This dip is PROOF that "I wish I would've bought Bitcoin at X price" is nonsense

[androyster]

Tell that to the guy who bought BTC 10 years ago.

[Oceat]

It seems like you are annoyed by someone who still complain about the "what if" of their life?

Yeah, you can listen, read, heard about them whining but that's it. It's up to you to ignore the nonsense if you know what you could do to the market. Be humble enough to accept the decision they made, just learn what they lack about and make it an inspiration to learn from their mistakes.

Dip is nothing new here it happens to different market and the only difference I can tell is Bitcoin has a higher volatility rate unlike the other market.

[sapnu]

Due to the doubt and terrible speculations that people made before about bitcoin, a lot experienced great sense of regret as they witness bitcoin reaching over $60k before. The current dip is not a proof that buying during a low price would end up being nonsense as long as you remember that people saw it that way before and look where it brought them. The market will soon recover and the price will go high once again and if you would continue with your doubt since the market is on a bloodbath, think again because you might miss the opportunity of a lifetime.

NO you would NOT be rich, you'd be Poorer!

How many times have you heard it?

I wish I had bought Bitcoin when it was $1, $100, $1000, etc!

I would be RICH today! If I had bought in 2019, I'd have a MILLION DOLLARS TODAY!!!

Imagine believing ONE man can literally bring down Bitcoin, imagine believing for the 1,078th time that THIS is the true DEATH of Bitcoin!

I'm still new to Bitcoin....I first bought in on December 2020 when the price was around 25,000....so I'm not an expert, I still have NOT experienced to truly BIG 50% or higher dips....but even as a newbie, I GET IT....you HODL, you DCA, you buy the Dips, you remain PATIENT, and you DO NOT Panic Sell!

I never want to hear people say "I wish I would've bought Bitcoin at X Price".....because these are the people that would INSTANTLY SELL the second Bitcoin had a 30% or higher correction!

In other words: people who missed the opportunity of buying cheap bitcoins and complain about it would be the first ones to waste the opportunity taken if they had been holding bitcoins on their hands during a correction by panic selling all their coins.

Somehow you are right and there is a big chance potential investors would panic sell in this situation for different reasons. But we must also be aware that who really moves the market are the big investors, the whales. And these people don't panic sell because they are unexperienced or can't afford losing some money value on short run. They sell their coins because they profit from market speculation.
The fools smaller unexperienced investors who follow them don't make too much difference in bitcoin's fluctuations.

I think that it's incorrect to make a simple rule off this. I disagree with what OP said because I'm such an example.
There was one case, long ago, when I was very close to buy more Bitcoin very cheap. I didn't because the machine had tremendous fees. Then Bitcoin rose a little and I said I wait, then... poof, too late.

But (much) later on I started putting aside some of coins I've earned (I also sold some, I had/have to..) all in all, I do hold some. And I still think that I could have had much more if I would have bought, back then, at that incredible price.

On the other hand, I expect that most of those telling "I wish I would've bought Bitcoin at X price" never actually buy. So they don't also have anything to sell.

So, as I said, it's incorrect to make a simple rule. There's more than one category of people telling "I wish I would've bought Bitcoin at X price".

Who is that one man that you are talking about though? Well, if you had bought bitcoin when it was around 1$, you are definitely rich by now. Also, there's nothing wrong with people wishing what they could've done in the past, it's called hindsight.

You have misunderstood the meaning of the post, lol, the op is not referring to one man but the very many people who always wish and never make a move, if you read correctly he never said he bought at $1, between the op is right,  many will always say they would have bought when price was down but even when an opportunity is in front of them they still won't take advantage.

The dip is not caused by the weak hands but it can be caused by the early holders because They have been holding for a long time and they are in huge profit . The dip can also be caused by the manipulators .
You can close you ears because there would still be people that wish they bought btc at cheaps if price doesn't stop growing but some of them can be sincere and can strongly hold btc  .

Agreed. At least by looking into the past people can learn some lessons and hopefully will help them be in a better place someday.

For instance, if BTC drops to some unexpected value of say 20K zone then those people who were once wishing they could buy in then will have their chances while others with no wishing at all will wait for lower dips before buying in but there can only be a certain amount of discount.

The point being that if you see a chance grab it because one day it will pay off.

I understand you. I also had a similar experience in the past. I would like to have bought bitcoins years ago as I had some money stored, but I wasn't the one who managed my funds yet because I was too young and people around me didn't believe bitcoin's potential and forbade me from using the money for this purpose. But within time I started acquiring satoshis and saving most coins as possible (not all the coins, because like you I had and have to sell some from times to times).

So not all cases are the same and people behave in different ways, you are right. But I believe there is a common behavior among most people which happens more often, what I would call a rule, while what happened to you and me would be the exception to this rule. I say that because most people present *herd behavior*. They act accordingly to how the majority is acting. As most people don't buy bitcoins, they also don't buy, although they wished they have bought when they see bitcoin skyrocketing. And probably if they had bought they would panic sell anyway, because that is what the *herd behavior* presents during the corrections/bearish markets.

Not in my case, OP.
I won't sell it because probably I invested something that I don't care about it anyway.
Most likely I would just be locked up from my own wallet, that is for sure because I'll just let the private key in one side and never read or touch that text ever again.

[Yatsan]

Those words can actually come from those people have late realization how valuable Bitcoin is and have just noticed its importance when it already have a high value but when at the time that it is at the bottom price they were just keep ignoring it and believing that it won't last long which have prove them wrong of the current situation wherein Bitcoin became more valuable to the extent that it have break through different levels of ATH exceeding the previous ones. You can't stop people from saying that for they might have really regretted not getting into Bitcoin when it is still somehow cheap and now they wanted to engage but the price is already that expensive.

[lienfaye]

I never want to hear people say "I wish I would've bought Bitcoin at X Price"

I usually here this statement when the price is already bullish. Now that there's a correction it seems some investors are hesitating to invest because of their worries if the price will bounce back.

They're afraid to lose their money and dont want to take risk. On the other side if btc already soar high, here comes their regrets of not buying during dip, well if you have such mindset you really cant get rich.

Bitcoin is existing for over a decade but manage to overcome the dips and recover back with much higher price. If we track the history you'll understand why holding and have patience are necessary if you invest.

The topic of missed opportunities in the Bitcoin and altcoins communities would never end. Particularly in Bitcoin, there have been plenty of opportunities to take advantage of insanely cheap market prices but yet still hesitate. When they're able to summon courage to take the risks, they find out that they have missed out on a golden opportunity to get BTC for an even lower price and go on to think that they can't get it at a higher price. I used to be in this kinda situation in my early crypto days but I finally had to put my fears aside and take those risks since they (risks) are inevitable in a market like this.

[Shenzou]

The only reason that people say such thing is because they think that investing in bitcoin is an easy and fast investment whith high returens in the short term, they look at the the prices and make faulse judgments and they either end up losing a lot of moeny and than start talking bad things about it or sell early and end up making barely any profit, bitcoin is a long term investment and the people who truly take the cake are the people who support it for years and endure through the dips and lows that comes with it.

People would always love to go back into the past presuming that if they do able to buy bitcoin into those years then they might be rich as hell as of this moment.

I cant really blamed off people on having those kind of thoughts even myself do have those kind of moments where i do think that i might be rich now but we cant go back into the past.

Yes, its non sense but dreaming off isnt really that bad and also think that its never been too late.

[Questat]

It all just wishes because they don't invest any, if they try that after hearing about Bitcoin then they might become rich now. But these people are full of doubts, no wonder why it all just become like that.

How I wish I could buy...
It supposed to be I have to invest now and so I can see what will really happen to me after. If we think like this, It find nothing like that and everyone will be happy with the results.

This is the reason why only early investors of bitcoin can only understand this market's condition. The bearish season will always be inevitable as bullish season always do. So we need to have the right mindset so we can adjust with the current dip.

Fear, hesitation and lack of knowledge will always be the hindrances not to invest in bitcoin. Yes it's definitely a high risk investment but if you will only invest on the amount you can afford to lose, then you have nothing to worry about. You might get losses along the way but if you are focused and patient enough, you will end up successful and profitable in this kind of investment.
