Bitcoin Forum

I am in marketing field for a long time but I gave a little attention to BTC. Now I am  studying about bitcoin. What I got is that a concept which rises from ashes to heavens. But the main aspect which make me to think twice before entering the btc is its high volatility and also I fell prey to the negative views. And when I further watched btc then I got amazed that btc is getting more adaptable day by day. Then I suddenly realised that if anybody would have purchased btc in bulk in the start (In pennies)  and let assume he forgets but now he suddenly  acquainted with his btc then OMG he would have "massive money", cannot imagine.
Lol it's just a thinking but the morale is that I have missed the biggest opportunity and I accept that it's a blunder for not participating positively in btc.

It doesn't necessarily mean you're late though. The number of people who've mined/bought BTC when it was worth almost nothing and held up to this day is extremely small. Nobody knew it'd ever reach this price point.

It's almost like 10 years from now we'd have a Bitcoin worth a billion bucks. Before it gets there, almost everyone who's purchased today would have sold at $100k, $1M or $10M. Those who'd still hold either have a shitload of money they don't really need to sell Bitcoin in the future anyway, were lucky enough to forget the password to their wallets for many years and became rich or so.

On the other hand, the opposite could happen. You never know how, all of a sudden, people start not giving a crap about Bitcoin anymore and the markets'd crash like never before.

The main idea is, you have to assume the risks and, if you can do it, then join it. It's a fun ride anyway. :)

That is just it, bitcoin is a deflationary currrency, and I am glad you know that, it is even obvious as to what has happened in the past. In the next decade too, bitcoin would have reached all time high, gradually people are getting to know what bitcoin is, people are buying it, while also people are making use of it for one thing or the other. Some people would have bought bitcoin for only short term period and lose, especially during scalping to day trading, in such time, very possible may lose. Unlike holding, over a long period of time, certainly gain will results.

No, Its not that late for you to seize the golden opportunity here in bitcoin world. I believe that Bitcoin will exceeds above everyone's expectations as time goes on. The great thing is that you are able to participate this time and just do your best to reach your goal whatever it might be. I guess opportunities are just around, and we just need to be very smart and be strong enough to take the risk.

I am sure that this has happen and some people really got lucky with it but there are also some who really lost their early mined Bitcoin or the Bitcoin that they invested in.
For me it is never too late to invest in Bitcoin we should only remember to invest what we could afford to lose so if we wanted to quit it wouldn't really hurt a lot who knows maybe someday what we talked about here would also happen to those who left their BTC on hold because they thought they lost a huge money on it.

It's literally the same with any stock that ended up growing far bigger since their IPOs. Stop beating yourself up because of it. You're only regretting it because it already grew bigger. But what if it ended up dying? There's a reason why "hindsight is 20/20" is a commonly used quote in the investing world.

Well, just like you I've also missed the opportunity to procure Bitcoin when it is worth a penny but I don't we are too late because Bitcoins is continually growing as time goes on. And let's say you manage to buy Bitcoin at its lowest price I don't think you will hold it long enough and wait till it goes beyond $20k then sell, perhaps seeing it on $1k worth would it change your thoughts and sell it. The thing is we don't know that this will become so expensive. If you felt that you missed the opportunity to procure Bitcoin then remember the guy who bought a pizza with his Bitcoin.

Not that Golden opportunity compared when you invest during 1$ each BTC. The current priced is almost 50% to 80% of the possible maximum price in the future. All bullshit prediction that BTC will reach 100k USD and above is delusional.  There still a lot of opportunities on BTC but don't expect much return compared before when the price was below 1000$ mark. The current price range might be the price of BTC for the long time unless Jeff Bezos and other billionaires tank BTC.

There have been people complaining about "missed opportunities" since bitcoin was sub $100.

Take a look at this guy: Did I miss an opportunity? At what point would you say is too high to buy? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170725.0)
Here he is lamenting that he could have bought in when bitcoin was 42 bucks, but now it is over 100 bucks, so what's the point?

What about this post: ever had a huge opportunity stare you in the face (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=213812.0)
This is a particular favorite post of mine. The price of bitcoin when that post was made was $123. The user is complaining he could have bought in 2011 and missed the opportunity which was "staring him in the face". He signs off the post with the following sentence:
Here is he is, posting on a bitcoin forum, with bitcoin at $123, saying he feels he is missing some big opportunity but he can't quite put his finger on it. I wonder what it could be? ::)

Here's another one from a few years later: Regret and depression (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=940275.0)
Bitcoin price at the time: $230. Complaining he didn't have the foresight to get involved in bitcoin early, and could have been a millionaire. If he had invested then instead of complaining, $12,000 would have made him a millionaire at the ATH.

---

In 10 years time, there could very well be people making the exact same statement about you complaining that $13k is too expensive to buy in.

Are the days of truly ludicrous returns in a short period of time over? It'll still be ludicrous compared to everything else, but turning $100 in $100 million was always going to be a one time deal and whoever managed that fully deserves it. I'll bet the number of people who have actually done that could fit on one bus, a small one.

Headline numbers are catchy. They're also extreme outliers. Same goes for all time highs and lows. Everyone laments not selling or not buying at those moments. In reality no more than a handful do it and they have no idea they did time it right until many years later.

The only other thing I'll say is be mindful of going down the shitcoin route expecting to find the 'Bitcoin killer'. There have been thousands of them. Bitcoin has not been killed as far as I can tell. There is of course money to be made there and a whole lot to be lost too.

No, I don't think you are late to participating in bitcoin because you can enter the bitcoin world anytime you want, even if the bitcoin price increases higher.
But if you bought many bitcoin a long time ago when the price is at a very low price, and you forgot that you have bitcoin, now you become a multi-millionaire because if you sell at a price now, you will make a lot of money.
The golden opportunity is when you can buy bitcoin from now on, in any amount.

Many people will think that they will buy bitcoin later when they have big money to invest in bitcoin.
Well, that is not wrong, and that is up to them.
But maybe they will miss the golden opportunity from bitcoin because if they realize that the price can increase so high in the future, they will regret it not to buy bitcoin today.

If you will only look in this market as a Easy money then forget about it,and also please stop looking back when Bitcoin is just starting because
 for sure if happens that you heard about this wayback?for sure you will be one of those who will
 shout about this being scam.

Those early Adopters spend and risk their Money even without a small assurance to gain in the years to come
though they are very lucky because Bitcoin Hit the top in 2017 and those who bought from Penny after 10 years tasted their risk and motivational investing.

So if i were you Let the past gone and start your own future today,Buy bitcoin and Keep the holding like what those you are mentioning did when their time started here.

Now it's time to miss another golden opportunity, what else?

Seriously, even if you had known of bitcoin when its price was low, you wouldn't have bought it. Do you know why? Because its price was not so attractive as today. That is the main problem of all hesitant people: they always wait for a perfect opportunity (https://medium.com/in-bitcoin-we-trust/bitcoin-price-will-always-be-too-expensive-if-you-dont-believe-in-its-revolution-51a2e7e36a8b), spend their time hesitating, and are never ready to take a step towards the unknown. For them, bitcoin is too expensive, always. They envy people who bought or mined bitcoin in the early days. But do you know what the main difference between hesitant people and "early" people is? Unlike you, they believe in bitcoin and understand its importance.

dank305, and what if you were one of the early investors who then lost that same BTC in the biggest hack (Mt.Gox), and who have not yet been compensated (nor will they ever be fully)? So I think you’re just wasting time thinking about it, and no matter the cost, investing is still very logical in the long run if you believe Bitcoin has a bright future. I suggest taking small but safe steps, investing in small amounts on a monthly or weekly basis - or taking advantage of every major dip.

However, I must note that such "missed opportunities" posts usually occur at times when the price of Bitcoin is rising, and although it is never too late to invest, I wonder what people like you did during 2018, or maybe half a year ago when the price of BTC was up to three times lower than it is now? I think we can draw a line here between those we call true believers and those who believe only when moments like the one we have now happened.

You might miss the golden opportunity but the part you get here this time, is one of those indicators that you can still ride the market if you really wanted. Nowadays, it's hard to get to the point that you will earn a massive amount of money from BTC investment. the only chances are in the Altcoins section where you might pick the next top altcoins to invest your money. Know that it is not an easy thing to do cause the rate is below 0.001% to chose the next top Altcoin in the market.

Don't miss it again and again. Experts agree that bitcoin could be traded at a lot more price than it is now. Bitcoin was $6629 on April 12, 2020 while it's 13,400 at the moment. It's more than doubled in six months. That was the recent golden opportunity missed. There are many people who bought bitcoin at hundreds and sold at thousand yet missed out on the run to the price of tens of thousand. So, it all about what part you look at. There would be many more such opportunity but you should believe in bitcoin in order to get advantage of it.

You did miss a golden opportunity. A few years ago someone missed a golden opportunity for not buying bitcoin at $100. On 2025 someone may have lost the golden opportunity of buying bitcoin at $30k. You get my point. If you search this treasure place called bitcointalk, you will see tons of discussions when price was below $100. I remember reading a topic in which a genius said "You shouldn't sold it at $80, this thing is going up like crazy! It will worth thousands of dollars in the future!".

The conclusion is that bitcoin is the best investment for long term.
Couldn't have found a better image:
https://i.imgur.com/Jv7EBXz.jpg

It's funny looking at it.

I also missed, When the price of BTC went up to 11 thousand, I was waiting for it to come down to 10 thousand again. But alas, 10 thousand is no more. In one fell swoop it rose to 12,000.  :-[ Now the price of BTC is near around 14 thousand, I'm still waiting to see a breakout.

This market is managed by professional traders and algorithmic trading!  That is why I am convinced that you are late for super profits! Previously, there was not all that is now...And bitcoins could be easily mined... But to buy a bitcoin to just use it - it's never too late! ;)

Its never been too late but somehow if we do compare to those people who do enter on early days then we can really see out the difference in terms of profits but it isnt still a bad idea
to enter into this market with this time.

You arent the only one having that kind of regrets that we should have entered on the market on earliest as possible and we might have been celebrating now on enjoying our
multi millions of profits but well lets face the reality.

Dont let yourself feel down though yet the most important thing now is to enter the market and do make active trades or even hold, neither way you can possible to make money.

There is a lot of people who set aside the bitcoin because they think that it is just a waste of money and won't be having a good future but bitcoin proves the people that it wasn't. Setting aside bitcoin is also a good thing because if we already make the demand of bitcoin higher for the past 10 years, we will be having a hard time to make the price of bitcoin higher but if we didn't set aside the bitcoin, the mass adoption should have been happening right now.

You can buy Bitcoin still now. It is a wiser decision to buy Bitcoin every day. No matter about price rises or decreases. At this current situation, Bitcoin is increasing rapidly and hopefully it will cross $16k very soon.

It is precise that you can not change the past. You have to accept and live with it. There are many people who get rich thanks to bitcoin. Right now, there are still chances for us to make money with not just bitcoin but also cryptocurrencies. Various of ways can aid you in being successful with crypto investing. Dont worry. You will not miss your change if you willing to learn and accept the fact of this new technologies

Yeah its true that many people have negative thinking about bitcoin and they think bitcoin have no bright future. Even after observing bitcoin rapid growth and worldwide community response some people don't want to make investment. Its nothing new and day by day people's fear about bitcoin and its potentiality will be changed to positivity IMO.

I have seen so many people who were not interested to invest on bitcoin and good news is now among them some are holding good amount of bitcoin and continuing trading professionally. Even some of them are very positive about bitcoin and other established crypto coins & tokens. You may know that in many country buying and selling bitcoin is illegal but people are doing this at their own risk which proved people’s interest on crypto and it will increase dramatically in the upcoming days.

Entire world have seen the power of bitcoin and its community which helped lots of new people to make the investment on crypto currencies. That day isn’t too far when crypto will be a part and parcel of our daily life. Just need more time.

It's not too late you can still ride on Bitcoin it's true that if someone really bought Bitcoins before and forgets it they are now millionaire now.
There's a lot of new opportunities however, you can still invest to some upcoming projects that might be the next Bitcoin
or at least would give you a good profit in the future it's the fact that you should check every project and don't leave anything behind they might be the next top crypto.

when u realize the importance of Bitcoin this is an good time to investment. there are nothing to miss here. many people have become millionaires much later by investing btc, so many such examples i heard. making bulk investment is big risky in the beginning. 

Think about this - every day, each person on Earth misses countless of "golden opportunities". Maybe if you left your home 5 minutes earlier, you would have found the love of your life, or if you bought a lottery ticket at the right time, you would have won a jackpot. And if you knew the perfect trades, you could have become a billionaire by trading on any market with high leverage. Bitcoin in early days is just one out of hundreds of thousands of golden opportunities, there's no reason to be sad about missing it, at this point this is just an unnecessary regret. Focus on the future instead.

And the list of people complaining about missed opportunities will just pile up as this will goes on forever.
I'm not sure If the kind of people who had enough time to complain than to actually put their money in crypto was called investors or just want to find a way to get rich real quick.
IMO, there's no price range that's not expensive for people like this. The kind of mentality like the OP probably has a higher chance of failure because his interest in investing to something was based on enviousness from the successful ones.

 :D :D

It's funny I felt exactly like this when I got to know about bitcoin back in 2016. I felt I had missed out on so much that I could never catch up but then I got involved and the journey's been great.
Believe me you, it's not late to join the train. People have joined and are joining the bitcoin train at every point in time. I'm sure there are people who got involved with bitcoin when it was $5000 and some people joined when it was $20000 back in 2017. The point is you can always join.
It's true those who bought bitcoin when it was almost worthless are millionaires, if not billionaires, now but it's also true that those who buy now would make great amount of money ten years from now. However, it is also possible it goes the other way around. That's just the market

I am into marketing too but it hasn't hindered for me the opportunity to know about bitcoin, opposite, it pushed me to understand more things around it even more. When you are a marketer and into marketing, you have to be very creative and innovative, you have to carefully understand all the trends that are rising and benefit yourself. But nevermind, it's never too late.

Almost everyone missed that opportunity, if you feel unlucky remember that there is a man on this forum who paid 10 000 bitcoin in one pizza, right now - 136 million USD. He could even buy a whole famous pizza company with that money, not only pizza. But fact is fact, that happened and to blame yourself in this case isn't correct. At first, you can't change the past and then - no one in this world knew that that would happened and how you acted was 100% normal and logical, so, no worries. We often miss golden times but it happens like there are best times too.

I think it's better late than never, it is true that people are very lucky to buy Bitcoin when Bitcoin is cheap. They can sell Bitcoin at high prices
and can make a lot of money, but not everyone who buys Bitcoin at a low price makes a lot of money, because I read the story that some of
them forgot their passwords, email and private keys to be able to access their personal wallets. So they lost the Bitcoin they owned.

Because I believe Bitcoin can go up to a price of $ 100,000, so buying Bitcoin now is not too late to be able to get a lot of money from Bitcoin
investment. It depends on how everyone views Bitcoin, if you look at Bitcoin like me, of course you are happy to know Bitcoin today. And will
collect as much Bitcoin as possible. For later sale when Bitcoin reaches $ 100,000.

I believe that as well. Never too late to join this party. It is your strategy how you can earn profits from the market. You can do short-term trading but that is if you already know the crypto market. Even if you discovered crypto early, the situation also might be different, and sold your coins also. Who knows, right? So what we can do, is optimize the situation you are in. Do your own trading, intermittent trading can also give you decent profits just like long term holding.

The people who were into BTC at the beginning then forgot about it for years have often lost their BTC. Wallet deleted or hard drive crashed, password forgotten, etc.

If you had thousands of BTC and realized now you had lost them, how would you feel ?

The best thing to do is to define an investment strategy and stick to it. For example if you're putting aside 200 per month (200 of whatever currency, it's just an example), then you could decide to buy 100 of BTC every month, and continue with 100 of your usual investment. Do that for years and you're likely to be happy about the result.

Forget those experiences and move forward.

There is nothing as late when someone wants to put money on Bitcoin. It's not possible that everyone will know before that Bitcoin will reach its current status since everything is unpredictable.

If you will continue to be regret then you are just increasing the time you waste. Act now or else, you will create a thread again like this in the future.

The possibility of making huge profits if invest in Bitcoin during the early stage of Bitcoin is what every newbie thought but they seized to understand that making a huge profit now is still possible if they can develop their knowledge in crypto and understand how to invest profitable.However, the only thing that will make the missed the golden opportunity is not seizing every opportunity the market posed after they join the crypto investment.

Generally there are huge amounts of lost opportunities.
Most important thing is to have savings so that you can be part of those.. whatever they may be.
So, first save, then allocate.

There's no point in regretting what happened, don't be too dramatically to miss an opportunity by buying Bitcoin at a cheap price.
Since we have to realize that everyone's luck is different, let's pretend our luck hasn't come yet. I am optimistic that Bitcoin will be
very expensive in the next 10 years, I predict there is a possibility that Bitcoin could go up to $ 1 million. So imagine if my prediction
is correct, we are all lucky to be able to buy Bitcoin at its current price. There is a risk of Bitcoin falling in price or even Bitcoin dying
in the future, but successful people must be brave enough to face risks.

so it's not too late. never too late to learn. the important thing is that you understand what your potential is, and use it as best as possible to get a chance to profit from bitcoin or another crypto in general. there are many ways that can be used, depending on your abilities, there are many events that you participate in, such as the one here https://dropsearn.com/. that you can make as capital to start collecting BTC.
see? there are many ways to start investing. make sure you understand the risks and always do your research.

It is never too late to be onboard, you should not be afraid about the volatility, every thing about life is about risk and how you manage them is what is most important. If you are for long as you described, then you are among the earlier adopter even now

Well maybe you got missed on the first flight of bitcoin but then i do believe that its never too late for everyone who have been started in bitcoin. The mere fact that you are newbie of course you need to acquire more knowledge and experience about bitcoin before you can cope up to the market movement. For me there's a lot of things that you may discover along the way but the experience were priceless. From there you can come up which one do you prefer, a long term investment or short term investment.

You should have look at its core fundamentals instead of negative views then you'll realize that Bitcoin will be the next generation for our current financial system, and scarce and secured it is with a decentralize ledger that no one controls. Not even governments, its fine if you've missed the boat because it's projected by Plan B that the price could even skyrocket to Millions.

You are not alone who thinks that way. I myself thought that I missed my chance to buy cheapest btc price when I knee btc earlier. But Ibrealized, I am not yet late. So are you. We are still lucky that we've met such kind of advanced technology like bitcoin and we still havr a great opportunity to invest.

We can actually still do what early bird did before. Just a matter of good investment plan, good management and timing. Many were just new in btc  investment, too. But they are doing good because they handle there portfolio well.

it's never too late to invest. Those who used to buy bitcoin at low prices and hold it was people who believed in what it invested. Many people experience losses when buying bitcoin at a high price and they sell it when the price drops. they finally regretted it when the price went up again. it is because they do not believe what they are investing in. If you trust bitcoin for investing, then start now and believe in what you are investing today.

We're still not too late, there are still so many opportunities that might happen to us, I think there are only a few people who earn so much money when the price of the bitcoin is very low and rose to $10k because no one expects that it would happen, of course, that time when the price of the bitcoin is too low, people think that it would stick to it or they don't know yet the volatility of the bitcoin.

Imagine if you are one of those persons who believe that bitcoin could rise too much compared to the value way back in 2009 and make some investment then I think you are so rich now but I don't think that you will wait for so many years before you sell your bitcoin, well, in fact, you don't have any idea what would happen in the next other days and besides cryptocurrency is not that so familiar that time.

Welcome to the Bitcoiners community. Bitcoin is a good long-term investment as well as risky. You have to be patient to see the gains. If you bought when the price of Bitcoin was low, you are lucky now.
I follow a Bitcoin advocate on Twitter who always makes me gain confidence. I hope you find their tweets interesting too.

Many people think that they are late to buy bitcoin, even they know about bitcoin from a long time ago. They underestimate the presence of bitcoin, and that is why they don't want to buy bitcoin. But after bitcoin prices can soar high, they realize that they are miss to buy bitcoin. They are not late to buy bitcoin because they can buy bitcoin anytime they want without waiting for a low price, but it is better to buy bitcoin when the price reaches a low price.

But what you should know is bitcoin has a risk which can increase so high and low, so you need to have learned about analysis bitcoin to find out the right time to buy bitcoin at a low price. But if you just want to have bitcoin for the investment, you can buy bitcoin at a current price, and you don't need to wait for a low price.

It's never a late time to start, as a matter of fact, you started when you are destined to.  Although, you might have missed a lot as you have said. Why did I say so? If I hadn't started bitcoin the day year and month o started, I wouldn't have attained this rank. Gaining new rank then was easier than now,  I now how long I have been at my present rank. And even with the time I started, I did reluctantly , but today I'm grateful I did.

I think he's not talking about the rank and the forum but the time he spends investing Bitcoin because right now the price really pierce through the $13100 USD and I am guessing it will surely make a progress again up to $13500 is a couple of days, I think day time trading would be great if you would learn the fundamentals I think by trading you will surely catch up a little in getting those juicy Bitcoin.

I don't agree on that you missed the golden opportunity. Because like you said, Bitcoin is volatile. It will be never late to invest in it. You need to be just patient. We are in a bullrun-like period now. I believe that we are getting close to ath.

That is true, even when I was a newbie I had that mindset but as time passes by I knew that I was not left out since Bitcoin is still progressing and I still have the opportunity to learn it along the way. Now, I can earn money from Bitcoin and its a source of an alternate financial income. People should still trust the system that its not near any end since everything is still progressing and further developed.

The history could be repeated , you guys would say the same thing like those guy who regretted selling thousands of bitcoin at 0.30 usd while they actually could sell it at 8 usd.
Sell your bitcoin now and regret later .
Do nothing now while bitcoin cheap at $13k and regret later when you can't afford to buy a single bitcoin that has $100k in price.
The golden opportunity is everyday.

Don't worry because many feels the same, they are always saying how the miss the biggest opportunity of their life whent they didn't trust btc and they didn't
buy it when it's price is still very low. If you believe in bitcoin, you still has the golden opportunity therefore you should start holding bitcoin now before it
will be too late again and you will miss the golden opportunity again.

If there are bitcoin holders that bought bitcoin and were able to forget it then I am sure that he/she is very lucky because his investment is already earning a
very huge amount of profit. I will just hope that he/she still remember their private keys so they can still access and sell their bitcoins.

I think that's the time to sell. Two previous trends (even tho there are not strong) were broken. I think ltc price (https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/LTCUSD/) won't break up again before the NY...

https://www.tradingview.com/x/DHdn3cID/

The fact that you now realized that you need to get in, you don't miss anything mate.

Regret is always are there but considered it as a part of the process. Not just you, but I believed most of us here feel the same way before. Are we going to just think of the past and do nothing while BTC is progressing more?

But while staying positive about bitcoin's future, you should also spend some time learning all the associated risks once you decided to put some of your money on crypto.

Very few people can buy bitcoin from its earliest days and keep it until it reaches the price of $ 20,000, so you should not regret the past. At the present time it is best to look for a way to add bitcoins, so that until bitcoin increases in price we do not have to regret it again.

When you decided up to engage with crypto or into this market then its just normal for you to know the risk involved and all the possibilities that can happen into this market
which would heavily affect your investment.Feeling of regrets is really just normal but there are people who are really that too paranoid when it comes to volatility on where
it do made them too scared on engaging the market and tend to make out some move or actions when the market is already hyping or rising up not on just making out
any steps or considerations when the market is still in read or in accumulation period.This had been a pretty common in most investors.

There are hundreds of opportunities that we're missing every year but we don't know about them so we don't feel bad.

OP thinks what would have happened if he bought BTC because he's now interested in BTC, but he is not interested in, say, stocks. We could say that if you bought Tesla early you could also make a lot of money. This will lead only to a spiral of negativity because there was a boxing match you could put your money on, because you felt like you knew who was going to win and you were right. You could buy that piece of land nearby for cheap and now they found oil there and so on, so forth.

not only you, but me and maybe some other friends in this group lost the golden opportunity to participate in bitcoin.  I came to bitcoin in 2016, when the price of bitcoin was $ 450.  but I followed several bounty projects, and I made a lot of profit.  now the world of bounties is ugly.  and what we can do today is the world of bitcoin and crypto always opens trades all the time.

Exactly. Most people who saved up their bitcoins from day one are the ones that are really late because a lot of them jumped ship years ago when bitcoins won't even buy you a can of beer. You don't have to worry about being late because bitcoin will provide. And with the current publixity bitciin is facing, we can only go upwards from here, meaning there's no way bitcoin will go back from what it was years ago, even if you argue it's high volatility rate.

Unless you're in the last couple of years of your life, it's not yet too late to get into crypto. I myself just became interested in it this year, and I did my research, too. I wish I had done this a long time but I did some really awesome stuff with my life back then so no regrets. Just continue learning and applying what you learn and you'll be fine. 

I have known about bitcoins very early and in the years 2014 - 2015 I earned myself a lot of bitcoins, unfortunately I sold them too early. However the price of bitcoin is quite cheap right now and I have a chance to be able to collect bitcoins one more time.
Now that I have stopped regretting my past, I enter trading, doing bounty hunter work in the hopes of earning bitcoins. Hopefully I won't miss bitcoin again.

Actually, you still have time to join Bitcoin investment, why don't you just learn it now and analyze the potential in Bitcoin profits in the near future? Bitcoin is growing day after day lately, it creates a chance for anyone to gain profits if they know how to invest or trade in it properly. In my opinion, it is not time for you to regret missing the golden opportunities. It is time for you to learn the Bitcoin, try to analyze it, and make a plan to invest or trade in it.

It is better to buy it now instead of regretting again in future when it reach to $20k , $50k or even $100k. you may missed the golden opportunity but that doesn't mean that was the only opportunity. there is still opportunity to get in this train and have at least as much as you can afford.
Buy it now or else you'll be buying at for higher price. don't waste your time regretting for past and missed opportunity. use your brain to make your present and fast better.

Yes, it never too late for anyone to gain the golden opportunity in Bitcoin and genuine altcoins but I dont see the protocol you provided as a way for newbies to make profit through crypto or improve their abilities cause what I saw in the protocol are some kind trading competition which I believe the whales to always manipulated.

If you won't start buying today, you will regret again in the years to come. Bitcoin is risky as it is and that made people think quit about bitcoin investment but if you will start taking it seriously studying its benefits and advantages, you will probably be making fortune for your family's future. There's no room for regrets in bitcoin as it won't help you at all.

You have not missed the opportunity, now Bitcoin is taking a lot of strength, what you should do is try to buy everything you can because in about 9 or 10 years it may be around $ 100k and you did not take advantage of $ 10k- $ 12k, this market It is like this, volatility is unique, but if you decide now to choose Bitcoin it will be the best investment of your life, here in this market the opportunities will never be late.

You're not the only person, lots of people missed that opportunity, and i also nearly missed it. But, that doesn't mean you should feel discouraged. I discuss about Bitcoin with people and when they study about it and see that the price has increased so far more than what it was at first, they start losing interest because they feel they are not going to achieve anything with it again, they feel it's too late to join, but that's wrong.

Well, if you can't invest now and hold for the next ten years, what makes you think you can invest back then and hold it till now? So it's best to accept things just as they , invest and embrace the technology and use it for how good it is. If you're lucky, in future there might be another opportunity for you to gain more from it.

It's never a late an ideal opportunity to begin, in actuality, you began when you are bound to. Despite the fact that, you may have missed a ton as you have said. For what reason did I say as much? On the off chance that I hadn't began bitcoin the day year and month o began, I wouldn't have accomplished this position. Increasing another position at that point was simpler than now, I realize how long I have been at my current position. What's more, even with the time I began, I did hesitantly, yet today I'm appreciative I did.

Same here OP I can consider that somehow we are late because I have just started recently as well but like what the elderly said it is better to be late than never. We have missed the chance of getting into bitcoin in the early years but come to think of it those people who have started investing bitcoins in the early years we couldn't guarantee if they have succeeded in maintaining their bitcoins up to this year and if they do I salute to them.

Though we might be late I know there are a lot of ways for us to enrich what we have now and in this current situation. Good thing I can still say that we are still far from being too late from being absent because we are already here before the global adaption of bitcoin. Cheers to the latecomers out there. :D

There is a big problem when it comes to our mindset, many people thinks that they already missed the opportunity to ride the momentum of the bitcoin; they keep focusing on what happened to the past and not in the present. We should change our mindset and develop it to a mindset for a successful investor and trader. There are still opportunity out there and we can see it and grab it we are now fully prepared. I will ask your knowledge is now enough to participate in this current bull run? If not then continue to keep studying but if yes then this time is the best time to grab the opportunity. There will still a lot of golden opportunities that we may encounter, we should anticipate it but be sure that we are already have plan to grab and achieve it.

The demand on bitcoin is continuing to increase in these past days and it is the reason why the volume is keep rising, for me it is good as long as the volume average will hold and for me the price needs to consolidate. If you do not know how to entry in best way then study more and I think you can grab the opportunity that you are currently seeking.

The trader never missed this opportunity. If you want to get profit from bitcoin need to make a target sell rate and target profit otherwise you lost or missed any opportunity. Many people do not control emotion or never target sell rate or profit and they confused when price pumps or panic when price dump and negative feedback from others.

You would still make your own big success story if you don't give up just like the early miners that are still holding unto bitcoin. There are still some milestones which BTC is yet to cross and that could make you success story come true if you are positive.

You don't need to seize the whole "gold mine" to become rich. There are nuggets spread in the river as well. Just do your dilligence thoroughly and have a strategy for investing/trading, whatever you want to do in the Bitcoin market. If you ask me we could still jump 100x from the actual price point. It is just a matter of how you look at the market. Is $15000 expensive compared to a few cents - definitely, but is $15,000 dirt cheap compared to $1,000,000? - Hell yeah, all day long. ;)

BTC has given several chances to everyone but unfortunately we are unlucky, see even in March BTC price was 5k and now it's upto 13k. Just time matter's You can't wonder how things will change in crypto, well that's the beauty of it.

Many say the massive pump which happened in 2017 was just a luck, then how about the above which gives us profit of 8k in just 7 months? We can't change the mind of negative people's. Research, invest, and wait patiently I am sure you will be rewarded.

I also knew someone, a friend, that has the same situation just like you. He also regretted engaging in cryptocurrency before and now he's doing fine and working so hard with his bitcoin investment. When you missed an opportunity, just make sure that you will do your best to do it in a different way. If there's a will, there's a way they said, so always don't waste the opportunity if you think that it is worthy to spend your time with. In order for you to avoid regrets, seize the moment, and take the risks because you will never learn if you will priority your fear above else.

most of us here give a tiny importance to btc at the start and most are now regretting but look around you , we are still here and we already reached some milestones by staying because we hoped that we can still make it and get some piece of this cake and it did . dont loose hope because like us you can do that too .

 btc is high volatile thats a fact but believing on negative views and reviews of others is not a good manners to inherit   .

 you said your studying btc now ? you should have known the real truth about it  .

It's never too late for you if you think you're now ready and you have researched about bitcoin, then go for it grab the opportunity it's still waiting for the people who wants to adopt it and for those who want to trade and invest. Do not regret for those times that you missed to enter in crypto space because that time you may not ready then and your attention was focused on your job. Now that you have realized the fact about bitcoin I think this is your best time to decide to enter here and start to plan for your own strategy on how to invest and succeed.

Holders mostly have side income, so they can hold onto Bitcoin and their assets. But if they don't have side income, surely they will sell their assets slowly to cover their daily expenses.

Bitcoin will indeed continue to rise and create surprises until next year. keep looking for solutions and loopholes to increase Bitcoin and your income. you will be successful

it is not too late for bitcoin. in 5-10 years you will look back and post same regret storries like you do regreting not bought 10 years ago :)
remember in early years it was not easy to store and exchange, many BTC's were lost or sold or given for pennies etc. for me it is investment that is onece in a lifetime (more than that once in a centuries time) so hold and cashout your jackpot in some years..by the way you may even not be necessatry to exchange for cash because it is likely to be mass adopted in 5-10 years and spend it buying really expensive things ahead in the future.

It's natural reaction for people who doesn't have any knowledge on where to earn since provably they are been hype to hold without knowing the risk they face and when they see a dump for sure they rush to sell to cut their losses.

But to be successful we really need a deeper knowledge about Bitcoin since if we go on it without proper researching about possible scenarios that might possibly we face then for sure we cannot do any counter actions once there are sudden changes that will happen in single minute in the market.

 ;D

^ I agree that you missed those time where bitcoins are still abundant and can be avail at a lower price, imagining if you arrived or started on an earlier year and able to keep it up to date then you too could have a "massive money" as well and we are on the same page LOL. But I am an optimistic individual and I don't take it bad weather I am late or not I know for sure that along the way I can still enrich what I have started now and gained what I have missed for years that I am not yet in this bitcoin world. In fact, tradings could be the best way for me and if not, still we can do some exchanges like selling products or rendering services and get paid by bitcoins, in that case, we can still earn and enrich our btc in our own simple ways.

I missed too much opportunity already I didn't invest when the price was so cheap back in 2015 and I also didn't invest when the price crash down in 2018-2019.
Most of us are the same like me who are scared to invest back then because of the fear that it would continue to crash down but it bounce back so maybe next time that I would see a big crash I would buy some and hold it.

You have not missed any Golden Opportunity here since you can still buy Bitcoin at a price thats lower then its all time high- around 20,000.

I think we all believe that the price will rally back to 20,000 and then some so still perfect chance to get in to a good investment opportunity.

If you are to wait to buy Bitcoin once it has passed 20,000 then you can ask yourself if you missed the Opportunity.

Looks like a flat to me?
But it's descending if the ltc price (https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/LTCUSD/) brakes below where to aim the short?

We are not late on doing Bitcoin because we can still earn a lot but missing the golden age of Bitcoin is a big disappointment especially for those who already know Bitcoin but set it aside. I already knew Bitcoin past few years ago but I managed to set it aside because I think that it is just a waste of money but it proves me wrong so I quickly invested in it but it got a bad result because I still have no knowledge about it then someone reintroduce me the Bitcoin and he managed to teach me some basic things and now I am a successful Bitcoin trader.

Don't look at the short term price improvement, look for the long term, bitcoin is bullish already now and IMO it's not right to ride on it now if you want some better price, wait until the price dump and then start accumulating.

Thing is, bitcoin could go $20,000 anytime soon but it's also possible to dump at $10,000, but that is just a short term action as some experts even believe that bitcoin will hit $100,000. Just keep believing and accumulating at the right timing, your future is quite good here as the adoption is already increasing.

This is an apt example. Some people will always moan about missed chances to buy Bitcoin as cheaply as possible.

---

Perhaps if you bought BTC coins for $1, you would sell them for $1000 and gain a huge profit measured in fiat money. Therefore, you need to strongly control yourself so as not to cash out too early by reading fake FUD news.

Now what? Buy bitcoins at current prices and do HODL. I think in the future we will see the most interesting things like the SEC approved ETF.

By the way, I would remove the word "golden" from the title of this topic because gold is not in great demand now.

Good for you that you didn't stop after missing the opportunities and lose also your money, with this kind of attitude you'll be able to
manage to catch up and now enjoy your participation.

As long as you are open and you are willing to learn opportunities are always there  to everyone, just let yourself learn more deeper
and never to stop enhancing your knowledge, there's always a good wave to catch up from this market.

The future of bitcoin is much better and the demand for bitcoin is increasing as time goes on it's a good idea that you know how to use bitcoin but you still have time to invest in bitcoin there is nothing to miss the golden opportunity there is a possibility of further price increase in the future. Negative thoughts bring our minds down a lot you have to work with faith if you have to wait a long time for investment you will get more profit than you imagined if the price goes up.

Such opportunities are ubiquitous, even now. Bitcoin is a decentralized coin, look for decentralized coins which are undervalued or tokens with utility and buy now. They will also gain traction in the near future.

But of course, this is the truth. If anyone, including Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, knew Bitcoin would get this far ten years ago they would've bought themselves shitload of it; even if it meant borrowing from the bank to do that or selling off their shares in juicy companies.

Exactly! Just like those who bought it ten years ago at less than $1 but sold off before it got $100. The same scenario will repeat itself soon.

Sorry, I don't see this ever happening. I thought it would in 2018 but now we have passed that era of uncertainty. Bitcoin isn't a bubble anymore. It's the bedrock of the crypto industry and the blockchain tech. It ain't going anywhere.

Many people periodically reflect on this lost opportunity to buy bitcoin when it was priced at a few dollars.  Now one can only dream up about this.  These times will never return.  Nobody even could have imagined ten years ago that such events would happen and the cryptocurrency would rise so much and get stronger.  Yes, a time machine would be useful here.

This is because they were also having 2nd thoughts after hearing more news about BTC scam. Every negative news that comes out about BTC somehow reached into the mainstream media without even explaining that it's not BTC that is a scam but a company operating with BTC.

Now the majority of people learned that BTC can be very resilient in times of economic crash but buying BTC right now is just too much of a price for someone who just earns less than $20k a year.

You haven't really missed the opportunity. Just because it rose from 8 cents to and ATH of about 20k doesn't mean the train's goina stop here. To me, I see bitcoin reaching $100k (while others even say higher than that).

Many cryptocurrency enthusiasts didn't like that BTC has high volatility, but that is actually the key for us not to think that we missed the golden opportunity. By the way, IMO, what you are preferring for the golden opportunity are the days when Bitcoin is priced below 3k USD. We might never reach back to that low again but with the volatility of Bitcoin, we are still able to enter the market by buying the short dips. If we can execute every trade perfectly by buying low and selling higher, we can still celebrate as if we've got the golden opportunity. This just means that we are never too late in Bitcoin. Bitcoin will stay forever as long as there are demands for it. In fact, we should not just value bitcoin by its dollar and fiat conversion, we should value Bitcoin as it is, through using it to trade freely for goods and services.

This is never ending story , more people will come in the future and saying like "i wish i could buy bitcoin while the price at 15000 us dollar" said people who looking at the chart with bitcoin price at 100000 us dollar.
You should always think now or never especially in the bullish market like nowdays.
Go ahead buy in every single opportunity you had , dont wait as waiting will cost you a regret like what this never ending stories do. This is the bitcoin way.

There will never be late in engaging in crypto because this filed is continuously growing year after year so why bother to look for the past when you can at least join and invest today?
never look back mate instead view what will happen for the future and it will starts today if you are willing to invest and risk to profit.
because if you will not risk then you have no rights to make money as that is how the market goes.
I have invested in crypto few years ago and now I can see some good things as my asset are growing each year.

Those people who are afraid are the traders or investors who do not have enough experience in the market where they do not have confidence to buy when the emotion of the market is fear where the selling pressure it high. Yes it is risky but that risk can be lessen if we have a lot of concepts, ideas or data that can backup the strategy that we will use. Waiting for the pullback is normal and for me buying at the support levels where the demand are so high can be a good strategy especially if we didn't bought bitcoin when its price is still cheap. For those who are still afraid, make sure that you should do some backtesting and some research in order to add conviction where it can boost your self confidence in order to able to execute the trade.

Missing the opportunity happens with everyone, with cryptocurrency the scenario is different. Once the opportunity is missed we need to wait for a much longer time period. When the market experience a dump, people fear of the market gonna fall even lower. This is why people always term missed the golden opportunity.

No one can actually predict the future, else I believe everyone who must have heard about Bitcoin years back would have gotten more of it, also it shows that an innovation with great potentials only needs time to grow, because the concept behind it will continue making that Innovation to be valuable; this is just the case of Bitcoin. Also, you are not actually late, I remembered many people doubted Bitcoin, called it names but today the attention it is getting is massive, even those that doubted it are getting involved, it shows that, those people still believed there is an opportunity for them and that they are not late. So pick up yourself and start getting involved with Bitcoin gradually, at the long run it will worth it and you will be glad you took the step.

You can not even imagine how many people bought BTC at the very beginning and really forgot about this fact and one day they became millionaires. And how many people lost their keys or gadgets and were too upset when saw the BTC's price after some time. Of course it is really lost opportunities and you should not regret, it will not help you to earn something 🙂😉 just nowadays make conclusions and make steps towards new chances.

I second your opinion. Just go for it so you don't have any regrets afterwards. Invest whatever you can, don't do stupid decisions like investing funds which are important to you and your family. Basically invest whatever you can lose and hope for the best. Doesn't matter if you win or lose, in the end you'll have experience and that's what counts!

Its true that bitcoin has come so far and even if you had bitcoin when the price was low at the begining of bitcoin there is no guaranty that you will hold btc until the price go that up but still the bitcoin price is so volatile and we ve seen that even when the price was at 18k bitcoin managed to go down to 5 or 6k so you still have a chance to get lot of profit you just need to be patient.

I would not buy on pump, especially if there are thoughts that I was late... If it is possible to wait for a while, it is better not to rush with investments! I am sure that the opportunity to buy bitcoin will still exist! But, as we have already said here - when there is such an opportunity, people do not use it, thinking that they will see bitcoin even cheaper! ;)

It is instructive to read old threads on the Bitcointalk forum.

2011. Old stories.  

People were happy to sell 10,000 BTC at a profit... Many were convinced that the price of bitcoin could not rise above $ 10...  

In 2014, many bitcoin holders lost all of their coins as a result of the collapse of the Mt.Gox crypto exchange...

Many people have mined Bitcoin.  Who managed to keep their coins?  People threw old computers in a landfill.  Tens of thousands of bitcoins were stored on the hard drives of these computers.  These coins are gone...  

It's never too late to invest in bitcoin.  You can do it now.

You Only missed one part but the whole is still here,and if you wanna find it out then Better Buy it now or be sorry again next time.

this is the problem for all those claiming that they like to invest in crypto but keeping asking question than buying all the way.
and when the train runs without them ?then keep on blaming the market for not waiting them.

A friend of mine just got into the crypto-world when the market got bullish and wasn't afraid about his entry becasue i told him the market is very much still new to investors. We all know that we are early adopters in the industry and when this is done in proper way the opportunity still make it self available for us(investors). Golden opportunity is everywhere, they made themselves avail for those with bold minds and not those with fear. Those who enter the market now still have to wait for their profits, not late mate, get inside the deal.

Its quite normal to have doubt in everything. In my experience, I already know bitcoin I think 2 or 3 years (if im not mistaken) after it was launched but I didnt give much attention about it. I thought its another usual thing online that will pass by. However its not the case for this one because it boom years after I ignored it. Though I have this regret of ignoring btc at a time its a good timing to accumulate, it didnt stop me to engage myself because I believe its never too late.

Thus dont think about its late already, just timing when to buy and enjoy the moment as a holder or a trader.

You are not alone, those who never bought btc but mined it also came into trouble when they realized that btc is worth something but they threw their hard disk or usb drives or wherever they kept their btc, into dustbins. Now they are trying to search for it and not able to get it. Sometimes, even if you have a piece of coal and you think it is not worth anything to you at that time, if you throw it outside and it gets into the hands of another person after a few years and he breaks the coal and a diamond comes out, it is his destiny and not yours.

Bitcoin investing for those who are aware that the price is volatile yet still considers having crypto as an investment as the more the adoption it gets, the benefit will be for them. Apparently many lose hope once they entry at low and experience some downs. Only those who are really risk takers will gain a lot from bitcoin, it will be better if they start earlier to experience these thrilling ride to more profit in the future.

Who said you missed it? I do believe that we still stand a chance to board this train. Bitcoin actually has a long where to go when it comes to it's worth. You missed the golden opportunity? Now it's a silver opportunity and you surely don't want to miss it.

Wait for another golden opportunity and miss it again  :) .
Most of us really missed the golden opportunity before the rise of crypto back in 2017 but we don't have a reason to miss out the opportunity that has been given to us when it crash down on $3-4K per BTC.
Most of us didn't miss it we just chose to ignore it because of the fear that it would continue to fall down.

It's never too late to enter, god only knows how much potential BTC still holds. Weight in all the risks and don't dive in recklessly, accumulate your Bitcoin and don't rush. To me it's a waiting game, I'm not the brightest tool in the shed in terms of trading, so I just sit and hodl, steadily buying small amounts on dips

yeah, I always think that there is really no perfect time for trading maybe we can play this scenario, this volatility we can make an arbitraging or scalping and everything that we want to. there's an endless way to do it, and don't think about missing the gold opportunity it only make us think that it is FOMO which is not.

I have the same point of view here. In crypto, there is no missed opportunity as there is no right or wrong time to enter. The door is always open for everyone and it is up to you how you will strategize your moves here to gain knowledge and eventually gain profits. Even if you just learn btc today, you can still gain profits via different routes, either holding or intermittent trading. What I mean here with intermittent is, you will practice the simple rule of trading, buy low, sell high. So if you will do this many times over, you can already gain profits, which can be comparable to someone who holds btc for long period of time. But of course, you can do that strategy once you know the ins and outs of crypto trading.
