My feelings after 11 years with crypto.

[sarmrakib]

I also play with 15 btc on dices sites when it was low so? i am not depressed by that.
it's happened. I didn't expect it to skyrocket to 50k.
there are more ways to make money than Crypto

I have passed more than 5 years on crypto at the beginning i also have found some dice roll site ans few gambling as well but i didn't play those game cause i got in mind that bitcoin has a value in future. Now really its have a real value which has changed my whole life. I think it was my luck that i did hold it.

This is one of the biggest regrets. But as said by the members here if you are one of them, you are not alone.
Again, we cannot live in the past and cannot return to the past. What we should do is what is currently happening. We must think about this time and also the future. Depression and regret will not be enough and will not make us rich. So, immediately move on even though it's heavy. It's better to start from the start and get what we want again.

You are not too late dude because crypto is still here giving us vast opportunities but it's up to you how you will handle your priorities. There's no point on remembering the past because that won't do good at this moment.

Move on my friend. Start investing again and set yourself for more losses than preparing yourself for quick profits. And stop being impatient. Set your goal and work for it. Successful men are those who patiently wait and don't just give up easily. That does not apply to crypto but definitely in all aspects of life.

The thing is, there's no one that is late when investing in the cryptocurrency investment, only ones that got the invitation a bit later than the others. You may not have been able to grab the opportunity that some of us had experienced, but let's be real here, they are but a few because not a lot of people are aware of bitcoin and crypto in the past. You can still get into crypto in some other ways, like investing your money on it directly instead of buying or investing on a miner which is not as profitable as they are in 6 years ago.

Well but the earlier you got in the less stressful it is. It's different you buy Bitcoin for 55,000 USD than if you bought at 2,000 USD and can't lose money but only win. It is no simple decision to now say "ok I'll put money in".

Men, you are not alone. There are a lot of people in crypto space that lost something big and more opportunities. But you know what? Life must go on. You can still make your life much better and avoid more regrets. Me too lost $450,000 if I hold some of my holdings. I was broke and disappointed. But now I choose to move on and forget the past.

[rosebrand]

I know you are really depressed, but you shouldn't be depressed because there are lots of people with same story and some even had more than what you got then, but so bad we can't bring the past to the present, so it's better to forget about the pass, I know it could be very hard but you really need to, crypto is filled with alot of opportunities and you can still made that which you sold out if actually you can forget the past and face the present, like I said there is so much opportunities in this crypto space and your even lucky to be here because this forum is also a good place to benefit alot from crypto.

[Alert31]

It’s really hard to forget the past but you also can’t live in the past. You need to move forward and what happened in your past is just an experienced and part of your life in crypto. You're not alone that have such a sad experienced. What you can do now? Move on and find some cheap but good coins to invest. And don't let your past experienced happen again in the future.

If remorse overpowered a person, imagine someone who made pizza day history, how would that feel?
it is human nature that always feels that it is lacking for what has been obtained. this is a bad trait, we have to really be able to control it so as not to influence our decision making in the future.

what do we expect from that regret? do we want the play back button? that's not possible right? so just be grateful for what we have got, and don't get your hopes up too much, the important thing is to try your best.

everyone has different conditions, so the decision to sell or hold depends on the conditions of each, do not be forced.

But right now, it's probably a safe zone to buy. It is unlikely that the price will fall so much that you can lose money.

A safe zone at almost 60,000 USD? I can understand if one has the memories of 2018 in the back of his head brooding around whether it is a safe zone or not. A safe zone is when you are almost certain that it won't make you lose money when you invest now. That is why I wouldn't call it a safe zone. We all know what a crypto winter is and how long it can take to recover. It is brutal to go through it.

That was huge. Even just 1 or 2 btc I cannot afford to lose it. Maybe I'm just small fish as I think coz even .01 btc I doesn't own. Well, I have some altcoins that looks potential but I doubt if they will give me 100x profit in due time. How I wish to have btc in my wallet and will use it to help the people who are greatly in need situation.

Think we have all done stupid things with Bitcoin when it was first launched  I too sold Bitcoin at a very low price and I did the  same with litecoin,  but that was the past and crypto has come a long way since those days. I have since invested around £350 into crypto and now have over 3k worth of crypto  within a year and counting.  It just goes to show that even if we did stupid things  in the past, today you can still make decent money from crypto.

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.

I´m sorry about your losses. I don´t know if it helps, but try to think about it in this way:

BTC does not generate any value by itself. It is not money, neither it will ever be. It is not an alien technology either, it is just a token. A token, which was made for making its creators and early adaptors rich. I won´t explain it in full, the halving process alone does the job.

As BTC does not generate any value, its only value remains in its speculative potential. Potential of cashing in the USD. So whomever you had sold your coins to at today's price, would have become a bagholder instead of you. Risking with the same outcome as you had once when the music stops and the party ends. Friends of your... They do that precisely. They hand over the bag (if they are unaware) or they frankly scam (if they are aware) other people. Producing victims like you are. Later they would nod sadly and feel sorry, what kind of bad coincidence you had with cryptos. It´s not a coincidence. They have your money. Not namely them, but someone similar to them. Anyone aware, how BTC really works and still trading it, is a scammer. If you know, that the price of BTC is produced with another token (USDT) and people who buy in with their real money do not know that and you are OK to take their money, you are participating.

Finally, one general monetary rule: there is no "get quick rich" way that is viable and repeatable and that is not weighted with risk already. Crypto is a very risky and scammish way to "invest". I would rather call it gambling.

We have all loses in life which made us regretful and wishing to bring back the past and correct it. However, though we are regretful and always triggered to think the past missed big opportunity, still the present make sense. I know it is hard but we can't do anything to bring back the past. I hope there is the same opportunity to come along our journey. Good luck to us mate.

[Rebdoomer]

You need to think long term. As long as you're alive, you can still be a millionaire.
Work at your job and save up to $100k.
Put that $100k into Bitcoin at it's lowest point in the market, usually around late summer.
Diamond hands hold it for 10 years and sell it in 10 year or more.
You lost the battle but you didn't lose the war.

I feel this too, I regret leaving my job and using Bitcoin to fulfill my daily needs...

If I didn't use Bitcoin for my daily needs then by now I would already have some Bitcoins and some Altcoins. seeing the price of Bitcoin to $60k and ethereum to $4k makes me regret not holding. everything has happened, all we can do is reorganize from the bottom.

Let's take the positive side, friends, if you are not investing everything in GPU, maybe your money will be spent in useless places. I can say you are one of the lucky ones, because you have savings that you invest in GPU, then you can allocate your investment for your wife medical expenses.

I catch your complaint as a form of regret after knowing the current price of Bitcoin (compared to when you sold it). Let's think with a clear head, if in 2022 Bitcoin has no value or its price is lower than 2015 (when you sold it) you might say the opposite, "I am very lucky to be able to sell Bitcoin while it still has value".

Regret like this can come to anyone, if at that time you know Bitcoin has increased rapidly in the following years, I am 100% sure you will not interfere with your investment in Bitcoin.

Hey, do not beat yourself up. Carryout an assessment of everything that has happened and go back and re-strategize. It's not too late to get rich via bitcoin. Go to your crypto-friends and speak with them. Since they are your friends, talk to them. You never can tell they may be nice enough to borrow you their one of their device to help you get back on your feet.

Yeah regrets are bound to happen but whatever it is we have to rise up I've been in such difficult situations but I've been thinking about how to get up in any way and now slowly I've grown bitcoin for the future as a long term investment, we still have a chance in bitcoin and never give up just because of previous failures, you still have to have the ambition to be able to stand in this good bitcoin environment.

If you have a solid friend, do cooperation, I'm sure a true friend will definitely help, the most important thing is that we can start well and yesterday's failure is just a lesson.

Moreover, you have long experience in the crypto world.
