BTC was a lifetime chance and I don't think we will see a similar opportunity

[milani]

I don't imagine anything else that you'll be able to get for free or pennies and then value million times more. I just can't. No lottery will ever give you that. I admire the early adopters and wish I've been one of them, unfortunately no "friend" told me about it and I only joined in 2013 when I've found about it alone, still not bad but could have been better.

Not only early adopters got high profit thanks to investment into Bitcoin. Of course those who did it at the very beginning nowadays they have got good results, at least those who holded and had the access to their wallets))) but if you had learned about Bitcoin in from your friends earlier than in 2013 you would might be too sceptic or just not ready to accept this information like lots of people were those period of time in the past)))

Likely.

As bitcoin's price gotten higher, we might finally say that it's too late for a newbie to invest on it. And we that we have it a few years back had always heard that it's never too late.

But that's a sad day if it comes when it's too high and if someone asks and the answer would be, too late.

[isaac_clarke22]

Well I would wish the same, OP.
But it doesn't mean I would regret that I am here now rather than I regret not doing it back in 2017 .

I guess it isn't that bad at all that I was late to know the existence of Bitcoin, because there aren't that much means of buying it anyway in my country since I don't use credit/debit cards to provide myself one from popular exchanges like Coinbase anyway. Unlike today, I could just walk up to my convenience store and just scan a barcode to buy myself a BTC.

I thought this to myself hundreds of times that we will not have anything similar to Bitcoins in terms of ROI neither people before us but who knows. God is great and life can surprise us in a way nobody expects. Maybe a pill will be invesnted to keep us young for very long time, maybe teleportation will be invested soon or something even greater than these thing above.
meanwhile all we have to do is just enjoy our Bitcoin journey. at this moment it is one in a lifetime event for us

Good thing for you that you do able to get or been aware of this market in year 2013.Whom do really thought that this market will really boom up in a decades time?
We do all have those kind of emotion of regret that we should have at least deal with bitcoin when it was just cheap and now we had just missed out the opportunity
but honestly theres no point on having this kind of thinking because it will really just stress you out.

[pixie85]

We are all early adopters of bitcoin even if we are not in era of bitcoin airdrop but we still meet it early development and most of those that received bitcoin airdrop may have sold it when it got to $0.50 that is a long time ago.

You are right. We are all early in the game and being early does not guarantee big profit.

There are screenshots of people's tweets and posts about how they sold their coins when they reached 3x or 5x profit on their sub $10 bitcoin investment. Would you rather be one of those people OP?

I'd prefer to have joined in 2019 and held than in 2010 and sold after a year.

I also think that I am very lucky to be able to get to know Bitcoin in my life, which might just be the chance of my lifetime. Therefore I am
sometimes jealous of early adopters who are lucky to be able to buy Bitcoin at low prices. But that doesn't mean buying Bitcoin in 2021 is late,
because we see the potential for Bitcoin, which might increase its price much higher in the next 10 years. If it is true Bitcoin will be much more
expensive in the future, means buying now is not late. Therefore,  even though the price of Bitcoin is very expensive right now, I am not desperate
to continue to collect as much Bitcoin as I can afford. Hopefully the predictions of many people are correct, that the price of Bitcoin can go up
very high in the future.

This is beyond my imagination. When the price of $ 20k in 2017 made everyone really think about BTC or that it was a bubble. But everything seems to have separated from messages of its true nature. Bitcoin now crosses boundaries to become a thousand-dollar asset that anyone craves to own. Coming late but maybe still in time to have a little.

[doctor877]

its always a good chance to have found out early but i believe no time is late for anyone who can hodl for long. one thing that bitcoin does is to present opportunities to buy everytime. as long as this will continue to happen, then everyone will still have the opportunity of buying bitcoin and hold by choice. its indeed a rare lifetime opportunity.

Well,some stocks can have similar price patterns.Tesla stocks were valued at around $60 three years ago,now they have a price of around $850.This is 12 times price growth.It's not the same as Bitcoin or ethereum,but it's still pretty significant price growth for such a short time frame.
I was in the same situation as you.Nobody told me about Bitcoin.I discovered it in 2012,when a website called Twiends was accepting BTC payments.I thought that this is some kind of scam and didn't pay any attention.
I got truly involved in BTC,when I discovered this forum in 2015.

[Wexnident]

It is kinda true, but the idea of starting from pennies to going to millions could still come from other ideas, but it just takes more effort and the like probably. I'd have to agree that there'd probably be nothing else like Bitcoin, where you could've just held a few BTC back then and waited for a decade to earn millions, but presenting and developing something yourself could also provide such an opportunity. Still, being early doesn't really guarantee profit, heck a lot of people probably regret about selling their BTC's for pennies back then, but hey, those are in the end just what if's now.

[poodle63]

similar opportunity might arise but definitely not as explosive as bitcoin's price rise. People back then who knew apple stock after finding out the stock has gone to the moon saying it's only once in a lifetime opportunity turns out there are a lot more similar stocks that skyrocket just like apple stock, but right now we have crypto, maybe in the future we gonna see some potential coin that could atleast rise as much as bitcoin has. it's just matter of finding another opportunity. but of course it's not gonna be as easy as finding stone on the ground.

Joining at 2013, you can still be considered as one of the pioneers with Bitcoin and if you were able to gather as much as BTC as possible as most probably you are already seeing the delicious fruits of your labor or hard work right now. I am sure that not many of us here in this forum are lucky enough to have saved a lot of BTC and there can be some who unfortunately gave up when the value of BTC was at the doldrums. Now, that is it surely rising and valuable, many of us may have some regrets. Anyway, I am happy for you. I do consider Bitcoin as a great opportunity to participate in a big revolution and whenever there can be sweeping changes those who are toiling are always getting the benefits later.

and we found it with ETH too. there will be another pretty sure it will be looked at negatively by other users but they are going to still rise. ADA seems to be stable but fud spread for this project. i'm not sure if this is going to work for them but i better buy a ticket to the ride before i lose the opportunity. BSC is getting huge too.

BTC was more than $250 when i finally decide to try it. sure enough, i manage to grab a few. an opportunity lost when i already heard BTC when it was just starting in 2009.

[Trinx01]

You are already lucky that you have discovered bitcoin year 2013, unlike to so many newcomers of the crypto world wherein they only discovered bitcoin just a months ago or a year ago just like me, I not into technology so I don't even have the chance to discover cryptocurrency, I am just thankful to my friend who introduced me to this community. This is a good opportunity for everyone who discovers bitcoin, there is no late here because cryptocurrency will never get end.

you shouldn't admire any adopters becasue you were early on the technology, 2013 was still very much early for those who went into the technology comparing to those who just made their first step into the technology. Even those who made it into the technology around the 2017 still very much early except when the price skyrocketed and crashed back again before some of us find their way in. I standing before you went into the industry somewhere around 2018 and have made something good for my future and that of my family, basically, there's always a chance for everybody even those yet to venture into this opportunity.

That's what I thought too, I mean 2013 is a good year because the prices weren't as big as 2016, no sense wallowing about the things that you didn't do in the past. The important thing is that you are still here and you are reaping the benefits of bitcoin, just be grateful because there aren't a lot of people that knows about bitcoin and yet here you are getting financially stable. I really am grateful to my friends for introducing this to me because if it weren't the case, I wouldn't be able to buy the things that I really want to buy.

I have to admit that it is strange for someone to talk about 2013 as something that was too late, in this case for cheap BTC - but considering that OP registered on the forum at the end of that year at a time when the price was around $1000, which was then a really big deal. That year was really fruitful, because at the beginning of the year the price of 1 BTC was only $22 and the jump to as much as $1000 was amazing.

Of course everyone would wish they had been able to buy 100 BTC for $100, but is anyone other than ourselves to blame for this not happening? Let's not be greedy, especially those who learned about BTC 5+ years ago, because anyone could easily accumulate at least 1-2 BTC to date, even if it was just a claim on faucets or participating in signature campaigns - let's consider ourselves lucky for this opportunity.

[J1mb0]

Yes, this is an almost never second chance, many lucky people have become millionaires because of bitcoin.
However, there are still a lot of new coins and they are very cheap, if we can choose correctly then everyone can still make a great deal.

that's the point, be grateful for the current growth of bitcoin, and we can still be in a healthy state. able to contribute tirelessly. we've come a long way to get here. then you will really not get anything if you are not grateful. because many people out there still want to know bitcoin but no one guides them. and we, as active players who still interact with bitcoin, should provide education related to bitcoin in the way we understand it so far.

So far, we are very grateful to have received great benefits from bitcoin, buying a house, getting married, having a vacation and most importantly all for the intervention of services from Bitcoin.
