What if, you had invested $100 in BTC (From 2010 to 2021)

[Clement Kaliyar]

In 2011, when I was writing my thesis, my older brother suggested that I invest $ 1,000 in bitcoins. It was so unclear to me where I should throw the money for which I could actually buy something for myself that I refused and only laughed at his offer. Now he jokes at me and often reminds me of this phrase "what if you listened to me?" Who would know how I hate these conversations! But from all such situations you need to learn a lesson and not be sad about it.

So how much your brother invested and he might be a millionaire by now if he invested when he was confident that it will be a successful market. I was holding a decent amount of coins till the last rally and unfortunately i sold majority of my holdings and did not purchase again at the right time and waited too long to invest again before this years rally, even though i am happy with the profit i am not happy with the way i missed the opportunity.

A new fashion for NFT has come and here I will not miss my chance to get rich!

As long as there is the hype you can make money, will see how many projects will last in the next five years.

When the price was around the value of 1000$,most of people fear to inverse to the new platform.Now the price of bitcoin crossed the value of 58k now.The people who had invested their money from 1k,they had got huge profit from now.Not all who brought got profit now.The people who had invested and hold till now had his profit now.

I also had that what if before but I knew to myself that just like the other nostalgic crypto posts about selling early like the famous Greg Schoen tweet.

I've probably have sold with a few hundreds of profit instead of holding just like those projections and comparison of amount that have rendered IF being put into bitcoin several years ago.

Same I know myself very well that even if I strongly believe in crypto I would surely sell it at some point before it even get to it's current ATH.
It is easier to be said but be honest most of us would really sell their Bitcoin before it even get this high since no one knew that it could get this high back then.

When I saw the current price of bitcoin, I had in mind why I didn't know when bitcoin was still at the price of 50 $ or 100 $, maybe I would be a millionaire if I knew bitcoin from the start, it's the same as when selling btc at 40k $ and now it's getting higher ,
if I invested 100 $ in early 2020 also I still get many times the profit but it was not maximal when we invested in the early days of bitcoin.
but that's how life is always never satisfied with the achievements that have been obtained.
being grateful is the best key to the income that has been obtained because if we look up we will never be enough and make lessons for mistakes that have ever been experienced

no one can be sure that something like what is happening today will actually happen when the price of Bitcoin is still below $ 100. We all can only speculate about future projections of Bitcoin, while the thing that can change everything is whether Bitcoin will be accepted or not by various elements of society. We all know that rejecting and accepting Bitcoin as legality has a huge impact on the price as well as the movement of the community.

Regret selling Bitcoin at a cheaper price, or doubting Bitcoin and not keeping the private key are the unfortunate things we should leave behind from now on. Cryptocurrencies are getting crazy now, not just Bitcoin, but many Altcoins are starting to go to the moon one by one.

At that rate, if we get around 0.001BTC, then today either the rate or the amount of BTC is the same. It's just that if it is converted to fiat or USDT, then we will find out how big the nominal value of the BTC is. If you intend to hold on for a while longer, you won't get profits yet. But if you sell it for example to USDT, of course this will happen more,
Especially someone with very strong fundamentals who can only hold strong coins. This was just the start of leaving the board and get some much money from that BTC profits so far.

One important observation is that if you bought Bitcoin in any given day between 2009 and 2020 you'd score big time.

Think about it. All buyers in their days had the same fears as you do. What if it goes down right after I buy? What if it never reaches a new high? And yet it always did! Maybe the good time to buy bitcoin is always?

The second thing i think about when reading post like yours is that we are all getting big profit but will we ever sell? I bought some time from now and did not sell when my profit was 5x, 10x 20x. At times I think if I will feel like selling when I'm at 100x my first investment. Will I choose fiat money or the feeling that my money is multiplying when I sleep .

Do not feel strange when you get an article in 5 years where the article indicates that if you had invested 500 dollars in BCH ¨Bitcoin Cash ¨ you would have 100,000 dollars or a very high figure remember that this is the newest of the BTC and Block network Chain and I think that in the medium term it will be close to the value of BTC and as we already know the currency that rises the most is BTC and the one that may be close would be DOGE COIN, that is my way of thinking.

Bitcoin Cash is something that I see very well and I think it will happen like in the article you published.

It is also relevant to review other data such as the number of active addresses on the network. Today we note that while the price increases with considerable force, the number of new users is not too encouraging.

Despite the fact that we have been seeing a fairly significant increase in the volume of transactions, it can be deduced that it is more a product of the emotion caused by the price rises, than of a healthy growth in the adoption of cryptocurrency.

Either way, BCH has managed to stay alive as one of Bitcoin's most important fork, and we won't see it suddenly disappear, at least not in the short term. Meanwhile, Bitcoin Cash will continue to capitalize on the bull run of the crypto ecosystem.

There are many what ifs and late realizations that are coming up into the minds of people now that we are currently seeing the improvement that have happened with Bitcoin. Ever since it was created way back 2009, only few have believed and too many have doubted on its capacity to grow and last for years. Now that we are having Bitcoin right in front of us with incredibly great price, many are saying "what if, I really regretted I haven't invested into Bitcoin at times," and many other things like that. It is now too late to play back time because late realizations will do nothing but regrets. What is the important thing is the present and the possible future right ahead of us. We must just nourish that and make things possible to not make the same mistakes and regrets we have in the past.

If I had invested $ 100 in bitcoin in 2010, I wouldn't have a chance to hold it until 2021. we have to evaluate everything according to its own time. A lot of people would have invested $ 100 back then and sold them at the end of 2017 for sure. Someone whose goal is solid, whose goal is real, who is focused on his goal would have only ever held it.

Correct. This is why we shouldn't regret anything. Imagine how many people sold BTCs in 2010 for pennies and now could have been millionaires. A simpler way would be HODLing. Coz you never know what the future might bring

[xiboothrezi]

as we know the volatility of bitcoin is very high, let alone one year, in just a matter of weeks or months there can be high price changes.  just take advantage of the opportunities that exist.  And please stop regretting it when you have sold it at a lower price before.  do not be greedy, and be grateful for your benefits.  stop behaving like a child because you can't get what you want, it will only spoil.  in holding crypto coins, there are only two possibilities: profit or loss, if you are lucky then be grateful because you are not caught in a loss.

[Rikafip]

To be honest, I hate those "if you invested xyz amount of money in bitcoin back in 2010 now you would have xyz millions".

First of all, it's not a good or healthy thing to look like that at the past and think "what if", as you are wasting your time that should be used for better things, like thinking what you can do now. 2nd, chances are that you would sell your bitcoin long before we reached these levels.

In the end, it might make some think that it's too late to invest now, since they probably won't become millionaires with a few dozens of dollars investment.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

In fact there is no one who will do that, if you are the real crypto user you will update how bitcoin price move be it per month or per year. In this case, if you bought bitcoin 2010 ago using $100 then at least you will have 100 bitcoin in your pocket. It means, when bitcoin price increase to $1000 then you will tend to tempted to sell it because you will already get a huge profit and I'll bet you will sell it.

More than that, at that time there is just a few countries who accept bitcoin and even there is no companies who accept it. So as the opportunity for you to sell your bitcoin that you had is widely open. Other than that, bitcoin was able to reach $20.000 2017 ago and fall sharply to $3500 at 2018 ago so as you will be carefull to holding it for lkng term investment.

Did people throw or toss btc around like it was nothing back then?  I always heard that people back then would buy some btc back then to gamble on sites and treated those coins like not much since well they were pennies or a dollar each.  Like imagine they want to buy 500 dollars worth of btc when btc is a dollar.  Then go to online casino and gambled with it or things like that.  Im sure tons of people treated btc like it was nothing back then right?



Also wouldn't that mean tons of people back then probably all had at least l00 btc at one point or more easily?  Like tons of people probably had l000 or l0000 btc when it was worth l0 cents each etc so they didn't treat it like anything?

I stumbled upon an article on Yahoo Finance, which really sparkled my interest, it's from February 2021. It is consisted of several scenarios, coming from the early days of 2010 until nowadays, 2021. I think that its performance is quite astonishing, even if you aren't an early adopter, those $100 could still be a great investment in the long run.

Starting from 2010, BTC's average price would be a few cents at most (The article mentions 6 cents per BTC), your $100 investment would now be worth $73.000.000 (BTC value $44.000, with current value of $50.000~ that would now be $82.843.920!)

Even in 2013, that Bitcoin was starting to gain in value (Approximately $600-700 each) your $100 would now be worth $7.800 (valued at $50.000).

What's interesting is that even throughout years 2017-2019 (Which is our very recent past), those $100 which is like a petty amount of investment, would lead to pretty decent profit, from such a petty amount.

Bitcoin was and still is one of the best investments someone could make, I strongly believe that there's still earning/investment potential. Sometimes I am thinking back and wonder what if? What if I had even bought $50 worth of BTC back in 2014, when I registered here, now I'd have a decent amount of money. I wish I had realized the potential back then, but I was too young. It's no time for regrets, we should keep going forward, in an effort to acquire as much knowledge we can, which can lead us to a new earning potential.

One most interesting and bad luck story of my life, In 2011 i purchase 11 BTC in $100 to my friend and sell into $200 after one month and very happy to get good profit.
Moreover I cant go back, but know we have a chance to buy ETH, BNB, etc..

[Mafdet]

Unfortunately In 2010 I was so young.But In 2018 I have invested my all saving.

Investing $100 in btc from 2010 has been a millionaire now  in 2021. We buy and sells on daily basis so we can not make money like others with holding power. People invested in 2010 has proven that holding for long term good projet can gives amazing profits.

That is if they had hodled bitcoin without being tempted to sell it at some point because there are points where bitcoin got good prices and I don't think that someone is going to let that kind of thing pass by. Someone who hodled back 2010 up to now deserves the profit because they have nerves of steel of a patience.

This statement makes me regret knowing bitcoin for no longer, but what I can do when something that should happen today is a condition when we still don't know and don't know what bitcoin is. Indeed, if you count regrets, you will not be able to accommodate millions of regrets. However, I am still grateful to be able to get to know bitcoin until this very second, because maybe outside there are still many people who don't know or don't even want to know about bitcoin. Being grateful for today's blessings of knowledge is much better than regretting something that was not necessarily in the year of bitcoin's creation.]

Why do you regret of something that you have really no idea to begin with?  It doesn't make sense, does it?  Oh well, I think majority of us would have sold that BTC when the first bull cycle appear. But yeah, BTC had grown so much that many of us are really astonished.  If ever I have bought $100 of Bitcoins way back 2010, probably I already sold them all during the 2013 bull run and I will be on the side watching how Bitcoin grow without regret... probably.
