Can not believe 5 years ago you could of bought one whole bitcoin for this much!

[Jating]

these kind of memory only brings pain and regret not because I didn't buy it but I can't afford it at the time. but in 2017 when I saw the price keep rising fast
I decided to buy some bitcoin it wasn't a whole bitcoin but a quarter of it and at the end of the year I made at least 500% of income. I'm sure a lot of people made
a lot of money that year.

No doubt that 2017 was the best year of our lives, it's the first bull run I witness and I was able to cash out a lot of profit that time that I already enjoyed now. I was able to possess things with the money I earned, that's combine from my trading activities and some bounty jobs that time.

I wish it will come back again but I know it could take time, so it's just a matter of time and I need to stay patient.

2017 is really a great stage and almost everyone earns a very high profit through crypto activities and converts into bitcoin but unfortunately, that phase is gone, I also hope that the light will return as you say but the air in the market is probably too disappointing although bitcoin has risen as expected. Altcoin is a place for us to make a profit in the past, right now it has become a swamp and locks our feet, bitcoin is like a burden on our shoulders, we are just sinking deeper and almost unable to breathe

2017 is an eye opener for majority of people here in this community. I mean this forum brought a lot of money for bounty hunters and signature campaigners that time. And it could be the biggest bull run that we all have seen yet. And people are very happy that time.

2017 started when the price is ~$1k, and if you have the chance to get at least a full BTC, then you made a huge profit at the end of the year. And it also paved the way that bitcoin isa great asset at the same them it could go a massive bubble. So it's a good year for everyone, but I'm sure it can be replicated in 2020 or 2021, specially when the block halving is completed next year.

Go back further in time to 2009-2010 and you might get super depressed on how cheap bitcoin was.  I often think about it myself and what I was doing at the time.  Really unfortunate that I didn't stumble across bitcoin in the early days.

We have all missed out of that opportunity either through ignorance, lack of trust or lack of awareness and that is gone already, there is nothing we can do to turn back the hands of time, all we can just do now, Is to look at the present opportunity and look at another 5 years more into the future, what are we going to be saying then now that we know.

In the next 5 years when bitcoin turns to like $100,000, are we still going to be saying the same thing we are saying now, or would our future people be praising us for taking that right decision when many of us is wallowing in money? So, we might have missed those years but now is our own year and we can still make it right by making some investment in bitcoin right now no matter what even if we don’t have up to 1 BTC.

I think that ignorance and lack of trust were main reasons why many didn't get involved in Bitcoin sooner. On the other hand we have to admit that it was hard to predict how situation will develope.
But it's not good to regret now, there is no use in it. We have to use current situation as best as we can and not mis opportunities that are offered to us now.

For $651~ you could of got yourself a shiny whole bitcoin on coinbase plus their $6.66 fee.
I wouldnt of mind paying this fee on top regardless.
Even if they were asking 10% of the purchase amount at the time which is probably more by now.

We all have regrets finding how Bitcoin started and price where it starts, I too have a lot of regrets not buying bitcoin when it was only traded at $400 level, I thought that it's expensive att hat time to buy one whole Bitcoin until I realized I was all wrong and I have underestimated it's potential in the market.

My advice to those coming in now, don't ever think that Bitcoin is expensive when you first saw it's price because we never it's full potential in the future, you don't want to get caught by surprise, like what happened to me.

[xvids]

Well who would have thought that Bitcoin price would hit this high.
Back then I thought that it was already expensive and that it already hit it's highest price.
Such a shame I didn't try to hold as much as I could or buy as much as I could back then.

Lots of us do missed out that train and now keeps on regretting but well its no point on minding too much on our past mistakes.
No one can predict the future that's why these kind of missed opportunities are inevitable and to those who highly believed on bitcoins
potential are the ones who do get the reward when prices hits up some god prices but actually its not too late even though accumulating 1
whole bitcoin isn't really that cheap anymore.

We missed many chances to make a fortune with cryptocurrencies. After Bitcoin, Ethereum and so many powerful cryptocurrencies launched their ICOs and many people earned a good amount by just hunting their bounties, or investing small amounts during the sale. Now the chance is lower, because the number of promising projects is decreasing.

We should keep ourselves motivated and optimistic. I do believe that many opportunities are ahead of cryptocurrencies. Sooner, projects like ICO, IEO, or whatsoever they are caled will boom again just like what happened in 2017. Although we can't expect that it'll drop to low value again same as value 5 years ago so we could buy back, we can still make alternative way to earn in this sideways and bullish market.

I joined this forum for the first time in 2012. Back then the exchange rate was around $4 per coin and although there were a few threads claiming that Bitcoin is eventually going to hit $1,000 per coin, or even $100,000 per coin, most of the users regarded such predictions as loonacy. During 2011-12 and even during the first quarter of 2013, the exchange rates were pretty stable and no one thought that it would rise so sharply during the second half of 2013.

From what I can see, both the groups of crypto investors have regret regarding the decisions made during that time. Those who made some investment (like me) are sad because we think that we should have purchased more coins. And those who didn't purchased any coins back then (2011-2012) are mad at missing the opportunity.

No one can predict with right what will happen in the future. Same as what happened in 2012, people cannot believe if bitcoin can rise more than $3000 or even it increased so high in 2017. I think that is happening right now because people do not think that bitcoin can grow more than $20k and they only give predictions. But for people who believe that bitcoin can reach the highest price again, they will still hold their bitcoin and still buying a lot of bitcoin from now because they don't want to miss a chance to become the wealthiest person.

so true, 2017 is the best year of cryptocurrencies, I can even buy a car from the sale of ICO coins that I invested.

even though I must wait for 2 years, 5 years and even the next 10 years, I strongly believe that the price of Bitcoin will definitely rise again..  I will continue to HODL my Bitcoins and continue to increase the amount of my stored Bitcoin...  The whales will not be able to hold the price of Bitcoin longer, one day they will definitely PUMP on Bitcoin and make them profit again.

[Rustamm]

This example shows us that we cannot predict the future, so at some points we should just believe, hope and wait. For example, I believe that the price of BTC will be about $100,000 and someone will create a similar topic with a screenshot showing the price of $9500 and everyone will remember this time as very good for buying BTC at such a low price.

You still considered yourself to be lucky yet you had able to know Bitcoin earlier and consider on buying up some into its earliest years.Its better than to those who didn't even
think to purchase some of it.Im a little bit late when I do jump to this market where btc is already priced up $200 as far as I remember and I haven't thought on its future price but since I'm still a student I don't have much the capability on buying yet that price isn't really that simple to save on just to purchase for future investment and heck no one would really expect on what would be the future of BTC since I do still have doubts in the past in relation to it but now those thoughts and presumptions do still give me up some feelings of regrets.

Well, scams and still numbers of ICOs are some of the reasons why ICOs are decreasing and it is true that you willnever again duplicate that history since you can't make a crypto so high again like those cryptos. For now I will just hold, who knows that it might still be doable, it might still happen, again.

[TrevorS]

Guess we all have similar stories. The funny thing is that at the time of the sale, most of us did not suspect what would happen to Bitcoin in the future, and considered the current transaction extremely successful.
Post factum is much easier to analyze events, but the choice is the choice, it cannot be undone.

Or those who have been here five years ago or at least know BTCitcoin doesn't have a clue as to how it will turn out in the future.

But it's not late, there's still a lot of bitcoin that is going to be mine in the future and we all have the equal chance of getting it at some point in time. No need to live in the past, we should all move forward and take every situation at out advantage and just continue to accumulate in the next coming years.

[xSkylarx]

When I started to learn about bitcoin 3 years ago its price was about 400$. That time many people in our country is hyped earning it because investment/doubler websites are popular those days. You just invest and wait for your profit to be received on your wallet. Some people are even willing to risk $1k until time passes and the scam increases that only the 1st batch of investors benefits from those websites. Some are wise and get their pockets full but there are also greedy people who thinks it will last forever and will make them rich.

Already Bitcoin is trading at a return of 10 million times. Back in 2010, the exchange rate was $0.001 per coin (in New Liberty Standard). The current exchange rate stand at $10,000 per coin. But I don't understand why users want to go back to 2014 or 2015. Why not go back to 2010? Or even 2011, when the exchange rate was still very low at $0.1 per coin?

For me, this is one of the reasons why many people got addicted to bitcoin and those ppl who invest in bitcoin without any knowledge about it and just want to make some easy money. I remember that my friend refers me to this kind of technology ( bitcoin), but first I'm not that interested because in our country you can't buy bitcoin even using a blockchain because of inadequate of support, you can just obtain bitcoin by mining, gambling and some freebies to some sites. In those years earning and getting bitcoin is illegal, but when the time that some companies support bitcoin and create an exchanger, I become a bitcoin user.
