My feelings after 11 years with crypto.

[Brandon]

In 2015 you only had 15 BTC after mining for the last five years? So you only had less than $7000 worth of BTC and $20k GPU?
Sorry my friend OP but you are not a person who started in 2010.

You ask a good question, because it really seems that someone who has been a miner for 5 years should mine a lot more than just 15 BTC, but the OP still says that he had losses on several occasions on scam crypto exchanges - although then it can be concluded that he lost almost everything given that mining was much more profitable at the time - the first 4 years the reward for each block was as much as 50 BTC. 

It is possible that he was also one of the victims of the greatest crypto tragedy Mt.Gox - but there may be a possible surprise for him, if of course he is among those who demanded compensation.

Yep he didnt even read my post and make offensive comment. As i said i mined more btc but invested a lot.

You could be rich now and have a big house and fast cars same as you friends but you won't be happy and regret the times that you don't sold everything to save your wife from that sickness . if we are in the same situation we will also choose to save our love ones over money and physical things because they are more important and there's only one life .
 it's hard to move on if you will remember your bad memories but you can engage again in cryptos if this makes you feel better .

This saddens my heart though but I will like to ask if I can get an answer that why did you quit your job? many people somewhere on this planet have sold off their one-time investment in bitcoin at least if not up to five thread that I have read something related to it. Life goes on you just have to pick up from where you left it

[Desmong]

It really hurts man but just be strong and press forward. Well I don't think you are the only victim who had experienced the same regrettable opportunity being lost. Stay cool and invest in other tokens that are still at their beginners phase.

Then there's the fact that almost all of your investments were wrong, which is a bit unbelievable if we assume that someone who started mining back in 2010 should probably have a few thousand Bitcoins at some point - but you've obviously had the misfortune of not keeping anything in your custodial wallet (almost nothing). You have to understand that people can hardly understand that someone can only have 15 BTC after 5 years of mining - and yet you haven't even mentioned any specific things (names of exchanges) - which would give a little more credibility to your story.

By the way, I read another unfortunate story that has its roots in 2010, and many more who recently discovered that they once bought BTC, and today are trying to reach them - unfortunately many will never succeed (no backup, lost passwords ...).

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.

that is your biggest failure and you get a very valuable experience that investing in bitcoin in the long term must be very profitable.
From the story you tell, I can see that you have great love for your wife, you want to do everything to save your wife, I think you are one of the lucky people who saved your wife's life. I suggest you don't regret it because the life of your wife is very important compared to wealth.

It's really sad but there's nothing to be disappointed about nothing is finished in crypto yet you can start investing anew if you want. If he had invested then he would have doubled the profit at the rate at which currencies are pumping with the current demand for crypto now is the right time to hold the coins altcoins are in a better position with currencies like bitcoin and ethereum. Don't be discouraged cool your mind and move forward with positive thinking the price of currencies will pump more.

It's very unfortunate that you had to go through such hard times but brother, you shouldn't get discouraged.
You did the right thing. You used your money when you had to and that's what we should do.
Nobody knew at that time that crypto would grow so much so soon otherwise everyone would have hold on to their crypto.
Yes you could have borrowed money but everything comes with it's own pros and cons.
Even I had sold a large chunk of my crypto in the past but I am not discouraged because we are still in it.
You can still buy some crypto and hold on to it for a few years to get some decent profits.

[kryptqnick]

Op, being an early investor doesn't guarantee profits if you're being reckless about it. Investing all savings and quitting the job that gives a stable source of income just to buy (mine?) Bitcoin was a very dangerous solution. One should never invest what one cannot afford to lose. I didn't understand what happened to those mined bitcoins, though. And you shouldn't resent that your friends got rich, and you didn't. Being rich doesn't automatically mean being happy, and it's never too late to invest in Bitcoin. However, investing everything is always too risky, so if you consider buying BTC again, make sure you have a plan B in case the price goes down. Everyone makes mistakes, so what's important is to learn from them and move on.

You have been blessed upon learning about bitcoin from the year 2010 where you even started mining right away. You made bad decisions that did not appear as a bad one on that time, through that you can already see how essential time is for bitcoin. What you're selling today might look like a big win but just after few years, you would surely consider yourself as a loser as you failed to hold instead. We feel your regrets and pain, you could have been an instant billionaire if only you were able to predict or have faith with bitcoin even on the days where its value is still very low. For now, you can just keep on mining or trading and leave out the regret, you still have a shot on becoming rich.

[Kabul]

I also sold everything I had in 2018 because I lost my fate in bitcoin and other cryptourrency. I earned and then I lost, which made me supremely upset. And you know what, I did earn a lots back then but because of a few loss, cryptocurrency became meaningless. Right now, I am very disappointed of myself. There is nothing I can do to undo my actions

[$crypto$]

In bitcoin no one knows where it will go and in 2015 winning is not so valuable, meaning that the value of crypto is still very small, many people think this will not work what we imagine today, so if you look back then of course what depression has been. was done before the results of your mining were so great, that regret is definitely possible if you imagine how wealthy you are now, so start learning from before because bitcoin is always surprising when the world is shaking.

Actually I also have the same feeling as you before I started in 2015 and once passed with a lot of assets, but I just sell when it goes up a little, now I know the meaning of a real hold, especially Doge who is kept so much, but I am now I don't have anymore.

But I will continue to live it until now.

[capcaypro]

a good story, your friends have tasted the bitterness and sweetness of the crypto world, hopefully this will become an experience and become a reference for others, because now, the present is different from the past. let it go past because it is impossible to repeat itself even though we regret it.
for now maybe first cultivate motivation in yourself because it is very important now after that then you start over what you have done.
for the continuation of your life in the future, maybe it is wiser to decide something again so you don't regret it in the future like what you have done now

[seoincorporation]

This is bitcoin mate, we can't look back, because each one of us has something to regret... We all have the opportunity to become millionaires but our lack of vision and our love of instant cash take us in the move. Lets take this as a non-cheap lesson and move on, because we have the knowledge and we have learned a lot in these last years, we have to bet in the future because isn't late to get a second chance. Just get coins and hold them, we have learned that's the right way to find success in this businesss..

[pixie85]

I don't know why OP is saying he quit his job and then it went to shit because he lost his job. So which one was it? Were you fired and then started mining or what?

I can tell you that even if I were in a shitty situation I wouldn't sell everything. I'd save up as much as I could, at least 1% of what I had. It wouldn't make a difference back then but now...

[Hasan986]

No, brother, you are not alone, there are many others like this. You missed the chance to get rich. But did you know it will be 10 years later? From today you know what will happen in the next 10 years? If everyone knew, they would find profit.

I personally believe every thing that happens to some one happens for a reason and there is lesson in it for us and to others. But I want to tell you that all hope is not lost, if only I had held on to the amount of Bitcoin I had back in 2017, I would be 50 times richer than where i am now but I dont let that bring me down. Bitcoin is one of the best investment any one can get into now and it is still early IMO so keep it moving.

[Bilgent]

It must be really devastating to witness them having what they want and you can't of course. But there is nothing to do in such situations really. This is a really risky market, you know. Not everyone can make a great deal of profit and get rich. You should have been aware of that before you started.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

We don't know what will happen in the future, that is the best thing that you should be aware in order to keep believe that sometime we will get what we want as long as we trust that bitcoin will always have a value until whenever. Same like you, I had 15 ETH in my wallet exchange when its price just $35. I collected it because I believe that ETH is able to reach its previous all time high but who knows something bad happen to me and I need money at that time and I sold my ETH when its price is $40, can you imagine how happy I am if I still hold 15 ETH until now?

[wallet4bitcoin]

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.
