That was very bad time for me, when i sold out my Bitcoin. When bitcoin price was 9k+ usd, then i sold out my all Holding Satoshi for my personal problem. But now current price of per Bitcoin is 41k+ usd.     

If you had a personal problem, then withdrawing was probably justified. If it gave you financial relief when you really needed it, then you made a good choice. You shouldn't let how this played out to change the way you think in the future. If you need the financial aid, that Bitcoin would give if you withdrew it then you should.

Investment isn't about being able to predict everything, and profit the most. Its about, remaining stable, and not going into debt just in case it plays out how you envision it. Of course, the above statement isn't completely true, when investing you're doing it for the sole purpose of profiting as much as possible, but try not to get hung up on things if things didn't go your way. Trust me, I've made investments, cashed them in, and then days, weeks, years later its double that amount. That's just the life of a investor.

Only invest what you can afford at the time, and if you need to take it out then you should, and although its hard sometimes to accept seeing where Bitcoin has reached, or any other investment for that matter. You can't tell you future, and there's no way of knowing it. To be honest, you might have not profited as much as you wanted too, but it sounds like you made the correct decision in withdrawing to help with your personal circumstances, that's the mature thing to do.

You will not be the only person in that situation, last year was the worst year financially for everyone and some were forced to sell their coins to sustain the bills once your salary is delayed. I did not expect the price to rally to $40k in a short period of time but it is what it is with the bitcoin market as you cannot always understand the logic behind these huge rallies  :D.

There is nothing much to be disappointed, the market has a cycle and you will get an opportunity to invest again.

You did what you felt was the right thing to do at the time. Who knows what might have hapened if you didn't sold your BTC? Money is important, but what is money if we can't fully enjoy it with a good health? Just be happy that you were able to invest in BTC long enough to be able to help your personal problem.

Who knows what would had happen if you hadn't invested in BTC thus not being able to sell it for your personal problem? The future is bright and the same guy who saw the opportunity / invested in BTC is still you, so I'm sure you'll do the right thing from here onwards ;)

Well bro, you are not the only one here. Even me, I sold my bitcoin during the pandemic and I also lend a bitcoin here to sustain my monthly allowance and to have food on my table. At least that you have satisfied by your bitcoin holding and help during the time when you were needed the most. We never know when bitcoin goes up or even down, you can still invest if you want and hold them for a long period of time, if you will not gain profit by this year, perhaps it could be next year or in the following year will come or much better after another 10 years that I have doubt it will be doubled the price of what we are now.

It is meant to be sold and to be bought and when you have done that and that was important then don't be sorry. I'd rather take care of myself than regret selling those at that price, no one knows we could be in this level right now. Well, it's regrettable in an instance but somehow have you gone through on that personal problem? If yes, then it was the most important and by the way it's not yet too late to hop in we are barely starting a who knows you can still make 3x even by this price.

Do not worry, if you sold your bitcoin. You did it because you had no other choice. If you want to invest again, don't think it is too late. Of course you will not have the same advantages as before because its price is progressively increasing.

But if you think that bitcoin would reach 40K, 50K, 60K ... 100K an investment now would be worth it. Market behavior is unpredictable, we have to be brave to take risks and not endanger our assets.
Good luck!

You just said it, you sell your bitcoin because of your personal problem.

Nothing wrong with that and even you sold it not because of your personal problem, then it's also fine as long as you enjoyed your money or used it on important matters.

The majority I think did the same. Regret is normal but what matters is, you able to take care of your problem in reality.

It's not late though to still invest, although the price is really that expensive for us average joe's. But if you think or invest on it for long term, then I guess it's going to be worth.

No need to regret, we put our money into bitcoin to save and get profits. I'll probably do the same if I'm in your shoes, so you don't have to go back and regret your decision is reasonable. And for sure you are not the only one who have sold it early, but the thing is that it's not over for us.

I think many people are experiencing things like you’ve experienced now, selling bitcoin for $40k. It’s even far from the current price,
as you’ve been selling bitcoin at $9k. It’s too far away, for that you feel very frustrated at the moment. Because yeah  I think,  if you
want to buyback bitcoin, to wait for the price of the dip at $9k, it is very unlikely soon. And I’m also not sure if bitcoin will come back
low prices to $9k.

You sold your bitcoin for personal reasons. Depending on what that problem actually is, think about it— You might've been in a far worse situation right now if you didn't sell your bitcoin for well needed cash. (unless of course, your "personal problem" is something trivial)

Have to agree about this one to a certain degree, the withdrawal of bitcoin could have been avoided by putting an emergency fund, I am not talking about making a big one, just a trickle from your income is enough to gradually save for something unexpected, that was the most given advice that I have learned from other people, have a safety net that could help you in emergency cases like these one. Selling your satoshi is regrettable but you do not have to wallow about it, we never expected this prices and at that time the urgency is stronger so there is no one to blame.

That's very right. That's why even if I sold my btc before, I am not regretting as I sold it at that time because I needed the money. So if the OP sold his because of his personal needs, then I guess, there's nothing to regret. Just consider the situation that you will be in if you haven't done that before. This is how I think about the situation, if you will regret for the times you sold your satoshis, what will be your situation right now? Just move forward and don't regret the past.

You aren't the only one who are experiencing what you are feeling right now. One thing more is that you sold your Bitcoins because of a personal problem. Come to think of it. What will happen if you just hold your Bitcoins and didn't focused on your problem.

For sure there are some investors there who sold their holdings at much higher price than where you sold it but still feeling regret because they didn't know that Bitcoin will move like this. Nobody expected this move I think. This move is a combination of the institutions buying Bitcoin and the hype that is being done by those huge media channels.

The only thing that you can do right now is to just wait for a correction and buy again. I know what you are feeling right now but just move on and wait for a time to re-enter to the market.

Don't regret if it was to solve the personal problem

At least, you can buy back bitcoin again when the price is down, so you will have a chance to sell it again when the price is up. I think many people already get the same experience as you, including me because I already sell some bitcoin at that price, but I still hold the other bitcoin for the next highest price. You can buy bitcoin at any price, and if you can hold it for a long time, you will be able to make a profit in the future. I think you do not have to regret that because I am sure that you will still have more chances to have bitcoin.

What was the reason for your withdrawal when it was $9k? It is disappointing to see the rise after we've sold. But if you have the best reason for selling by that time and you truly need it, don't have to feel bad for that sale. You have used it very well and you have solved that problem by selling at that time. Honestly, you'll see too many people that have sold earlier but why you haven't thought of remaining even 10%-20% of your total holds?

Having no other options, you had to sell it. So there is nothing to regret about it. It is not like you sold it because you feared that the price is going to crash. Looking at the price and feeling contrite about it won't get you anywhere. If you can afford to invest now and plan to hold long term, then start all over again. It is never too late.
Once again, if you can't afford (don't have enough savings or liquid money), then don't invest! Or else you will be facing the same problem all over again.

I don't think you should be bittered by it, at least it wasn't stolen or hacked, but rather you used it to solve personal problems which is better than borrowing or taking loan, so just see it as one of those things in life which you have no power or control in; I also believe you are not the only one that did such, a lot of people at one stage or the other have done it as well. Furthermore, instead of being bitter or regret over it, pick yourself up and start again, although you might not be able to buy a huge amount at once, but you can buy as small as possible or as your capacity reaches. Regrading the market, there will be a price correction for Bitcoin, although no one knows when but that would be the perfect time to buy to the best of your capacity.

Is there something we can do ? you have sold all your satoshi because you have Personal problem and do you think if you had Hold your Bitcoin that time Was that problem be solved ?
In life we had to decide because of the circumstances and not because that's what we wanna do.
You're just looking because of the High value of BTC but with your previous action your problem is being answered that time.
Market is always here and will give you chance to make another choice , why just Need Bitcoin when you can invest in other altcoins ?
Think of the benefits in each action we do and not of Bitterness.

You should not feel bad or anything. Such is the nature of things you know. You need to withdraw during a certain point of time then you need to convert your satoshi into cash then that is what it is. No one knows the future so there is nothing for you to fret about. You will only feel negative feelings because you now know that bitcoin has a very high price now and you were not able to convert your satoshis now? No need to feel bad ok.

There is really nothing to fix this. Nobody really thought that this will happen so fast since 2018. I really think that all we have to do really is simply buy and keep and sell some if needed. And that is the thing that is important - if needed. If there is really no other way for you to get funds for anything you plan for, then use the crypto as a last ditch option. If you are still able to make it work and get money through other means then so use them and do not touch the bitcoins or satoshis you have.

It does feel bad. but it's normal. everyone wants to HODL their bitcoin and hope to get more and more profit in future. but then something happen in our personal life and we will left with no other choice but to sell our hard earned bitcoins for the market price to solve our problems.
it happened to me a lot.
one thing is good in that is Bitcoin is here to support us whenever there is nothing else for us. bitcoin is like our final support card when all other options and sources are gone.

You’re absolutely correct. It is good news that i solved my problem for Bitcoin.  I think that was the right time to spend my money.

We work daily on online, and it’s main aim is Money making. And we know that money is most Important part of our Life, we can't do anything without Money. Money is Solution for our Problem, So we work every day, I sold out my Holding btc and i think that was my correct time for Spend my bitcoin.   

Bitcoin is also here to be spent. Would have it been better if you had kept your BTC at that time you spent them to solve your personal problem?

I think you have lost your asset which is now worth .I also did a mistake .I had some btc but i sold it very low price when it was too low in price .I even see many ups and down on the market even we get btc on very low price ion 3000$ on the recent past .I think we made huge amount loss as we didn't buy a few .He who invested their capital into btc they have already been rich .I think its is very risky to enter now at the market because the price is going to the up and over .I still want to buy few btc if a get the price on low ever but i will not get such a chance ever .

almost 70% of everyone is sad because they have sold their bitcoin for under $ 20,000, whereas bitcoin is now much more than that. I wonder if any of us feel that other than us anyone has never owned bitcoin at all. they are very constrained when faced with a situation where prices continue to rise.
take it easy, if in the end we will find bitcoin prices going down. this is already a break point for bitcoin. although it is uncertain when. believe that we will get bitcoin back.

Nobody really asked the exact price you bought Bitcoin before selling it at $9k, could remember when the price hit $3k during the pandemic crash, did you purchased it at that time? If that's true, then you should be thankful and happy for selling it at $9k, what's really important and necessary here is the profit trailed. There's nothing to regret on selling with gain, trust me, it's all about the gain and most importantly your personal needs.
What if you lost it through gambling or some other means as this case here.
You should be thankful mate.

how much btc and satoshi you have before you sold them out ? its okay to sold out your btc if let say you enter before btc touches 9k and the sold out is more worth it because your gonna be using the funds for your problems .
what price did you sell your satoshi ? satoshi is lower than btc and not worth it to sell on lower price but for this price 40k selling satoshi could provide you extra fund that can help you in your personal problem .
i feel sorry for you bro but your not alone to this selling problems

You don't regret what you sold, in my honest opinion you can regret if you where scammed of the Bitcoin -your called it satoshi- or you don't have your private keys to your wallet, but in your instance none of this happened to you just that you sold, with that even if you held and sold at 40 and some day Bitcoin reaches 100k you may still regret it, no regret to what you sold.

If you had no other alternatives then you should not blame yourself. Just think of bitcoin as money which have to be spent not as a financial investment.
What if you sold at 41k and the next day the price jumps to 100k? Would you still feel the same?
I sold at a lower price (~3k), if this makes you feel better  :)

I think what you experience almost all Bitcoin holders experience it too. So there's no need to be sad, we all just learn from the mistakes we have
made by rushing to sell our Bitcoin. From now on, just collect Bitcoin every month from the salary we get, and HODL for the next 5 years. I believe
Bitcoin will become much more expensive than its current price. I think it's useless to regret something, without trying to fix it. Don't because Bitcoin
has now risen above $ 40,000 we are lazy to invest, we just wait for Bitcoin correction to the price of $ 30,000 after that we can start buying Bitcoin
again.

I think it doesn't matter if at that time you sold your bitcoins for your own needs, especially for very important ones, so you don't have to regret it.

I can imagine how you feel right now.   ;)

If you already sold out your bitcoin I think it's time for you to move in because you will feel only emotional if you are always thinking that the decision that you made of selling bitcoin at lower price. Sometimes if we made decision we really needed to stick on that and what ever happens we do not regret about it because it was your decision. Don't worry there is a lot of people who sold out the coin earlier and they do lower the price that you sell your bitcoin. Also it have opportunity to get profit shorterm is fit for us now buy bitcoin and hold it for few hours or days and sell it to make some profit.

He still has much time to earn more bitcoin, so he does not have to worry or regret if he sold bitcoin too early. Besides that, bitcoin is not yet reached the new ATH, and the price will rise more than now. I am sure he can have many bitcoins than before, especially if he can have much income source that will give him the opportunity to make more bitcoin.

Everyone needs money at some point and if you needed to cash out at that moment, this is none of your fault. You can call it your fate.
However there are people who sell bitcoin thinking it will go to zero. Then there are other people who sell at 20K or 30K thinking this is the top. I feel sorry for those people as they do not have the proper vision.

You can check my previous posts. For a brief amount of time in 2014-15, I was unemployed. In order to cover my expenses, I had to sell a majority of my coins. Most of the coins I sold at very low rates, such as $200 or $250 per coin. At least compared to that, your potential losses look minuscule. Take my advice. There is no point in regretting about what you had done in the past. You need to move on.

no need to regret that what you did at that time was more important than you when it came to holding your bitcoins. everyone has a problem sometimes you have to make a priority scale, if at that time you don't sell, can you solve your problem.?
sustenance will certainly have time again, try to be able to return to catch up if there is still time if you intend to, because the price will continue to increase.

You really miss the hype of the bitcoin price and what is worst, you miss your chance to generate a good amount of profit. This is the best lesson that we should only invest our extra money so we can hold it until we like because if we will invest the money that we will be needing in the time of emergency then a regret will only to happen the same to what happen to yours.

But you should not regret it that bad as you were able to use the money for your emergency problem but next time, it will be better if you will only invest a money that is extra or your savings and you will set aside a money that you can use if in case an emergency will occur.
