Bitcoin Forum

I don't know if you still know or know this man, but for me it was one of the memories when I first searched for information related to bitcoin and accidentally saw his analysis. I also used to think that what he said was ridiculous because, at that time, maybe my understanding of the banking system or the economy was too silly. The things he said at that time made me just think that maybe bitcoin is a ponzi project and hires some people to spread it.

This is just one of many cases where he had faith in bitcoin early on and is enjoying the most visible results in the wealth he has earned. It's just that through the story of this case, I see that I have missed out on many good opportunities due to ignorance. But even worse, the bitcoins I had earned before were also impossible. Look back a bit on the past, but don't be immersed in that regret, how we will approach this opportunity in the present and the future. And you, have you missed any opportunities with bitcoin?

One thing I don't want to be doing is been regretful, although sometimes I actually think back replicating myself as one of those early investor that actually Bitcoin during the time at which the price was very low but yet again I start to think many people who were at that time also bought Bitcoin but failed to hold because not much people actually believe that Bitcoin would get this much reputation and expansion.

I like to think that anyone who has missed out on this opportunity still has a second chance to make their investment count because the Bitcoin market still holds many opportunities to actually gain profits depending on how serious and committed you are in making this a reality for yourself.

To start with, flaunting such a luxury and expensive lifestyle online for someone who is given financial advice is not advisable. Many people might have a wrong picture of those successes; they might believe that if they just invest a small amount of money into bitcoin and hold it, they could sometimes be able to get a large profit that can get them as wealthy as their mentor, or even close to that, making bitcoin appear to look like a money-doubling currency or Ponzi scheme that gives 1000 times the reward.
 
For the regret part, I don't remember ever misusing any opportunity to buy bitcoin when I had the time, and I don't think about my past mistakes either, as I take them for what they are and also think about the negative possibilities that could have come of it, not just thinking in positive ways just because Bitcoin has made it this far. I know if there is no risk, there will be little gain, but then again, who knew the risk was worth taking back then when fewer people believed in it?
 
Join the train wherever you meet it and keep going; that's the idea. No matter the time, it's never too late to start on bitcoin.

I have no regrets about my delayed investment in Bitcoin. There were several reasons why I initially missed the opportunity: my skepticism towards online investments, a lack of readiness to comprehend or learn, and no one to guide me. Despite these reasons, I stand today as a testament to Bitcoin's true potential.Bitcoin has the power to unlock more than it was created to do. I don't think anyone should be regretting why they didn't invest in Bitcoin now because it still isn't too late. You can start now any still enjoy what it entails.

Well he is quite famous to the Crypto-currency enthusiast and was amongst the Early adopters of Bitcoin that should count to his credit but my issue with him is that he promotes the get rich side of crypto-currency, not saying that Crypto isn't profitable but it's not a good start for any newbie who believe they can get quick large wealth from crypto.

Also I think he also has focused more on content creating I have seen him do things with some content creators that has no value to add rather than put panic to their viewers that it's easy to make money from Crypto.
He has the right to do what ever with his wealth and I am not going to control that for him but if you really want to know more about Bitcoin he won't be amongst my trusted guide.

This guy was doing a favor to all of us, no doubt anyone with no knowledge of IT and belief in digital coins would have thought of it as real. Back then, people merely believed that money could exist in digital form, maybe if banking apps were common back then like they are now, Then people might trust the digital coins and might not think of this dude as a phishing scammer. You must be regretting it even after watching this video back then because I did not watch it back then. But still, time is in our favor.

Many people on this forum consider them early adopters, compared to those who will join the crypto world 50 years later. This is just a definition of an early adopter from everyone's own perspective. So do not waste time on it and move on. Try to do whatever you have now and see how much you can do with it.

You have the opportunity now and should avail of this opportunity by all means. Do not lose hope in BTC. Because the ideas about BTC and the market were not the same as they are now. Back then, there was less information, less knowledge, and more ambiguity among the users and the readers too. I was young back then, but talking about others who are old might come to avail of this opportunity, but many don't. Looking at the past will always make you feel grateful.

The only way to benefit like this guy showcasing his achievement through bitcoin is when you Hodli for a very long and keep on buying frequently. This guy is a motivation that there is light at the end of the tunnel when you take the bold step to sacrifice and invest in bitcoin with patients for it to bring back good returns in a long period of time. Although, it isn't advisable to put pictures of yourself on the internet in regard to your bitcoin achievement because you don't know who is watching. I have observe that only long term investors are always proud of their bitcoin investment.

We have never had anything in common with this person, which must be accepted as reality:
- found bitcoin on the internet at the beginning2
- see the positive side of bitcoin
- can analyze prices
- have access to bitcoin sellers.

Although I admit this guy is quite lucky, the way he comes up with investment ideas is pure betting rather than intensive research.

I believe a lot of us have missed bitcoin opportunities in the past because most of us have no faith on bitcoin. We tend to think that bitcoin is like a ponzi scheme, maybe work at first but it in the end it will vanish like thin air.  The reason why majority of us never resort into long term hodling and eventually lose our investments, while those few who have established faith very early are now living their dream life. But we all know that in bitcoin, there is no late or early. Now we are just on time. So we need to grab the opportunities again and never do the same mistakes as before to avoid missing bitcoin opportunities again.

I think I may have seen a video of this guy on the internet before, his story is one of a early investor. Not many people can say they have been this lucky. His story is a testament that bitcoin isn’t a scam and truly bitcoin investment can change lives. However, newbies should be cautious of similar stories and understand that bitcoin isn’t a get rich quick scheme, there is no magic money to be made from bitcoin. Bitcoin has past the age where you can make significant profits with little investments, now it’s a long term game.

Bitcoin has created an investment opportunity every year. I agree with you that for those who have missed the investment opportunity in Bitcoin, the current scenario of the market is still a golden opportunity for them because, as you see, Bitcoin has also changed its sentiment. And his move has been completely parallel to the bull. And at the same time, it is clearly visible that the countdown to Bitcoin halving has started and is ready to happen in just a few months. After the occurrence of Bitcoin halving, Bitcoin is often successfully testing its new ATH, and this time too, it is expected that the same bull process will be repeated.

So, those who missed the opportunity and had regrets about getting Bitcoin at a low price So they can take entry now based on their acquired knowledge and research, and I think this is also a suitable time for profit-gainers. If the bull run happens, then according to experts, the price of bitcoin can be predicted at up to 150k or even more. If someone is a long-term holder, then they must have already entered the market and are still looking to enter the current market as well.

So the purpose of saying this is that it gives the opportunity for Bitcoin investment all the time, but it depends on you when you take the opportunity as a booty for yourself and take the entry and book the profit by holding it.

I don't know this guy, but first of all let's say that we don't need to put on someone's face  to understand the process of those who got "fortune" with bitcoin, if we do that we would have a thread and without exaggerating like that of WO (speculation board) the millionaires of bitcoin are many.

So it doesn't matter what face you give it, in fact we have guys who were bitcoiners from the beginning and are anonymous but they continue to contribute a lot with the ventures related to bitcoin, they have dedicated themselves not only to saying I am a millionaire with bitcoin but they have been actively involved in ventures related to blockchain and bitcoin.

So, the list of more examples to put in the Op is long.

On the other hand, bitcoin has just launched +35k, did you take advantage of it or are you waiting for the ATH for...what? You have to consider the present to visualize actions in the future, the past is only a reference in the analysis to make better decisions in the present.

#TBT Topic and...OP, no regrets  ;)

Well, that's one thing I don't like when you decide to invest. Investments should start with a good preparation not only on the sufficient funds you need for capital but also when it comes to your mental and emotional aspects. Make sure that you obtained prior knowledge about bitcoin and you are not faint-hearted so you won't be easily affected whatever the outcome of your investment. However, if you think of investing is like gambling, that it needs more luck than knowledge or skills, then you will never gained financial freedom in the end. This man is just so lucky that his investment had succeeded despite of his different mindset about investing. The only positive thing about him is that he trusted bitcoin more than any other investment and at such a very early time. I think that's one positive trait that we are lacking. Yes, we don't miss opportunities that bitcoin has to offer but we all know that our faith is not that strong and firm like him that's why in every market crash and price decline, we tend to change our decision towards reaching our goals in our investment.

Your right, there shouldn't be no room for regret. Even if the opportunity of Buying Bitcoin e earlier was there what is the probability that you would have hold it till the price became what it is today? A lot of persons who have sold earlier if they were given a second chance, they might not had kept it until now. Because I could remember large number of people who saw that the price had an X amount of rise sold on the way and couldn't endured to the point it became now. Withing the past few days or weeks we have seen a bit of increase from 27k to 34k and some persons have sold, these set of people will feel very disappointed if it goes higher than the current price. There is always a chance of missing out. Missing out is always a possibility, but dwelling on regret won't change the situation. Like you mentioned, there are still opportunities on the way so it's best to adopt now to avoid regret for miss.

And, here we are again with the "Missed Out" series where people are saying that they missed out the potential profits, and if only they invested earlier.
What the person said in that video is just like a prediction coming from him, and add a little faith of course. He said that 10 years ago where nobody is trusting Bitcoin since it's a new invention. Now he's reaping the fruits of his investments, and what's the reason why he got rich? Faith, and trust.

When did you start involving yourself into crypto, and you are saying that you missed out on good opportunities OP? If you missed out during then it's your problem now, but if you missed out before you even started then wake up. Another thing is that, you can't change the past anymore, but you can change the future, so instead of focusing on those missed opportunities, just focus on the future opportunities that you might encounter like the upcoming bull run.

Did I have missed any opportunities with Bitcoin? Yes, and the most recent one is the bull run in 2021. I have the opportunity to sell all of my assets, and re-buy it on the bear market, but instead I didn't sell all of my assets, but I slowly accumulating different assets during the bear market in preparation for the upcoming bull run. I hope others do it as well instead of buying at the peak or near the peak of the bull run.

Don't let yourself get lost in regret. And don't let ourselves look too much into the past. It's never too late to invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin can still develop further. The potential for an increase in value is still high, this is in line with its popular name, namely safe haven assets.

For me, it's being a kid and being broke that I wasn't able to invest in bitcoin, the moment that I've learned about bitcoin watching YouTube videos about it, I wanted to get my hands on one but being a dumbass, I didn't try to learn more like how to make your own wallet or how to buy one. I guess my only regret was that I was too immature to actually buy bitcoin when I wanted to have one at that time but this is no time to dwell on that regret, I've got my bitcoin now and that's good for me now.

This is the biggest problem that the Bitcoin community suffers from and you just repeat the same mistakes in this topic too. The problem is people who introduce Bitcoin to others as something you should "invest in" so that you can "make profit" when it goes up! Of course anybody hearing such a description thinks bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme. What else are they supposed to think? Your topic here is also only talking about "opportunities" missed and "profit" that could have been made by you that is made by others.

That is NOT Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the only existing decentralized currency that is working as it should; without being censored and without being broken. Of course being in the adoption phase means its value keeps going up, but "making profit" should not be the main reason why people adopt bitcoin.

Many people have missed the opportunity of bitcoin, but those who now know bitcoin better than before have no regrets because at least they have now benefited from bitcoin. They don't need to regret it because maybe at that time, they didn't know anything about bitcoin.
Moreover, at that time, bitcoin had not yet gained popularity and not many people knew about it or kept bitcoin as an investment. But from what they saw in Bitcoin's journey, they discovered that Bitcoin was not what they thought.
And that's what makes them start to open up to bitcoin and start learning about it.

In the past, we could ignore Bitcoin, but not now, especially since many people are starting to know Bitcoin and use it as an investment. Use your past to make you better and now you know Bitcoin better so you know what you must do.

I followed the strong pump when Bitcoin reached its final ATH, but I released my Bitcoin first before the ATH was reached. a little disappointed and regretful, but I made a profit.
and now I have got my bag back. collecting some in a trend that has continued to fall some time ago. and this time I wanted to make sure that I didn't want to miss any big pumps in the future. it could be my disappointment and regret again, but I hope I don't do it.
For some reason, when I look at the past, it makes my enthusiasm and confidence in Bitcoin increase a little. Maybe that's what some other people feel too.

Damn, this guy had predicted the future of Bitcoin 10 years ago. He kinda looks suspicious with all those pictures, bragging with private jets, expensive cars and luxurious lifestyle. All the online scammers brag about their wealth and success.
However, I wouldn't take his advise about buying 1 USD worth of BTC seriously. What was the BTC price back in May 2013? Several hundred dollars? If you have bought 1 USD worth of BTC back in 2013 and current value of this 1 USD worth of BTC would be 100USD at maximum.
I have had many moments, when I've missed the opportunity of making more money, but there's no point of feeling regrets. I guess that it wasn't my destiny to make lots of easy money at the earlier stages in my life.

Exactly, OP thinks if he had bought BTC back then he would be rich by now, no, to be rich you have to take that opportunity for granted means you have to trust the potential of it. You can do research invest a small amount and get some BTC. But the real struggle will start after buying the BTC. This is to keep them safe because at that time, many types of scams were common and one of them was sim swapping but scams like these mean the old ones are not used in the current era.

At that time, many people lost and sold their BTC and they were also regretting their decisions. But those who bought or earned BTC at that time, and forgot about it or kept it intentionally by knowing the potential, are the real BTC-rich guys. Just like this dude, who trusted BTC and was begging people to buy it, if we have done some research and know that BTC is not some ownership of this dude he will get some profit out of that buying of ours. Then we might not consider it as some phishing scam.

I saw what the youtube channel is all about and I do recommend people to get in early. However reading the OP I thought some things should be made clear.

There are a niche of social media influencers who in short have the habit of "showing off" or faking it and not actually being rich. They make money by promoting brands and the rich lifestyle but all that is rented or faked, targeting the younger generation. People should be careful of this.

Bitcoin will not be something that gets you rich overnight and neither will any altcoin do that, unless you hit some jackpot, and like jackpots they are unreachable.

This is why I advice people to not follow influencers of crypto-based social media because of the shill it carries. Build your own concepts and live by them and obviously buy bitcoin at the bear markets.

There are many opinions above but I think a simpler way is to look at their reactions to this story.

The story of 2013 is completely different from the story of 2023, as the title introduces a retrospective. Ask yourself if you heard about bitcoin from 2013 to 2014 and I admit that I am confused, as well as the knowledge resources for me to access, or the direction to access that knowledge is very different with the current social context.

I also very much agree that currently, while the media and social networks help knowledge to be transmitted well, there is still a system of false knowledge being spread. But that doesn't have much to do with what I want to talk about, simplifying the whole story and not wanting to overcomplicate, I have had happy and miserable times with bitcoin but at the end of the day I Realize I'm really stupid.

I have talked about it clearly, hoping for fun.

We all have our regrets with Bitcoin but lucky to Davinci for believing in Bitcoin at a very early stage still I don't want to keep regretting that I have missed the biggest opportunity of a life time, life goes on, the opportunity in Bitcoin today isn't as big as the past but who are we to know what will happen in the future? A part of me still believes that Bitcoin can worth 500k in the future, so the opportunity is still here, I would rather take the risk than drowning in my past regrets over Bitcoin, ETF could get approval in the end and it will bring in more money and trust.

My advice for everyone reading this topic is to learn from it, there is no future in anything if you don't believe, if you believe that something have a chance of surviving or doing well in the future you should take the risk and hold firmly, it's investment advice that you are to invest only what you can afford to lose, if this is what you are doing why fear taking risks?

The ICO price of ETH is even more hilarious than the value of Bitcoin at it's earlier days, you would have make a fortune from buying ETH when it was first listed on exchanges years ago, I believe that opportunities like this isn't gone forever, always do your own research and make sure you believe in yourself, opportunities in crypto space is bigger than any other places in the world today.

I don't even know Him not until you posted this , and also i am not attracted to what he achieved because of these photos of how luxurious His life now from all of His successes in life.

and also want to congratulate Him for what he have made .

It would be very naive if anyone said they didn't regret the delay in buying Bitcoin in the past. Because that's just an excuse not to admit that at that time you still didn't understand Bitcoin. Anyone in the past and having the opportunity has definitely said they want to buy more Bitcoin. So I say don't be naive.

Sometimes we need to regret the past because it can provide valuable lessons for every decision we take in the future. That doesn't mean just lamenting because you said it was too late to buy Bitcoin. Hey, Bitcoin is still available and if you still think it's too late, the person actually doesn't know Bitcoin. Because in the end we see the profits made by people who succeeded in going through a long process when Bitcoin was still cheap.

Yes, when I saw this video, and it was a long time ago, I didn’t believe it. Recently, I watched this video again with completely different eyes. It's amazing how people can sometimes predict, but we miss what one day becomes history. I never pay child support for regrets. You can't predict every step. Just do it now, when you understand the things you are talking about, so that in the future you really won’t blame yourself for regular mistakes.

I don't have any regrets, i feel people who have regrets are only focused on the price of BTC and how much money they could have made if they had invested in BTC in the early days. If not that, what is there to regret? BTC is and has always been a decentralized, permissonless and censorship resistant currency irrespective of when you buy or use it. BTC is volatile and returns can be made from it, but if we all have this idea, what will happen when adoption is so high and BTC is no longer as volatile as it is today, would you spend it as a currency?

What is the point of crying over spilled milk? The man (like many others) realized what Bitcoin can do for him and he (allegedly used it), and now he is using his video to promote some tokens and shitcoins and people should believe him that what he is promoting today will be successful as what has BTC been successful in the past 10 years?

Besides, who says that these planes, yachts and whatnot are actually his? You shouldn't believe everything you see, and to me all this seems like just one big deception...

That is absolutely true, we can't trust anyone these days as more than likely he has personal motive why he's doing such move.
We also can't judge what we see on our own eyes as we don't know exactly the stories behind what we are seeing.
But in any case, we can never tell that what we predict today will be true in the near future.
We can only tell it afterwards, but you are lucky if what you are doing today will bear positive results later on.

As you also said, don't dwell on past regrets, so I think it's inappropriate for you to ask people about opportunities they missed in the past. We should look to the present and the future, stop thinking about things that we will never be able to fix. Bull season is approaching and we should focus every resource we have on not repeating the same mistakes of the past.

I don't like thinking about the past because it doesn't bring any benefit. In life there are thousands of things we regret, not just bitcoin, and if I have time to think about the past, I would rather think about better things.

When people begin to flaunt wealth in public, I usually suspect that they have ulterior motives. They know that people are gullible and can be enticed by these shows of luxury. They end up introducing a get-rich-quick project that ends up becoming a scam. If I had seen this video before now it would have discouraged me from investing in Bitcoin because this has been the strategy of many Ponzi scheme operators in my location. One of the reasons why I accepted bitcoin was because I was told that it was a long-term investment. People would join the bitcoin ecosystem without all these fake displays of wealth.

But ETH is an altcoin and so far, besides ETH, do we have any other trustworthy ICO projects? I think we should continue with bitcoin and maybe ETH even though it will be riskier than bitcoin. Your advice can easily make newbies misunderstand that instead of investing in bitcoin or ETH, we should look for new projects to invest in. But I believe that no project will ever become like ETH, let alone bitcoin. Altcoins today are more like trash and gambling than real quality projects to invest in.

He was one of the few who was able to take and maintain such a long-term view of bitcoin, which should teach us a lesson. Although future returns will probably not be as high as those of the first cycles, accumulating bitcoin for the very long term is something that our future selves will be very grateful for.

I get scared when I see people display wealth because they invested money on bitcoin. Out of 100, 99 of them are always scammers that are just using random pictures of influencers and celebrity to scam new people that want to invest in bitcoin, I see many of them on Instagram and Facebook, anytime I see them, I will just report and move from their pages.

One of the statements I have personally pick interest in and I will love to hold into is Not your keys, not your bitcoin. Only the affected victim of private keys will understand what I'm talking about. If you have never lost a private key in your journey of holding bitcoin, no way you will understand this statement especially when you are viewing the wallet address, seeing it but helpless on how to move it.

Wow, the video's actually really popular, I'm surprised to see 4.3 million views. But I don't remember seeing this guy before, to be honest. The video was made 10 years ago (or reuploaded 10 years ago, perhaps, but I'll go with assuming it's the original), so let's see. The price was around $100 per Bitcoin at that time, so $1 would've been around 0.01 BTC. In today's money that's $345, at ATH it was around $690. So, while a huge return on investment, $1 wouldn't have changed much and wouldn't have made anyone rich, unless the video actually isn't from 2013 and is from a much earlier time.
I just wanted to point that out.

I remember watching this video some years ago, I wish I would have known about this back in 2010 but it is what it is, I'm still happy that I managed to understand bitcoin's power after the first researches I did. And the main reason for me to invest in bitcoin was the possible future regret in case I didn't, I was very aware that there was the possibility to lose that money but the risk was absolutely worth it.

Yes, many people regret why they didn't buy it at the beginning of its launch, I also had that thought because at that time there was no knowledge about investing. And of course many people doubted the timing of its initial launch, many were skeptical that this was just a joke.

Yes, it's true what you say, there's no point in regretting it's better if we get up, yes we have a second chance in owning this asset, after studying it more deeply even though the price has soared too much, this is the best time to accumulate as much as you like. we are entering a bearish phase. and soon we will enter this bull phase, which occurs once every four years.

It's really amazing how there were so many people over a decade ago who actually knew the true potential of bitcoin even before it gained as much popularity as it is right now.
 
I watched the 6-minute video, and I must say the guy really saw the future of bitcoin and really advised people to take the right part. Even those who don't believe in it should at least sacrifice a single dollar in the form of a donation and lock the bitcoin with someone so they can come back to check the price after some years.
 
If there was anyone who did that as of the time of the video, which is May 2013, when Bitcoin was $100-$113, investing 1 dollar back then (was worth 0.01 BTC at least) could have given someone at least $300 with the current price of bitcoin, and if the person sold when it hit an all-time high, that would have really been a massive profit beyond expectation. There is really a chance that the OP was already a wealthy man before the time of bitcoin and could have used his wealth to embrace bitcoin. As of that time, investing even if it's $10,000 alone would have given him a fortune.
 
@bluebit25 A lot of people will get confused over your thread as there will be different mindsets based on the picture you presented. It's a case that happens on different occasions, and those luxury images were not part of the 6-minute YouTube video, which means that picture was probably taken some years after he was more successful than he ever was, so adding the link to where his success was celebrated to reference the image would also be appreciated. Reading from the comments from others, there is already some convincing fact that the guy used such luxury to promote bitcoin, which makes it appear as if it's a Ponzi scheme.

Let us just say I watched 100s of crypto videos on YouTube at the time, and unfortunately too many crypto influencers I followed at the time were associated with scam projects which made me stop following these guys as they proved to be in the game for financial gain only, the last guy I followed was actually a bitcointalk member Ian Bala...something because he stood as an adviser for a good project I followed and was quite influential ::)


I remember seeing several of this kind of videos but don't recall seeing such a face unfortunately...

If you read all the posts in this thread, how many people noticed that the video is being used to promote some meaningless token - and how many will actually be caught on this bait and invest in that same token? People who have been on this forum for a while should know much better than to be fascinated by stories like this, which actually do not help anyone at all except the one who promotes some of his useless tokens through them.

---

Such a number of views in 10 years is not something spectacular, but the question is how many unique views there actually were, because it is no secret that today you can buy any number of views and comments.

If it was 2011 you could have purchased 2000 coins dirt cheap. 1 dollar a coin in feb 2011.

Held them and sold a few hundred in Nov 2013 netting 200k+ and still have 1800 coins

do nothing but hold the 1800 coins til 2017 sold 200 in Dec 2017 netting just under 4 million.

leaving you with 1600 coins do nothing but hold them til 2021 sell 200 in nov 2021 netting just under

14 million leaving you 1400 coins.

You will never need to buy them if you sell 200 every 4 years at new ath prices.

I'm probably the same as you who didn't really believe in Bitcoin at first. But fortunately I never suspected that Bitcoin was a Ponzi scheme. But I used to think that Bitcoin would only be as useful as points or coins in a game. So I ignored it and barely even remembered about bitcoin. But then I studied it and started to understand that Bitcoin does have a much better future and will be accepted by more people. So I won't feel like it's too late to start. Because looking at the current human population and compared to the current number of bitcoin holders, there is still a very large gap. So I think bitcoin will be much more valuable in the future. So starting to collect them now is what I consider appropriate.

For sure if we watched his videos back then, we we're not that knowledgeable into Bitcoin or to crypto so we would only doubt his analysis. It's like a random guys spreading a word from an unknown token that only few people that are aware from its existence, which really sound like a ponzi project or a scam. But maybe some of the people that got curious from his words and researched what is really Bitcoin and took a risk, then good for them but there's no literally regrets as we only play safe back then since Bitcoin is not that look promising before. It would literally depends on the person's risk taking, cause for me money still money, I would not invest my money into something that I'm not that knowledgeable.

Unless someone really understood how bitcoin worked I think it was reasonable to be skeptic about the results that bitcoin could produce, in fact even now I am surprised about how fast bitcoin has been able to reach its current level of adoption and price.

However now scammers are using that success story to try to promote their shitcoins, and people believing they can capture the same success and make money with those coins take the risk of investing in those coins, not realizing the difference between bitcoin and those shitcoins is the same difference between heaven and earth.

That is also what I mostly sees about those influencer and advisers that keeps posting their luxurious living from what they claimed to be coming from their investment and success.
because what I do see are they gained it very easy or they are scammers that taken money from others.
and for me those impression is very negative for attracting people.
why not just prove your success depending on how you are encouraging people? and not for luring them because of those fancy things tou earned.
actually I am using my past mistakes for reference to not make the same mistakes again.

but regrets are long gone in mine because I know that there are more to come in the future if I will continue trusting this coin.

I remember the guys and a few other similar stories which we can see popping up over social media whenever the bitcoin becomes bullish and the recent jump from $27K to 34K probably brings back him to the trending news.

Well, we can't go back to the past and buy bitcoin at $1 anymore so now see the current price $34K and where it will be in the next 10 or 15 years, even if bitcoin grows 50% or less than its previous era still you can make ton of money and can tell such story to someone else.

Well, that's to be expected because people love success stories and they all dream to be part of one so the scammers know this and so they try their best at social engineering and make it like their shitcoins are going to be the next bitcoin that will change the lives of the people that's going to buy and potentially buy their shitcoins and it works because we're addicted to the Cinderella stories of crypto people and we are so scared of regret that we always want to jump on an opportunity hoping to get lucky even though we know at the back of our minds it's not going to be happening.
No matter how much you sugarcoat it, people are still going to regret not buying bitcoin when the price was still at the time a measly dollar, plus you saying that won't dispel the fact that even if you buy bitcoin and HODL for a long time, you're not getting the value that the other people who bought at dollar per piece back then.

We all deserve a second chance, especially if you have entered or discovered Bitcoin. You are not too late. As long as you have determination and dedication. You will definitely get a profit here, especially if you do long-term holdings.

It's a shame that I didn't hear about Bitcoin right away in 2010, because I'm sure even if I bought a little bit of it, I would hold it for a long time, because now I have others that I'll hold for a few years, and at the right time I'll sell it when I see that I have other dreams in life.

Your analysis examines the conflict between Bitcoin's true rise and the rise of less significant cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin's solid architecture and decentralized features have propelled it into the mainstream so quickly. Bitcoin's skepticism has gradually vanished, but as you stated, success is now managed.

Scammers capitalize on Bitcoin's success by selling "shitcoins" to naive investors. They convince people that alternative coins can follow Bitcoin's path with their appealing narrative. You are right - the difference is apparent and profound. The difference between these coins is huge, and anyone entering the crypto must learn this.

That was Ian Balina and Suppoman who still run their youtube channels and made a good deal of profit by baiting newbies into pump and dumps and using their influence to rip off more. I think some legal troubles happened and they eventually lost their popularity by some niche membership groups still consider them as some messiah and follow their scum coins.

What I tell newbies is not to follow social media personalities however good they might sound, because they are always doing it for the money and personal gains. Buy bitcoin if you have to, but dont blindly follow some "guru" - that is exactly what bitcoin's ideology abhors.

When people reflect over their past actions and see what they have done with their lives, one of the most common thoughts that come to their minds are the opportunities they missed along the way and that could have allowed them to improve their lives, and there is no doubt there are many people that regretted selling their coins too soon or not buying at all, but this is a mistake that can be easily corrected, since the potential for bitcoin to grow in value is still there.

Yes, I'm into this space for close to a decade, yet I don't have btc as much as I would like. Major mistake I did was to hold onto alts until they went dead. It's my experience that alts give more profits than btc, for the simple reason that when btc rises everything else rises but one must remember to convert those profits into btc to secure them.

I did miss a few... I was aware of it in the past, but did not take the time to research on it. It is a pity, but at least we are ahead of normies

He gained this from his very simple words....buy $1 worth of Bitcoin. He didn't say to sell your house to buy it...he said spend what you would spend on some candy, on bitcoin instead. I'm sure he wouldn't give an F about how it looks, he earned and got rewarded for being a visionary :) He tried to help others along the way with a simple message, which is credible enough.


You're right, regret is not worth paying mind to if we don't find constructiveness from it. What can be taken is to not be afraidnto put a small amount of money into what could be a great innovation, as that small and insignificant amount at the time might be life changing later.


It's not too late, but it is a bit late.

We all have regrets when we were not able to appreciate and take advantage of early opportunities from Bitcoin, and for me instead of being stuck with all those regrets, why not use it as a good motivation these days to take advantage of the different opportunities that bitcoin has to offer. That way, we can still be profitable with bitcoin knowing there's no late when it comes to bitcoin.

However, maybe some of us have followed his piece of advice and live the best of their lives these days. Soon we will also be in their position. Patience and perseverance is the key.

We do all have that kind of regret on to miss out on buying Bitcoin when it was really that too cheap or not a significant amount. Just like in my case on which i have heard of about Bitcoin when im still in college in those years 2009-2010 on which i have been able to see some search results wayback and since the price is close to none, then i have lost my interest but have missed out that golden opportunity to buy
on that time and since my interest is really that something focused too much on research due to studies then i have just forgotten it out until i have meet up crypto space again in year 2015+ which the price
had already rose up to $200 as far as i remember on which that time it do really leave that kind of regret on what i had just missed.

Now that i do have the chance on acquiring but due to some needs then those bitcoins that i have earned on 2015+ have been spent on some needs on which i had missed out
again when that bull run hits on 19k. Now that another bull run happens on 69k then i had missed out again due to active spending.
Tons of regrets of those missed opportunities that i had committed but well there's nothing we can do but to move on.

Well, many here also missed a lot of opportunities in bitcoin, even with the big lift in the bitcoin price, but that should not stop us. Even though bitcoin can provide opportunities, it depends on the people or investors on how they will see that path and how they will utilise it. The fact that you are still in bitcoin even if you don't experience the big turnovers means you are dedicated to earning and having a good future via bitcoin. I too, myself, did miss a lot of things in bitcoin. I can't say I'm late in investing in bitcoin; maybe I was just a recent investor in bitcoin for a few years. Even so, I still strive to earn from bitcoin, as there are a lot of things to do to earn, not just holding an asset. You can do a lot of things like trading, staking, flipping, and many more; you just have to discover and explore.

I wish I got to know about Bitcoin as far back as when it was created. The Bitcoin-backed millionaires we see today are the ones who purchased Bitcoin at its super tender stage. It still amazes me how $50 worth of Bitcoin back then was so much. Today, even with thousands of dollars, people are still getting fractions of Bitcoin. And as we hope the value to keep increasing, one day, $100k may not buy even half a Bitcoin. So it’s not over yet; Bitcoin still has some heights to climb.
