Mine was selling Verge before it went 13X lol.

Everybody post their biggest mistake!

something easy to guess :)) I did not buy Bitcoin while it was few dollars ...

nowdays .. TRX not sure when this is going to recover...

Selling Raiblocks before it went completely parabolic. I sold most of my bag at a 4x when it went as high as 65x, kill me now :'(.

There are so many mistakes that I've done in the past, especially when I'm impatient on selling the coins (I have a short-mind where I think the price is really high) but the unexpected thing happens and the price's rocket really high, beyond my selling point.

It is not actually a biggest mistake but rather a biggest regret when I sold my coins into a cheaper prices because of this weird premonition that I thought it will crash then suddenly after I sold them the price went up like tripple of the price higher than the time I sold it. it happened to me three times already. now I am vey careful and I am reading all the sources before I will sell my coins.

The biggest mistake was in 2012 when a friend of mine bought hundred of bitcoins and I was skeptical that time. Now it would have been great to have bought in the same time with him

In december Bitcoin price dropped from 20k to 17k and so i bought my very first little bit of Bitcoin when it was 17k. That i see as my biggest mistake.

For me it does not matter the price of bitcoin. My biggest mistake was that I didn't believe that bitcoin will be recognized. It was a very good idea to become popular. Now I am the last person to leave bitcoin. I can have an income at any price of bitcoin. Most important for me is that bitcoin has always existed. There are very few. Need to resolve the issue with the cost of transaction and speed of confirmation.

My biggest mistake was that I did not get onto the crypto market in the early stages of bitcoins even though I have heard about this technology, which would have changed my life completely, now let's not waste our time thinking about what we did not do when there was a chance , think positively and move with the flow as it is never too late to get into this beautiful crypto invention which has the capacity to improve the living standard and uplift the economic and financial conditions of the world.

The big mistake for me that i have sell more then 50 btc when the btc price was 200 $ but anyway it s not impossible to re built myself again .

Sold all bitcoins when it was on $732

Focusing too much on BTC and ignoring the alts.

Invest in scam project!

Doing marginal trading was the worst mistake I ever did. I would initially do a X5-X10 margin trades and was doing good profit in it. But then I went 100X and lost much btc in it. Although, I have recovered from loss by other good trades but marginal trading becomes an obsession for gambling when you go 100X. Never do 100X.

I don't consider them mistakes but It would have been great if I bought more bitcoins and other coins a year ago when the price was so low

I have sold more then you X20 but be sure anyone can get back in few months .

A lot of biggest crypto mistakes Ive done so far when trading. Buy high and suddenly selling low in this case a big mistakes was happen with a big profit lose. Also, not determined of decision making when buying and selling coins that resulted to a whole total lose.

My biggest mistake before is not believing my uncle about bitcoin atuff, knowing that he's my one my trusted relatives in our family and yet I never believe that bitcoin will be famous and legit thing, he introduced me bitcoin way back 2016 and that time bitcoin has less money value still, after 2 years I realize how bitcoin raise the value from 2016 to 2018 the price was being tripled, Now my uncle own a nice 2 car and a small business. And he's laughing at me now.

my biggest mistake was not to buy bitcoin in 2013 as a friend told me to buy. i was to scared. but since last year i'm here in the bitcoin business.

This is the most regret by users of not buying bitcoin when it was cheap. Our biggest mistakes is not adopting bitcoin at an early stage. Because the felling of might we get scam before but now we have more time in bitcoin.

Yeah, i can still kick my own butt not to buy it when it was cheep. This was really my biggest mistake not adopting bitcoin when it was cheep.  :'( :'( :'(

My mistake was that I came to know about Bitcoins very late. I was active as an online marketer in the year 2010 and used to get payments in PayPal. I got a job and left the online work. I returned back in 2017 only to find some of my friend had become millionaires as they used to take payments in Bitcoin from 2012 or so. Had I remained active in internet marketing field, I would have made enough to retire already.

Wasting time on cloud mining in 2015.

The biggest mistake that I have done with cryptocurrency is when I did not invest in bitcoin before when I knew about it and did not do anything. My friend introduced me to bitcoin the price I think it was still $13 per bitcoin and I totally missed the chance to be a millionaire but life still goes on and now I'm investing with it when the price is already $3k.  

i am so regretful for not buying more neo instead of tron. i also bought ripple but i could convert to the ethereum. however, i could not sell tron due to its sharp fall and deeply sorry for that decision.

So far Buying Ripple at 2.8$ like an idiot thinking it was just a dip .Then the whole market crashed , many recovered but not ripple ,although they had many partnership announcements . The price kept going down more and more so i was forced to sell at a huge loss and thank god i did ,because it did fall way more from there . But i've learned from that to never again buy the hype , and what seems to be overpriced is most likely overpriced. Also don't be the last one holding the bags.

I always made a bad decision before when I am converting my Bitcoin into fiat currency because whenever I convert it into our currency then an hour later the price of Bitcoin just reached the ATH :( one of my mistake also is when the Bitcoin was introduced in 2009 I had a friend that suggest me to buy it but I didn't >:( >:(

Losing $5000 because I didn't follow the golden rule and backup...
I lost my temper with my laptop because hte cursor kepy snaping back in place, all I needed to do was reset it but I was so pissed off I slapped the laptop a few times and ya... The hdd stopped working. Then I guess I should have kept it and tried to get the info off it by paying those special services  that recover data but then I thought rather not because then what if they steal all my bitcoins and other coins after restoring it and then say they don't know what I am talking about, Or worse..... They wait for months till I fill my MEW wallet with different coins then they steal it. I didn't have a ledger then and all I needed to do was take the 30 seconds it would have taken to grab my flash drive and back it up to that. Now I have a ledger and everything is safe.
Moral of the story, don't lose your temper.... oh and backup.... Oh and be honest with yourself so it doesn't happen again, don't make excuses in other words.

Well mine was buying it when it was 13X and now it roams around 7X. lost half my money on it. However biggest mistake was what I did today. I have some holdings on Indian exchange app Zebpay. Today as Finance minister of India announced budget and said cryptos aren't legal I immediately sold btc as I knew the price will crash. I however also made a INR withdrawal request which transfered my funds to bank. This was the biggest mistake. Why?

Actually when I sold BTC it was at 7 lacs($10600) approx. a big hodler came to the exchange and sold around 200 BTC and mometarily in front of my eyes price went straightaway t 2.5 lacs($4000 USD) approx. and recovered in two minutes back to 6.5 Lacs($10000). If I hadn't made an INR withdrawal request I would have just doubled my money out of nothing. Even the amount I sold was quite big around 2 Lacs.

Bought Tron at 0.3 and regret not selling at 0.25. :(

I've dabbled with Cloud Mining as well, that was a waste of coins. Most people are falling for the same scheme.

My biggest mistake was when i always followed my emotions in deciding moments. And never getting over it. I must control my emotions from now. And I hope I can do it.

On the first day of my bitcoin journey, I fell into this scam thing too. I wasn't aware of the possibility because the reward they offered had covered my mind. I can't think clearly before putting my money on cloud mining sites.

Man, talking about mistake, iv'e been encountered so many mistakes in crypto, but I think for me, the biggest mistake that iv'e done is being too dump. I think one of the biggest mistake of crypto traders have done is being too dump. Selling a token in an early time with a small amount of price. Then suddenly, after just a few days passing by since you sell all of your token. The price now of that particular is going high to the moon.

The first is that I did not get carried away with cryptocurrency earlier, although I was told about it for a long time and I even took the first steps, but for some reason, I did not understand further. Second, these are mistakes that I made during the first operations on the crypto exchange when I gave in to the opinion of the crowd, took unreasonable decisions.

Mine is buying altcoins at its all time high price  ;D Good thing though that I only spend my extra money or else I'll really feel bitterness because of my failure  ;D I don't regret buying though since my goal is to collect atleast 10 of good altcoins out there.

My biggest mistake is that I didn't started as soon as I've heard about it. I've known bitcoin and how it works for a while but I just started in this forum recently. I should've bought my bitcoin just when its price was under 4000 USD. If I did that then I would have bigger profit right now.

My biggest mistake was not buying into bitcoin/crypto in 2013 when I went down an internet rabbit hole and researched it for the first time.

Second biggest mistake was not buying crypto in January 2017 when i got together a decent amount of money i was willing to lose and invest it, put it in the stock market instead and didn't have much success.

Third biggest mistake was selling all of my ETH at ~250.

@Old me
The classic about loosing a shitload bitcoins when worth notting.

@New me
Selling Bitcoins @ 13000 Euro
Buying back bitcoins @ 10000 Euro
Felling like a KING. Telling my colleagues.
No they ask me all the time when price go down down down and I still have them.

My biggest mistake was december last year, when I sold my most precious altcoin XRB at 2000 sat only, then after a few weeks it pumps up to 50k to 100k sat then 200k sat.. My god, I'm feeling down that day. If only I didn't sold it for low price, maybe I had a 1 bitcoin right now and  money is not a problem for me. I really regret that moment, wish I could turn back the hands of time.

Well, most of the biggest errors with cryptocurrency are not buying them at cheap prices, and tend to ignore them. Then regret the price to the moon sometime later. That's what most people feel, including me.
In addition, I used to run out of capital when trading, then give up, but it's because of his own mistakes that still do not understand the market. Then I am hiatus about a year and re-start when the price goes up drastically.

I read most of the posts in this thread. Most of the people regret not buying bitcoin when it was cheaper. If a similar post is made in forum 5 years later we will see many people regret not buying bitcoin at 2018.
For all those who wish they had bought bitcoin when it was cheaper, now it's a good time to buy bitcoin. Now the price is half of its all time high.

First,  I didnt buy bitcoin. I never bought a bitcoin guys,  ever since.  Second,  I sold my aion token because I thought the price of it is enough but after 2 days the price of it tripled. I was so sad that time because I sold my aion early.  If I just wait for more days maybe i gain more profit.

Mine is not taking part in Eidoo bounty. I thought it is a regular altcoin bounty and eidoo got no potential to grow.  Their project does not seems to be be very convincing to me. so never enrolled myself in it but now i regret.

In the light of today's bloodbath I am temped to say that my biggest crypto mistake has been not to sell everything at ATH, a few weeks ago...

I also buy a verge then i sell it even my capital was lost because i thought that it dump too much so when the verge was high i regret from what i do.  I also use my ethereum to verge then the ethereum was high then the verge was low so i'll buy again to don't have any shit coin that my only thought.

Not having the guts to invest and hold at the early stage ever since I saw cryptocurrencies. I actually tried but at first but instead I played it too safe and decided to learn more before actually making a move which made me lose so much opportunity during those positive spikes in the market that I wasn't able to invest to.

My biggest mistake so far is that i have ignored it for so long. I knew about cryptocurrencies since 2015, but didn't buy any because i was too lazy to get any of my account verified....
And just last month i decided to get my ID verified on every exchange i could find , lol :))))

One of my biggest mistake in Bitcoin is still holding it while the price is high. I am very busy that Time and I can’t tried to access my Bitcoin wallets and accounts because of my studies. As the Bitcoin’s price decreasing, I tried to convert all my Bitcoins into PHP and i know that I’m wrong. I gain profit for only $100 and im not satisfied of it. Because i hold a lot of bitcoin that time.

I am glad that most people got out of that coin. It was a disaster waiting to happen, the coin was pumped way too much.

The biggest mistake that made me so regret was that it was too soon to sell my PRL, but two weeks later it cost to the moon and rose tenfold from the initial price. I made it a lesson to be more patient and hold some coins for investment

Not getting early into the crypto currency world.

Trying to purchase an altcoin post ICO directly from someone from the forum only to be scammed (luckily it was not a large amount and it was a learning experience for someone that was just learning about cryptocurrency).
But more recently I regret not selling BTC when it peaked in late December to re-invest now that it has been dipping.  :-\

My own biggest mistake is not believing my friend two years ago when he was trying to convince me about investing in bitcoin. I have imagined how rich i would have been if i had listened to my friend. Such is life any.

my biggest mistake in cryto is underestimating cryto and not taking advantage of the opportunities presented to me to invest greatly in cryto and even when i invested in cryto i regret selling of my coins cheap just because of impatience

I don't consider this as a mistake, but this is a missed opportunity, but the good thing right now is that cryptocurrency are picking up those who missed the train before so you'd better join the ride now. A common mistake that newbie did is that, they sold at a red market through their emotion, I personally experience this thing but hey, I learned from this and I hope everyone who have a weak emotion will overcome it and be more patient next time.

My biggest mistake was when I was newbie and it was never forgotten when I was banned twice, and it became a very valuable experience for me, to be more careful ..

My biggest mistake was once I bought a bitcoin at a higher price and sold it at a very low price. I had one of the biggest mistakes I did not invest in bitcoin. There was no faith in Bitcoin. Now the popularity of Bitcoin is increasing now. People do not think of alternatives to Bitcoin in the field of investment. At present, Bitcoin showed me the path of light. I am very happy to work in bitcoin.
