If bitcoin price had not crashed in 2018

[john_nautica]

Our experience is full of ups and downs the same on how the crypto market works. Don't blame anyone on what happened to you instead use your experience in order to make a better decision in the future and what is good, it is not yet the end of your journey in investing to crypto as everyday is your chance to profit if you are still continuing to buy bitcoin or other crypto that have the potential to grow in the future.

With regards to your regrets, don't worry as you are not the only one who experience it as many are also doing the same to your action especially when the bear season occurred as many were afraid that the bitcoin will die and it's value will gone but now they fully regret their decision especially if they were unable to buy bitcoin again.

For most people buying Bitcoin is not an option, because they can barely make the ends meet with low income and high prices on everything. What they can do is start earning BTC in their free time, little by little. And, who knows, maybe today's $50 in BTC can become $1,000 one day? Earn and Hodl, guys. Earn and Hodl.

If the price hasn't crashed now I could've had got good number of ethereum in my wallet. Once the price crashed all the scheduled plans failed and I was pushed to cashout the ethereum kept for long term holding. Anyhow now too it isn't too late. A small savings in terms of cryptocurrency will get assured return in the long term.

For me, I think it is necessary for Bitcoin to have a major crash in 2018 because of the market’s immaturity (thanks to the ICO hype that lacks regulation). I do however, agree the fact that if the market was more matured like what it does today, I bet we have reached new heights and a lot of people may become Bitcoin millionaires or so.

Yep completely agree, in 2017 everyday we saw new icos and projects that want to get big funding and people saw that as a quick flip scheme, participate in the ico and sell immidiately when the token get listed on some exchange. People that don't even know what blockchain is keep buying crypto with purpose to get rich quick and i am glad that the crash happened as it's becoming out of control back then. The one that still believe in crypto keep accumulating and now the market is more mature and healthy than before.

That's what I like about the current situation: it's not only that we have reached higher heights than back in 2017, but indeed it's happening when the market is more mature. I remember reading, when we crashed from $19k to below $4k, analysts saying that the price, $19k+, was insanity, and that we'll never see an ATH agian. And yet here we are, at $47k+ at the moment.

The Bitcoin boom that took place in 2017 which lasted to early 2018, if it Market has not crashed then, indeed  Bitcoin would have made lots of young millionaires than what we have today.

...

Nope, you can only say that because we have this new ATH now but if we are just experiencing a market crash after 2020 Bullrun, I don't think what you can say.

The market really overwhelming but I don't believe that everyone is happy about this, coz it for sure, many was praying now that this bullish season will be done one day. I keep hearing people saying "what if I hold my Bitcoin since last year? I'm rich now...But what if the market dumps? Then they'll be saying I miss it, so bad I don't sell it during its ATH".

If Bitcoin did not crash in 2018, maybe we can't experience like this.

I also sold my Bitcoin in 2018 when Bitcoin prices crashed, but not because I needed money at the time. But because I thought Bitcoin would die
and become worthless, that's the biggest mistake I've made. At that time I should have believed in Bitcoin, and did not sell Bitcoin in 2018 for sure
now I am already rich. But it's useless to keep in mind, I have to move on from the mistakes I have made. And there's no need to blame anyone
if we finally sell Bitcoin in 2018, because that's the way of life we really have to go through. It is better for us to think about the future than to
keep remembering the past.

If no such thing happened, the crash might occurred in a different year simply because such thing is inevitable in this market or even in stocks. Demand and supply plays a major role in the market value of cryptos and you cannot control people to engage continuously into something. There are differences with regards to their decisions in their investments, and we are also undergoing different circumstances. It is not also true that if no crash happened, many people will be millionaires at this moment given that the price will not continuously increase in a consistent manner.

I started the journey into cryptocurrency 2017 through this forum and I sell a little part of the money I realized from participating in Bounties while saving the rest in Bitcoin and seriously you asking me about it today I will tell you that is the best decision I have made so far in something investment

[franciscoDC]

I think everything happen for a reason ,and im so sad that you need to sell bitcoin early for your necessity and also i experienced what you had experienced too i sell my bitcoin when the times of needs is there and i feel regret for what i've done now coz the price of bitcoin now is absolutely high than ever before and i have a doubt that i dont have any amount of bitcoin.

Stop looking for who and where to put your blame on, rather you should be working hard. It’s not everyone that is born with the silver spoon in their mouths, some people had to work really hard to change their lives for the better and our can also do the same . Try to sit down and think everyday of what you can do to make your life better and when you have got a good idea you should start working towards that and working hard until your life improves.

Moreover you’re not the only one that lost money, you should have known how volatile the market is and kept an eye on it to know when things are going the direction you wouldn’t like. My friend also invested then but I told him to leave the assets and start working hard because there is no need selling it in loss. Finally he has been able to make the profit.

Back when BTC hit $19k in December 2017, a friend of mine, for whom I created a wallet and gave $7 in BTC earlier, seeing that it turned into $15, asked me whether it was worth investing at that point, and I said no. I was right in a way, but now it's funny to see that if he invested $1k back then(he could afford that at the time), and was holding till this day, he could have made a decent profit.

[Mr.sprin]

2017 was the worst year for bitcoin and at that time many people lost faith in bitcoin and they sold bitcoin, arrived in 2020 bitcoin went up again and the price changed drastically many of those who had sold bitcoin grew regret this is how the market can change at once.

The price of bitcoin or ethereum cannot be adjusted for every person who, moreover, did not make every effort to become rich. Each of us would act in a completely different way if we could go back in time ten years ago. However, time cannot be turned back. We need to learn from the past, think about the future, and live in the present.

People who had continued to hold even fraction of the btc from earlier period would be glad to see that they have made a very good return and those who continues to believe in bitcoin and its success growth story for future as well will make money in coming years as well. It’s going to be a volatile ride just past years but probably should be better as now we have institutions lined up to buy bitcoins.

Hopefully we'll see a crash like that but highly unlikely

The Bitcoin boom that took place in 2017 which lasted to early 2018, if it Market has not crashed then, indeed  Bitcoin would have made lots of young millionaires than what we have today.

The beneficiaries of this current boom are mostly the rich!

Am using myself and that of my friends as a case of study.
In year 2015 we were schooling then, and there was no money for us to invest, we wanted to invest in bitcoin for future purpose, we saw the potentials of bitcoin and what it outcome will be in years to come, I remembered selling my TV and some other household items, and my friend also selling his musical instruments to invest in bitcoin. We were happy doing this because we believe in the future.

In 2017 during the first bullrun, we couldn't sell any of our assets because we were still schooling, the primary purpose of our investment was to have something to live on after our education, but fortunately the market crashed before we could graduate.

And after our graduation from school we couldn't help it, we needed to start a new life, hence selling our assets were the only option.

It hurts these days seeing the price of Bitcoin going higher and higher.....
Sometimes I just look out for what to put the blame on, If I should put it on the government, because if there was job available after our education we wouldn't have sold our assets, or if I should put the blame on heritage. of course if we had come from a wealthy background, we would have be rich and there won't have been any need for selling our assets, rather we would have bought more.

Something it looks frustrating, and I know am not the only one that has had this experience.

I will like appreciate if you can share your experience so far here with us.!

I still remember that scene.  Right near the Lunar New Year, major accidents pulled bitcoin down.  ICOs are largely doomed by Chinese and Indian regulations.  We can not have "if" to represent the shortfall but in fact, there is too much regret.  Anyway, 2021 is a year we are rewarded by tangible factors. 
Therefore, we have a new ATh of 58k $ and then maybe 80k $.  It was a long process, but we won.

Today bitcoin position is so high and look back at e017 . Those who buy bitcoin and hold them that become millionaire . If bitcoin  had not crushed at 2018  i think more  people will be rich now because many people sold their BTC as they thought bitcoin will never be up again.But who hold them that crushal moment they are now milliniore .

Yeah, an awful story to read. You must feel so much regret for selling. It teaches people that hold on to what they believe in. If they think that cryptocurrencies or other things will be "valuable" then it worths holding on. As you said during life we all face some hardships which is hard to pass without giving away something. In your case it was Bitcoin. Yeah if the boom could have happened 2 years later in 2017 then it could be so much different for you. It was the case for many early adopters.
