Bitcoin Forum

Slightly tells me that I know bitcoin from this forum around June 2017,
But I haven't kept up with the crypto world for a long time due to my busy business and boredom with the price of BTC in 2019.
So I almost forgot all my assets until there was one. the thing I think is my stupidity, I omitted my Trezor which still contained around 9 ETH at the time I bought ETH around $ 700 in mid 2018, and ETH keeps dropping so I ignore it.
Long story short I want to start from scratch I want to ask the seniors who are here.
I want to start trading again. Could you please give me some advice so that I don't go through things like a few years ago.

If you bought the 9 ETH at $700 you already made a profit you can sell it right now and get a $30k profit.
Or do you plan to play your holdings on trading?

You can trade but the only effective way to make a profit right now in trading is making short trading.

But since you don't have enough knowledge on trading I suggest you follow this channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrXjzUN6EtlyhaaAerbPfkQ

But his trezor is no longer there, he cannot sell his Ethereum now or in the future as long as the missing trezor has not been found.


You've done well before, it's just that this time don't ever throw away your wallet again.
You may think your assets are destroyed and you don't care about it anymore so you forget about it, but don't let you throw away the Trezor you have so that the same mistakes don't happen again.

If it still has the recovery seed backup, he can recover it to his new Trezor but if he doesn't have it anymore then it's totally gone.

The 9 ETH is really a huge amount at the current price and I hope that he still has the recovery seed that's the only way to recover his old Trezor wallet.

As stated by Bitmaxz you could try to recover your wallet by the recovery seed or passphrase that you wrote down when you set it up,
But it seems that you don't care about it right now and wanted to start from the scratch as you've stated,
So my advice would be don't fall for the hype and value everything that you have you never know how much profit they could give you in the future.

P.S I really like the title and it is true it is never too late to start so for those who are thinking that they missed the chance to start their crypto journey because it is too expensive now,
They might want to rethink it and know that they could start whenever they want and they doesn't need to own a whole Bitcoin because they could invest in small amount called Sats.

I'm sorry that this happened to you, and I hope there's a chance to recover the funds because there's your passphrase there somewhere. I also want to join others by saying that it seems that your problem wasn't a mistake in choosing a crypto for investment, but not being attentive enough about where you're storing your coins. ETH was a good choice, so perhaps you can spot an attractive coin successfully once again. IMO, a very promising coin to look into is Polkadot, and now that BTC price is down, it's also worth looking into. Make sure you store your passphrase in multiple locations so that you don't lose funds again. Good luck!

It is unfortunate when you have assets in your trezor wallet and you lose them. it is a very valuable asset. Even if the price goes down that time at least you keep it in a safe and easy to remember place.

all you have to do now to start over is prepare capital to trade if you really want to trade or take part in some airdrops and some new whitelist projects to become investors. all you can do. and most importantly do not ignore any assets you have. assets that you ignore until they disappear even become very valuable and very expensive assets for now.

When we're in a bear market, it's very effective to stay from the market if it's only giving you anxiety, pressure and disappointment. And that's what I can see with OPs experience, I did the same and sold some from my past holdings and I'm happy with that although I didn't maximized it to the peak of selling price but still I've made profit.

OP, you practice trading with an amount that you're very much fine to lose for you to attain some experience and with that, you'll learn the basics of it but first, access to your wallet with the use of your recovery phrase/seed. You don't need someone to do that for you and don't give those words to anyone.

You are the only ones who could find the answer for yourself because even other people on this market had the same problem as yours and its true that theres no such thing
about being late when you do deal with crypto because the potential is limitless when it comes to price increase but of course we should think about the risk which do
always accompanied by it. Regrets are there since you arent the only ones missing out those golden opportunities to make some serious profits.
Always consider that risk management thing so that we can able to avoid those mistakes that we do had committed in the past.

If you bought it for $ 700 and it costs $ 3300 now - then I don't understand at all what problems are we talking about? This is a great investment that anyone would find even in a falling market now. So discard your Ethetium and later buy it again while it goes down. To get involved in short trading, provided that I have not been in the subject for a long time, I would not until you study the situation, because they have changed greatly over these 2-3 years. Good investment anyway!

If you believe in something then you can ride out the uncertain times, my advice would be invest what you can afford, and if you intend on cashing out into fiat currencies at some point, then set a threshold where you will cash out, and don't go belong it. Treat it as gambling. For example, invest $1000, wait until Bitcoin hits 100k to withdraw. You would have effectively doubled your money. Well, a little bit more.

Agreed. With the way things are now you're better off starting by taking profits on your current portfolio. Then get started on some reading, you got some catch up to do as the crypto market expanded aggressively for the past few months.

Once you gain some confidence you can for sure start trading a bit but as always make sure your doing some analysis before hand as now it is dangerous to buy in any alt coin. Some may say we're already in a bear season but some can say that we're not there yet.

Either way you need to get a feel of the market and do some analysis before throwing in your money. Good luck!

But are we in a bear market, this is the question.
We had a number of 30% drops in 2017 bull market, so this isn't anything new.

I recommend not trading if you're asking people to help you with it OP. People like you fall victim of signal groups and other scams.
You have a tough choice to make and I'd recommend to take some profit and sell some of your ETH. Also, I'd get some BTC with my ETH profits just in case.

it is definitely worth paying attention to this. When he set up Trezor for the first time, he had to create a recovery seed. so it exists, you just have to remember where it could be, is it on paper or file.

It's never too late. In 2018 yr, I lost +/- 10BTC because of a hack, of course, I continued on.

First thing first, you should learn how to store your crypto assets correctly because that is very important and never forget the private key that under your control.  Crypto investment in the long term is a good idea and I rather say, focus on Bitcoin investment which is safe and we know that it will always have ATH every 5 years I think based on the history.

To tell you frankly, trading and investment are different things here.  Trading is very risky if you don't know the technical stuff, it won't work while investment is sort of safe because all you have to do is wait for the perfect time of selling and when your profit was there.  I may advise, learn first and have your own research before you will start in trading.

Felt so sad in your situation, you lose your 9ETH for such stupidity? Naturally, it often happens when you never think that particular thing gives you anything in the future and you never care if you lose that as it was just nothing for you before. Many cases happen like this, in fact, some people lose their wallet keys. Because the reality is that we can just appreciate a thing if it has value and we can see its importance if we can benefit from it, and that is why you are remembering it now.

Well, I think you felt mad about the situation but consider this mistake as sort of your encouragement to invest again in crypto. And I hope this time you can appreciate all the things you acquired even it has no value as this time because you'll never know, crypto has the potential as long as it still exists in the market. 

It looks like you've done a pretty good job choosing the crypto for investment, the only problem you have is with storage. Generally, it's not that hard, I don't know why so many people have troubles with that. Here are some things that might help you keep your crypto:

1.Using hardware wallets should be a priority, it's much safer than online wallets. But I think you already figured that if you used Trezor.

2. Store your recovery phrase in a visible place and make many copies of it. Place one copy on a piece of paper on your table, somewhere like that, and don't be afraid. For everyone else, it's just a meaningless number of words, but for you - it's a guarantee you will recover your funds whatever happens.
Store other copies in different places.

3. Tell your close relative or a person you trust about your savings and give them another copy of the passphrase, emphasize the importance of this phrase to make sure they won't lose it.
This will not only help you in case you lost access but will also give the opportunity for your close ones to access the funds in case something happens to you.
Not many people think of such things, but the fact is, we never know what might happen to us and it would be a pity if all your money was just lost because no one knew where you store your passwords.  

It is really never too late for anyone to start off their journey doing trading with crypto. It is just that you must have the initiative to get along with the current market movement to get yourself adaptable and flexible to your working environment. With the case of OP, it seems like he will not be starting from scratch if he will just take patience on recovering his Trezor and accessing his 9ETH stored in it that will give him a handy to start up as a capital on doing trading because he have bought those fro $700 and with the current price of ETH, it will already have a big contribution for his trading capital. For the others who will be starting from scratch, it will still be good to start up now because lots of opportunities are still present. You just have to be patient and time will come you can grow yourself into doing crypto related works.

You just need to be more carefull about ur wallet. Right now, i guess you lost all of your ETH because of your mistake. If you want to start again, i think this is the perfect time because market has been bleeding.

actually I have also known bitcoin since 2017. But since the crash market, I started to think that bitcoin is a high risk investment and a small profit.  Earlier this year, I realized bitcoin is a very profitable investment.  It is never too late to invest in bitcoin, bitcoin and altcoin prices still have the potential to go up even higher.  If many countries or companies have started using bitcoin or using other crypto platforms.  At that time the price of bitcoin and crypto will rise even higher

You already have 9 ETH you bought at $700 or you've sold them out?
If you're still holding then you don't need any capital to start a trade cause you are a 20-30k dollars holder. Just don't panic when investing into any coin, normally you take risk to invest but don't panic cause your fear might lead you doing something silly like selling at the deep just like you said here. You bought the coin and it keeps going down but now you can see the price of ethereum very cool and profitable to you. I'll advice you subscribe to any youtube channel with a good trading tutor to have more knowledge on trading as you do your own research.

Now is the best time to buy low 8)

your story is slightly simillar to us too .
 its when we know bitcoin and refuse to continue but you dont need to regret in yours because the reason you dont continue in btc is because you have a business but ours is more regretting because we spend the time in non important things .
if we only spend it in btc we could have been more richier than what we had now .

i thought you want to start from scratch
 ? but if you have some experience you can easily recall it after you read trading topics . thats called a memory .

I am sorry to hear you lost your wallet. Maybe you can search at your home or your office and maybe you can found it. Yes, that feels hurt to see we lost our wallet because that is our job to take care of our wallet. If you want to start trading, you can register on Binance and buy bitcoin or usdt after you deposit some money to Binance. You need to learn more about trading to have a chance to make a profit and never give up when you are not making a profit because you will have your time to make a profit.

It must be very upsetting to lose Trezor which still has 9 ETH in it, knowing that the price of ETH is now very high. But no matter how you can't
keep thinking about it, you have to move on and start over. Better to start late, than live in regret. Moreover, the current crypto price is falling
quite deeply, you can start buying Bitcoin and Ethereum. I think you should just hold your Bitcoin and Ethereum first. The most important thing is
to save your hardware wallet properly, don't let the mistake of losing Trezor happen again. I really do not recommend you to trade without knowledge
and experience, therefore when you are holding BTC and ETH, you can learn how to analyze the market. After you really understand how to analyze
the market, you can start trading with small capital.

As you have read others warning you to save your passphrase next time so you will not make the mistake again, 9 eth is not a small money and buy you would have been a millionaire within a short of time.
I wouldn't advise you to consider trading as a way of entering into cryptocurrencies industry now, trading is not profitable and now that the market is going down, it is the best opportunity for you to buy at dip and hodl for long term. The same way you did bought eth and forget about it should be the same way you will enter into crypto, but this time do not fail to save and store your secret keys perfectly.

I'm just giving the idea if we're already on it. The experience that OP has did good to him and resulted very well.

And with the question if we're on the bear market, I can't say if it's already the bear market that's on us when it has came from all the way from $60k~ish and then it had dropped to $36k~ish.

But these prices, I don't worry with it.

I even started earlier than you, I was in crypto since 2016 and that was the year crypto was still at a very low price. the future of cryprocurrency or bitcoin is getting better and more and more known by people. some companies have started to adopt crypto and many institutions are starting to enter crypto because they know crypto provides more benefits.

it is never too late to start everything. cryptocurrency is still going to provide big surprises in the future.

With now on the current price dip? Do you think that those kind of  views wont change again? For sure it does specially for newcomers out there where they do hope
that much or anticipate on getting rich with their crypto investment and with this current price correction for sure those kind of anticipation would break out and
frustration would comes next.Its true that its never too late to start but it would be much more wiser if you do consider on when to get in
on something which is cheaper.

If you bought around $700 then you have good profit by now. 1 ETH right now is worth over $2,700, so the nine ETH you bought then will be worth around $25,000 by now. You should get to your wallet and claim the profit, although I still feel like the uptrend is not over yet, but it’s good that you’re back now and you should be keeping an eye on the assets that you have invested in and know what’s happening so you don’t miss out. And if you’re serious about trading, try to do some lessons and read trading articles online, you can make use of learning websites such as Coursera and Udemy to learn whatever you want to learn

I agree that it's never too late to start - there is only one "BUT". Market 2017, 2019 and today's market are completely different things. Of course, the basic properties of the cryptocurrency market remained, but still. I think that even after leaving the market for more than a month, entering it again, you will find yourself in a new reality. But an inquisitive cryptomaniac should not be stopped by any difficulties - you just need to enter the market in small parts, averaging, by and large, the further price movement cannot be predicted, but when you cope with greed and carefully, like with the steps of a cat you open your purchases or sell, in any case you will be left with a profit.

Of course, it's never too late to start. And now I think this is the best time also because many crypto platforms have an MSB license. Therefore, by choosing binance, coinbase, ownr, trust or others, beginners will increase the security of their funds at the start.

If you still have the means to recover your funds from Trezor wallet, please do that first.
That's a lot of ETH and to be honest we would happen to have the same mistake anyway like not caring that I invested a little in ETH or even BTC back in the days.

If you really wanted to start from the scratch, you could go to Coinbase and buy BTC or ETH. BTC is kinda retaking back the 40k+, so you might need to buy now before the train goes off.
Otherwise, for cheaper choices, go with ETH.

I completely agree with you on this one. This is exactly what some of my newbie friends are asking if it’s too late for them. I just said that it’s never too late as long they just do their own researching, learning how to manage their risks properly, investing what they can afford to lose, strong belief in Bitcoin, etc.

Maybe we are being crushed days ago, but we are gonna bounce back stronger than ever!

It's always best to advise not to go in if they don't have enough knowledge about the investment that they'll going to take.

It's not too late as there's always up and down that they'll be able to encounter while dealing with this business, they just or we just need
to make sure that we are willing to work with our progress, never too late but always have the high chance to learned and make a good benefits out from this market.

You went through a bear market once and you are more experienced than newbies. Any market has a repetition so stay alert and my advice is that taking profits is never wrong. Never try to catch a bottom when you don't understand how it works.
Now that you have a profit when you buy ETH at $ 700, consider taking a profit on the invested capital to ensure risk.

If you want to study trading, then start first on the basic fundamentals of trading and seek advice from someone who's an expert when it comes to trading. It's such a waste that you've lost Trezor which contains 9 ETH and you should've gained a profit now if you wouldn't lose it. Also, it's never too late to invest and the best time to buy is today or you'll miss your chance

This policy is the right decision.  I've been through periods of euphoria in times of need to be weak.  The slaughterhouses smothered that excitement in 2018, I was forced to turn away and that's when I realized the failure.  Bitcoin and crypto are the long-term hunt.  32k seems to be a good defense for bitcoin to get out of control.  This is a good time to review and buy.

You're welcome back, OP. Glad you didn't eventually get totally scared off this industry. Though it's fraught with ups and downs, there are still much positive outcome from it as many are daily making headway in cryptocurrency. However, I would like to let you know that trading is a more technical stuff than hodling. If you're insistent on trading, then I advise that you get to learn the required skill sets for it. Otherwise, you will likely end up losing whatever capital you put in. Follow the YouTube links put up here by posters above me and peruse them with seriousness. I believe you will be able to grasp something therein.

You have a chance to start right now, the crypto market is currently crashing, maybe you need to monitor the market for the next few days, if you want to invest and trade crypto again.

Overall, the conditions of opportunity are still in your favor, you need careful consideration before you do it, in essence: be sure and do.

Bitcoin today touched $ 33,000, watch and so on.

Look at the current price, you are profitable even though the price is currently being corrected severely. you already have patience in trading and become true hodlers why don't you just continue it, I think now it's pretty good to buy new assets because after the decline problem is over I am sure it will go up beautifully because with your patience in holding assets is also very much needed in this case. and I really salute you who have kept your assets for a long time to get a big profit now.

You can leave your regrets and start from a scratch. Actually, it is a good time to enter an investment considering the fact that the market is currently experiencing a bloodbath. As you get the chance to buy from a low price and you know you can wait and persevere, you should not miss the opportunity once again. Do not repeat the same mistakes you had back then. There are a lot of people who didn't even had the opportunity of learning about crypto yet you mistakenly thought things wouldn't get better anymore as you got from the price last 2019. If you don't want to regret again, start right away while you still can.

But majority would really be hesitant to get in on the current condition on the market on where they would really believe that the crash might continue and in result in losing
investments or negative instead so i cant really say that it would be an easy decision to get in right at the moment but for us who had known this market and a bit
knowledgeable when it comes to technicals then entering into this current price is not really a bad idea at all.Its true that its not really too late to start
because if you do engage with crypto market then there's always a never ending opportunity to gain profit but of course you should mind also with the risk.

For me, as long you really ready to buy, and it is not in peak, it is never too late to start make investment in bitcoin. Like for when i post this, bitcoin price still down and it is good to buy and i will use 50% of my money to buy it and then save it for next dump to buy again. With that i think more safe to do because investment is risky, depends on us to minimize that risk.

It is easy, sell some of your investment to buy or diversify your investment and your gonna be able to buy some investment that you think has the potential in the future or have the potential as an investment.

I mean you could never go wrong with Bitcoin and Ethereum if you already have that investment you could just stick with that but there are also high-risk high reward altcoins in the market that you could always invest in.

At least be updated with the price with the market is pumping since that is the perfect time to sell your investment, or go too back and see if you already have the profit like for example in Ethereum.

The most awaited moment by most crypto enthusiasts when there is a big correction because in that case, they can take advantage of the market and invest while bitcoin is on a dip price. And I guess that is right, it never too late to invest in bitcoin as long as you can wait for the perfect time and you will see that your profit was and that's good to go to take your profit away, to reinvest, or whatever you will do.

That's right, it is a perfect time to buy and wait until it will resist again, for sure your profit will always there once the bitcoin price will grow up. Who knows, it will be tomorrow or by next week.

Don't trade it because it does not look for you, buy and save only.
Hodling your coins will give you an extra edge over others who lost their coins by both spot and futures trading during this crash. Wait for a better price as the correction still is not over, but this week will be bullish overall for crypto. You are early, but set your buy orders at unbelievable prices and see if the price drops till your desired target, then you will get your requested discount.

Well first and foremost you have to be much more dedicated in trading, the market is not looking so good right now but there is still money to be made amidst this mess, so don't let it get through your mental. Trading isn't really something I would recommend as I usually just diversify and hold for as long as I can or until the market reaches a very high value, but to each his own I guess.

You are right that it is never too late to start the crypto world. However, you must also remember that even it is never too late, you should enter or buy the crypto at the right time. Entering the crypto when the price is at the top maybe not appropriate. At least, you can see the chance to get the right time for buying like when it is just going start to rising, not when at the top.

That's wise. Today market is still very volatile and dropped. Trading needs a very readiness, not only thinking about the profits but also risks. We all know that trading requires high risks and if we are only getting here because of following other people to trade and get profits, we may be wrong and regret because losing money.
Many people newly only trade based on hype and this is dangerous because there may be so easily to panic everytime the price is going up.

That's right, it's better to be late than never, I'm just like you. but I started again and was very excited. get rid of the pessimism in yourself, otherwise, it will always make us feel guilty and hopeless.

"It's never too late" applies to long-term holders, but you'd think again if you were an active trader. Regardless, a bear market is the best time to restart trading by accumulating on several support lines.


If you store your assets in Trezor, that means you are not an active trader. Your only problem is that you lost your hard wallet. I don't know how that happens but you have to prepare something so similar events can be handled like extracting private keys or seeds separately in a "safe" place (offline).

It is said," Late is better than never".So join Bitcoin business with having courage & dare regarding ups and downs are the part of the business. In the same way, if we earn profit then there are chances of loss also. But there is a need to study this business. Study maps, charts, psychology of this business, whales, up and down and after some experience you will get better.

actually, you have eth, where still store in your wallet, or you already sell it?
investment is something that have value, and will always grow bigger than before. if that price down, just ignore it because your last line is not there. wait longer is better and you can do the other thing. and there is no too late on investing, problem just the price is bigger, when you late to start, you can do it later with scary price, but still profitable

Yes, that's right, it's never too late to start, or better late than never. Like me, I'm arguably too late to even start to dive into the world of bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. But for me I would regret it even more if I didn't get into it even if it was too late. And it's proven now, I can feel the benefits even though maybe not like most people, yes it was first in bitcoin.

Of course it's never too late if you still want to rejoin cryptocurrency. Start your first step with more caution. Don't sell Trezor at the wrong time like you did before. You seem to need good self-management exercises such as emotional processing. Stay calm and don't panic under any circumstances, especially if the market conditions are down and don't recover, you must have a strong mentality. Because this is really important and influential.

For an investor to remain calm, he has to educate himself and learn from mistakes made in the past. I think long term investment would fit for those who do not believe to be profitable in short term trading, by constantly buying bitcoin regardless of the market situation, I guess that strategy is simple but very effective and only requires some discipline to do it well.

As you are now practically seeing the growth of crypto, you tend to be back and concentrate on it back and yes I am sure this interest will take you further as long as you dedicate your time and energy in learning and analyzing the market where to invest and where to not, will support you gain more revenue. So yes, once you invest, keep an eye on the market and handle the orders accordingly. Do not ignore as like you did last time.

Start it if you feel you're ready and confident in yourself so that if in the future you get a failure you can accept it. it doesn't mean that entering the crypto world is a scary thing but you have to believe in your own abilities to be able to take advantage of crypto here. the most important is knowledge of the trade itself. seek and increase knowledge as much as possible in order to trade well. other than that, don't give up easily with the crypto market that goes up and down because it's a natural thing and we must be able to react to it well. do the best version of you and find learning in every trade that is made.

It's never too late to start. You can start anything on anytime on anywhere. If you want join Crypto you can join and learn about crypto invest, trade and Earning. Because the first step to get towards getting somewhere is to decide you're not going to stay where you are.

It's time to change your own destiny by understanding crypto properly and how to run it properly. many investors are too late to understand about crypto properly so it can result in unknowingly losing their assets. but on the other hand, many investors are already successful because they have managed to run crypto professionally and are able to read bitcoin market movements well.

If you say it's too late or not, then I just want to strengthen it by saying it's never too late for that, on the other hand, it all depends on each person's strategy and choice.
if indeed they do a good strategy by playing it safe and investing according to the flow and not being adventurous then I will guarantee it will be good, but on the contrary if they do invest and always do things with greed for example by being in a place of fomo and hype then the result will be different, it's still good if you have good luck but the risk is losing the asset completely

It depends what you want from this - If you're expecting to multiply your money by 10 times, then buying Bitcoin at this level for example would be unrealistic - it would require trillions more to be invested by other people to reach such a level. However if you're able to find cutting edge new coins that have a unique selling point advantage over anything else on the market, or go the "meme coin" route trying to chase whatever is being hyped (for short term wins) then it might be possible to multiply your money substantially. However you need to be prepared to lose it all with these strategy, because if you're a winner then chances are someone else will be a loser in this game.

You are not alone on this table. I was introduced into Crypto around 2017/2018 but I totally stayed away when some of my investment went South. I thought I wasn't really carve out for Crypto, thank God I embrace it fully 2021.
So, I would advice that you get a mentor, and gather as much knowledge as possible. And also, this forum is a good place to start.

Of course, it's never too late to enter the cryptocurrency market. We do not know in which direction the market will develop and what surprises it may present to us. However, those people who only want to work in this market have certainly lost a lot. Not only in terms of profit, but also in terms of gaining that knowledge about cryptocurrency and this market in general, which other participants have gradually acquired and gained rich experience. After all, this market is multifaceted and it is impossible to study it in a short time. Therefore, the earlier we join the cryptocurrency market, the easier, safer and more efficient our work on it will be.

It is a matter of perspective here. So if the OP doesn't want to regret few years from now, why not start getting in this market again. You don't need to buy 1 btc or such, but find ways on how to accumulate potential coins or how to earn satoshis. It will indeed overwhelm you if you look at the price. But small activities will help you earn some, and later on, you will thank yourself that you didn't give up.

Even just aiming for 2x profits wouldnt really be possible for Bitcoin unless if you do hold for couple of years or even a decade thats why its just sensible that you would really be aiming for low cap or coins which are still cheap or could still have potential on getting those bigger multipliers on possible all time high that they could reach out.

Speaking of never too late to start then its true but we know that prices is already high and to those who get or entered early are the ones who do make out advantage or benefits when
the market had made out some uprising movement.

Thing here you should bare in mind is that invest on the money that you could only afford to lose in terms of crypto investment.

So what happened to the $700 ETH that you bought in 2018? Did you lose your wallet or your private keys to the wallet and not able to access it anymore? Because the price of Ethereum then compared to what it is now is a huge difference. Right now, the price of Ethereum is around $4000 and it will also continue to be increasing.

If you still have the wallets then you can sell and withdraw the money of the coin that you have stored in the Trezorwallet. But if you have lost it ,then that’s another issue because there wouldn’t be a way for you to be able to get that back. Anyone who is investing cryptocurrency and storing it in hardware wallets really has to be careful about it.

From your case I can suggest to be more organized in storing and organizing, I also do that because I think good organization will help us a lot when we need it the most, also because there is so much work and memory limitations, note-taking and organizing is very important to protect us from loss. My other suggestion is, separate your important storage with the main drive that you use frequently, it will protect your saved data from viruses and other attacks.

It is never too late to start anything as far as life still exists.  It is a matter of time to get all you have missed in the previous time. All things can be done when you realise to start what you really want to achieve.
There is no late comer to invest,  the main thing is one to be focused and pursue that  very goal and to make sure it is been achieved.

But you cant really avoid not to think that the market now is already too expensive for you to invest on or you cant really avoid to think that it is way too late for you to invest but honestly you could

really still make significant profits if you have done it right but still varies on how well you do make or do in your investment so its a personal kind of act and effort.
If you are serious on dealing with crypto investment then its up to your choice as long you are aware on the risks.

Op has requested for help on getting into cryptocurrency trading almost seven months back. By then price was in the peak. That wasn't the right time to enter the market. Entering at the high point and further making profit out of trading is possible, but how effective this happens depends on the user skill and understanding about the market.

If he hasn't invested back now he can take it as an opportunity or wait for some more time. Because, it is said that the market is gonna turn bearish.

This is not acceptable. Honestly, I believe that if you are talking to yourself, you are using a profitable strategy. There are people who day trade as well as those who trade monthly, and they all make a good profit. Holding a coin is also referred to as long-term trading because you are simply waiting for the right moment to sell the coin. I believe that this is dependent on the trader's strategy; if that is your strategy, then go for it; if, however, you are talking to everyone, then it isn't as profitable as it appears.

Regarding the subject at hand. It is still not too late to begin; consider the current price of bitcoin and compare it to the price three years from now; the price could be three times higher; therefore, why not begin right away?

good that it did not took me that long before realizing the benefits bitcoin may give to me, yeah it was introduced to me back in 2015 but just forget it then, until before 2017 when the market goes huge and i luckily invested before the final booming in last quarter of 2017.
Now i might be late but will always be grateful for cryptocurrencies .
so there is never too late in this field because the market is still growing and the chance is there to make money but of course not as fast as what 10 years ago .

Let the things in the past where we might have done the execution wrong can be a lesson not to do things like that in the future, because what we have done is the best lesson we have to not repeat it again.

so don't feel complacent let alone despair to continue to learn something for improvement because learning will never be interrupted to continue to be added. also don't feel late with what you are going to do there is always time to redo and fix it properly.

so it's true "It's never too late to start" because it's true that crypto growth continues to grow so never continue to study and dedicate and manage well, then you will one day get something that you really hope for.

No time is to late . The year is getting to an end . For those who think they missed the opportunity it is never late. As the new year is beginning let it be a reminder to start up those things we could no meet up . Most time procrastinating is tend to tie is down not to pursue important things.

Your case is a familiar one to me. I've a few friends I introduced to this forum who've not been active. At some point I got annoyed that I merely wasted my time and resources on them, considering the fact that one had to pay that "evil registration" fee for them. However, when I read stories like yours I get encouraged that one day they could return to the forum.

If you keep writing this way with irrelevance, ranking up will be a forgone alternative.

No, it was a little bit late but at least we still have the opportunity than to miss everything.
To able to start this new year for investment is literally a good idea, it means a new beginning and besides, the price isn't high which is really our chance to make buy while it was cheap.
I'm thinking that 2022 is still a good year for crypto and a more bullish market to come. If we are able to start as early as possible, that gonna be our favor to make a huge profit.

Crypto is an amazing opportunity that extends far beyond just an investment opportunity. If you want to invest you really should do yourself a favor and learn as much about the philosophy of crypto as you should about how to make money from it. Bitcoin is only truly profitable for those who own 30K or more. $5K in Bitcoin now, you’ll never get rich in the next decade.  There’s other alt coins that would be better for $5K and the payout would be much more than Bitcoin.

There is no match to learn because you have already experience what is your mistake and that is "TRUSTING CRYPTOCURRENCIES" so from that you should learn to Invest with Heart and Mind.
Buy and HODL , simply as that .

you have been here since 2017 so you already Knew what i am saying here.

Of course, it's never too late to invest in any type. now the value of bitcoin is very expensive compared to a few years ago, I'm sure every year it increases so if you have money invest because the price of bitcoin in 2 or 3 years must be very expensive. everyone has their own time.

I think it's better late than never, even though the price of Bitcoin is high right now, but that does not mean there is no opportunity to be able to
generate profits. Because the price of Bitcoin will continue to rise every year, so buying Bitcoin now can still generate profits from Bitcoin.
But always invest money that we can afford to lose, even though investing in Bitcoin is actually quite safe, but because the price of Bitcoin is volatile,
there is nothing wrong with being careful and not using money for daily needs. After buying Bitcoin we have to be patient waiting for the Bitcoin price
to rise and reach the target we want, because making a profit from Bitcoin can't be obtained instantly.

I think everyone understands that every year bitcoin increases very significantly, but the problem is that they are still afraid to invest in cryptocurrencies assuming that the market is uncontrollable or often bearish. but basically investing in bitcoin is very good and very not slow now to invest.

Indeed, but I bet the OP knows that already because as stated he/she has been here in this forum since 2017 but the OP have become inactive due to the market's dipping and boredom. Surely, the OP have learned his/her mistake as the wallets called Trezors containing 9 ETH has been missing since 2018 during his/her inactivity. There's no way to recover that if it's already omitted so the best way left is to start again from the start and make the mistakes as an experience so that it won't happen again sooner. That 9 ETH is a big amount now and it would been a big help if the OP didn't forget the wallet.

We actually have the same experience- started on the forum last 2017 (though I participated into various campaign signatures) but I went on spending every bit of its proceeds. Unfortunately, I did not expect its price to skyrocket to its price now; I would have earned around $20,000+ on the bank if I just kept and HODL my BTCs.

While trading may be considered an alternative method of earning BTCs, I highly advise to avoid it especially if you lack the necessary skills and experience on the field. But if you really prefer trading, then start low and learn from there. Trading and staking high amounts of value may result into a loss that is unexpected due to the high risk of the method itself.

It becomes too late when you refuse to accept the future which is crypto. Now, that you have realized how beneficial it will be to get involved with crypto. I would want you to start with investing in top altcoins first before diving into trading. Trading requires more proficiency than you think.
This time around make sure to write down your private keys because that owes your assets. Crypto shouldn't be taken for granted as you did before. Keep yourself informed of the happenings in the cryptosphere.

Starting from scratch is it by trading? That's a big mistake if you now think crypto is all about trading without having the proper knowledge of it.
Don't rush into trading that's my friendly advice to you

Good point, starting low and try checking if you are fit for this business.

Never to rush things out, most of those who participated because of the hypes failed and losses their money inside this market,
it's never too late if you know what you are doing and you understand the cycle.

Invest your time and not only your money to understand the nature of this business if you see by yourself that you are capable
working around, that's the best time to go full time and invest a good portion of your savings.

No,its never too late to start.Just start with doing research about top coins like why are they unique and technology behind them. Understand current situation and invest small, and when you get grasp of market cycles then its upto you.Always remember only invest money which you okay with losing and also that you are not in loss unless you sell.
Dont panic sell and be patient.

Welcome back to crypto. "It is never too late to get started on a new path of success. You can shape your life the way you want it to be by putting in the work on a daily basis. - Anonymous" BTC right now is taking correction and its price is revolving in window of 45k to 50k. I suggest spend some time seeing the price volatility before making final decision about investment.

experience is a great teacher. maybe this saying really applies to it.
speaking for a beginner maybe they will be a little confused because they haven't experienced anything unexpected.
but for people who have been around for a long time, of course they have experienced various kinds of unexpected events.
I like your expression, namely buy then hodl.
but of course it is not as simple as imagined. it takes a process of patience and resistance not to sell when the temptation of the price is good it's very difficult to do

It is still not too late to start with BTC, if we take into account that BTC is a currency that is in a reasonable price to buy, it should be seen as an opportunity, I know that many BTC investors want to buy lower, but it is difficult than BTC lower more, we must take into account that there are many people and institutions who bought BTC and who will defend a certain price level, nobody likes to see their investment fall, and they may be defending their positions with a good amount of very high sell orders This is what I call the great wall of protection, although this happens, even if you invest 1usd or the amount you want in BTC at this time, I am sure that it will multiply and in the medium term, it is time to get on the train and not miss the good things in life.

Ok, guys.... OP has posted this many months ago and he has not even responded to any of the answers and advice that was provided in his thread. I reckon he sold his 9 Ethereum coins at a profit for $30k and he quit Crypto currencies.

So there is no need for people to post anything new in this thread, because he simply abandoned the thread after he probably sold his coins.
Can one of the moderators please close this thread, because it served it's purpose.  ;)

Late is better than never. If you had started the bitcoin business in the past and there was an interval due to your busy life in business. Now you can join it frequently. The ETH , whatever in your wallet has good increment n& profit in your absence. This is the grace of this business that has earned in your absence also.
Now it is better for you to study this business for success. A lot of websites are there to guide you and videos, presentations also on youtube that will help in all aspects of this business. So trade with good courage and daring.

That is right from you, because no time you buy Bitcoin is time wasted or too late, even though Bitcoin price goes up and clamps to $100 today is not late usual, when you start to buy your own Bitcoin is when your journey into bitcoin started, see Bitcoin and altcoins don't have the same value, the values of bitcoin is higher than altcoins because bitcoin don't have control of going up and down but altcoins will go down with out standing again

yes that's right ,, for those who have mistakes or something to lose we can rise up our mistakes fight bitcoin crypto for your good investment if we lose it's not too late everything is just here bitcoin is open to everyone who wants to be a crypto assets and traders  whatever else we can get with bitcoin he is just here ready to accept us so next time just be careful when using crypto and make sure that you are getting the right job to be a trader or bounty just be careful always because we are not alone there are many interfering  to us and pretended, so just be careful ...

Yes, it's never too late to start investing in bitcoin, especially now that the market is red, it's an opportunity for us because we can buy BTC at a discount from ATH.
This is really a golden opportunity, don't let it be missed again like in previous years.

Yeah, It's never too late to start investing in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a popular coin in cryptocurrency. Now bitcoin price little dip coz  few week ago bitcoin price was around $50k+ but now $41.5k+ So don't miss the big opportunity like 2021.
Buy more Bitcoin and hold long time.I think you will be get good profit from it.I Think bitcoin price will be more increase this year.

Yeah indeed many thought that the price of bitcoin is expensive and they think that they might late for buying it and it may turn scam, many newbie think about that while in reality its just there's a perfect time for anyone to enter then buy bitcoin and that time is now or when we see the price is dumping since if we do this when market is crashing we could provably earn compare if we join the hype and gotten by FOMO then for sure we are prone for losing at that scenario.

Trading not only requires skill but also confidence in what you are doing. My advice is that in the future you don't take crypto lightly because bitcoin and eth have become high-value investment assets. btw, 8 eth is currently quite high value, if you can find it again then you can start trading again with good capital.

Yes, its never too late to begin with. With all your experience you had, begin fresh and invest on few best coins. Investors strength has really grown up more due to recent ATHs. In order to gain profits, just be patient but keep watching the market. Set up just a small percentage of profits and close off the trades when it is crossed. And keep updating yourself with news so that you will know how the market'd move will be.

Top altcoins in the market is considerable for you to held up for long term but of course it wont really make out some guarantees that you could really make out money with thats why you should really

able to bare with the risk involve because engaging with crypto doesnt automatically means that you would make out some money or profits in assured manner.Its never late to start out

but there are people who had been thinking off with this way just because they are hoping that they should have entered way more earlier but well we do know that we cant
turn back time.

If you want to start again from scratch, then you should start from basics as well, and choose what kind of trader do you want to become, break out, scalping or wing trade. Then create a plan and of course before anything else back test your strategy. After that review and create demo account to build knowledge.. Probably after all of that things you are ready again to go with live trading.. Just always follow the rules or your plans..

It was unfortunate that you have lost your trezor which contains the crypto you bought years ago. I hope there's a way you could stumble upon to recover your seed phrase at least to open your account again. Because 9 ETH is such a big amount especially now that it pumped its way up after several years have passed. But since you have mentioned that you want to start from scratch, I assume you are now ready to let go and forget the assets you bought.

If you will be investing once more in crypto, /just invest what you can afford to lose. you can invest your spare money if you have so that if ever things go bad, you won't be heavily affected. Ask yourself if you want to stay for the long term or short term and from there, decide. If you are here for the short term, then have some capital that you could use to make your money flow in buy and sell. If you are here for the short term, invest in good coins and hold as long as you can and as long as you are satisfied. It's never too late after all to start investing. It's better to do it now than never at all. We can always make up with the missed times and opportunities today rather than waiting to regret once more in the future.

Why would you start at 0?
You have 9 Ethereum, which you bought for $ 700, you got a mega profit, withdraw part of the profit and start buying the top 10 tokens, I do not advise you to enter Bitcoin at such a price, consider BNB, Polkadot, Solana, Matic, etc. ,

Its never too late to start. If you wanna do anything you not need for any chek points. You start from anywhere you want. Crypto currency is new currency and it is time to start earning in it. Future is bright of Crypto so join it and earn

If you see an opportunity and say it's too late, I think now can be used as a momentum for those who have never experienced being on this path.
now we are in a fairly large discount and this is certainly very good when used properly but with a note, don't look at the price too often when you already have it and determine how long you will be here because often seeing prices when you already have assets is something which is bad and can make you think more negatively :D

I liked the headline but upon reading about this simply being about trading and making money I’m a bit less thrilled with the context. The headline is true, is never to late to do anything especially when we are discussing finances and bettering yourself and your financial positioning..but..trading is not for very many and it comes with very high risk..be careful !

Trading might sound good but its not when you are on the actual situation and before you do able to achieve success then this would talks extreme factors for you to survive out  this unpredictable market.

Yeah, its never too late to start on putting up yourself into this venture but be wise and be sure on what you are dealing with.Dont let those mindset and emotions of greed will really control you out.

In investment here on crypto space which being greedy is never been recommendable even though trading is hard but doesnt mean its impossible to learn and make money from it.

Yeah, it depends on how we adapt to the situation where we can't guarantee any assurance that we can make a profit, especially in trading. We can't deny that many people were underestimated trading and thought it was soo easy but they are wrong, it was too different when doing the actual.
Thus, if they want to grow and succeed in trading, they'll be working hard and starting it now. It is a long way to learn before we reach our goal and to start earlier the better as surely it comes to positive results in the future.

If you lost your Trezor with 9 ETH, yes it's better to restart than to never again reenter this fast-growing market. I'd focus on gradually accumulating, and you will have plenty of opportunity to do so next bear market (we may be entering one right now). Take your lost ETH as a learning experience and focus on BTC and other solid coins (I think ETH is one of these, but you have to keep abreast with developments in case ETH loses its position).

I also do not suggest trading. I suggest investing and focusing on the long term.

Agreed. There might be another wave soon as I am writing this. My prediction that the wave will push bitcoin over the 70k mark.

Bitcoin is never too late to start because it is the best currency to invest in whenever it is needed there is no chance of being scammed. The crypto market for bitcoin is gaining so much popularity until then the price of bitcoin has risen so much that many people are running after it investing in bitcoin stumbled but there is no reason to despair bitcoin's price is so expensive for its rise and fall. Not too late is the right time to hold convenient for beginners.

Probably is possible to see Bitcoin to another level today but the problem is that Bitcoin price is getting lower in price and 42 thousand it is right now is strong to believe and predict that is going to clap to another level of price, we are just looking at the next clap of price will be, and if you want to buy Bitcoin it suppose to be this particular time that the price is low because this time is the best time to purchase bitcoin and when it increases you make profit

This is the reason why its better to always grab the opportunity when people ignore that kind of privileges I start bitcoin since the market drops which is around march 2019 if im not mistaken and that time I didn't bought a large amount of value of bitcoin because i don't have enough money and one of the regrets imagine the price of the bitcoin ATH is almost 70k USD, for now, we are going on the bear market for some time and its a good thing to buy as possible always try to risk what you afford not all the time crypto gives tons of millionaires immediately.

Meanwhile the same thing happened to me. I know about bitcoin in the last 2 years where I also took the opportunity to buy some satoshi based on my financial means. My purchasing decision have never been bad as I managed to get a very satisfactory return in less than 1 year.

I am interested in trading, investing and basic technical knowledge. I never felt late even though the price of bitcoin was quite high at the time. We can always learn knowledge about bitcoin regardless of high or low price. Once we start, the word late is useless.

this is what others not seeing in this industry , that the dumping season is at some point advantage for the believers because most of the newbie now enters this market for a quick bucks but they did not anticipate the opportunity to make more money in long term.
also this is the reason why those people i tend to encourage to enter this market had been told that never expect easy money here instead use their extra  funds the amount they can afford to lose to buy crypto of they like and keep it long term, instead of putting all in banks i wanted them to take part and invest here so in time they can differentiate which is more profitable and beneficial , the bank or crypto .

Bitcoin can reach another ATH time after time , the only concern is when this will happen.
 remember that in 2021 there are multiple times that bitcoin made its way to ATH and the recent is almost 69,000$ .

so in this case that you are aiming for 70k? if that amount will be broken then surely it will climb up to 75k and 80k .

and not far to reaching the dream of 100k.

For people who delay starting it, pasta is said to be late, but for people who start immediately, that person is not categorized as late, so start now so you don't regret it later.

In fact the first year you were acquainted with Bitcoin 17 & 19, basically it was a brilliant year you bought, the word is not too late, it is always said for those who want to be successful, especially crypto.

I think the current Bitcoin price is dropping, this is the right time for you to do something.

it is a dream for all investors nowadays, but apart from being confident, I think by being aware of the risks, it will make us less greedy. this is a market which will always have a bull and bearish season, once we realize it then whenever we are going to invest, we will have the patience to wait for the bullish season and wait for a new ath to form and sell it immediately

I think that it is never too late to start trading, as long as one is genuinely dedicated to learning and practising what they have learned. If you have the time and discipline to do so, you can do it at any age.

now is the right time to start investing manually or using a robot like ATG for those who lack trading knowledge, then a good choice is to use a trading robot to avoid losses now many people believe in trading robots to take profits.

I have always say it is never late to start anything . When ever you think is the best time just start with good zeal and full preparation  and readiness . Starting with a good dedication and being focus is what matters. Been equipped when Starting is the best well to start  , Starting without learning and having knowledge can be a waste of time.

If you wanted to trade then never enter when you are still has no knowledge because this is your money that we are talking about and you are the one risking this , I believe that using Bot is good but never let this to manipulate your system instead do it yourself mate.
I only uses Bot when time that i need to rest and i still having chances to win overnight so I let Bot to decide for a short time while I am sleeping or when i am very busy.
investing in crypto most specially in Bitcoin ? that there is never too late lol, because in time or another the increase will happen as long as it is a legit currency and not a shitpost .

If you want to start trading so consider the following factors

1. Learn what is the bitcoin price that moves
2. Pick a bitcoin trading style
3. decide whether to go long or short
4. set your limits
5. open and monitor your trade
6. close your position to take a profit

That's right, friends, if you don't know much about trading, don't ever try trading because you will most likely lose, so I suggest just putting your capital in the ATG robot because the possibility of losing is very minimal at ATG.

Well, all we can do is to put trust in our investment and has to believe that someday it will grow and make some profit. Because in the first place, only a few people had trusted Bitcoin and even take risk of it but they do and proved they are right doing such a decision.

Imagine, if we did an investment last year, we even make a double this time, and much more during the ATH. But things can be realize after we had fail and this become common  and many people strated blaming themselves for not knowing and trusting Bitcoin before.

I hope (OP) doesn't do anything reckless like before, by removing the Trezor which still contains 9ETH, it's really a pity. The past, let it pass and forget that there is still time to correct that mistake. I hope this time I can use patience and thoroughness and build trust that crypto is a very valuable asset so even if it finds itself in bad conditions, it will not throw it away.

it's never too late, anytime you can get into crypto. now is the right moment for you to enter because the market is bearish. investing some money into crypto would be a good choice. just compare with the price of previous years, bitcoin continues to experience an extraordinary increase. This decline will certainly be followed by an extraordinary increase. Starting now is the right choice and by making that choice you are one step ahead

actually I have also known bitcoin since 2017. But since the crash market, I started to think that bitcoin is a high risk investment and a small profit.  Earlier this year, I realized bitcoin is a very profitable investment.  It is never too late to invest in bitcoin, bitcoin and altcoin prices still have the potential to go up even higher. 

We do not know how much longer the cryptocurrency will develop and how long it will still exist after that. It is quite possible that there will be enough work in this market for our children and grandchildren. Therefore, it will not be too late to join it for at least several decades.

You just need to reverse the experience, the money that has been invested in bitcoin and other altcoins make it your deposit. And you will take it in the future, before investing make sure you have other money to meet your daily needs. Never sell at a loss, no matter how bitter your life, you must remain patient. The market will definitely recover.

One of the wisest advice that we must always note and hold is about:
"invest with free money, not money that will be used every day or for certain needs, and invest according to our abilities, abilities that we can afford to lose.
You are right that holding with patients is the key if we are holding Bitcoin so far, and not panic by selling them off once the price goes dropped. That is why when we are going to invest in something especially Bitcoin or certain altcoins, we must be sure that we are exactly ready with the risks. 

Dont make use of;

-Savings
-Emergency Funds
-Funds for Expenses

Dont risk out these amounts if you dont like to experience big problems with finances later on.Its not bad on having considerations on making
investment to make yourself financially free but you should be mindful on what are the things that you do need to risk out.
Dont go into that certain extent on where you do risks up everything because that would really be a suicide thing to do.
