Your biggest bitcoin regrets?

[s0beit]

I do regret because year 2011 i entered bitcoin but i did not invest on it. That is why i ask question to my self that why did not buy bitcoin that year now bitcoin are high.

Selling 100,000 bitcoins for £400,000... And Holding a further 100,000 on Mtgox that were lost forever in the hack

Obviously at the time £400k was a lot of money and I paid less than £30,000 for them about a year earlier.

That is a huge money loss and if you will sell it now then it will cost millions and that is the biggest regret that i can have and if i were i will just always think about it before sleeping at the night and i will always blame my self for losing that can of big opportunity.

Almost everyone of us who know the capabilities of bitcoin as a valued cryptocurrency regrets that we do not make any risk in investing or saving it.  In your case that you knew or using bitcoin as early as 2011 because i came to know bitcoin only on 2015.  All of us as of this time that bitcoin price is high regret the fact that we do not make use all its usefulness just like money.  Even those people who have huge amount of bitcoin uses it just to buy cards for games would not know and would not have any idea on how it will become so valuable just like gold and oil.  What we could do now is to do whatever we can to maximize its capabilities.

I knew about bitcoin in 2010, but I was sure it would flop, so I didn't care. Also not keeping the ones I bought when the price was 400$.

And now I regret I gambled them away, several times..... Damn

[cryptosort]

Without "not getting in sooner" , probably that i lost some coins in beginning, i invested without learning, like first invest experience was like buy,buy,buy,buy.. but know i have learned lot about market and i'm confident what i do

Guess not buying Bitcoin earlier. I knew about Bitcoin in 2013 from a BBC program. I didn't pay too much attention because I thought it was some sort of hacking software. If I had bought then it would have worth a lot today.

Actually the biggest regret I done is trading of bitcoin. I know that $1,750 is so high price compare ti the previous price so I sell my bitcoin then when I check i  another day the price it reack $2,500. I' m very disappointed for what I done. If I wait more days I can get more profit same with the others.

And when I start when bitcoin was discovered I think I'm rich now. As of now I started to know more about bitcoin to make more ways to earn a bitcoin.

I can understand your feelings.
I had similar experience to.
I heard about btc from a friend also around 2013 but didn't think it's serious thing.
I joined a year later when I heard how much he earned with bitcoin.
Other regret is that I spend some of my btc on some HYIP programs, which failed.
Now, when I see btc price, I really regret.

[nightxglow]

My biggest regret is being lazy and not earning bitcoin seriously. Also spending my bitcoin uselessly instead of saving it.
Ah! Also not buying bitcoin while the price is low and investing it
If i did that, i would already many bitcoin now... And big profit... Since the price is higher day by day.

selling at the wrong time, buying at the wrong time

I've always experienced that, all decisions that I make wasn't good. As far as I know, that's only a minor decision. Lesson that I've learned, think it carefully. But it doen'st mean you're a failure person. All of us could make a wrong decision then after that, we learned from that so we can't do the same. It's good to manage our regrets. For us, it was just an experienced.

Not inventing it.

Probably my biggest regret, I do not buy in bulk when the price is low. Well, I started selling bitcoins that I had when the price exceeded $ 700. Well, I should be more patient in this case.

I loaned a friend some money a year ago. He offered to pay me back in bitcoin around March, I declined as I didn't really feel it was worth it so I took the cash.

I don't want to even think about the rest...

I'm now getting into it because of this friend.

[Scorpion]

I knew about Bitcoin when it was $3 a piece. I regret I wasn't more motivated and knowledgeable to get more Bitcoin back then.

[ethereumhunter]

i think its not biggest regrets that is happen in yesterday when i see bitcoin price is gets dump into $16xx and i am not buying bitcoin and i think i missed that time so now i can not sell it to get profit. i think our regret is not join into bitcoin world as soon as we can because we need to convinve ourself that bitcoin is really a way to make money.

I was doing business at some marketplace and opposing site offered btc payments, I've refused their offer back then. If I'd accept that offer I'd be living another life lol.

Like most of us here i tried to be a trader and sold to early, waiting to long to buy etc. etc.
Luckily that was years ago and now i can happily say I don't try to be a trader.

Buy, Hold, Moon, Cash out investment. Repeat.

I dont really get your point actually, because you are claiming that you have entered bitcoin world back in 2011, but you didnt make any investment in it.
How is that possible?
I have always thought that if you are "getting into" bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency, you are probably willing to spend some money for that purpose: even for really small amounts of coins, but that is still something.

Well, but getting back to topic I think that my biggest regret is that I have decided to sell a big part of my coins in a bad moment, I was liquidating them somewhere around 1300-1500$ price, because I didnt really expect higher returns from that: but bitcoin went straight to the skies, and reached even 2800$! I felt sad that day, but all I can do is just be careful a little bit more and try to book some profits once again
