The value of bitcoin dropped unexpectedly this year from $30,215 to $20,385 within a few days from June 9th to June 17th according to coinmarketcap,

A quick question for anyone here who purchased bitcoins say on June 9th just before the unexpected dip began? Do you regret your decisions and are you confident that bitcoins will bounce back?

I am quite confident a price recovery will come in mid-long term, if I would have bought some random sh*tcoin I would of course be worried about my investment, since those tend to die after a significant bump. But since we are talking about Bitcoin, I dont think my positions are lost forever.

Bitcoin is the major of cryptocurrencies, one of the vastly known, secure and ever expanding. In the mean time, this price ranges are ideal to add some satoshis to the bag, if possible.

Do I regret buying before the dip? No not at all. Would I regret buying after the dip? Definitely. Buy the dip and hodl. Thats all the strategy I need. In fact, I would prefer not to even think about the "end" of the dip and just buy whenever I see such massive Bitcoin discounts. Because in reality, thats what they are. Discounts. And once you start thinking of them that way, you will find yourself buying at every dip.

Don't fool yourself into "waiting for the perfect opportunity". 1 BTC = 1 BTC

I didn't regret buying.. I paid attention to my chart and knew when to sell..

The trend began from may but it wasn't clear enough where the market direction was pointing to. From the chart we see may 9th till june 10th was a strong indecision (range market), price revolved from $28k to $32k. From that point i was waiting for a pin bar because prior to this we had series of lower highs.

from june 11th a major pin bar formed at a resistance zone which pushed the price below $30k. This pin bar was accompanied by a long bear candle which pushed the price even further.

I expected price to fall this far and currently we are facing another indecision in the market (range market) and if there is no correction after this trend price will still fall further.

Once you default into the mode of thinking that:
1) You don't have a crystal ball.
2) That means you can't predict the tops and bottoms in a market with so many market participants with so many different interests
- You will realize that the market only offers opportunities. If you purchased BTC at $30k, instead of $20k it might be not ideal, but you understand that you have no control on that. However it is better to purchase an asset that you can consider cheap at higher price than to not purchase it at all.

Bitcoin going dip is not something someone like investors can regret of because bitcoin never remain constant and any investor can purchase bitcoins now the price is in low state and hold until it rise because if you don't know that theirs no regrets in cryptocurrency investment no now, because bitcoin like market that fall and rise and the dip is like the worst part of bitcoin which people use and hate bitcoin investment

Basically I don't really care about this but indeed I will only convey what I want to say about my ignorance :D
The real regret is definitely there because of course there is some hope to buy lower than that but this didn't really have any impact on me because what I bought was something good enough for my portfolio.
As for the current decline, it is not very suitable to be regretted and I would rather say this is a blessing for me to add more and more to my assets.

from what you observe from the way Bitcoin price is moving now do you think that Bitcoin price will fall again before it will stand to be moving high. I'm still watching the market because it was on 21k and now it has returned to 20k is any possibility that Bitcoin price will go back to 17k and we predict that it will fall again before it rise again. If you details you can explain more about how it going to rise and fall within this month of July or we should expect downfall of Bitcoin

We are in another indecision in the market. i will not categorically tell if prices will fall further but if price continues to retest the support zone and another pin bar or a hanging man candle forms near the resistance i fear prices might fall further. But with the current pin bar formed and if prices gets to the support zone and keeps consolidating there and breaks through below the support line expect another massive sell

Really not worried about the dip and haven't really been since the last cycle. I am not saying that it will go back up, because it might not, but I personally want to see this experiment go the distance and these up's and down's don't really make much difference in the grand scheme of things.

All market movements are unexpected and the only certainty is volatility.
Anyone who purchases bitcoins at a certain time, should have already understood that the market can always go below their entry level, it could take 8 days or months. Such fluctuations shouldn't bother you much, especially as a long term holder.

In 5, 10 or 20 years, it would matter little, if you bought in at $30k or $20k.

A quick counter question. Was this the first unexpected dip you experienced in crypto? Do you think people who bought, for example, Mar 11, 2020 at $7,900 are regretting their decision now, considering the fact that on Mar 12, 2020 the price dropped to $4,900?

There is no one size fits all approach to bitcoin. If you expect to get rich overnight, then probably bitcoin is not for you. If you are a day trader, then you can regret about bad timing, but you need to be prepared for that. However, if you plan to invest long-term, then such dips do not make too much of a difference. The market behaves in waves, with surges and slumps. We are just in the latter part of the current wave.

I don't mind not buying the dip. No one can predict dips nor peaks, so I just keep byuing whenever I can. I don't even look to the price. It doesn't matter, I'll buy at any price. The point is stacking and hodling!

This can only be regretted by those who do not have a long-term vision. If you buy to hold for a couple of cycles you don't care, and if you do DCA the same, or any of its variants, because very few people have a big lump sum and buy only once. The normal thing is to make several purchases, and as you are not going to hit the bottom, unless it is by chance, it doesn't matter if you bought at $30k or $20, the point is to accumulate.

I made a thread and many posts in WO about how Bitcoin is going to retest the 200 Weekly Moving Average when the price was around $44k.
I bought 50% at $21.5k and now I am DCAing on my way towards the end of the year to get a good average all over.

I think that's the best plan. If you didn't see this dip incoming, you need to understand Bitcoin technically a bit more.
Supply vs Demand > Fundamentals.

Price recovery happens for sure. The problem for now is the timeline. We don't know when the price will increase to recover the loss happened out of unexpected market crash. Same as this it has hapein the past and recovery have taken place. As we're in a complete bear market, this time it'll take time. Most of the time once an user experience such a situation and recovers making a profit in the long term or short term, he starts to have more trust over the market.

You are right I regret it a lot when I bought bitcoin at $420 and it dropped down after I bought back in 2015. I lost a lot of money when my $420 worth bitcoins went updown to $21000 per coin in 2022. My huge loss was +4900%. I cry every night for losing so much money LOL.

In a couple of years from now when price is $400,000 I will regret again for buying bitcoin at $30,000+ and cry again for "losing" +1200% :D

Nope, I don't regret it one bit as even if you bought BItcoin at ~30k (which I did by the way) its still more than 50% lower from the all time high so I would say its a still good buy. Bitcoin at ~20k is of course even a better buy, but there if I learned anything when it comes to buying Bitcoin, its that there is no point trying to buy at the bottom. Instead, its much better to use DCA (and that's exactly what I am doing) so you avoid regretting going all in and then you see price going down much further.

Just to add, I wouldn't regret even if I bought Bitcoin at ~67k as all that means is that I would have to wait a little bit longer to be in profit.

No regrets at all since I'm not looking at the short term price target rather the future price of Bitcoin when it's going to be worth more and more and become scarcier and higher in price, therefore I'm even looking forward to getting more cheaper Bitcoin even as I have gotten some Bitcoin around $20k. I love market crash or dips because I've got to understand that it's an opportunity for me to get cheaper Bitcoin so far I have other streams of income.

I did not regret buying before the dip, after or during dip. I've seen how Bitcoin prices went up and down. I am sure that from every purchase I would gain profit and all I have to do is wait or do other stuff to make time to fly faster. If a person is able to feel market mood, then every purchase before dip he can turn into profit through reselling.

I dont regret it. Instead I might regret not buying when the price is below $30k then after few years the price skyrocket again at 6 digits. I dont want to repeat the same mistakes that I did few years back wherein I didnt buy while the price is quite cheap then bullrun happened year 2017. I feel so much regrets.

So now im making sure to accumulate and hold for long term. Regardless of the outcome I will gladly accept it because its my choice to invest and trust Bitcoin.

I bought Bitcoins when the price was at 40k usd and guess what I am still confident that Bitcoins will give me profit.
Before investing in Bitcoins, I have known it’s capabilities. I don’t doubt on Bitcoins.
And yes to your questions, I don’t regret buying Bitcoins. Instead whenever possible and whenever i have some money, I buy the Bitcoins irrespective of what price it’s on.
I have seen previous what Bitcoins have done and that’s why I bought the Bitcoins for long term.
These bear market will eventually go, so no need to panic and take unnecessary tension according to me.

Actually, this is not a new thing when it comes to Bitcoin, because we all know the price of Bitcoin has always been on the fluctuating nature ever since it came into existence,  this recent fall in it's price from $30,000 to $20,000 was just 35% decrease in it's price, which is not even up to what have happened in the past, because we can remember back then in March 2021, something of this nature occurred whereby the price of Bitcoin fell from $60,000 to $30,000 in a matter of fews, which was over 50%, but irrespective of all odds it's price bounced back to stability in few months. But although, am very sure those who bought before the dip in price will actually feel bad and wished they had waited a few days, but for the fact that it has been done, they just have to accept it that way, because thats the spirit of Bitcoin. its not an investment for the weak of mind, but an investment of bravery, time and patience

Buying the dip is the best opportunity in this crypto market and it should not be regretful for its part of life cycle that every price will surely come back up soon. Patience is needed while market is in current situation right now. For sure to those people who bought at $30k, they know what they are into and HODL is the key of success for they know bitcoin will rise up no matter up.

Well, if I intend to trade it short term, I might regret it a bit but if I will hold it for the long term, I would never think of regretting it as bitcoin is still cheap since it's lower than its ATH. Based on its history, it will always bounce back and will create a new ATH, so what we have to do now is stay patient and take advantage of the cheap price as it does not happen all the time, who knows, it might be the lowest dip this year.

I have never regretted my decision to buy bitcoin at any price because I believe the price of bitcoin will increase very high. And if the bitcoin price drops again after I buy, I will buy it again because it is a discount. So why regret it if we can later get big profits after the price starts rallying again.

So before the price increases again and you are too late to buy it, that's when you will regret buying late or not doing anything.

how many times this needs to be answered? for my years of being here there are so many thread that asks the same thing in everytime there is same happening like now, when price drops here and increase there .
maybe for me ? every time I investing is also a part of me accept that there will be some dumping to come or at least will increase more chances .

Happened to me multiple of times already. There are times that you just cannot predict the movement of bitcoin. So here is what I learned from those experiences.

1. If you hold long enough, even if you bought it on top, there will be an opportunity that you can recover your funds. In my experience, Bitcoin has a cycle and each time, it records a new all time high. You just have to wait for that moment.

2. You can always do cost averaging. It means, you buy more bitcoin when it dips so the average cost of your bitcoin is lower than the highest price you bought. It also means more risk since you are putting in more money but it is worth it if you can hodl. 

OP. Your question is very stupid. Any person is cunning enough to say that he does not regret it, simply because he wants to be consistent. Yes, of course, bitcoin has volatility, and we can't guess the best price. But anyone who understands the value of bitcoin also understands that at some point it can be a good plus. And, of course, the cheaper he buys, the more pluses he will receive.

I only bought a small amount of Bitcoins in May above 30,000 USD and even though the value is much lower now I don't feel bad about it. For me bitcoins are a long term investment and I try to be less worried about short term price fluctuations. My problem is that I don't have much spare money this year to invest. So there is not really any opportunity to buy the dip anyway. Every month I try to buy atleast a small amount bitcoin, at the end of June I bought close to 19,000 USD. Nobody knows when the bear market will be over, but if we think long term it shouldn't affect us that much. Once bitcoin reaches a new ATH it's not so important at what level did we buy.

It only took a week for the price to decrease that much and if you are buying bitcoins to gain some decent amount of income in just a short time, then you are in trouble because things like this can happen too often, especially after the bitcoins bull run where most of the people are taking advantage to sell their bitcoins in order to safety their gain. For the one who bought when the price was above $30k, they need to be patient and practice perseverance on not to sell their coins this early rather they switch to the motivation where they gonna hold their bitcoins for the long term instead.

Not seeing any regret for those who bought at $20k or even at $30k.

Still a win win isn't it? the last all time high is $69k if I'm not mistaken, so that is a huge discount price already. Regrets is not buying this bear market, and then you FOMO buys at a all time high.

Missing the chance to buy the dip is the biggest regret than just what you have said. The market drops inevitably, you can't see it before you buy but it guess what, even if I buy Bitcoin at $21,000 then it went down by tomorrow to $19,000 there is nothing I have to worry about. The market will just then move up again, it will reach back $21,000 or more. That is why we should not let our emotions affect our decision and much more we become affected to the market changes as this certainly happens from time to time without telling us.

OP should remember that there were those who bought at $60,000 also. So, if those who bought at $30,000 feel any sense of regret; what do they have those who bought above them do? My only regret if I bought at those points I mentioned above wouldn't be that of panic but that of "I could've got more sats with the same amount if I had waited some more" kind of feeling. To state it plainly, no one should be remorseful at whatever level they're buying in. In the nearest future we all will realize that these selling/buying points now are even far too cheap.

I didn't purchased them in the date you mentioned, but I had a similar situation in 2018. There were no regrets, but man, it was very painful to hold it in the red. Looking back now, I see it as a kind of "initiation" that everyone have to face at some point. Once it passes, you will collect the rewards in the next cycle.

The best way to hold is to not follow it. But it is hard when you are a beginner, you will be thinking about bitcoin everytime.

Bitcoin will always grow, regardless if you buy it before the dip or just buy in the dip. So there's no need to regret, as long as you have your long term investment plan, you will never be at loss. However, if you prefer to get more discounts and buy more bitcoin, then do DCA during the dip. That will be  more profitable. But always know as long as you chose to invest in bitcoin and maximize your portfolio through hodling it, then there will be huge profits waiting ahead, just be more patient while you're still in the process.

There is no time to regret it, Bitcoin is still at its lower price, so instead of regretting anything, I think it is more sensible to work harder to get more funds in buying more BTC while it is crashing.  DCA is always the answer to those who buy at a higher price.  This way we are able to lower our average buy price. 

When an investor or trader is DCA-ing he is confident the Bitcoin will bounce back.

Bitcoin has experienced a drastic decline not only this year, but several times Bitcoin has experienced a deep decline. Indeed, what is most
memorable is the bearish trend incident in 2018, when a lot of people panicked because they bought Bitcoin before the dip. But right now
only newbies are panicking and selling Bitcoins at low prices, so indeed for experienced people, buying before the dip is not something to regret.
Because they know Bitcoin will surely recover soon, but in contrast to the newbie who will definitely have feelings of regret. Even though the thing
that will definitely happen is where we will buy before the dip, because the crypto market is very volatile and it is difficult to predict Bitcoin
price movements. So actually there is no problem buying before the dip and we don't need to regret it, as long as we can be patient and wait for
Bitcoin to recover again, then we can still make a profit.

Bitcoin is the best asset in the crypto market, so regardless if you bought it at its high value, it will always bring profits in the long run. Though the market is not impressive to look at with this bearish market, but the fact that you accumulate a lot of bitcoin in your portfolio, that gives you much advantage to be in a high position when the market gradually turns bullish. With the bear market on hand, it will be the best entry to start investing in the crypto market.

Every satoshi stacked will lead to profits  8)

The biggest problem and challenge that bitcoin holders have to face is that whenever the bear market hit us ... they are tend to give up seeing their portofolio get dropped too much , while actually a bear market is part of the sign that the price would sky high even more.

They have not experienced how to go from the bottom to the top at the bery short time after through the bearish misery for months!

Everyone who bought before the dip regrets because no one like to see how the value of their bought assets dip and for sure they regret about buying so early since they could actually buy when go more lower. Now they bag hold and unsure on when the price pump again and its a huge pressure to see the market goes decline daily especially when bear market occurs.

Regretting or not, there's nothing you can do yet no one can turn back the time and whats done is done.Yes, its stressful and have those kind of regrets if you should have wait a little bit longer or further
then you might able to get in on that low price point but well its already late but doesnt mean its over yet you could always DCA and as long you dont sell on loss then those would be still counted
or does always have the chance for break even or profiting considering the potential of bitcoin then we do know that it is really worth on holding for long term
buy when you do see the price is considerable on getting in or buying cheap.Dont make yourself do have the habit on looking back whenever you do miss out bottoms.

Initially everyone will be disappointed and regret buying before the dip, but with time, we will all get used to buying before the dip.
It is very difficult indeed to be able to buy Bitcoin at the lowest price, because in reality it is very difficult to determine the lowest price of Bitcoin.
In the end, if we have been in the crypto world for a long time, we slowly begin to realize that there is no need to regret buying Bitcoin before the dip.
Because Bitcoin will always recover no matter how deep the price falls. So as long as we can be patient holding Bitcoin until the bull market comes,
everything will be fine and we can still make profit from Bitcoin. So if someone buys Bitcoin at $30k, or even I'm sure many also buy Bitcoin at a price of
$ 60k. But we don't regret and decide to sell Bitcoin at a low price, because as long as we haven't sold the Bitcoin that we have as deep as the Bitcoin
price goes down, we haven't actually lost. So stay patient with the current bear market situation, we just need to hold Bitcoin until the market recovers.

I think it's not really about the price as much as it is about the mindset. Someone who bought at 60k could feel regret if they never bought again later on, or even sold. But someone who bought at 60k, and bought a lot from lower levels as well, would feel that they averaged it down and they would feel comfortable about it.

Someone who bought at 30k, and did not make any new purchases, will feel regret for sure, but someone who bought there and then bought some more here would not feel the same. So long story short, if you know how DCA works then you would not feel any regret no matter what, but if you do not use that method then you would be pretty upset.

We shouldn't jettison the fact that some may have bought with all the available cash on them, thinking that would be a point of reversal. If it happens that way, it won't even help their case anymore that they want to get in on DCA. All they can muster at such a situation will be to sit on the sideline and rue their early entry. You've to realize that at any point one makes a buy, one is convinced within oneself that it's a right time to go in. We only get to know from hindsight that we got in too early. The point I'm labouring to make here is that those who don't embark on DCA won't necessarily be because they don't intend to but  may be because they're cash-strapped.

That's true, if people are fixated on the fact that they bought at one price, and that price is bad, then they are never going to recover from that. There are traders who makes mistakes but then recover from it by doing a better action and maybe they are now in lower loss, or maybe they are easier to recover from etc etc, but they did something.

Because, any great trader would know that, it is impossible to be 100% right, but if you find a way to get better, if you find a way to make a trade that will make your initial trade easier to recover from, then you do not have to worry. Most people are like what you said, they make one bad move, and they think that's the end of the world.

in other way around it is very obvious that traders to expect every time to be in advantages way of cryptocurrency most especially in terms of market trading, but not all of them believe that they can lost in market but according to the rules of Reading it shows that reading market structure is like risk such as profit and loss. But it's obvious market can go wrong when you do expect it and it's the tradition of trading.

Surely as an investor it's simply too early to tell if you regret buying the dip, if you did so in order to invest on a multi-year time-frame, likely 4-year based on Bitcoin's previous cycles. As a trader, then you probably should already be removed from your position if not already had a stop loss triggered given price fell lower than $20K as well as moved back above this level. Or at least have a tight stop loss right now.

I'd like to think most people have been buying the dip in order to hold for the long-term, but only time will tell. Sometimes these dead cat bounces come from traders rather than investors.

Well, I can understand the nature of the market, and missing the right time to buy is somewhat regretting but yes we know the market is unpredictable in the first that is why we still need to accept it. But for sure, that was not the last drop that ever happens, we can still catch the next dip and buy. That was really how the market works, you can be all the time lucky, but sometimes we miss opportunities.

This is the reason why it is very important to analyze the market and spending more time will help us on what we gonna do next.

Somehow I do, but little did I know that bitcoin would go this low. I had completely forgotten about the bitcoin winter option and thought that I was buying at the lowest price I could have. But somehow, I am a little worried about how low it will go. I have started to have doubts now.

The most expensive price I have ever bought is around $ 55k, of course I'm sorry for not buying when the price of Dip is like what is happening now, maybe I'm sorry 2 times because I missed selling Bitcoin when the price was more than $ 69k, but this was an important lesson that Sometimes we have to sell immediately when profit.

Bitcoin is not easy to predict, even the experts are not always right, this is what we must know because the ups and downs of bitcoin occur from several factors.
and I mean, the decline and the rise in the price of bitcoin and the lows and highs no one knows how much and how long it will last. And as long as you buy below the previous ATH, don't regret it because it has happened and will be a lesson, and what you have to know is that bitcoin is for the long term and also in the future you will not know what the price will be and its value will definitely exceed the previous ATH, the most important thing is to be patient and believe.

I will not regret at all, on the contrary, the people who did not buy are the ones who will regret it later, I am confident that the markets will go back up again, it may take some time to go up, but it is certain that this will happen, I am not talking here about technical analyzes, but I am speaking from one fixed fact only, Bitcoin It has one long-term bullish trend and this rule will not change no matter how many falls and no matter how long it takes, we have tested this condition many times before so I do not and will not regret it.

I regret that I didn't buy when the bitcoin price was 18k, at that time I was planning to buy around $700, but I canceled and switched to buying altcoins, if I bought it of course I would have profited more than $200 and I think this is a big profit, but with this it makes we must always be optimistic about bitcoin.

It must be very uncomfortable to have a 50% deposit reduction now. So I am more than sure that almost all those who bought bitcoin before the collapse are regretting their purchases. It's elementary mentally pressure, because you could buy a lot more coins now. And now you have to wait for who knows how long to make a profit.

I do feel a little sorry. But considering I'm buying bitcoin for the long term, then I have no regrets because I have confidence that bitcoin will surpass ATH in the next bull market. although maybe not this year.

but there is something that makes me very sorry, namely When bitcoin reached $ 17,000USD but at that time I did not have time to place an order to buy it. so I missed a bit of that great opportunity. and that's my regret.

Regret on taking early decision is normal since no one want to lose their money on bad trades but if they are experience trader for sure they can easily move on and learn from those mistake. Although we cannot predict the future but if we didn't sell what we bought on supposed to be dip for sure this will not a total loss to us because we can still recover the value once bitcoin price will recover again.

It really feels regretting at first but I've to feel better now as I already accept that this really comes. We can't direct the market where it goes and probably commences not to dump after we buy. But the situation comes mostly in opposite direction and usually, we got mess especially if we don't undergo into market research. This is a very common and the usual thing that happened with newbies, and that is why they mostly complain about their losses which in fact it was their fault.

It is very important for us to give focus on the market chart before buying and tried to listen to other's opinions in order to avoid missing out.

We never know whether the current price has dipped or not, if we compare it with ATH that has happened of course we have already gotten a discount of more than 70%, and this fact makes me have to buy bitcoin immediately before it skyrockets again.

Bitcoin is not going to skyrocket sny Time soon because the bearish market is still having long strong effect this time. This is nice time ro buy Bitcoin because we should expect it increment from the year next upper not now Bitcoin still going down couple with the brother Ethereum and othe associates, for me i will buy Bitcoin when the price reached below ten thousand dollars and thirteen thousand but i know that price will take time before it will reach such level because of how people is bumping the market to come up, when you observe cryptocurrency you see that many people is buying because of profit of bullish market

This is really a test of patience for everyone who had been dealing on this market and its true that this isnt something that we do expect that movements will really be on fast pace which some people really

been expecting or anticipating.Whenever you do make out some buy decisions and the price did drop even more then  the feeling of regret and disappointment is really there but if you are really get used to
this market volatility then these movements wont really be an issue for you.

Buy and dont sell on panic then you wont lose something.Its a matter of self discipline and control.

That is why we don't have to rush to buy now that we don't know what is going to happen next we just based on the prediction of people. And people who analyse cryptocurrency so that is why so many of us are afraid to buy cryptocurrency but I know that this period is the time to buy more cryptocurrencies and hold for long time but nobody knows if the price will still increase or going down More. I think this is fear of people entering the market with a big amount of money

Yeah, it's just normal to feel regret of what you thought to be the dip but no one ever expected that dip would go deeper and this is what the risk we should have to accept when in crypto market. Everything will move unexpectedly due to some factors that's why you do what you gotta do to minimize the risk. And if you are planning for a long term investment then you shouldn't worry about it you still have a lot of plenty of time.

But have you Bought any amount since the price drops to 20k or bellow ? because you said that wanted to Buy immediately before the price skyrocket so best to do it right now or feel sorry soon.

Bitcoin continues to change movement so by any chances this will create another record either to lower or upper  , but the best thing is at least we are ready and willing to take the risk of waiting .

As of now, I am still holding bitcoin in my portfolio and I have not sold any coins in my portfolio since last year, although now my portfolio has lost quite a bit compared to 2021. As for my belief and dare to say, I believe that bitcoin will rise again in the future and can't see any reason to give up this market again. There's only one problem: we don't know when the bitcoins will return but I can wait, this investment doesn't affect my daily life.

Bought at 26k with max of my capital as I didn't expect it will go this low but it never crossed my mind to feel regret.
That's the perk of being old in the cryptocurrency industry, you don't panic and you trust the process.
Bitcoin already showed how volatile it could be especially at going forward. It never went back to $300 for a long time so time will tell when we can reap the rewards even if you bought at a higher price than now.
Patience had always been the key.

I agree, you will always have situation where you bought at a suboptimal price.

I also bought at $28k or so. Still a great price but it will be a few months before it hits a profit.
Been DCA'ing the low to bring down the average buy in....

As you say.... trust the process... 8)

What you have done is correct, indeed we should not doubt the future of Bitcoin. Because based on the history of Bitcoin movement, we can know
Bitcoin can always recover every time it experiences a dump. Likewise, now, Bitcoin has fallen quite far, and there is even a possibility that
the price of Bitcoin will still fall even lower. But we don't panic and worry, how deep the Bitcoin price goes down, one day it will definitely go up again.
So never sell the Bitcoins that we have when the price drops, we have to be patient holding Bitcoins until we can get back to prices above $60k again.
I even bought Bitcoin gradually, which is that every time the Bitcoin price drops I will buy again, because I really believe Bitcoin will recover again.
This means that if we have large amounts of Bitcoin, then the profit that we will generate will certainly be very large. Therefore for me I don't regret
buying Bitcoin before the dip, like I said I believe Bitcoin will recover again, so why regret it.

I really regretted buying when the price was that high and I even forgot to sell when the price was still above $50k.
So now I can no longer take the slightest profit even I have to spend other capital to buy back bitcoin whose price has decreased greatly as it is today and I can only be patient to wait for my capital back so I can buy bitcoin.

Regrets are the usual feeling when we got wrong. Of course, never to see someone is happy when the prices dump after buying. This is the reason for entering the market bull market especially when we are already in the ATH, which is certainly not a perfect time to buy. Unfortunately, still, we can see a lot of people doing this because they neglect to anticipate the possible dumps rather than thinking it rallies more. This tells us that not all the time we are bullish, we sometimes reconsider the market situation and possible price corrections.

Bitcoin will not recover anytime soon, but waiting for 10k-13k is not a price I believe will be achievable. Bitcoin would be worth a very low price if it were to happen.  I also think bitcoin will still drop and my target is 15k but I also start buying when bitcoin price hits 19k because I think market is very unpredictable it wont be what we think and I don't want to regret if it goes back up instead of going down. I bought at $19k and will keep buying if bitcoin falls below $17k.

If you look at the current price of course I regret because the last time I bought was around $34k, but the good thing is today the price is up more than 7% and I'm optimistic that the market will recover soon.

That's good for you because I don't think many people can be like you. After all, they will sell their bitcoins immediately, especially if they can't control themselves when they see the price drop.
The best strategy is to hold bitcoins since last year and only sell them at the peak price. Still, it must be accompanied by good self-control too because otherwise, we will surely panic to see price fluctuations that continue to fluctuate.
I also believe bitcoin will rise again in the future and currently, I am also still trying to collect more bitcoins before the price increases.
Hopefully, next year, the bitcoin price trend can change so we can sell bitcoin at the next price peak.

It seems to me that following the opinion of others for your own profit can be a fatal mistake in investing. For example, many just listened to others talking about the bottom at 30k and ended up splitting the deposit twice. You have to rely on your own experience and not someone else's. Or think about the fact that it may be better not to risk money.

None if us gets to know if that is already the dip or not, so whether we regret it or not, I think we can’t do anything about it. What makes us profitable is that if we could start making a purchase when the price is very cheap, then that creates more advantage on us. After all, we don’t hold anything in crypto as it’s always mysterious as it is, but if we could make the best entry and buy the right coins at its cheapest prices possible, then that will bring huge profits for us in the future.

Do people regret buying BTC in 2018 when the price went like a ski jump several times in a row, seems like the buy matters less then the sell.     I would always advise against over allocation to BTC, some people have spent their money for bills while expecting some quick return like its a lottery ticket.
   The reason price retracts so much is the buyers have been unrealistic to some extent, BTC remains very much the same as it was last year or the years before that but if your actual desire was for Dollars then yea you done screwed up some.   Dollar has risen, thats external factors dont look at BTC for the blame really; being realistic is more often profitable imo
    Just be moderate in your aspirations, very surprising thing to BTC is it takes time for a good trend easily a year or more so patience required dont use hot money or borrowed money just little bits - its in the name even :)

Bitcoin buying and selling is something that we have to do very well, by knowing the elementary conduct of it before buying and selling of bitcoin. Theirs what i understand by investing more in the dip time, investment of cryptocurrency bring benefit and profit when you know the exact time and exact size it starts falling. Why people buy when Bitcoin is in the state of falling is because of they want to make profit during the time of bullish market

^ I am holding from my earnings here and buying also at the price of $18K range.
I did not regret it because I saw now my little earnings and I know the more time I hold it the more profit will come and I think I am in the right decision.
BTC will bounce back at the end of the day and this was proven how many times, probably not today but for sure in the future like after the next halving there will be massive growth of BTC. You have been given a chance to invest at the lowest price but you waste it because you did not believe in BTC. I know a lot of people will talk soon more about BTC when it will reach in the next ATH.

I wouldn't regret if i bought before the dip. I was able to buy, i bought. That's it. Even if the price drops further, I wouldn't regret, because I would still be holding the same number of coins. In fact no one should regret.  As long as they haven't sold anything, they aren't losing anything. Only those who sell should be the one regretting.

So those who bought before the dip, instead of regretting, invest more to maximize your profit!

Anyone who bought at higher will really regret what they did but if you know its historical price cycles, bitcoin always manage to go back up again after some years from a huge correction. What we can do is either sold it and buy at a lower price or hold it until the next bull run. You will also regret in the future if you will ignore buying now because this could be the last chance to see bitcoin at its current price.

I do regret a little but came back to my composure and bought again even when the price starts to climb and that brings me motivation to accumulate more nowadays.
I know that there is something big to come and I know that the trend will change eventually so i completely understand what is the market nowadays.

No need to regret it because it was your best buy, I was also in the $30k buy and kept going down but I'm still holding on even though it's gone down, but I'm glad I'm already at $19k so I bought again so what I collect the bitcoins I bought I'm pretty sure about the upward trend, but it's a little bit patient to have to wait for it.
We certainly expect something big but it looks realistic later with expectations like 2021.

When it comes to buying bitcoin when it still has so much room for adoption cannot ever be a mistake, even those which bought at 69k could eventually get profits if they hold their coins until 2024, and if they were willing to buy bitcoin now they could get profits even earlier than that as the price of their coins will drop if they did that, so anyone that is sad about buying bitcoin at 30k only to drop to 20k should not feel that way about it.

The drop didn't start on June this year but it's real start date was last year around the month of December. If you have been following crypto for years, you will treat this as a normal event because a pump is usually followed by a dip.

The moment you saw the price starts dipping you will not buy yet because you know that there are more to come. In the event the price drops almost half of what he gained then that can be a starting point for us to buy but we shouldn't all in our funds yet because there might be more dips to come. This way there will be no regrets for us. The only thing that we can regret is if we bought at a higher price and then the value drops after that.

I know it can get frustrating for many people  buying BTC on the dip and then it dips more. This is happened to me many times with crypto but I don’t let it bother me. I look at bitcoin as a long-term investment so the swings are not particularly relevant to me.

I believe in the technology and I’m fairly confident that global adoption of the Blockchain is inevitable. At bottom, I predict the price will reach an all-time high eventually so it’s easier for me to remain patient.

We've all been there. Trying to time our buys and sells, after feeling the pangs of regret on missing out. I know it's an old nail and and even older hammer but DCA (or simply put, regular buying without relying on price) works a treat and continues to be the best way to ensure you're always getting Bitcoin, and always taking advantage of dips -- the fact that BTC spends majority of time in the lows also is a huge advantage to DCA strategy.

The other upside not talked enough about is that it frees you up to focus on what really matters (aka everything other than price). This Joy of Missing Out is hugely underrated.

What is the ultimate dip for bitcoin in this bear season ? No one knows about it. Since when we do not know the exact bottom our only option is to buy on every dip and do dollar cost average. Few weeks before bitcoin fall to 17,500$. Many people did not but because they thought 13000$ was incoming but it did not happen. So in short we should not regret buying bitcoin if the plan is to hold for long term.

I was but I also realize that it was not the best thing to do. We'd rather accept the reality that in this volatile market, we dare to be prepared for everything that may happen today, tomorrow, and in the coming days as no matter what we do, things remain unpredicted that is why we usually go wrong.

But I encourage everyone to not make ourselves down for just missing it as the drops can never be forever as long as we are holding Bitcoin and any value coins we still have the chance to sell them high and earn profit.

No matter how high the bitcoins are bought, there is still hope. This is a little bit patient because you have to wait longer. I predict that in 2024/25 the price of bitcoin will be much more than ATH $69k but we have to be confident it's not a big mistake but a delayed profit.
The only thing is to be confident buying at any price we can do well to wait for the right time even though there is a bit of frustration but I don't think it will be long because bitcoin can increase again.
Buying at $20k or $30k I think it's still relatively good and holding up until the time to sell it.

well , we cannot take regretting something that you missed but of course what we need to understand is what to do in the next lol.
and now that i have invested more then i may say that success will come my way sooner  ;D

since you bought at 19k? then you are in profit now because you are seeing a 22k price and still climbing now.

trust that must be maintained and not have to panic when you experience what you are going through, let alone to let go. I agree that risk in crypto is normal when buying the price drops soon after, but based on experience that bitcoin will repeat itself and will even reach a higher price than the purchase, it just takes patience to wait for it to happen again. you are amazing mate, that you are confident and believe that bitcoin will increase again from the time you bought it.

I think the same but what happens is that the majority of those that have joined the market lately are people that are interested in obtaining profits as fast as possible, this means that even if they intellectually know that if they can just hold their coins they are going to be able to obtain some profits out of their investment, they are simply not mentally prepared to hold their coins for that long, this means that no matter how many times we warn them about the dangers of selling their coins now they're not going to listen and they will waste the opportunity to make profits in this market.

Their is no regrets for someone  buy Bitcoin and hold. because when you hold bitcoin it's your money you are holding and if bitcoin it goes up and the money will return to normal. So buying cryptocurrency at the point of every dip market is a calculation of investment for cryptocurrency. Because immediately crypto goes up for any average move it's a benefit of investor and majorly for the people who is holding cryptocurrency for long term

Of course I regret not buying when the dip or bitcoin price is below $20k, I only bought around $650, and was thinking of buying again a few days ago when the price was $19k, too many FUDs made me cancel buying and now the price has gone up more than 30% in the last 4 days.

I am not really worried about the dip but i enjoy buying the dip. BTC has been experiencing downside in the previous years yet still able to bounce back at the top and remain top cypto in the market. So better focus on the positive side while BTC price remain unstable better take this opportunity to buy and hold.

No matter how much the price is below the Dip, many people will buy it because of their belief in bitcoin which will return to the top after the bearish finish.
Even if now the price has gone up a bit to $22.6k but that's still a lot less than -60% of the previous ATH, so don't worry all will go well if we hold on to it longer as the key to big profits.
Let the bears go on for a long time even though it's boring and there's always a sense of worry but if you see big gains we have to be strong to hold on to it.

Because Bitcoin is the most popular crypto and is trusted by many investors, we should not have any regrets if it turns out to be buying before the dip.
Moreover, we can see the history of the movement of Bitcoin, in which the price of Bitcoin will tend to continue to rise, especially after the Bitcoin
halving occurs, Bitcoin prices will usually always pump and reach new ATH. Even I don't really care about buying Bitcoin at any price, I always buy
Bitcoin regularly every month. Because in my opinion people who managed to get rich from Bitcoin, they believe Bitcoin has a bright future,
and always focus on collecting as much Bitcoin as possible, especially in bear market situations, don't miss buying Bitcoin. Later when Bitcoin recovers
and suddenly the pump is very high, we can make big profits.

That's not really a big deal for all of us, despite of the worst downturn of btc these past few weeks. However, in the other side of the story there's a huge impact to biggest investors who seriously followed the good pattern particular with the scalpers who earned thousands of dollars frequently.
We can't deny that we can't have regrets, because often times we tent to decide quickly or just ignore that instances of selling when it's at peak price because of greediness which we expect more profit.

There will be a bit of regret if we buy bitcoin at a higher price and then the price plummets, but that won't be a problem. As long as you don't sell your bitcoins, you still have nothing to lose.
The upside potential of bitcoin is no doubt, if bitcoin continues to fall there will be a bigger chance to come as we can collect bitcoin cheaply and have a greater chance of getting a reward.

Looking at the price chart of bitcoin, I don't know whether I should consider investing now or not. Bitcoin is still hovering around $20k-$21k for some months now and it seems not to fall below $20k. If I should wait for it to fall below $20k I might wait forever.
I think I should stop looking at the chart of bitcoin prices and invest. Since I am to hodl bitcoin for long

I will advise whoever that have fund to purchase cryptocurrency should we move or go on to buy cryptocurrency right now because it is very obvious that the price of Bitcoin fully increase anytime soon so from mine chart analysis I believe cryptocurrency price especially Bitcoin will go up unexpectedly

The ones who do place theirselves on the bottom are the ones who are silent and to those who are just skipping out on making some noises that we should buy the dip and this is a fact.
Even myself is guilty on this one back in the past where my doubts is really that high but on the time comes where i do earn sufficient experience and awareness then those things had been changed.

Regret do always come in the end thats why you should really be careful on investment decisions and make out decisions should really be wise but errors and mistakes
cant really be avoided. Investment opportunities doesnt really come often thats why you should really be wise on taking actions or else you would really be making yourself get behind.

leason learn mate, never ever trust to any rumours around the internet because there's a lot of FUDS that always emerging when bitcoin is not fine. And they claiming their selves as an experts but most of their prediction are nonsense and opposite on the situation. Lol

Better to get specific information on your own by making research so that you know when to buy when bitcoin is on the bottom..  Don't rely on what others saying..

Too much faith in the rumors that some people deliberately create is also not good if you don't plant the confidence in your heart to buy at that time.
Because if you bought Bitcoin at a price of $18k at that time and sold it when the price reached $24k, then you will automatically get a profit in the near future.
But don't worry about that because you actually still have a bigger chance at this moment if your heart is still confident enough to buy more Bitcoins from now on.

Everyday same old story, Too scared when going down and too brave when going up

No one knows how deep the dip will extend, which is why dollar cost averaging
and learning to read graphs and indicators during a Bear market is a winning strategy.
Stay Calm, Don't get drawn into their magnet bear trap
You'll get a chance, Just buy and hodl. Ignore the "as I predicted" charlatans

There's nothing to be sorry for, bitcoin will know to find its own way to rise. bitcoin is not an altcoin which when pumped can no longer return to ATH, we do have to experience a correction in the market so that bitcoin's growth is for the better.

Nothing to be sorry because its just a paper loss and they can recover what possible losses in value if they continue to hold then wait for another bull run to happen, this is always happening on bitcoin especially when there's a halving happening. So what people need to do is to hold if they are trap and cannot afford to cut loss since for sure in future they can recover back or even get a profit once bitcoin price became at excellent state.

Besides, the idea to Buy, Hold, and Sell is really effective. We know that not forever we just keep on holding as there is a time to sell them in order to make a profit. But during this bear season, it was found to be reasonable as selling isn't an ideal response to the market but rather to hold and wait for the recovery. The market won't keep on the downside forever and that is why we don't need to have doubts about holding our assets and no regret happens as certainly we gonna paid off.

Day trading, scalpers - they are somewhat still making their way to generate a profit despite the market condition. It looks like there is no problem with them and I want the people to acquire such an attitude and accept the reality on how the market works. As long as we are buying potential coins there is no problem with that provided that we know how to manage to control emotions and keep our minds positive.

I bought some before the dip, at around 40k level because I wanted to drop the average that I purchased and that makes sense because it means that I got a big drop on my average, then I boguht some more at 28k and some more at 19k. I do not mind buying at any place, I keep on buying at all prices, if tomorrow price reaches 60k I will buy some more there too.

I never regret because I think that bitcoin has always been "temporarily under 250k", never went above that price I know, but I know that it will go above that price, so whatever I buy right now, at whatever price, will be lower than what it will be in the future and I am fine with that.

They know deeper than ordinary traders, they've established system that can generate profits whatever direction the market moves, scalpers follow a good path that let them harvest even in a smallest profit at it can be, as long as they are generating and they are avoiding losing their capital, not easy but if you have good expertise in analysing the situation, the chance is really high for you to earn a good amount of money coming from what the market will bring you.

I would say that scalpers and day traders are the ones who doesnt really care on what would be the market trend because  they could always able to play on whatever the price movement would
be and its true that this is something where people couldnt easily able to attain such skill which means that it isnt for anyone but there are other ways for you to trade without needing to touch up
these things but if you arent that patient enough then you could really have this option but of course it wont be something simple that you could able to handle it out easily.
Regrets are something that cant be avoided but to think that this is an unpredictable market then it is somewhat anticipated.

The price is indeed able to go up or down, there is no guesswork in Crypto just fundamentals.
Making a profit is all about identifying the highest probability setups and waiting for further confirmation,
and we should  also know about risk management
The reality is we are in a bear market now but only the failure will they remember, the opportunities are always forgotten

That's very high hope for the Bitcoin price. I can't say whatever you're wrong or right on your assert that price mark. I know for sure it'll be a long and rocky road for Bitcoin to eventually meet that price mark. If you don't have to worry about ROI for each year, or expense and are truly a long-time holder, be my guest. For the majority of traders/investors I know, they can't go into DCA with that wide range and high price mark 250k like that.
Brought in too soon, waste your fund on it when it was at a high price which later can lower your profit margin. This kind of fear that all of us have. The only way to lessen this is DCA if you thought it might be a downtrend ongoing.

It is true that crypto movements are very volatile, we are very difficult to predict crypto movements. So buying before the dip must have been done
by everyone who decided to join crypto. Therefore, we don't have to regret doing this, let alone still being able to make a profit, we must be grateful.
After all, all of our plans when investing in crypto often don't go as we expected. So, in my opinion, from the start of investing in crypto, we really have
to be prepared with the risk that we might buy before the dip. In conclusion, we don't need to regret buying before the dip, as long as we've invested
in the right coins. Because if we choose the right coins for investment, at whatever price we buy the coins, we can still make a profit.

Market is unpredictable and there's no way that we could know on whats ahead thats why mistakes on missing out on buying on cheaper price is really common or could really happen and even myself had

missed out on buying when the price hits 17k because i was expecting for the price to become even more lower but the market did make some small recovery at least and sitting around 23k as of this

writing which if i had able to buy back into those low points then i have already made profits as of this moment.Regrets and being annoyed or frustrated is something
normal on this market which is really very common.

There is also the opposite, only opportunities they remember and risks are forgotten so that often losses occur when someone puts aside risk and doesn't understand it.
Whereas between risk management and taking advantage of opportunities it must always be balanced to remember so that one can still minimize losses that can occur when bear conditions arrive in the market. Because those who are patient will always win by profiting wisely.

I think, If you ask if bitcoin will bounce back the answer could be. But, is it bound to happen? The answer is not necessarily. Because we only predict not make sure it happens. The prediction could be wrong. However, if you look at the current trend, it will be difficult to see a price recovery because this year has been a bearish year for the crypto world.

Determining the certainty of when Bitcoin will bounce back is indeed difficult, but it can be very possible because after a bearish there is always a Bullrun on Bitcoin if the demand increases in the market. So it's true as you said that certainty and revival will still be with Bitcoin although it's hard to know when it will happen in Bitcoin exactly. Keep the Bitcoin you already have and be patient with the current market conditions.

It is impossible to predict when exactly bitcoin will go up in price, but we can be sure that at some point in the future bitcoin will rise in price again.
There will be ups and downs in the market cycle, and there will not be a market that always goes up and no market that always goes down. Since we are in a downtrend, so the uptrend is waiting for us ahead. The best thing we can do is to hold on patiently and wait for the bulls to appear.

Bitcoin was the first currency to emerge as a cryptocurrency. It is said to be the king of cryptocurrencies. There are none of the risk factors that altcoins have. It will not be lost forever. Maybe the price will come down but at some point it will roar again. Bitcoin is the only coin that retraces its previous all-time high every time in a bull run. So I don't think there should be regret investing in Bitcoin before the dip.

Thats true. So lets not be discourage if we made a mistake of buying before dip or selling before ATH because there's always a chance to timing the market base on what you think is right for your investment. As long as you can wait even it takes longer then no need to regret the opportunity that already passed. Move forward and do better because you already learn from the past mistake.

Looks like you don't have enough faith in bitcoin so it's hard for you to make a profit in the market. You should know that the bitcoin price drop is a completely normal story and many people see this as an opportunity to hold cheap bitcoins rather than panic selling.

All FUDs are launched just for the sharks to buy cheap and you have fallen into their trap. Bitcoin should be considered a long-term investment, so buy it and hold it for a long time and you will see the rewards you get back.

That's very clear and precise, because to this day I'm still happy to hold Bitcoin and also buy it when I have additional capital on a downtrend like now. Because as you explained, after this downtrend ends, the uptrend will be seen again in the future and those who are still patient and don't sell Bitcoin at the current price are very lucky people.
I believe an uptrend will still occur in the market and that is hope for everyone at this time.

If you look at the current price, I don't regret buying when the price is dip, the price is still red and getting closer to $ 20k, many analysts believe that the price of bitcoin has the opportunity to fall again and is difficult to return to $ 50k, but for those of us who already know bitcoin at least A year then whatever the conditions must always be optimistic.

Positive mindsets will create or established good patience with you, you can keep buying while the market is down as long as you do your DYOR in sorting which assets are good to hold either you add more alts or just stay with Bitcoin, it's more on doing your best in researching and studying every potentials that may bring you huge amount of profits when strong bull start to turn and changes from the trends favor all the holders.


Paying attention with every market downtrend will give you opportunities to add more from what you currently hold, it's not easy to see more red while navigating inside the market but once the trend start to pump and green sign dominates, the next thing that you will do is to compute the potential profits that it brings to your investment.

Of course there was a bit of regret at first. but yesterday the price of BTC rose back to the 25k level then there I made a profit and sold it. and now i started buying back on the drop now at 20k level.

Only agree with you that Bitcoin is the father of other cryptocurrencies so even though altcoins he's trying to make well more than Bitcoin that is no reason or surprised about it but what I have to know is that Bitcoin is the founder and the multi-vector of all the coins and without heat increment there's no hope of accelerating other coins. So over to the time to buy Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is during the degradation of cryptocurrency

My biggest regret happened one or two years back when I invested into bitcoin. By that time if I had invested into ethereum I could've made big profit. I bought Bitcoin worth around $11000. During that time price of ethereum was around $1500 and if I've invested that $11k in ethereum within short time period the price of ethereum crossed $4000. By that time there is no big movement with bitcoin.

For now I'm mostly sticking with Bitcoin. Even if I have to see altcoins in a state of decline like now. So I never choose those who rank poorly other than those in the top five cryptocurrencies because it makes me more confident of profit when there is a strong bull in the market that makes the market flow upside down. So at this time I'm still running the old pattern and still don't want to change my pattern as long as I'm still very comfortable with the pattern I've been running for a long time.

Every price looks like an opportunity when we see it back. I used to have regular watching of the market, but mind says lets keep waiting for the low bottom. By the time it bounces back. So, regrets on cryptomarket have become a normal thing. With cryptocurrency what I've learnt, should not think of the next day. If you find it to be right, just go for it and at times we need patience which is more important.

There is no regret for the purchase of bitcoin, people who can place bitcoin in the investment list made, already know exactly how bitcoin will act according to the corruption that occurs, so there is no need to feel great concerns for problems.
Bitcoin will find a way, to pass the correction phase, you can see how bitcoin's trip in the previous year, as a reference for reinforcement

never that I regret any of my decisions  ,  I am not buying because of the terms instead because of the longevity of time as I am managing buying and keeping it hold that easy money.

so I never regret that i did not wait for the dip instead I am thankful in the moment I bought each time.

I think that only applies to the main coins but not on the meme/scam coins. If ever you want to invest on them, you need to invest at the beginning or when their price dumped a lot. That is for you to ensure that you won't lose big or you will earn something in case you got lucky that their value rises and recovers.

It is not wrong to assume for a lower price but it would be better that you will also buy on the current price so that no regrets are going to be felt once the price move upwards and not downwards. If you think regret is a normal thing for you, then that simply shows that you haven't learned your lessons yet. You need to do something about it.

It's good if you never regret the decisions you've made, because it's an absolute thing that you have decided for yourself before buying more.
But some people who regret it also don't vent it out to the public other than just keeping it in their own hearts because they also feel ashamed if the regret they experience is known by others.

If you are going to invest in any about crypto then make sure that you understand what you are entering right?

this market is one of the riskiest place to invest but this is also one of the biggest winner.

why need to admit regression when it is your decision and none of them or us force you to invest in this market.

Never in my life that I regret buying bitcoin in all time either it is before the dip or after the dip because market will always return to what it is , I mean the price will always go up maybe not now or in the future.
But of course this only applies in legit projects and coins and not those shitcoins or coins that has no future at all.
your money? your decisions , so whatever may come it is always depend on your plans and future  reactions .

If there are people who still doubt Bitcoin at this time, then it is a mistake that can result in regret for him in the future. Because there are still so many people who believe in the price increase of Bitcoin in the future after the current period of decline ends in the market. Because there is no market condition that goes down forever without increasing, and vice versa and I believe that you are a person who still believes in the future of Bitcoin for now.

I am like that too, I do not regret anything about my past, it is the thing that made me who I am today and I am very happy with who I am. Sure there were moments when I could have been richer, but that doesn't change the fact that I wouldn't know what would have happened if I was a richer person, and I know right now, so I am happy.

Regret does not bring anything new to the table neither, if you "regret" you do nothing, regret is not an action, you are not regretting hard enough to turn back time, you can't do anything about it, you missed a chance and now it's missed, regret will not bring that chance back. Look forward, and be better for the next time you have a chance.

I dont doubt bitcoin but am worried on where the coin is at the moment. We cant continue to manipulate the market the way it with many institution coming in and losing so much fund. Where will be the confidence of new institutional investors in this market? More also is the position top influencers in the market is critical, Elon Musk as the richest man in the world is careless with handling the market. The space need a credible image in the next market cycle that can manage the information that controls the price and adoption of crypto

For those institutional investors then it is really impossible that they arent aware on how volatility works or how this investment or market behaves.If they dont like volatility then they shouldnt have
joined this market in the first place.When they had jumped in or any other investors out there then it would be understandable that you are already putting up some risk in regarding with your decision
and deal up and act accordingly which you do seem which is right for you to do so.This market is unpredictable and actions would really be depending or basing up
on your own analysis.

Lack of knowledge gives people the opportunity to review bitcoin in the past and present, but for people who have been involved in bitcoin, they will never doubt that bitcoin will find its way after market conditions go down, we have seen bitcoin in the previous year. How it's achieved ATH after the correction phase hit bitcoin many times, then at the right moment bitcoin actually went to the moon, keep calm and wait for the recovery to come

It's never too late for anyone who wants to buy or sell, I have never been held too long, today I bought Bitcoin about $ 380 and I have set a selling price at $ 22k or profit more than 15%, I never panicked if the price will drop Again, I even prepared a buy option if tomorrow the price of Bitcoin is below $ 19K.

I too, have never regretted any investment decision I made if it was for Bitcoin. But some of the people who regret it are those who do not have enough patience while waiting for the new price rally to start in Bitcoin so that it becomes a mistake when they have run their investment.

Yes, that's why I always dare to make decisions on crypto investments because actually I already understand the risks that can be caused by investing and also the benefits that can be obtained through investment. Because the benefits are always balanced with the risks

Yes, and whatever happens is something that I will not regret because my initial target was not to regret, but to get a profit and if I still haven't got it, then I still need to try again at another time because fighting for that profit must always be accompanied with struggle.

wrong because you have other option and you can even sell your coin to convert into other fast moving currency and that is what others do specially those day traders or short term traders.
we always have option and we cannot deny the fact that options to sell or buy is always our decision to make.

In every investment we do make out then it would really be ending up on our own preference and basing up with our analysis and experience.People do really vary when it comes to
decision making whenever there is a price decline.

Some would be keep on eye on buying on the dip and some do panic sell which they do believe that the price might go down even more and thats why they do cut loss.
There would be some regrets since we could really miss out good opportunities on getting in but we know that this market is unpredictable then there's
no way that we could really precisely predict on whats ahead.

I mean it highly depends on the person. If you're short time holder or maybe just a day trader then yes it sucks and you've probably already sold with a loss. However if you're in this for the long term then it shouldn't effect you at all.

Those who like to hold in the long term will have absolutely no effect on current market conditions, even though they are still making repeated purchases in the market when the Bitcoin price declines. So what's worrying about a downturn like now are those who are only holding it for the short term because they don't have the patience to hold it longer.

It isn't regrettable to buy Bitcoin even if it dips way lower.  There is this strategy called cost averaging where we will continue to accumulate as the price of BTC falls down.  Besides if we are in for a long term then the price we bought the BTC whether it is higher or cheaper is negligible because we know that BTC will surpass its ATH every time it is a halving event.

I agree with you on this. As the price of BTC falls, it will be able to store more power for the next bull. At the end of the last year, BTC dropped from a bull market to a bear market. After that BTC has been moving up and down within a fixed area. There is no possibility of loss in investing in BTC. Because BTC have the ability to pass the previous all time high. It is not a problem to buy it at a slightly higher price. BTC holders will never lose in the long run.

We are analyzing the market but still we only follow what does the community mostly advise or tell us, we tend to read threads after thread and then we will put our money in what takes our interests.
having a standby fund will always keep us learning and earning , I tend to put some small amount being ready when there is a  dump and I will buy more when the price down fall.

that's right with DCA we become ready when the price goes down again. because indeed with DCA we have already prepared buy orders in stages to anticipate the price going down as it is today. and if bitcoin goes up then we can profit because we already bought from the bottom. This technique is also what I am currently studying.

Those investors who did not plan things the right way, thinking that this market will easily give them huge profits, are mostly the people who will lose a lot during the bear market. It's a seasonal movement that mostly mistakenly interprets by many newbies. Thinking that the dip was already the lowest value, not realizing that there are still possibilities that it can go down for more.


You need to have more research while the endless fluctuations are present inside the market, setting your target and allowing the market to move according to the path that it should be will let you compensate once the market start to run high. Setting this kind of strategy, though, is not an easy task. It takes lots of time and effort, plus patience, that will let you wait for the right timing.

DCA is for those people who do have the money but not all does have the capital on doing so and even if they do have but the confidence isnt really there thats why its never been that precise that people will really be doing up these things on the time that the market do keeps on declining and go lower on your buying point which it cant really be avoided on not to panic out on these kind of times.
Whenever the market do make out some recovery then this is where regrets do pop out on which we would really be having those whining that we should have at least consider on buying out
those cheap times or red moments but actually this is unavoidable yet we are just too emotional when it comes to our investment which we should really be having a good control at least.

Investors who think like that are actually not wrong as long as they are still willing to be patient and keep every asset they ever buy at this time. Because it is not wrong if there are some novice investors who think this is a very low price and immediately decide to buy without any other consideration. And it may be that they think that the current price is the lowest price they have seen after they saw the highest price last year.

In fact, for long-term investments, it is not a loss to continue to hold bitcoin even when buying at a high price, it just takes patience to wait until the bull market comes and then sell. but indeed the funds absorbed there take a long time to be circulated, of course for those who do have small funds it is very unfortunate, and can make fast trades that can make the turnover of funds more effective.
bitcoin has very different characteristics from other coins and bitcoin will certainly reach renewable ATH at the end of the halving, so holding on to bitcoin doesn't hurt if once again the funds we use in bitcoin are deposited for a long time.
so friends, if you can buy bitcoin at the lowest price of course very good but if you don't get a low price it doesn't matter.

Also those who are here for quick profits, they must be in a roller coaster situation right now which if they  can’t manage the downturn anymore, they will end up selling at a loss. However, since I am always in long term investment, then there’s no reason to regret as bitcoin price will always come back surging and skyrocket in the market.

Yes, that's right! if they are willing to hold and not to sell those assets after seeing that the amount of their investment went down, there are instances or there are many instances that those kind of investors who thinks that the market will quickly gives them huge amount of profits are the one who losses a lot of money while staying inside crypto investment.

They didn't take time just quickly decide to invest without further investigation with how the market will behaves.

It's your money though, and it is your decision to take each time you invest your money whatever movement is available.

True, we are now experiencing a bear market and this is the best opportunity to buy at its very cheap price. However, if you have happened to buy before bearish season, I guess that won’t be a problem as you are buying the right coins to invest, most particularly if it’s bitcoin. After all, all the coins have their own time recover and increase their value. We just need more patience to see them surging again.

Most of the time when people do see some reds then they do usually freak out instead on buying on this low price they are rather being that too hesitant on doing so.The main question is, when you would actually tend to buy? When the price is already climbing high? We are just humans though which it would be that understandable that you would really be that hesitant to make some buy decisions when the market is on deep reds.
Even myself cant really just make out decisions right away when the market dips which it cant be avoided that you would be thinking that you might able to wait further and
the price might go down even more where you do always seek for the possible bottom of price to utilize it for maximum possible profits.

If you’re smart enough you will know that buying bitcoin in any level this year isn’t not a loss or something to regret, still you can buy from this dip also and maybe even more low prices the thing you will regret is missing the train when it goes up. I always leave some bitcoin on my wallet no matter how much i need money because i believe that one day it will really pump like crazy and i will need it to be so valuable, i don’t want to regret the days i have been spending bitcoins in worthless things 6 years ago.

The size is of course different, if the current price of around $ 19700 is of course DIP, and if we don't buy immediately then we will regret it, I'm sure the price will reach at least $ 22k, because the Bitcoin trend since the last 4 months is in the $ 18k range up to $ 24k.

How about those people had been waiting for $13k price or even as low as 10k on where those other people been predicting? Honestly i've been waiting for those Gox coins to be released or sell off before i could
really make myself believe about the possible bottom but well all of these things would be speculation.
Buying decisions would really be that depending on someone because not all would really be that good on how to determine on when to buy and when to wait up.
Everything is random though thats why every decision would be taking does always accompanied risk whether you do end up on regretting or would really be just able
to make action on the right time.

I think some people who are used to taking a larger size profit on Bitcoin won't be too sorry if they miss the $18k to $24k price range at this point. Because it's not too much for those who buy Bitcoins in small quantities except for someone who can afford to buy more Bitcoins at low prices.

But the moment of buying Bitcoin at a low price is of course always better than buying when the price is a little higher because those who don't want to sell after buying can save it for the future, who knows they may find a price higher than the current price range

Time issue and one of the last opportunities to buy on the bottom is before the FOMC meeting.
The decline we see after the merge has more to do with the announcement of the CPI data combined with the pre-determined effect of rate hikes.
But everything will be fine in the future. The price will increase with time.

We can like and invest in what we want, but we must understand why Bitcoin is needed.

Yes, that's what we have to know that bitcoin prices are now low enough to buy in any range it's not a regret but an earlier investment than a low price, so there's no need to wait for the uncertain but when it drops and you're ready to buy then it's the best buy.
If you already have bitcoins that you hold, just be patient because we have to be able to practice it and also avoid FUD or the kind that makes us more fed up, then we must be able to control in bad situations and we make sure to save and wait for another increase.

A lot of traders and investors are guilty on that kind of mindset, they are quick in reacting to what the current market is showing them, not to realized that in anyhow bitcoin will bounce back, so no matter what and whatever the value you bought your coin as long as you are holding it and waiting for the value to rise you are still good. Buying from this current value might give you much better profits when the bull start to bounce back and dominates.


You are right, buying decision always depends from how you understand and how you support your investment, there's no low or high outside your decision making, everything should be assessed and well-study by you, so once you make your move you will have that extra patient to wait for your target peak.

Those who know how to value and maintain Bitcoin will definitely invest long term in Bitcoin. Because they will still believe that Bitcoin is a future asset that will not lose money if invested in the long term patiently. Because many of them lose through investments due to lack of patience when investing in Bitcoin and also in other cryptocurrencies.

Actually this is also not about making decisions quickly at a certain time to run an investment. But for every decision that is mature and clear, there must have been an investigation beforehand and it should also be noted that there is no new news from the past and there is also no definite news from the future, so there needs to be an analysis and investigation before making a decision.

I am one of those who believe that we must not Put our emotion when we are in trading because this brings wrong decisioning as we have seen and I also done this before so i learned my lesson.
Just invest and try to add your instinct instead of emotions  , because with that? the more safer we will be in our trading activities .

In somehow, experienced from the last market run are mostly used by investors who follow the market movement. It's not an accurate prediction, but they are basing it for any possibilities that it can repeat itself. Like how we project the Bitcoin movement, long-term investors are not afraid if they bought their assets at the peak, believing that it will bounce back and it will rally even stronger.

From that sentiment, they are not prone to making quick decisions and regret after they have a concrete plan and they will wait for it to be achieved before they will going to release or to sell their assets.

Investment, though, always relies on how you foresee the full potential of your hold assets. All is in your hands.

No one knows where the last dip is. And there's no point in regretting for that dip. You can take time if you are worried about the market conditions. But one should not wait with the intention of buying the dip. At a designated range you can select your buy price and wait for it.

Before investing we should remember that we have to take risks and be motivated to invest for the long term. Mental strength must be kept more stronger. And invest in assets that can bounce back in your expected situation. Where investors have the confidence.

bringing emotions into trading is very dangerous, because if we think about mistakes and regret them we will get a thing called greedy, a
nd greed will make your trading even more ruined, because you are not satisfied with the profit you have

In the current market, we should pay close attention to the timing to buy.
Start learning or getting advice, not from social media, it's better to follow financial websites like TradingView and use other websites or exchanges to compare notes, economy, and global events in crypto that affect prices.
And when trading we also need to alter our psychology.

I can imagine buying at 30K, when we are now at 19K.

I kind of regret buying at 23K, now I'm regretting buying at 19K, because my feeling is we are going to go to 10K.

I still have hope thought that bitcoin will at least be 23K in the next 3 years, even if we fall to the 5k to 10K price range.


With this all being said, I will regret not buying more now if we are at 30K+.

I just kind of regret everything I do actually.

Timing wont really be that necessary if you do hold for long term but if you do go for short term then for sure you would really be that mindful on that kind of action which it would really be that wise for you to get in on lowest price as possible and this is where these common questions in mind would really be made which it would be a continous cycle as long this market exist.
We do really love to maximize profitability thats why we do keep on seeking on whats the possible bottom but this is something that cant really be determined no matter what
and this is why we do make continous speculations.

at first there was a bit of regret I felt when accumulating bitcoins before the dip. but I'm now learning to be calmer. and will accumulate from the current price which can be said to be a relatively cheap price compared to above 20k. so by accumulating from the current price it is hoped that it will cover losses when the bull market returns.

Of course, it's possible to know the last dip. Maybe what you mean is the true bottom of the price? If the dip that happened is huge and you missed it for none important reasons then I think it's regretful but there is no need to regret for a small dip because there is always a chance that it can happen again.

We need to be attentive in this market so that we won't miss any good happenings as they can come unexpectedly. Investing doesn't always need to be long term but indeed that you must agree first that you can lose money in the process because investing has its own risk. Worrying might seem to be normal but it shouldn't be over done.

Sometimes and some years bitcoin price do increase monthly depending on the demands in that particular period of time, and sometimes too we do experience the negative of bitcoin by the price falling every time. But since it has being in record of Bitcoin that it falls and rise, i don't think that someone can think of regretting after buying Bitcoin ir investing in any coins. I believe that any investor who regretted it actions of buying any coins during the time of dip market doesn't know the probability of coins value. Because average investor have noticed that you can buy a coin during a bearish and after some period of time the coin falls more than your expectations. So cryptocurrency price doesn't have a specific base. From the chart of op you can see sometimes the price increase and sometimes it continues to fall within the same month, so it's the ability of the investors to examine the chart of cryptocurrency before buying, so that they will not regret after buying.

There is nothing to regret buying before the dip because you can't actually determine the dip at the time of purchase. You may just have to focus on the price when you decide to buy, make sure it's the price you agree to because there's always the potential for it to go down or up. This volatility is bidirectional, so the focus should be on the current buy price.

The most likely advice for the OP is to have the right strategy for dealing with doubts if he believes a dip will happen in the future. It's a DCA, the OP may consider it.

Yes, if a trader or an investor waits for a dip, it will increase its instability that has no end. However, it should be fixed by analysis. The lowest price of any particular coin and the maximum price difference and possibilities in the bearish market should be fixed and buy. However, in the case of Bitcoin, if the price difference is slightly higher, that would not make any bad impact.
