My first glance @BTC was in 2015. I wanted to buy something on the darknet (just don't ask me what it was
) and BTC was the only payment.
I looked on an Exchange, seeing around 200$ --> Reaction: this is way too much (I did also not know at this moment that BTC was divisible in Satoshi
) and how can I trust the exchange, I don't buy
My second regret was losing my XVG-Wallet, which later went 100x, when I had no access any more.
The list of regrets is long after all, but we are human, not perfect. Even the best trader misses (way) more opportunities then he can make use of. Even while I'm writing this, I miss many opportunities - that can't be prevented.
Investing is not about seizing EVERY chance, but about keep tracks and keep a clear mind about what you are doing. Don't jump on rolling trains when everyone is hyped, don't get tilt.
Buy quality and have patience.
My biggest regret is when im selling off my antshare/neo when china making issue to banned cryptpcurrency last year, im selling it at very cheap price, even if comparing with neo today price.
Im sure i can earn a good passive income now if im not selling it.
Im also regret to not selling my onion at 16$ early this year, im still having my onion, i hope this year or next, onion will making new all time high
One of my principles is not buying coins with "unserious" names. Animal names seem unserious to me. So I did'nt get antshares back then when it was 2$. I was very Greenhorn trader @that time. I did not even look at the tech and had not yet faced the power of a rebranding.
I was also in Onion, sold most around 7$, which is not so bad after all. I got a 5-digit-$-profit from it. Free money, which I went on with to other projects. Onion was a huge infusion to my capital, and without it, I would'nt be, where I am today. So I kept the sig as a sign of thankfulness and loyality, even yet the campaign is over.
