18000, it was one of the best investments i have ever did since i am alive.

Technically speaking I have some regrets I wish could undergo other courses especially Information Technology or any Computer Engineer so that I could have wide knowledge and be mentally prepared for the advances in our technology. But its never too late for us especially now that we have the help of search engines like google in the internet that would have huge help in our problems almost anything can be found in the internet now a days except for our smart decision making skills in investing in bitcoins.

Yup! there is nothing to regret about it, it is your own choice to use and spend your bitcoin, and we can always catch up to it by earning it here, trading your bitcoin with other Altcoins, Waiting for some Developer Free coins and you can always invest in small portions of bitcoin and wait for the price to increase in a great amount, and as of now the value is at $6075.01 per bitcoin what else can we attain in the future.

It sucks of course, I heard of it when it was still really cheap but I underestimated it because I listened to people who had studied economics and told it was just a big bubble. I also regret investing in some projects (which I will not mention since I still hope they will rise) that still have nothing to show. But I think we could be a lot worse off. I think most of us here have already made a satisfying amount with cryptos altogether, and that's a lot more than most of the world population can say about themselves ;)

Regretting what you have did in the past won't help you to earn more bitcoins, just move on and accept the fact, there is a lot of ways on how you could have one bitcoin in your wallet, all you have to do is to be a hard working person, spend most of your time on doing bitcoin and one day, you are just going to notice that you have more than 1 bitcoin in your wallet.

And also, you must not spend your bitcoins to the things that is not worth on spending it, for example is the things that you wants, hence, spend your bitcoins on the things that you needed the most.

Make your regrets as your lesson to not do the same thing for the next years. It is alright that you didn't buy at those prices because you can still buy at the current price right now and just hold it for a lot of years and wait for your investment to go to the top because the price is just getting heated and i think that it will go up even more in this incoming few months and before the year ends.

I also have a regret about bitcoin before when i know the price is just 600$ i am afraid before because i was think this is what we are now but even the price got higher i still holding a little bitcoin in my wallet

In the last month, I have just sold all of my bitcoin to buy ethereum and it is my biggest regret. I can not believe that ethereum is so weak and after the hard fork, ethereum can not increase its price. I think the main factor here is that people want to receive bitcoin gold and they are buying more and more bitcoin to earn the value from both bitcoin and bitcoin gold. Damn it. I should be smarter. Bitcoin could bring me a big profit right now

I invested in Bitcoin a few years ago but sold it at a much lower amount. Still regret it but hopefully I'm still not too late to make some decent money.

When i started buying Bitcoin, the price is already high and surging. I'm interested and i dont have a choice so i just ride the wave. However, i though if i contemplate further and regret it, then i will never ever be reaping the price appreciation. Im still happy if i have never invested on its infancy stage, at least i'm already a BTC investor now. a little by little, im already earning.

This has been the regret of many. Even I get tempted to sell my coins whenever there is a price increase, and then have some regrets when it gets higher just right after. However, my suggestion to OP is not to have any regrets because you shouldn't put all your money in bitcoin. Always invest what you can afford to lose. It's best to leave some for emergencies and have some contingencies.

A bigger regret I had was not being able to earn or invest on Bitcoin a few years back when I first discovered bitcoin. Had I been able to invest back then, I would probably have profited a lot. The price was a lot lower during that time.

My major regrets are for investing in HYIP when I first started trading bitcoin. Some of those cloud mining companies have been scamming people

In that time you can buy bitcoin and you can make a profit with that because his price continues to grown and increase more and more hurry up and don't waste time

I am one of the people who knew about Bitcoin back when you could still mine it with GPU's, but I ignored it and rather spend

the time to play games with the expensive GPU's. So knowing about it and making the decision to do it, was not guaranteed.

I could have never predicted that a bitcoin would be valued at $6000 when I first heard about it. Fortunately for me, I bought

some at $300 to $400, so I did make some good money. People can still make money, if they mine some of the new Alt coins

that are ASIC proof.  ;)

as a  human we really have a regret in any diff. Kinds of dicision we  have made because we really dont know what was happening in the next few hours from now.and i really believe that all of us are experiencing regrets in life even in investing gambling or maybe in trading.but we need this dicision to become prudent enoughf in the near future

No need to be sorry about what happened earlier. we need to move on and believe in bitcoin and its further growth). I sold my bitcoins then 600$? there is a small regret, but it was in the past.

I mean we all have that moment where we look back and saw that we sold too early or didn't jump on a opportunity when you said you would, it's best not to reflect on those things and look for new opportunists and try not to miss them.

I got to know bitcoin when its price is still like $400.  I did not pay attention to it since I am not into it and I have a job.  It just now that I realized I could earn big if I will invest.  If I will buy amd earn bitcoins and keep it then in due time I will become rich.  I regret the time that I did not believe in bitcoin.

Already carrying too much of regrets as the right time has passed already! Yes that was golden period to invest into bitcoin. It always confuses me when I look at the current price which is 6K and it's too expensive to buy in the first place. I mean I know that next year the price would be more than 10K but don't know why, why I can't believe in it to spend that much money into it. It's very risky business but those who keep faith and out big get big, that's the mantra for it.

Yeah I took out 18 bitcoins for a business venture that I never got thru with because I planned it all wrong.  that today is worth 90 grand vs the 17 grand it was worth then, I could have def made that investment this year without losing anything :(

Hey, i feel your pain, i first looked at bitcoin about 4 years ago and did not make a move. What a bad decision that was, to think what my portfolio could be worth now, :( but hey, no point in dwelling on the past just keep accumulating more and more coins over the next few years. People next year will be wishing they had started now etc.

I am doing a little investing with Bitpetite, which is a great way to invest with the big 3 - BTC, ETH and LTC. Check it out https://youtu.be/IUJ8R202Mmw

I am trading with Coincube as they have a crypto index/hedge style fund that tracks the top 30 currencies automatically and will rebalance the fund daily or weekly etc. based on what your risk level is. So far so good but its early days so fingers crossed.

I am also doing some mining which makes a nice return, check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBGnziClsjo

to be tell you the truth in 2013 I started a IT start up and one of my clinet needed a bitcoin exchange website back then i 1st came accross abot its price and it was 300usd. seeing that my eye went lit up and i thought woooooooow how can something be that much expencivie back then it was the most expensive currency and only few know about that.
And now after seeing bitcoin hit 6100 i am feeling like an idiot .That initial reaction of me made me stay where i am right now.
If instade i reacted woooooow its soooo cheap lets buy it.I would become millionaire right now.
I am not an millionaire and that's for a reason...:(   

There are countless people who are on the same boat as you and that includes me. And our similarities does not end in being late on btc investment. I also have background in IT and you know how frustrating that was when you found out about btc a little late. Wondering how it slipped your radar haha! But then again it's not yet late for us to slowly achieve our first ever coin.

I believe there are many real life stories in investment regrets. For me, I wish I bought BTC earlier and not selling some coins before the price rise.

But I would say move on and invest in the crypto now. There should be no regrets in the future.

there is no personal word of regret about bitcoin I do not think you have instinct and analysis that is less mature and too rushed to invest, every successful businessperson must have experienced losses and errors due to losses and mistakes it as our motivation for the future to be more good

It makes no sense to regret what you have not bought bitcoins before. First you anything can't change. Secondly, now you have experience. It also costs money. You can think about that lost opportunity to make money is a fee for the experience. Agree that now you have the opportunity not to make such mistakes in the future and may compensate your loss.

 i bought 0.5 btc when it was very low and used to buy other coins . now all those other coins are down . nevertheless wait for the right opportunity to sell. No regrets

I regret not buying when I could of. I had the money but I just didnt think bitcoin would take off like this and especially this quick

All of us regreat that we didn't know what is gong to happen. But this is real world, we do not have a time machine to change what's happened. But we can use our knowlege to predict what's going to happen in the future - and I'm sure that a lot of pantastic opportunities are waiting just at the cornet!

As your opinion toward bitcoin. I prefer you to buy bitcoin because the price of bitcoin is guaranteed while other investments are not. Bitcoin giving people a huge chance to earn more because in future there will be one currency in the world which is known as bitcoin so what do you want more from bitcoin?

Yeah, I feel you. Im also one of those people who ignored btc when it first came and those times that the value of it is to low that we still can afford to buy lots of btc. However, it's all in the past. Lets just move on. :(

I also regret why i don't know bitcoin earlier! :( But i think there are many people who regret it more because before, the price is so cheap, yet they sell it because they think bitcoin won't be higher. That time, they sell it just for around $100+ i think? But then now the price become hella insane and i think they would want their old bitcoin back and brcome millionare now.
So now i tend to not be stupid and spare my money to buy bitcoin because i believe in the future the price will be more and more expensive!

I regret that i cash a lot of time some of my bitcoin when the price is low compared to now. I withdraw some bitcoin when the price is around 2000$ and when the price in 4000$ and 4500$, It's false descions made by me, but In the lastest two time, I need urgently some money to buy some stuffs that i need to much. This is why. but i think from now, i will save a lot of bitcoin rather than exchange every period of time.

What is an investment industry and will that knowledge help the industry or the individual.if you invest and if you want to get out it you can always sell your asset and convert it into fiat,what makes you think that it is impossible to change anything.There is nothing you will gain on regretting what you did not,just see what you can do now and live with that.

This is not just last opportunity as we can see in the market. There are so many things, events, periodic upgrades over the blockchain and bitcoin. They always create the opportunity for us, it not like that price of bitcoin is off the chart currently but we can still make profits out of it in next ten years. The way it hiked from 2009-2017 will be the same thing from 2018-2025 or something like that. So just focus on the investments and let's have that past back!

As a beginner in crypto currencies I also found a great way to invest with the big 3 - BTC, ETH and LTC.

As far as regret goes i guess its my fear of not committing more at the start. However, i like to think that fear is my self defense mechanism to prevent me getting stunk should this investment turn sour. So far so good, 8 weeks in and my $100 is now $800, every daily payout i immediately reinvest to create a compounding effect, hence the impressive growth.

I know this sounds to good to be true, blah blah blah, but all i can say is that it is bloody working and i already got my original $100 out so just working from profit.

always on doubt at first ! and afterwards we regret that doubt ! been on the same boat but still wanting to have not just mining but time travel :D and buy bitcoin when it was 0.5 usd each !

As I have noticed too, and like the other experiences, if only I was able to discover bitcoin when it was made and had invested since. It would be possible that an investment made since then would be a hundred times the capital risked. But even though it has bloomed already and a lot of people has knowledge about bitcoin which made it very harder for earnest users than those scammers and freeloaders. An investment today would not be regrettable since the price is still rising.

I think anyone who already encounter Bitcoin on its early days and haven't invest even a little, will surely have a great regrets on their life,. Just like me, it was happen to me three times, First was year 2009, where you can still use CPU to mine BTC. then at 2011 and third was 2013.

Can you imagine, how frustrated I am to get even a portion of Bitcoin now, which perhaps I could have a hundred or thousand Bitcoin when I pursue mining year back 2009.

I looked at my web search history and I searched for bitcoin as far back as 2013. Then later in 2016 and January 2017. Every time I turned back because bitcoin.com was not satisfactory and other news outlets were all extremely negative.

I'm sure many people here are on the same boat they all regret they never knew bitcoin before but this not make any sense now because as much as you could you can never turn back time the only thing you can do is invest now if you because it is still believe that bitcoin is indervalued and it will continue to appreciate in the future so you can still earn

It is not only you but many of us have the same regret. Even I also recognized BTC at an early stage of $500-600 but don't have trust on it. One of my friends asked me to invest $500 at that time but I ignored him saying it as another online scam.
We can't go back in time so no benefit in regretting, Instead of that start working hard and try to catch more bounties and campaign so that you can earn more and more BTC.

my biggest investment regret that I put my investment money on forex despite I could buy some btc. I couldn't make money with forex but btc did rise incredibly.

 Mostly all of us  experience regrets in our life,but thats fine because everything happen has a reason.Me my greatest regrets when first time my co -workers convience me to joined bitcoin world but i've hesitate and doubt about it and when the time he earned and change his bitcoin into fiat i envey him and that time i realized that if i trust first of what he lecture me  maybe i earned also bitcoin now,but its not to late i can cath-up the bus.

Majority of the people who owns a coin right now experienced the same thing. I myself had the same experience.
Only few people believed that bitcoin will be on the situation where it is right now, but that is a good thing. Investing
on the coin right now is not too late we can say that right now it is on it's toddler stage and has a lot of stage to come.

Doing my first BTC investment on early September when it had a big increase (heard rumors it would keep on rising, so it felt like now or never), and missing out on the mid September dip to invest a bit more. After it reached a new high once again I was feeling better as I would not be selling at a loss, but it still hurt to know I could have gotten more BTC for my investment. Oh well, it is a volatile market and that's the way you learn.

i know bitcoin earlier and the regret is not investing on that time i waste my time to do faucet and i didn't know that you can buy bitcoin in remitance center... if i do that early and that time is i know how to trade? maybe i have  enough of coin right now maybe i can buy what i need for now....

Yes I also have thoughts like you, but I do not buy bitcoins with my money. It really sucks when we know the bitcoin price right now. Oh, my God.

While I regret too, I don't think it's worth worrying about. I suspect that whenever you buy you regret you didn't buy it sooner, even those people who bought it when it was less than $100.

The same experience I've felt, it's been long enough to know the bitcoin from 2014 but by then I just spent the time to get the bitcoin just from the tap because it was still a beginner at the time and was too cold doing bitcoin tap.If I can think further to see the bitcoin price movement as it is now then the thing I will do is to invest more in bitcoin starting 2014 then.

I feel the same regret I first heard of the coin when it was $900 a piece but never invested on it.
Thought it was just something that will eventually loss its value.

I decided to invest on it when the price was already at $3000 a piece if I made it before I should have bought 3 coins rather than having just 1.

You cannot guarantee anything when it comes to investment,it has its risk like every other investment and it all depends upon the market,the optimistic view is that the price keeps on climbing and there is nothing wrong in investing your money in bitcoin for the long run,but you cannot guarantee that the price will keep on rising forever. ;)

My investment regrets in bitcoin is I dont buy when the price of bitcoin is very low.....and now the bitcoin is almost $6000...But they say its better to be late than never..so right now im focus in building of mining rig...and in joining in some campaign..

Isn’t this why every bitcoin breakout goes to stunning highs? FOMO has been real for the 2 and a half years.

i think many of us have the same regret to not buying the coin when the price is still cheap and now the price is jump into hundreds dollar and its normal to  feel like that. but if we can learn from our mistake in the past, i think we can make decision to buy the coins when we think that the price can increase soon so we don't have to regret again. and i think this is the reason that we should learn about analyze the coins that we want to buy so we can determine the right price we want to buy.

To tell you the truth a lot of us started in late, with Bitcoin being more popular now compared to when it was priced below 600$. Many people right now have missed the chance of buying Bitcoin at a cheaper price and here all them scrambling to get just even a piece of Bitcoin. Even me for instance have passed the chance to buy Bitcoin when it dropped at the price of 500$ last year now it is twelve times more expensive. The regret is there but there is nothing I can do about it.

Wish I had bought more Bitcoin before hard forks
Should have went harder in some icos and less in others
need to reinvest
learn to take emotion out of the equation

yesterday i follow scam campaign. i do the rule careful (before know it scam, because it make me sure), wait until ico end. but until now the coin not spread to member, investor, or bounty member. first i read about that ico it realy good and convince.
if want to invest, you must know the background about ico, all team, and all stuff that in there. think twice which one is best and not scam.
its ok collect one coin than you invest and spend some money.

Well i will share my investment regret whereby i took debt to invest in bitcoin scheme and it turned out to be ponzi one and i still had to pay
the debt.  :(
I suggest you to pay what ever debt you have before you put your money into bitcoin, you can have it all, the profits you can gain and no more problems if you pay first right? And who knows bitcoin will grow more so you can get large profit with out thinking those debt.

I totally understand where are you coming from. It is not too late for us. One upcoming coin caught my eye and their business plan is promising. Check Propthereum.io, they are an asset backed coin and are expecting great coin appreciation in a short period of time.  Proceeds from their ICO will be used to buy A-grade property worldwide which will generate rental income.

If I only knew that Bitcoin already exist back 2009 and knew that it will be like this today (that it benefits people in many ways), then I should have started joining years ago. But what really made me so regretful is that I just ignored my friends when I heard that they were talking about bitcoin a year ago. Hopefully, I'm already earning a lot of bitcoin now and currently involve in some investment. However, I'm glad that now I am one of those bitcoin users and looking forward that I will be able to do investment in the next few months.

My biggest regret is investing a less amount than I had decided to invest. It could have been much more profitable If I had invested the amount in my head some years ago.

Hello. heard about bitcoin 3 years ago. started looking in to it, was blow away by the idea and technique. Decided to invest. Then forgot all about it because i stopped working and started studying again. Studying is good

Cheers

Definitely many regrets! Back in 2012 I met a guy who was really into BTC - just passionate about the tech and it's possibilities. He told me a few times I should buy and get involved, but the idea sounded so foreign to me that I ignored him and wrote off the whole thing. About 2.5 years later I bought my first coin and paid significantly more than if I would have just listened to the crazy tech guy  :'( ....

haha. Me too i have regrets on investing through bitcoin .like what happened before when i decide to invest a large amount then suddenly bitcoin fall deep. Lol but as of now no more regrets for me cause bitcoin keep climbing and the investment site is trustworthy such as classified investment site . So for now i am confident and no regrets .

i too have sold and bought things with bitcoin when it was cheaper.. but at the time even that was pure profit.. so no regrets..

Everyone here does dude.Once you have read the different story about bitcoin missuse,it will probably make you feel some regret about not buying it some few years ago.If I have bought even 5 bitcoin in 2012 Im pretty sure that I will have some money now.

I regretted not knowing the bitcoin earlier. If I knew bitcoin earlier, when it's price was low, I invested in it and now I could have had a house. I believe that if I try, I will get a lot of money from bitcoin.

You should not invest more than the amount that would financially hurt you if you lost all of it. Although bitcoin is going strong for the moment, since this cryptocurrency thing is happening for the first time ever, no one knows how things will eventually pan out. So always invest with caution.

My biggest regret is that I had the money this time last year to buy 1btc but I foolishly invested in a Ponzi scheme platform that ricked me now.

When bitcoin isn't in your wallet it you don't have any control of it, so invest bitcoin is so risky. Trading in famous exchange is better than only send your bitcoin to invesment site and wait.

regret investment is at the time of investment in ICO and also use bitcoin but ICO is not very good the price is also very low. it is very unfavorable to investors and will be detrimental.

Yup same boat here. Your money would've double by now if you invested on buying 1 BTC. If I only knew bitcoins early on and bought a ton load of bitcoins I would've been a bitcoin millionaire and I would've been investing in ICOs.

Obviously. The timing of investment is more important than skill, and when you choose a good time to join, maybe more than those professionals earn. My own investment experience is that when you think this project has a future, then buy, buy immediately.

yeah 3 yrs ago a friend of mine ask me to try investing in crypto and i just laugh at him and say DONT BE A FOOL INVESTING ON THAT ONLINE SCAM..then we got separated for some reason and after almost 2 years we meet again and he is a very successful man.and i ask how did you get that much for such a short time,and he told me 'mit was the online scam that i asked you to join'' from there i started investing here and now on my eay for success too

That was my biggest regret to, turning down and disregarding bitcoin opportunities in those early times. Even when it was introduced it again to me by my friend I didn't move asap because I was still skeptical about different things about it but as I go deeper the more I realized that I just wasted such golden opportunity.

Regrets here in crypto world is just around of the corner and we're all victims of not believing bitcoin before and there just few people who trust bitcoin early and sitting now in their huge profit. The price before isn't attractive and no one can really forsee its future but still I found myself fortunate by knowing bitcoin by this far as bitcoin is in the early stage of adoption and I think we're just less than 5% of the world population who just know crypto currency, isn't that we're lucky? So now I'm using its full extent of crypto currency.

regrets with having not invested before is better than investing into something and then loses all of your investment.
and this experience mustn't be treated as pure regrets..
but instead it will be better for us to use this as a tool for us to become a better person.
everyone must experience this kind of situation in their life so that they can be well equipped for future challenges.
:D

I am in the same boat. I had 100 dollars by year 2013 and I dont know how to invest at that time. I could have known better.

I may be more amenable when we take the decision and choose the investment. Because with that I am sure it can make us add knowledge and also experience. Experience can not we buy because experience exists when we dare to take all the existing conditions. Learning every time will increase our skill.

Yes! These regrets and more! If we could have learned it earlier or took it seriously the time we first learned of it, then what could we have been now. But thinking again, even if we have bought earlier, there are still many chances that we have backed out in the middle of it all, chances that we became to scared we sold everything, skeptic that we dscontinued. So it's such a pain to live in the past and remember the "I should have's" not knowing if we will also make every right decision in the process. And it could also be a discouragement and slowdown than to work on what we have now and hopefully gain what we have missed out.

I have a feeling of remorse simply because i didn't invest in bitcoin before when it's value is cheaper and i have a big amount of money on my bank account. Now, bitcoin's price rises high and i don't have enough money to invest on it.

The biggest regrets that you will ever regret is that you didn't invest when you have. And you didn't earn money when you free.

Why wonder what would have happened if, but suddenly you would have completely died then, who knows. Then it was easier because there was less demand, now it is certainly more difficult, but nobody is sure what will happen with bitcoin in a year. And again come the times you dream about.

When I started out with bit coin, I had only 2 that my friend gifted to me. And then I sold one when it hit $1500, because I needed the money. Now I have one bitcoin left, but I'm just going to hold until it hits the $50000 mark. Then I will sell, maybe. Or maybe I will look at the hype and the markets and decide. Not much regrets though, because I still have my one bitcoin!

I have a stash of bitcoin, and I had sold 5 to invest in Ether, and now I'm not sure how I feel about doing that, since ETH is not rising the way BTC is. But considering that we have so many upcoming applications like Nucleus.Vision, Jibrel and AppCoins being built on the Ethereum blockchain, I'm optimistic that Eth has a strong future, so I'm gonna keep holding most of it, and maybe invest 10-20% into select token sales. It's always good to have a decent basket of currencies.

Same mistake. I should've just bought 1 bitcoin and just YOLOed than actually buying piece-by-piece to form a bitcoin. That's one thing I regret most when I bought bitcoins. And one thing I regret is I should've bought etheriums and litecoins too. I only sought after bitcoins and think of the others.

Yes sir, you are not the only one who haven't realized bitcoin's value back then, but now you are seeing its true value and potential in the future which is a good thing. We always start at some point wherein we only realize the true value once it has been proven just like btc reaching the price of $10k - to some investors, it's their starting point. What matters most is our goal and how to achieve it. Research and invest in alts to increase your BTC for long term.

When you dont know what your doing when you try invest you might be regret it, so before you do investment make sure you have knowledge about it and make sure your are ready to anything might happen. For me regret it when i dont try it and do nothing.

My biggest regret is that I did't start reading about bitcoin when a friend of mine told me about it. And he ask me if I want to invest. That was back in 2009 at the beginning. Now we met again and we actually bought bitcoin this time. It's never too late for the cryptocurrency.

Every investors has its own regrets and I am one of  them who has a big regret as well. I remembered during the time when the value of the bitcoin was still low and my friend encouraged me as well to buy bitcoin but I didn't bother to listen to him I just focus on my earnings in signature campaigns while he always buy when he has money and now has really earned a lot.

My story is a little bit different.When i returned from dubai last december,its price was just $850.I had 1 BTC with me as my saving.But i was not able to hold it as there was an economic crisis in india due to demonitisation.So i had to sell my bitcoin to meet my family expenses.

But now,i regret for selling my bitcoin.Now if i had that bitcoin,i could even buy a flat in my country.Now,i'm trying again to save 1 bitcoin but its very difficult to do so.Opportunities never remain the same all the time.

It depends. Because if you are wrong in investing some company that is the time that you will regret. But if you are wise in investing you will know that you are right in some other way. Investing to buy some wallets are great, so you can trade it into some other coins.

I've actually invested in Monero, Ether and Bitcoin and although I've sold a bunch of bitcoin (like a fool) over the years, I've always held the XMR and ETH because I see both as potential replacements for BTC. But that said, I'm considering spending ETH on a few token sales like Nucleus Vision, Luxcess and WePower, because they seem like good bets, but I'm in two minds. Anyone got an opinion?

The biggest regret would be not buying bitcoins a bit earlier.

We all got our reasons to regret. When it comes to BTC, I too regret that I did not know about BTC at its infant age. But important thing to keep in mind is that there are lot of new opportunities out there if you are willing to take the risk.

There is lot of coins come out and mooned recently and if you were lucky enough to make some investment on them, you will get what you missed from BTC. But anybody does not know what will happen at the next minute, so everything comes with its own risk component. If you select new ICOs with good recognition, you will hit the jackpot.

I have invested in We Power and Sun Contract who have similar project. Every of these is successful and already in movement by their patent platform.
I've also checked Luxcess project and their patent platform.
They have interesting terminology, by mixing crypto and fiat together with these offices and beside that making profit with tradings and other investments.
Than I would like to say the same meaning for Cindicarot, which makes me 400% profit, while I made perfect trade and bought it after BTC correction at 0.05$

These project seems very good to me and if I compere Cindicator and Luxcess, both project has analytics and traders in their game, beside that I'm forex & crypto trader, what I understand is their idea, what makes me feel great investment.

This year is also one of the best year for ICOs beside project who already make their promisses in reality.
Why I prefer these ICOs for 2018 is because regualtives are coming and it's less risky to invest in ICOs, and more trustment.

I wish I bought bitcoin instead of Ethereum when ETH was 340 USD. Then I wish I did not sell ETH when it was 420 USD and buy Bitcoin was 16.5K.
I also wish I did not sell XRP when it was .20 USD :)
