Bitcoin Forum

In my opinion he is the inexperience expert unluckiest trader i have seen ever in my life. If i know more word like this then it is must be suitable for him. Now i am going to introduced someone if you guys know about him you life will get a satisfaction if you take a late entry in bitcoin.
A person name Nick Allen (https://twitter.com/NickAllen/status/1416484159397109763?s=20) tweeted in 25/10/2011 that he got safe his money that he didn't buy bitcoin before thar date because that day bitcoin price down to $2.70.
Can you imagine $2.70 and after 10 years today you guys know the price some days ago someone reply on him tweet that is Nick allen alive and Nick allen Replied he is alive but dead inside ;D

Can you imagine his feelings right now. I can imagine because i missed to buy eth at $9 price. And todays his that tweet screenshot is viral. Though after seeing that i visited his profile and saw he might be in stock market. But i couldn't find that tweet then i thought it might be edited. But i saw the same screenshot tweet from bitcoin account on twitter. And then Nick allen also reply on that tweet too. So after that i belived that tweet is real. But Nick allen delet that tweet. It might be possible or not.

Now i want to know your opinion guys about this topic. I hope you guys share your feelings too.

I can only partly imagine that kind of feelings and I'll tell you why.
There were plenty of opportunities in bitcoin. Ok, he missed one. Or two. Or three. But missing them all is something I cannot understand.
I could have bought good amounts at 200-250$ and I didn't. That's the train I've missed. But since then I've earned some more. Of course, I made other mistake too: I've sold now and then, or bought things for bitcoin.

If I look back, yeah, I probably could be kinda rich now if I wouldn't have made those mistakes. But dead inside? No. Life goes on and I hope that what I have and what I will gather will help me with an easier retirement in some more years.

I have put in bold what seems to me the most important of what you have said. I think the same. A lot of people didn't buy at $2, but then didn't buy at $20 because it seemed too expensive, and when it got to $200 the same thing. And at $2K and at $20K.

I could have bought more in the past too, but I focus on the present. Bitcoin still has a lot of life left in it, and a lot to go up. Instead of regretting what I can no longer change, I focus on acting today on what I can change.

Of course, if we look back at the opportunities that each of us had from the current positions of the distribution of cryptocurrency, its popularity and current prices, then of course, any of us can regret the missed opportunities that cryptocurrency gave us earlier.
Cryptocurrency is not only a completely new phenomenon for the financial world, but it actually contradicts the principles of circulation of all currencies of states, and therefore many of us did not believe that a digital currency not issued by states could gain a foothold in the current financial system and develop further successfully ..
Many would like to go back at least ten years ago, but, unfortunately, we do not have a time machine for this.

Correct solution, since it is missed, it cannot be changed. There are always people who say if they are given another chance, what will happen to them. I don't think we need to give us another chance. There are opportunities everywhere at the moment, so we don't have to worry about the facts.
In 2011, I did not understand Bitcoin. I have only started to contact and enter the market in recent years. I missed a lot of valuable currencies, and many factors prevented me from holding them for a long time. But this will be the rich experience I will accumulate in the future, and there will be various valuable and promising currencies in the future.

"Is this guy still alive"
"alive but dead inside"

than @bitcoin makes laught at him - his response

" :( "

Now its our time to make laught at him" I dont think we should.

Its easy to look back at people at laught their decisions. BTC in @2.7$ had marketcap around 20 mln $, easy to manipulate by random guy with 1 mln$, secured by few nerds PCs. Investment that day was super risky. Its easy to call someone "inexperience expert unluckiest trader i have seen ever in my life." when you take someone words after 10 years without knowledge how it was to be here 10 years ago.


Satoshi about BTC in dec 2010. In next year BTC did 100x pump from 30 cents to 30$. and dumped 90% right after.

Tell us your story. Where will BTC be in next 20-50 years.



We only know that he did not buy on 30$ pump and he is happy about that seeing BTC at 2.7$. We dont know anything about his future moves.

You didn't need to go back 10 years to find silly things like that. Last year we had the same situation with naive people who sold their bitcoin at $3000 just because they believed some FUD telling them price should dump more. Even worse they have been repeating it over the past 3 months selling in $30k range believing yet another similar FUD and in a couple of months from now when price is $150k they will be regretting today's actions.

Missing an opportunity once itself pains a lot. What he has missed will never let him unworried. During those days having such a knowledge about bitcoin itself a big thing, but he hasn't thought of its growth. With time surely he could've been watching the market. Atleast when the market seems to be growing he should've spend to buy a few. Lots and lots have got life changing experience out of bitcoin investment. Everyone used to miss opportunity, but used to get woken by the next opportunity. He has missed each and every opportunity that majority of the cryptocurrency users dream now. Even the recent time investors have made big out of bitcoin.

I remembered it was 2013 when I knew about Bitcoin, I saw it on laptop my parent bought for me at the time, it was an alternative to purchase the the games because they were all demo, and need purchase after paying it to certain level. People wouldn't believe I did not even yet knew at the time what Bitcoin was actually is until 2019 fourth quarter, I wish have known about bitcoin fully at the time. Most people only still know about Fiat at the time. But I think that kind of man that have known about Bitcoin but speaking bad of it all because of price drop should have gone further studying about Bitcoin, from $2, there are a lot of opportunities that many people missed, Bitcoin may not be volatile like before, but still a lot of bull run opportunities still will be, it is good to hold Bitcoin.

Most of us probably regret not investing in bitcoin more when we heard about it for the first time.
Then again, if he had bought bitcoin "on that mess" back in 2011, I doubt he would have had such strong hands to hold them to today's date. Many early investors sold out when bitcoin experienced its first major pump.

Poor guy,,, but yes he should know also that a lot of people missed opportunities he is not the only one. No shame to be wrong. And look at Elon even he admitted he was late to the game but he got in anyway. MicroStrategy got in also. So we can all still get in and wait for a new next cycle,,, no use being sad about the past and just get in now so you do not add more regret:)

We can't blame him to doubt since who on earth would provably know that bitcoin will pump in future, there are so many questionable things on bitcoin before and compare to know the adoption is so huge where this one is been notice by many investors globally. But we can learn a lesson from this post since we can make this a basis that sometimes doubting is not good and if we want to try something then maybe its best to put some amount of money on it and forget then wait for long years since maybe we can see another bitcoin like which could provably pump in future and possibly could bring us good profits.

Unlike someone who missed an opportunity and obviously never tried to fix the thing, how do you think someone who said something like this about Bitcoin, and has invested over $2 billion in it since last year, feels now?

I can only say that it is not worth crying for spilled milk, but it is important to learn something from your mistakes (and the mistakes of others), and apply that knowledge in the future. If we all knew what we know today, we would probably all be rich - but life creates very few rich and very many poor people.

The question is did he still invest on bitcoin after that or did he really ignore it? For sure it sucks, but that's life, we didn't know what will going to happen next. If he is a stock person guy then maybe he still make a lot of money, but compare it to bitcoin wherein he should be an early bagholder, definitely he could have been a millionaire in 2021. So another great lesson for us here, not to late to invest and then wait for your money to grow in the next five to ten years just by holding and protecting your wallet.

we are required in this life to continue to learn, learn from our own mistakes, and learn from the mistakes of others, to continue to improve ourselves so that we have deeper knowledge, because we humans certainly never escape from mistakes, so take advantage of it. every opportunity that exists, and believe in it and learn more so that we can benefit, and don't fall into the wrong hole, bitcoin has given us an opportunity, it's just us how to use the opportunity that bitcoin has given us ..

If Nick Allen have made the right decision or made use of the opportunity, now he might be enjoying like this person with his holdings. Fortunately he missed the opportunity and now feeling dead inside.

Got to watch a video in which a person shows his life through bitcoin.

Video Source (YouTube): Bitcoin Guy (https://imgur.com/a/vcxxs3C)

His tweet perfectly encapsulated what he is feeling at that time, he is really dead inside because he had doubts when bitcoin was still affordable and can be bought just like a candy bar. I would have the same feeling too if I had those words come out of my own mouth or in this case phone.

It was a normal person's expression when a decision saved him from a bad situation. I think he didn't just stop then with bitcoin. The sideway area at that time was pretty long until the end of 2011. Not that he didn't have other decisions after the tweet was posted.

In addition, it is very rare for people to actually pocket bitcoins since 2011 and sell them in 2021.

He didn't delete it but whoever is responsible for sharing that screenshot for the first time, intentionally edited the part that says "3d" to make it look like it was a recent tweet:

• Here you go: Link (https://twitter.com/AwyeeDeaterBob/status/1397953934120079362)

I feel sorry for him but if it makes him feel any better, I'm pretty sure he's not the only one with missed opportunities.

That's just hard man. When you're supposed to be one of the luckiest early Bitcoin adopter and you blown it away because you think it's a mess.
I haven't heard about Bitcoin until 2015, and finally have a small fraction in 2016. But that guy heard about and has the opportunity to buy on 2011. He could've atleast buy in 2012 or 2013 after learning how Bitcoin was gradually increasing during those times.
What a wasted opportunity, this was like thousands times better than putting a money in the bank with 2% annual interest lol. Imagine the difference in 10 years.

Probably this guy was just joking, because even though he didn't buy bitcoin at 2,70$ range, he must surely have bought it some time later, after bitcoin became more bullish. So far bitcoin has been very good for investors, because there is always a new opportunity for them. Many have already rejected one or few buying offers and still managed to start investing some time later for a cheap price.
However we don't know for how long bitcoin will keep offering opportunities like this to investors yet. Someday it will pump so intensily that no corrections will be able to push it down again. When this day comes it will be too late for new investors.

I think it's unnecessary for someone to be sorry because they didn't buy bitcoin soon, because even now that the price is $41000 it's still possible for people to buy bitcoin and make hodl for the next few years to have a profit of 2X or 3X, regretting the past will do nothing well and also who would have thought that today the price of bitcoin would be so high? maybe today the price of bitcoin was $3000? or who knows, maybe the governments had campaigned against bitcoin and with that today we would not be talking about bitcoin, a fact that should not be regretted because of the past

I had over 380 BTC pass through my hands from GPU mining, around the same time as this guy. Look at when I joined bitcointalk. >$23 million dollars at Bitcoin's peak. Worth a few $1k then. Here was my wallet address (https://explorer.bitcoin.com/btc/address/19CeQk8TgJGuZsebn4cdLBttW9C3vin2fZ).

I sold it all. I believed in Bitcoin, but thought the exponential storage requirements would be it's end. Outsmarted myself. Soft wallets, SegWit and cheap storage fixed that.

Do I regret that?

Oh hell yes.

Crypto is the future. It's still early. It's still possible to get wealthy from it. It historically increases by 3X every year. ...but the elites are noticing and starting to manipulate it...

I heavily doubt Bitcoin will be the winner, but it's still a winner now. Look to what McAffee said (https://www.newsbtc.com/news/bitcoin/john-mcafees-wildest-quotes-about-bitcoin-and-cryptocurrencies/) for the future winners.

The only thing that could stop the wealth train now would be regulation (https://www.coindesk.com/fundamentally-incompatible-how-the-proposed-crypto-tax-rules-miss-the-mark). I think it will only slow things down. We'll see what happens. Hopefully, there are still fully anonymous coins like Monero and non-KYC options when the dust settles.

I think almost every trader and holder has experienced at least some of this situation. Because Bitcoin has reached its current price through fluctuations over a period of time. There are very few people who bought Bitcoin at the beginning of its creation, have kept it to this day, or have been able to sell it at its highest price. However, depending on the situation, this regret is more in some cases and less in others. Generally, those who bought Bitcoin at the beginning of 2020 have made huge profits and the situation of those who have sold Bitcoin at this moment is understandable.

There is no point in making your life miserable because you missed opportunities. We can only perceive so much with our current understanding of the world. That is why we need to continuously develop ourselves and not 'settle' and default in our current knowledge.

He should be grateful that he is alive, not depressed because he didn't enter the market then. Money can come and go, but we don't get back our time nor its quality.

Is normal to make mistake, but we have to learn for the mistake we make. Every fall in Bitcoin price is an opportunity to buy, because it will surely bounce and rise to a higher price. But many people are afraid to buy when the market crashes, because they thinks the price will keep going down. Bitcoin have a bright future. It was trading at $2 in November 2011, but the price of bitcoin is currently at $41k.

Feeling sorry for him,,, I believe many people have missed it,,, I also missed it. >:(
To be honest, I didn't understand Bitcoin at first, because many media published negative news that Bitcoin is a tulip. I didn't think about it myself. My friend made money and told me that I knew the original Bitcoin. Bitcoin is real. Then I started to learn Bitcoin knowledge slowly, regretting that I didn't know and learn encryption knowledge in advance. According to media reports, Bitcoin has now proven itself with actual conditions. We must find experience from failure and believe that Bitcoin is very important.

Wow, really sad. I missed some chance too back in 2014 when a colleague introduced Bitcoin to me, I would have been able to buy a good amount then but wasn't really interested until 2017. This is a continuous situation for some people just read some posts on this forum and you will see people tell you that when Bitcoin fell back to $30k even below that it was still too expensive that they believe it will still go down and wakes up to see Bitcoin now in $40k+ again and might not be able to buy-in. The mistake he made then shouldn't be made now because Bitcoin is more widely known and popular and those that don't see that still are not meant to be in the cryptocurrency space because as someone has already mentioned, there is no way you shouldn't have some Bitcoin in your portfolio. 

I can feel the man though i did not have a chance buying or even learning bitcoin those days yet i felt the same thing when i sadly denied buying when this coin introduced to me few years ago before entering this forum.
when bitcoin still valuing 3 digits and come to buy while bitcoin is almost 5 digits in value.
but in him we can still feel the admission of being guilty for not making it seriously and deny and even criticized bitcoin that moment.
we can easily say that because we are not on his feet, but imagine denying when the price is 17 dollars and look at the value now?

I have seen many of these people in my life! A lot of them are so butt hurt over their decision not to buy ..that they actually turned into Bitcoin haters! Now, they are telling people how Bitcoin is a "Ponzi Scheme" and that it is just a question of time before it burst.  ::)

I will rather take a chance in life, than having to regret not doing it for the rest of my life.  - Risk can be managed... you do not have to invest 100% into a high risk investment, because every financial portfolio has to be balanced. (A combination of High/Medium/low risk investments)  ;D

I will rather burn out, than fade away! Go for it.......  ;)

People who abandon bitcoin from the first will regret seeing how high the bitcoin price is now and wish to turn the time back to buy bitcoin. That will also be what we will do so we can buy bitcoin as many as we can. But unfortunately, that is already passed and we can not go back to the past but we can just buy bitcoin at a price now or waiting for the lower price.

Not just bitcoin, but it happens to ethereum. One of my friends buy ethereum at the lowest price below $15 but unfortunately, he lost his wallet containing 42 ethereum. He is very upset until now and wishes he can find a way to search for his wallet and sell the ethereum on that wallet. Well, we can only memorize what is happening in the past but we still have time and the opportunity to get more bitcoin or the other coins.

He has totally missed that golden opportunity before but that was ten years ago, who knows that guy was already holding bitcoin today? because this is not the first time bitcoin was showing its potentials. In 2017, Bitcoin became popular elsewhere since that was the first time the bitcoin price has reached $20,000 Anyway, I believe that there are many people like Nick Allen until now, so let them regret it. 

I feel sorry for him, quite similar to the way i feel sorry for myself for not having educated myself on Bitcoin either. I was probably living a well with absolutely no knowledge of the bitcoin boom and xenophobic about everything there was to know about it.

but it's never too late to learn and pursue with passion that bitcoin is very good for investment and very profitable to do all transactions related to bitcoin. sometimes it's better to be late but can learn better than to rush and not know very well about bitcoin. hopefully this will continue to open the eyes to anyone that bitcoin is very good to know and get to know because it can have a good effect if properly practiced.

Its funny to think that they literally repentant coz of the results of bitcoin at the moment.,well i know there's a bunch of people who missed that opportunity from bitcoin but at the same time alot of people are happy what they get from it as well. As the matter of fact coz of bitcoin there's some of investors who became millioner.. Maybe it's not for us, ;D so better luck next time while there's still a chance just keep believing it's proven and tested so we should takecit seriously IMO.

Seeing bitcoin now many people are sorry like him, if he was still alive of course he would be depressed and die soon, this is an important lesson that what we think is bad now can turn out to be totally changed in the future and start to always think positively about many things.

It's not just him but many others who didn't realise what bitcoin will be worth in coming seven to eight years and just sold their coins at $3-$5 only.There have been many such cases and now they all be dead inside seeing the prices now.It is infact matter of time and your vision and hodling skills which makes you rich over those period.Take the case of two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins or german programmer losing hard drive containing more than 7k btc worth millions today.


There are many who still regrets selling very early or too late to be on the boat but still they stand a chance in future if they take investment decision once again.
