My feelings after 11 years with crypto.

[Naughty Princess]

You are not alone.  I have heard similar stories from others. They sold their BTC too early. I also have a story of 7 years of cryptocurrency. I have used BTC as a payment method a lot of the time and I caught some BTC, which was earned from buying / selling digital products.  However, I spent BTC at that time. I could have made a lot of money if I had kept BTC.

If you've been in the space for as long as you say you have then it's quite weird to hear you say you've used it and look back and say you should have kept it.

Newbies tend to say it but we all know that if we don't use it and everyone just holds, BTC would never go up in value. You've been through 2 past rallies and now in third. Surely not the time for regret?

I think whatever changes on the value of BTC, there is always a regret and we mostly rant about it. When it is down, you regret not to sell when it has higher value but never try to buy some when it happened, then you gonna regret again when the price got higher but you dont not have any investment from it.
Every situation is an opportunity rather than regretting it, take it. Buy when you have to hold, then sell when you think you already have profit. Take risk, play the market.

It was your decision at that time, no point regretting real hard with what happened, you have to stand by that words. You and everyone didn't know that bitcoin will be a big thing in a decade so there is no point mulling over your past choices, it made you who you are today. It's not like it's too late to start over.

its true 'don't regret the past, back then I had BTC in 2017, if it was sold at this time how many times it was from the previous price. But I don't regret it's time to start over.

Hello everyone, today i want to tell you about my crypto-depression.
So in 2010 i was working in IT company and my friend from work told me about bitcoin mining.
Next day after this information i register on this forum and start mining coins, everything going perfect but bitcoin price was really low and unstable.
I was investing everything in gpu. Couple times i lost my fund's on scam-exchange but i still had a lot of "mining power".
In 2015 i quited my job and invest my whole savings in bitcoin, in that time i had more than 15 bitcoin's and gpu worth 20k$.
And after 2 or 3 week's everything fucked up, in same time i lost my job and my wife get sicked.
In Nov 2015 i selled everything but still i had -$$$$ to pay, so you probably asking why i made this post?

Now after 6 years i have biggest depression ever, if i only burrow money from somewhere 5 years ago and didnt sell my miners...

I have feelings that i lost my biggest life chance to get really rich and i just want to forget about crypto and work in normal work but it is impossible.
It's hurt much more if you can see that your old crypto-friend's get cars and houses from crypto profit, i wonder if someone have some feeling's as me.

You don't really have to blame yourself just move forward and invest again with an alternative cryptocurrency coin that has a good growth potential just like BTC in the future. I think giving up your full-time job and investing everything you have in BTC is the biggest mistake you've made. Besides, no one can really tell if BTC will succeed even if it will succeed it will take a very long time. So just invest you can afford to lose.

I guess the most of us could have been richting if we knew what would happen. I had also millions of Doge and a few BTC which I sold years ago. Now I could be millionaire but if thit while crypto thing failed I would be happy that I sold it on time.

It will just hurt and make us depress if we keep remembering the past. Seeing my past trading histories and how big was my holdings before makes me also regret that why I sold early so I just think of it in a positive way to lessen the sadness I feel because it helped my family a lot when we are struggling financially. We don't have a choice but to start again if we still trust the potential of cryptocurrencies in the future. Mass adoption is just beginning so cryptos that have really good projects have still got a lot of time to grow.

It's good that you did the healthy way of letting bygones be bygones, it wasn't our fault that we sold bitcoin at that time because we believed that it was the biggest point, and we don't know what is in store for the future of bitcoin. The important thing is that you are still on the market making bank.

But we don't, I mean that's the beauty of living without knowing what's going to happen in the future, you are excited what's going to be given to you. Imagine if we know what happens next, it will be boring because you can't be surprised anymore and depressing because we know how and when you are going to die.

[AbsentMinded]

No, you are not the loser, the situation that happened to you is more like life experience, you should not be deppresed of losing that opportunity, you should move on, you can't go back in time so you should search for your new opportunity to become rich.

[masphie]

Maybe your decision at that time was correct, Needs trumps everything.
For me, what you are doing is right. Wife is a priceless treasure.

It's not too late. Bitcoin can hit 100,000$ yet, as predictions say. All you need to do is to be patient and keep some holdings. Probably you won't see an insane gain over your investment like early investors did, but it's still possible to double your investment with bitcoin and grow a healthy financial life with crypto currency.
I think you shouldn't concentrate yourself too much on your past regrets or bad experiences other people had as a *crutch* for your own problems, because it won't help you overcome the challenges in your life anyway.

Crypto is the future and you can't just forget about it, because you will regret even more later for doing so.

Sorry for your loss. But it is better to move on and keep earning, or maybe buying, or anything else we can do with crypto. At least if OP and me, and other people missed chance in past, this time we're not missed it and can get any profit in cryptocurrency. We can do bounty campaign or maybe trading with low capital at first to start and have chance to gain profit from it.

[Rkss4]

I entered in cryptocurrencies market 2016 , now 2021 within my five years experience that cryptocurrencies business completely a risky business systems. If you have enough encourage to take risk then you should have enough profits.

Do not be stucked with your crypto depression and let it control your life. There's more to life than living in frustration. Let me remind you that you are not too late for crypto investments and you still have big opportunities to start investing again and this time make it work for you. Be patient if the price suddenly crash because it won't stay for that very long. Be ready for some losses because crypto is not just about profits taking but also losing your hard earned money.

Not really, I do regret some things I did in 2017 but less and less so. As long as you learn some of your experiences from mistakes and choose never to repeat them, you have already gained something valuable from it. I think if you or I joined late like in this rally, we would be making the mistakes today and learning them for the next rally:)

Don't give false hope to the OP, although there is sure one day that we will reach that price one day, but let the OP first move on from the regrets he had.
If we keep giving false hopes to the OP, it would just worsen his condition.

It is sad to hear such a story, but I think you are not alone in this grief. Actually, it is better to lose what was on the sale of cryptocurrency or completely skip this story and only after everything understand what could have been bought for 1000-3000 dollars bitcoin when there was such an opportunity and did not do it. And now regret it. I think the difference is not that big. In any case, you have received tremendous experience and you shouldn't stop there. Don't give up.

I sold bitcoins for $250 each years ago buy then I needed the money more then I do now. So back then it was a good decision so I don't regret it

Yep, I agree that you're not alone in this grief. We humans have some decisions at some point in our life that make us feel regretting and sometimes we think like we can't move from this. And having bad decisions, regretting stuff is all normal, we are just humans, we are not perfect and made mistakes and that what life is. I think all we can do is not doing it again, learn from our mistakes and give our best to be better or best version of our self. You just lose bitcoin not yourself, not your loved ones, and not your life. You still alive and kicking get a job, tried bitcoin again or do what you passionate about. Mistakes makes us better and stronger. Don't quit trying. Keep fighting!

[dark1234]

when one gets to know cryptocurrency it is very difficult to leave it; this is a fact of life that may be very touching and empathetic but we must be able to thank God to still be able to rise from that pain ... Take the lesson and continue to live life stronger because we believe that happiness is just one step ahead.
