Why did you miss Bitcoin?

[Reatim]

It is about 2009 I was a child then Bitcoin Mining is free and then it is officially listed and then get succes. And then its price is increased and still is increaseing and I was a child I was not mature and I missed this great opportunity.

Is this a meaningful post? why you care about your being child when that is not directly the question and the topic.

It is mean that when  you are available and not because you weren't even having a Mind for this lol.

I had no idea about the crypto world when Bitcoin came to crypto. I get involved in crypto only a few years ago. When I saw the Bitcoin, the value of Bitcoin was 20k dollars. Which was out of my reach. If I could get involved in the crypto world in the beginning, I would never miss a brilliant currency like Bitcoin.

Meaning you are here back in 2017? then you should have bought in 2018 when the big dump happened?

If time goes back 10 years and give you another chance, will you really take out your real money and buy it when Bitcoin is still considered air?

If I only knew Bitcoin 10 years ago, I would have probably invested, only if I had a mindset of an adult that time of course, but since we were so young that time, well at least for me   , I think it's impossible that we'd focus on Bitcoin instead of our academics and enjoying our childhood, but if I was only this aware on how big Bitcoin will be in the future, I seriously would have bought and tried to buy when BTC used to be very cheap, it sucks to have regrets but at least we're making progress now, it's never too late to start investing.

I did missed bitcoin few years back though i started on 2017 and had some bitcoin back then that got from PTC and faucet sites but I had sold all of it and it's a heart breaking to see of what I had before that already sum a huge amounts of money of today's price. That's why HODL is the key in this industry and it gave me the reason why I am holding my coins/tokens now as long as I can.

Your story like me, I know bitcoin from the faucetbox site that pays with bitcoin, at that time I could earn up to 1 million satoshi, if converted the price at that time was only about $6 but I don't if bitcoin can be like now, all of those things will be difficult to repeat but I will try to invest bitcoin with small value and hope to make big profit in 3 or 5 years.

Before, I didn’t know that bitcoin would actually have this much potential. I missed it initially because I lacked sufficient knowledge of whether bitcoin would become this big as it is now. But as they say, it’s never too late, so I’m there too.

Even now, many new friends won't buy bitcoin. When bitcoin was in 30K USD last year, I strongly recommended my friends (they don't know cryptocurrency) to buy bitcoin. He said it was too expensive. Now they are like us.If he realizes he missed it, it's never too late.

In recent years, more and more people have started to talk about Bitcoin with me, and the most common words are:

1. I started paying attention to it many years ago, but unfortunately I didn't buy it.
2. I bought it before, but it was a pity that I got off too early.
3. I should have listened to you at that time, buy some.

In fact, just one sentence: missed it.
Why didn't most people expect Bitcoin to be as brilliant as it is today?
In my opinion, the key reasons that make you miss the Bitcoin opportunity are actually the following aspects:

1.Whether the information is unobstructed.
This one determines your vision and insight.
In fact, most of the channels for people to obtain information are from the circle of friends, and a few are from themselves and have excellent qualities that love tossing.
The level of your circle of friends can determine the quality of the information you get.
If no one tells you, or if you happen to pay attention to cutting-edge technology, it is impossible for you to hear about Bitcoin. You can't search for relevant information on search engines, after all, you can't search for something you don't know at all.

2. Resolution
The more information, the stronger the resolution needed.
It may be better if it is a field that you have always understood, but if it is a field that you did not know before, can you distinguish it correctly?

3. Whether the investment capital is idle？
If the money you invest is from a loan, you will check your account balance every day. Short-term fluctuations will make you not hold it for long. Only after you invest and forget the existence of the money can you hold it for a long time.

4. Mindset and boldness.
No matter what the investment is, it is normal to have ups and downs, ups and downs.
Buffett said that he is fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.
The question is when everyone is afraid, do you really have this mentality to stick to your own opinions? Does the conclusion you insist on must be correct? For example, when Bitcoin crashes 80% for the first time, can you be indifferent, and will double up after being determined, instead of thinking that this is just a scame, and now it’s crashing?

If time goes back 10 years and give you another chance, will you really take out your real money and buy it when Bitcoin is still considered air?
If you are given another chance, will you really insist on not selling after you have made several times the income and hold it till today?
If you were to give you another chance, would you really listen to my advice and allocate a bit of Bitcoin as an asset?
No, you still won’t. After all, I'm not an expert, because you don't believe that the future of Bitcoin will exist like a sea of ​​stars.

This is quite detailed because it explains my reason and some other people's individual reason for joining the bitcoin train late. Even though we still say we joined late, some haven't still joined because of the above reasons. How would they get enlightened and would it be too late for them to join in the years to come?
I ask myself these questions most of the time.

There are several reasons why I missed bitcoin. I first became aware of bitcoin in 2015, when I was in 8th grade.Now you can guess my age. And that time i use a very cheap mobile phone all because of i don't have money. And from that phone i watch YouTube video about bitcoin free earning. Now i understand all those YouTuber whom i watch no one continue youtubeing their max news are misinformation.  I can't afford btc at my that age period . Parents couldn't trust to give me money to invest here. In our country bitcoin is ban so their is no resources and i don't have any knowledge to buy bitcoin. I think these are the mejor point of mine.

[lalabotax]

People only pay attention to the hype or popular thing happen and they know from media. But sometimes, they will not believe in it because they are not real. Maybe some people will think that Bitcoin is like an alien where it is not real enough.
We cannot force somebody to like Bitcoin moreover to buy and use BTC. We just need to do it for ourselves and when they know Bitcoin from us, just let them know.
And I missed buying bitcoin in 2018 and 2019, not because I ignored Bitcoin but I didn't have enough money to buy.

Remembering those days where I do get some small satoshis out of those faucet sites back in the past when I was just starting to learnt of this market.Cant really be denied that my first impression was always on how to make money and not really minding off about its real use case.

Sooner as I do go by and gained experience and knowledge then I do realize up various things and what makes I do get involved more with Bitcoin not only for the sake of making money but
also into its real use case.

People usually visit bitcoin because bitcoin looks like an exchangeable game, it looks like a normal. There is no advantage. But they haven't jumped here yet, once they know how good bitcoin is for investing many of them even want to learn from me. They want to invest here.

What is difficult in investing in bitcoin is the belief itself. I've also experienced that where I was hesitant to start with bitcoin, but after I tried to convince myself again I believed in it and started entering the crypto world. Opportunities don't come as often as possible so when they do come we must be able to make good use of them. everyone has their own considerations to start investing in bitcoin, it's just a matter of how we can convince ourselves to get into it and use it well.

Trust and Capital, but most of the people around don't have that word TRUST and so they just ignore Bitcoin.
And to be honest with you that I was in this position and looking at crypto as a scam but I'd change as I open my mind the I'd found out that I was wrong, definitely wrong of what I've thought before and so most people.

If I don't dare to take this nor I change my vision towards Bitcoin, I can imagine that I was still far from getting to know more about Bitcoin, and absolutely I miss this opportunity. Regrets are somewhat I've got.

I got to know bitcoin about 8 years ago when I heard a discussion on Bloomberg TV about bitcoin skyrocketing from $100 to $900 in 2013, unfortunately after hearing negative news about bitcoin I left bitcoin until 2016.

[Marvell1]

I got a lot of opportunities but couldn’t take the  advantage. Some of the reasons were lack of confidence in it.

A lot of people have missed bitcoin in the past including me, when I first heard about bitcoin I really didn't care much. After much deliberation and trying to convince myself to sit down and start learning about bitcoin, I missed a while.

The second thought was that now the current price is the maximum it will not increase so much anymore. At the Last I thought that I would collect bitcoin again when the price dropped a bit. At that moment the price of bitcoin was approximate $3000. Till today I didn’t collect 1 bitcoin. I miss a a lot "Bitcoin".

IMO, I don't think bitcoin will stop here with me bitcoin will reach 500k even a million dollars in future. I can't tell you exactly when bitcoin will hit but I believe bitcoin. No regrets, opportunities still abound for us as long as we act from now on.

[impulse709]

I missed Bitcoin because I didn't believe it when I first heard about BTC and didn't pay attention to how innovative blockchain technology is. During that time, we still don't know what BTC can bring? What is the profit and potential?..but if I could go back in time, I would sell all my assets and buy all of them in BTC, it's a pity that what's gone is impossible to come back. lost many times to have the opportunity to get rich.

[AakZaki]

Since knowing bitcoin the first time I never missed it, I kept looking for information about bitcoin about bitcoin long term. I even bought some bitcoins and made a lot of profit. But unfortunately, I did get out early and when the bitcoin price hit ATH as it is now I don't have any bitcoins. Common reasons why
Missing bitcoin is because of their ignorance about bitcoin and lack of capital to invest in it.
Long-term investment might be a good suggestion if you really believe in bitcoin and don't want to miss another opportunity. Today I still have some bitcoins which I will hold on to until my main target is reached.

Why didn't most people expect Bitcoin to be as brilliant as it is today?

I guess I'm one of the folks who thought Bitcoin would be more brilliant today and has been extremely disappointed in the development the last half decade.  It was such a promising technology to change the world with so much momentum it's still carrying us to this day, even though now it's just a get rich quick tool that Wall Street is going to exploit for never-ending management fees.  I had such higher hopes and expectations.  The insane price appreciation brought the worst of the worst to our once great libertarian based community and it's now full of scammers out for a quick buck, jealous of those who built things and desperate to tear down others so they feel like they can catch up.  It's a toxic environment that I don't see how it could possibly be successful long term, but is the result of it's success.  Most of the real decentralized solutions involving game theory development are now done on alternative chains while Bitcoin is pushed as a store of value and it's users are urged not to use it.  If this is a successful approach to building a currency, everything I know about economics is wrong.

You're not the only one who feels like you've missed a great opportunity to get rich from Bitcoin. I also regret that when I first learned about Bitcoin,
I didn't buy it immediately and collect as much as I could. In fact, if I did that, I might have become a rich man by now. But I can't go back to the past,
I can only move forward to face the future. After all, it's useless to regret what has happened, the most important thing is that we can learn from
the mistakes we have made. Therefore, from now on we can collect Bitcoin, and there is still a chance to get rich from Bitcoin. Because the price of
Bitcoin will continue to rise and in the future Bitcoin can be very expensive.

In life, the kind of friends you deal or hang out with will determine the quality of the information you get" This is so true. I get to know about Bitcoin through a friend and that has been the best experience so far. How I wish I get to know about the knowledge and financial freedom it brings long ago. It would have been nice and superb.
To me, Bitcoin is the best thing that has ever happen to humanity
