[sir.humus]

What are some of your biggest bitcoin regrets, and what were you thinking back then?

Besides "not getting in sooner"  


Obligatory: BFL  


EDIT: Bitcoin "mistakes" go here =)

The topic of "What are the biggest mistakes you've done with Bitcoin?" have no replies for almost three years.
Should I reply in it and bounce it up or should I open a new topic?

I cashed them out too early back in 2011  

How much bitcoin you've sold in 2011?? just wondering, i heard that the price 1 dollars each on febuary 2011 my goodness i couldn't imagine if i had purchased 100 dollars in bitcoin i would've been rich by doing so.
Well maybe this is my biggest bitcoin regrets, too late knowing the bitcoin.

I sold more than 100. It was the 1st bubble I think. I gave them for $20 something per each:-\

That's really a sad and frustrating history of yours with bitcoin. But good thing that you are still earn and I'm pretty sure that you are still holding a lot of them and trying to be wiser now. Even if I am in your shoes I will probably do the same as the community is still not that broad by that time, I just wish that I bought a lot of it way back then.

Awhile back I was part of the Yobit signature campaign. I had been in it for awhile, and had some bitcoins stored on their site that I had not transferred to my bitcoin wallet yet. In order to get onto your Yobit account,

you need 2fa security. However I got a new phone, and that information didn't carry over, so I could no longer get the code needed to sign into my Yobit account. Not only was the money in my account lost, but I was

no longer able to be in the signature campaign.

my biggest regret is that I did not join the Bitcoin world sooner. I had known Bitcoin for a year and a half before I started to use them. It is really sad you know. If I had joined the Bitcoin world sooner, I would have obtained more than 100 bitcoin right now poor me

My regrets will be when I could have invested my iPhone 4 32GB($299) in 2010 into Bitcoin which was selling at $0.08 at the time. I could have bought 3737.5 Bitcoins and seven digits rich by now. I could have also invested in my mining Bitcoins then which I didn't.

My biggest regret is when interested in investing in ponzi site. When I was still a beginner and don't know about Ponzi investment site. so when I know I am regret because I put a big amount and then a few hours after I invest, the site is a scam

but am happy i am among the users and learning from it as well.

In 2012 I invest large sum of my money in some crap though I've already known of bitcoin

[topesis]

My Biggest regret was not researching BTC enough when I first saw it, I thought it was some different in 2011, but never late than never, I glad I know and understand BTC now and has been one of my best investment decisions to invest into BTC last year

[canhchuacaro1]

my regret is that I was not introduced to bitcoin in the earlier years so maybe if I knew bitcoin since a year ago I could have save a lot up to now also I regretted that I converted all my past earnings from the past I have no choice but to do it so as I really need an extra money so badly
Also before i do not know that bitcoin can be increase the amount from above 1k i thought the price of bitcoin will just stay at 300 value but after searching for other forum and read many thread i saw that bitcoin is increasing the value every year.. and now i am regretting what i have done before with bitcoin..

That would be everyone's regret in this forum.The people who adapted bitcoin earlier made a good fortune with the amount of coins they collected during the initial stages and that cannot be replicated ,so accept the fact and moving on is the only solution here.

no , i doubt you will acquire even for 10 dollar if you were in 2009!
there only few early adopter that keep believing in bitcoin ,
and they are deserve to get a lot of profit up to million dollar ,
just from a small investment, i doubt you can do what an early adopter did.

Lol if time could be in the back of course I would choose to be the creator of bitcoin before satoshi Nakamoto, but it was impossible. never too late if you want to work hard to earn bitcoin

[Doms]

I wouldn't consider this as a regret, but more of a learning experience. Before, I wanted to have as much bitcoin as I could and I resorted to trading altcoins even if I have not done a lot of research before. I got burned in a few of my trades and have not really found time to recover my losses via trading. Lesson learned for me is to just hold and wait for the price to increase if you can't devote enough time for trading.

[Mr.grin]

Most regret that occurs due to late selling bitcoin. Well, I always thought that the price of bitcoin will rise high, but, when it happens, I always expect a higher price. because of it, I hold bitcoin I have a little longer, and it really makes me sorry when bitcoin prices down very quickly.

My biggest bitcoin regrets is investing on doubler sites such as HYIP that turns into Ponzi scheme. I have been tempted to entrust my coins with them just to earn big profit is fastest way. But the very important is I've learned from it.

This regret came onto my mind in the meantime and this is a shut out to everyone to look out for: when I created my first online wallet, it was in a site that seemed alright. Had proper authentication process, premium GUI...etc. and my first few transactions arrived well into my balance. Problems started when I had to send BTC to other addresses. I had to figure out that this site was a dirty one. I could not change transaction fee and site added hilariously high transaction fee to each transaction. So I lost a high amount of BTC until I saved out the remaining part into other wallets.

Same for me that i regret but the most that i am regretting is not buying more bitcoins before when the price is below $300 when i have lots of capital in my own business because of confused to try bitcoin before because the price is not stable and many scam attempt happen i just ignore to invest instead looking for small task to earn few bitcoins that i really expect that the price will be increase high..

Think of it as money that you have gambled away.
At least, you got some entertainment out of it.
The only difference being - at a casino, you might have had a chance of winning. With doubler sites, you had none.

Selling is my biggest regret. These days I hold on to them whenever I get them because I believe bitcoin has an unknown amount of great potential.
