Why did you miss Bitcoin?

[Questat]

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.

1. I heard about Bitcoin before but not paying attention to it as it never looks interesting before until such time that hypes has to begun and been known on the internet.

2. I have to blame myself because of skipping this opportunity and ignoring this thing several times. But maybe if I buy it earlier, I still sell it days after because of having a lack of trust and interest as well.

3. If that so happens that someone guides me to this profitable investment, it certainly I'm holding lots of them or I'm a millionaire now. But that's how life has been tumbled and being ignorant to the thing it somewhat holds us. It is a lesson to learn, "don't underestimate a thing" who knows this will give you a fortune.

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 feel bad for younger people. Im 30. Whitepaper came out when I was 18. I had the opportunity to ignore bitcoin for a few years and still managed to get rich off it. Young people like yourself did not have that opportunity. There is a lot of luck involved in life. Fortunately bitcoin still has a long way to go. There will be kids younger than you that are jealous you got in during the 2021 bull run. Keep stacking and watch your money grow.

This is certainly the biggest regret we have felt for bitcoin users since it was first launched and the value of bitcoin is still very cheap so we can buy it up to dozens of bitcoins, but all have been missed and now only a few people can take advantage of the opportunity and now they are already living luxuriously with the results of bitcoin investment at that time, Many people do not dare to invest in bitcoin at this time because it is too negative and it just assumes a scamer that will harm us then that's where we feel hesitant to buy bitcoin, and at this time the moment will not be repeated.

 I feel bad also haha i am into bitcoin way back 6 years ago which the price is to low and really i could afford 3 or more bitcoin . If i have invested it and hold until this year then i think i am rich right now but that time i do only buy and sell it after the small pump and just earning small profits.

I knew BItcoin in 2016 but i was scared to invest in it. Though, i later joined in 2018 but i was keep it (BTC) and other Altcoins.
It is not yet too late to acquire Bitcoin and other Altcoins with good use cases.

[Peanutswar]

Since 2016 I already know about bitcoin but at that time I don't have the capability to make an investment and also i don't have any kind of idea of how it goes to earn profit too. With the time after the bitcoin hype approximate 2018-2019, this is the time I include my self into the cryptocurrency world and those times i observe with the different forums and also with the bitcoin talk as with the help of the co-local members they answer most of my questions and help me to enlighten more. Now I can stand my own to make an investment with bitcoin and still looking forward to it.

Information is really key and having the right set of friends around you who can bring some valuable information your way.

Well, I won't say I totally missed bitcoin; I will say why I didn't catch it early is because of lack of information and not having the right set of friends around me.

[ringgo96]

Those of us who have known the crypto world for a long time certainly feel regret at a time when the price of bitcoin is still at a very cheap value but we do not dare to invest as much as possible, and only a few people can take advantage of the opportunity, and when already enjoying very satisfactory results, as you said maybe at that time our mindset and courage that prevented us from getting satisfactory results to buy bitcoin, I don't think this opportunity will happen again but we still have many ways to earn money in investing.

I think commitment is the first thing you should have first, without this you will sell at little profit or either at loss you will panic sell. After having a commitment to btc, you need to research in order to avoid pulling your assets at little lost. There is no time in missing btc rather you need to have a good timing in buying and hold, with a little research you can do a buy and sell method specially if you have time to watch the daily price. Other reasons are welcome too, I need to know too why others miss btc.

[Dhoe]

the reason I missed bitcoin, because basically I don't know what bitcoin is, and after my friend introduced bitcoin to me, I didn't believe it, and I was not at all interested in bitcoin, even though my friend had guided me to learn about bitcoin, I still don't believe it, only in 2019 I played bitcoin, and tried to learn bitcoin, you can say I'm too late to believe in bitcoin, if time could be turned back, I will study bitcoin from the beginning, and will never let go of bitcoin..

The reason that I’ve missed Bitcoin is because of skepticism and listening to the negative opinions of others that it’s nothing but a scam and hype. This is why I have regretted until now in not buying some BTCs while I could still afford even if I am struggling off my finances that time.

The same as what I experienced, I got to know bitcoin in 2015 and at that time I believed more in negative news from various sources so I didn't invest or earn bitcoin from various sources which at that time were easy to earn bitcoin.

[uneng]

5 years ago I actively participated in faucetboxes and giveaways that paid bitcoin, at that time I could earn up to 0.475 btc per month and when the price was $300, unfortunately I was too afraid to hold bitcoin because of the many negative news about bitcoin so I immediately sold it, of course this was my mistake for not knowing that the bitcoin community is very strong.

Nobody can blame you for not believing on those days bitcoin could skyrocket like this. Imagine how insane it would be to say a currency pricing 300$ today is going to price 50,000$ in 4-5 years. I also have sold some coins for a cheap price before, because I feared a crash in the market, what would lead me to earn nothing for the tasks I did online. In order to guarantee some profit for my time spent I had to sold it (and also because I wanted to show people it was possible to earn real money dealing with bitcoins, so they would stop doubting me).

I discovered Bitcoin at a quite young age, I was approximately 15-16 years old at most. I didn't quite get its concept back then, only understood a few basics, while the lack of funds and ability to signup and purchase Bitcoin due to me being underage rendered it difficult to acquire. Likewise, I was only using faucets or PTC sites that paid in Bitcoin just to acquire some.

It didn't take long to find this forum, in 2014, didn't pay much attention to it though, was mostly a lurker and slowly abandoned it. However, I had obtained a decent amount of BTC (For today's standards) just by using faucets, some of which were still in my possession a few months ago. Long story short, I didn't do much back then, till I returned to the forum in 2016, being active and obtaining BTC from Altcoin mining and signature campaigns.

I mostly fall in the first two categories, I had some BTC, I wish I would have bought, while most of it was sold at a much lower price. Can't keep beating myself for something I couldn't have predicted, not only that, but I was extremely young back then. Bitcoin and this forum has been a wonderful experience, in terms of acquiring knowledge and money.

[Webetcoins]

For me, not getting into Bitcoin early is because of lack of information at the right time. The moment I discovered about Bitcoin that was the same time I started making use of it that very same day. So, I believe if I also got the information earlier before when I did, I’m also going to start investing in it right from then as well.

Well, I am okay with what I have been able to get from the market, it’s not that I came in late compared to those that are coming now, because have been around for like 5 years. As for this time around, I don’t think information should be an excuse now, because Bitcoin is now widely popular around the world. If someone is not going to invest then it’s just a choice, they are making for themselves.

[Vaskiy]

I got to know about bitcoin at the right time. But, the inability to make money made me use my holdings on different occasions. It means I used to hold for a little time period and for some need when I wasn't able to withstand the situation I cashout my holdings. I'm holding and cashing out bitcoin since the price is around $1000.

I have missed each and every opportunity to make big earning out of bitcoin and now my portfolio is empty.

[molsewid]

I don't trust the Internet at that time, with a lot of scams popping up and not knowing to how to navigate the Internet with money involved, I don't think that I would love bitcoin at that time especially with all the FUDs spreading back then. But it's not important that you're late, what's important is that you've arrived to the destination.

Way back when I first heard about bitcoin was also the time where the scams popped trendy and of course I am afraid to become victim again. Also, that time I heard about bitcoin I was a college student where I don't have any money in hands so I can start my investment. Another reason that I missed bitcoin that time was also lack of knowledge about crypto platform. Now, I do really regret that I miss a great opportunity to invest in bitcoin where the price is affordable though I already manage to have a small bitcoin at my wallet today but the great chance that had passed was regretful.

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.

Like me, the first time I payed attention to crypto I did not take it seriously so I just myself left behind on it. As early on that time I regret that I missed crypto. I think that it might be scam or a waste of time.
Unlike the second statement, I have nothing to buy because I have no money but what really makes push through to crypto is that I discovered that I can earn real money thru it. I did not go off early, but i commit lot of mistakes so I also pity myself.

If I will be given another chance, I will still not used my own money to obtain crypto, instead I will save the bitcoin I got from the bounties I joined.

The answer is pretty commonplace. At the time when bitcoin began its ascent, I would be busy with something completely different, and did not even suspect about its existence.

As someone who joined this forum last 2017, I came to discover the existence of BTC due to my friend who introduced me to this forum. At first, I thought that this forum was only an avenue to earn alternative income via posting threads similar to economics or other areas related to such. But upon browsing the forum, I discovered about BTC and its potential application in the future of transactions.

I think generally, most people already knew about BTC but they refused to dwell on such subject mainly due to media and on how the latter portrayed it to be. In addition, the first years of BTC were crucial as lots of issues started to surface.
