How to feel dumb and smart at the same time.

So I'm back. You might not recognize this account , but that is because i made only a few posts around 2011. I was there at basically the beginning. I could be rich right now.. That's an odd thought! I was there, but i didn't put the time or effort in. Now im back, Bitcoin is higher than i ever thought it'd be, and i'm trading on exchanges. Live and learn. I feel dumb for not staying in, but smart for getting back in. What were you doing Bitcoin wise in 2011? Did you even know about Bitcoin?

[satoshforever]

I knew about it but didn't educate myself. Only really into it since 2016

[Eric Cartman]

Nothing, that was before I knew about Bitcoin

Info is everything, really

Nope that was a starter year on a cryptography form I didn't know existed, mainly was looking at the wonderful crashes on the stock market and the tempting allure of Fannie Mae and Bernie Mac along with a housing crisis and fun EU drama.

Here the cndition is same , for me , I entered in the Bitcoin field in year 2012 and at that time not much no. Of the coins were available , since few of them are existing in the current time also , but didn't get success by those coins and also at that time another coins were like to place your bets in the gambling game because the trust was not good beside of the Bitcoin and also not much many sites were available at that time for the news and  study about new new things .
But in the current time , many types of sites and services are available to make earnings and get ease of earnings with Bitcoin .
So I think even today I have 80% of the knowledge in the Bitcoin field in comparison of the old time 2012 . Which is sufficient for me to make earnings .

The first time i heard about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies was back in 2013.
I have exactly the same feeling like you.I feel dumb because i didn`t join this forum back in 2014 and
i didn`t start buying and holding bitcoins.I had 1.5 bitcoins when the price was 300 USD and i sold them
because i was afraid of a price collapse.I feel really stupid.

Hey. Better late than never right!? Atleast you came back to a dip in price. Time to cash in!

To answer you're question, in 2011 I was very busy ignoring bitcoin because of my inability to understand the technology and ended up wasting my time playing online games most of the time.

Tell us a bit more. Why did you leave? Did you own a few coins back then and if you did, what happened with it? It is the stories and the people that are interesting about this technology. You also learn from the mistakes of others, when you go through this journey. I had something similar happen with me, because I was told about bitcoin, back in 2010 and I simply wrote it off as a fad. <Geek technology that will never succeed>

If I listened back then, I too might have been rich now. ^sad^

Hmm. I am pretty sure most of us were once a victim one way or the other. I became an active user of bitcoin in 2016, thanks to my merchant. I first knew about bitcoin in 2011 but I took it as just another wannabe ponzi. I just came out of a ponzi then that took some of my money and that really clouded my judgement about anything that has to do with online stuff. Also, I saw most of the cryptocurrency terms then as jargon and a way to bamboozle me in until 2016 when I needed to pay a merchant and I was finding it hard due to the dollar limitation placed in my country. Then he told me to send via bitcoin if I can find a way to get some from my country. Fortunately I did, even got more for the next transaction. It was fast, easy and so happy that I found a solution to my inter transaction issues only to find out later there is more to it. Checked my wallet one day and found out the amount in dollar I had before had increased. I didn't understand how that could have happened until I sped to Google and started asking questions and there is it. Here I am today. Still happy I got to know this time and thanks to my merchant.

there is no reason for feeling dumb, it is not the end of the line yet. things are just getting started with bitcoin. you can still consider yourself an early adopter and have a lot of profit in the future rises. i was thinking the same as you back in 2014-2015 when i started with bitcoin that i have missed the $1000 train and it will never go back there again. no i LOL at those times when price is above twice that number.

and besides not everything is the price. you can still use bitcoin as a currency and try to benefit from a decentralized cryptocurrency that nobody can control.

2011, I didn't know about bitcoin and busy about something else but I still feel dumb for not finding out about it but not as much as you who knew the information but left. Now this time, I am feeling so smart compared to my peers around here who are still not taking it serious either by wish or thinking and few years down the line, they would probably be blaming themselves and wished they are smarter.

Yes, I knew bitcoin back in 2011, I think I have some as well, but I don't know were I put it so I totally lost it. But someone has told me that made me go back again and be positive and not think of the bitcoin I lost. That's why I'm really working hard on earning bitcoin specially in doing trading. So basically, I know what you feel. But again, if I'm going to deal with my lost, I will probably lost my mind as well. So deal with it, stand up like a man.

I'm sorry for you lost bitcoin. But good that you still have that attitude towards it. I didn't know bitcoin in 2011, I just discovered it in 2016-17, so I think I still have time to take advantage of bitcoin and earn or invest from it. And as the OP, has said the price of bitcoin is very high so earning at least 1 BTC would be great.

[ladydark]

My friend first introduced me bitcoins during March 2016.But i quickly recognized its potential.I started spending my spare time in bitcoins and earning a little btc from signature campaigns.Then i bought some btc from my friend and started trading.Today i have even left my job and my full earnings is through bitcoins.

[niisarearning]

I started hearing about bitcoin since 2016 before that I never heard about that but after that I could able to make decent amount of revenue per month. But your knowing since 2011 even if you do once in a month bitcoin related activities you would be millionaire. But coming back is always appreciated all the best

I wish I knew about Bitcoin in 2011, but I respect not knowing about it because the community was still fairly small and I didn't do a lot of looking around online for things related to cryptos or whatever. A lot of my life was just getting through life and I don't think I would have even taken the opportunity to invest even if I had it presented to me, at the time. I simply wouldn't know enough.

I really hope you did not leave your full-time job to earn a income through signature campaigns, because that would just be reckless. These

signature campaigns come and go and some even turn scam, and if you signed up at one of these signature campaigns that turns scam, you will

lose the roof over your head. I got in early, but I did not invest enough to make a huge profit... that only happened much later, when the price

was around $400. 

[karasuri]

I knew about bitcoin, but I was something like "oh, a new Internet stuff, I'll go surfing mems and a tumbler" and now in 2017 I'm here, just like you. dumb and smart at the same time.

Welcome back!

It is a wise decision to come back to Bitcoin because it is not too late. Though you were wrong about not pursuing Bitcoin on its early years, but coming back is the best decision you had to cope with your mistake.

As for me, I do not know Bitcoin until this very year. Yes, I've heard about Bitcoin last year but it seems that I did not pay attention to it that time. So basically, Bitcoin and I just met each other. It's never too late I'd say.
