This post is for those that think they missed the boat

While your message is very inspiring, my advice would to invest wiser, not much.

What the future will bring us nobody can tell. As BTC seems promising in the near future, it all seemed great in the past year too. When it just drop people were scaried and nobody could predict what was going to happen.

The same applies today, so I would invest in BTC, ETH and some Altcoins as well.

Always have a plan B just in case.

Wise words here...

Wealthy people would be rich with or without Bitcoin.

The key to being wealthy is Preparation Meets Opportunity. Learn valuable skills, network with successful people and keep trying till you succeed!

And I'm deeply curious how much bitcoin you sold at price levels you thought were outrageous at the time...and how much you still have.

The same applies today, so I would invest in BTC, ETH and some Altcoins as well.Always have a plan B just in case.
 

Litecoin, folks, invest in Litecoin.

Only invest amounts that wouldn't make you sad, if price drops rapidly. Otherwise you will start panicking and try to sell your bag for less.

I have thought it was expensive to buy when it was around 1000 USD. It was around January, now it is around 4000 USD. Other than cryptocurrencies, no other method can give such profit or loss.

I have that feeling of missed oportunty. I have just started with mining and investing in crypto. Hovewer i also belive that cryptocurrencies will rise even more.

We will see in a year or two

Anybody who's here thinking they want to get into bitcoin just needs to suck it up & invest. We all wish we were involved in 09 but there's no time like the present. The price goes up constantly so my advice to noobs - buy what you can afford to & hodl for a few years. Bitcoin = almost guaranteed profits, huge profits too.

[bxipp]

you are right. never to late. there always be something new and learn from bitcoin. dont just chase for bitcoin. look for the new one. there are plenty room to evolved with them. start from ground and build it from scratch. have a plan and do always gain more knowledge.

[Mike Mayor]

I wouldn't give up. Never give up. Opportunity is around every corner it is just up to us to find it. People gave up on their chance with btc then eth happened and many people made a killing. There is waves now which is really great I think it might be the next eth ? There will be many more opportunities with other upcoming currencies to make huge profits. We all still early adoptors of Bitcoin.

The OP has a point. I was also tempted to sell when the price hit $ 3000 but luckily I decided to HODL. If you want to invest and not day-trade, then any time is good time to buy bitcoin. I am sure it will reach $10k in 2018.

I am still learning about the crypto currency world. Haven't invested yet but with all that I've learned so far I want to at least a small investment to start with.  I started learning all this stuff for a job I am doing for a team that is more involved in the crypto world than I am. So this is very helpful information ty.

[maeddes]

Thats quiet a nice motivational speech. And i wanna add to it, that the most value of a coin or anything else is the value you give to it. I mean you dont sell yourself if you dont succeed in something, just believe in yourself and give it another try!

[joachimhelminths]

I thought I was missing the boat when I first bought at around $700 last winter!

[Svelto]

Well said, thank you for the advice

[mvillar]

Thank you!

Who would have imagined Bitcoin would reach $4100. Why could it not get to $20000 as cryptocurrency get's popular every day? So it could be still going up and then you're not too late.

[KozUnknown]

Definitely had this feeling when I remembered passing on the opportunity to buy bitcoin 3 years ago. But just watching the exchanges and watching how prices have risen for many coins gives me a sense of hope. Might never be another bitcoin but opportunities are still good! Plenty of coins still gunna go to the moon!

[Malaya]

This is so much a valuable advise. It is an eye opener and at the same time good thing to think through about life and strategies we do on how to handle it. What a very nice day to hear about opportunities and how you can maximise it. I love the fact that people like you guys are all open minded and willing to achieve greater heights! Kudo's for everyone. Opportunities comes at once uniquely but keep on striving.

[HowDidIGetHere]

I'm wondering where the idea that ETH is a fad and will quickly fade away given it's amazing acceptance by others. Many people were saying the same about BTC when it was released. That's how we find ourselves here. I think that ETH should be treated as BTC was in the beginning until it shows that it's unable to sustain the current growth path.

[seinzein]

Don't worry or be sad, there is still much room for growth in crypto-currencies that's a fact!

It's easy to tell yourself, "I wish I would have gotten into Bitcoin earlier so I could be rich!" but friends that is flawed thinking. You see, people that are wealthy today are wealthy for many reasons. These people were at the right place at the right time, had knowledge of markets, patience and discipline to sit on their investments through the many ups and downs.

It was extremely difficult and rare for early Bitcoin adopters to make it all the way to 2017 without selling their holdings. When Bitcoin was worth fractions of a penny, do you know how hard it was to not sell when Bitcoin was all of a sudden worth $1? If you had 100,000 Bitcoins, you would most likely sell most if not all of your coins for $100,000 because who would have thought BTC would be worth more than a dollar?

What about when Bitcoin was worth $100? Do you know how hard it was for people to not sell their stash then? If you had 5000 Bitcoins, you were now worth $500,000!

The point is, when you sit and regret you miss out on the many opportunities right infront of you. If you knew Bitcoin was going to be worth $50,000 in the near future would you be sitting and regretting? Or would you try and make as much money as possible to get 10x return on every dollar you invested?

Most of the large Bitcoin holders today were already wealthy when they got into Bitcoin, and had the capital to speculate on Bitcoin to hold for the long term.

So if you're broke today with no Bitcoins, it does NOT matter. Wealth can come at any time, you just have to position yourself to seize the right opportunities. You could win the lottery, find yourself in a profitable business venture, receive an inheritance you NEVER know. Then you can just buy Bitcoins.  

Don't chase only Bitcoins: Chase Assets and Capital, then invest wisely. Good luck!

Love this!!
Nothing to worry or regreting.
Just be thankful that we ever know bitcoin,  just prove it,  get some and buys some assets or something than can improve our wealth in the real life.
And stay tuned on bitcoin

Well write, Absolutely you are right, i respect your opinion, and i also respect you because you give the courage to the people who forget and lose the confident to earn from bitcoin. Because they thought they have been late in bitcoin. But if they read your thread then of course they will get courage and start work with bitcoin with patience and discipline, then the day is not far when bitcoin make us rich.

The boat is not that far the dock. Regret is a luxury that we do not have. We continue forward we invest, we analyze, and with fortitude we continue to make money.
