Verified Information - Missed Opportunities

[Ararbermas]

Its an epic fail. Lol and for sure behind of his regrets are doubts and how the way they're relies to others instead of making their own research wherein in order to obtain specific information such how long bitcoin will pump or whats the potential of bitcoin when it comes long term.  sad to say that's the fact, i mean even nowadays wherein the price is so expensive there are still some people who underestimate bitcoin.. Perhaps we are out of it because it's their choice so who cares.

Many of the Bitcoin haters you see today who say Bitcoin is going to 0 did just that. They want to believe they did the right thing, that they couldn't make such a big fuck up, and every time there is a dip, they hope the price keeps going down to be right.

A more reasonable person would have bought back at $100 or $1k or today. There is still time to buy Bitcoin.

Who doesn't want to be right? But there are times when clearly the decision was wrong and there is no coming back from it. This is of course the case with the early adopters of Bitcoin who didn't (and can't blame them) believe that it will become as big as it is today. Though, these are the consequences people need to live by...

Above image portrays a tweet made ten years back. By that time Greg Schoen have sold his 1700 Bitcoins. When the tweet was made, the price of bitcoin is $8. He had sold his holdings for $0.30 per bitcoin. It is a missed opportunity, because he wasn't able to sell at $8 as well as at the present peak. But, he's good enough to talk about cryptocurrencies. Now all he have is ethereum and few other altcoins and not bitcoins.

If that incident happened to me then I would be very sad and I would meditate on it until the sadness was gone.
Usually I will look for something that I will hit so that all the annoyance in my head immediately disappears and after that I will take lessons from everything I have experienced, I just realized that everything needs patience in order to get a more satisfying result.
I am very sad to see this because in the past the price of Bitcoin was very cheap so anyone could buy 1 BTC, but for now not everyone can buy 1 BTC because the price has reached $65,042.

This is the sort of vibe the bitcoin FUD comes with, the vibe that pushes you to sell even with the least ROI at hand but, its the worst move you should ever make. I say this not on bitcoin alone but also, in the case of other investments! It just doesn't add up to liquidate all your investment as its captioned on the above Tweet. Best move would be to take out a your capital and some percent of profit if the leverage allows and then, keep watch over the remaining to see how far or wll it goes. Don't loose on a future opportunity because of what you feel is best today, especially on new world developments.

Regrets do always come at the end and it wont never be going in first and its just normal that we would able to commit mistakes like these because the market was unpredictable on the first place
thats why to those people who did risk on accumulating and holding for too long just because they do believe on bitcoins potential then they are the ones who are been rewarded for that patience
they do have.Missed opportunities are common but doesnt mean that you would completely stop on where you are right now. Try to move on and be wise and mindful
about of your future actions to be made.

The thing with Bitcoin is that a lot of people are fond of complaining about one missed opportunity or the other, or how they wish they had bought at one time or the other, but imo, that's Bitcoin for you, and anytime is actually a good time to buy, and if you sell, then there is no need to regret it, rather look for another means of accumulating again, even if you start from the scratch.

Having said that, if it's altcoins in question, then if it pumps and you didn't buy when it was pretty low, then you can talk about missing an opportunity, cause it could prolly not rise/pump again and you didn't sell when you should have, but if you've done a good research into the history of the Bitcoin network and its price movements, then you'd understand that there is actually no situation of a missed opportunity, cause as long as you're not investing more than you can afford to lose, then you can chose to buy at anytime.

This is so disheartening a whole lot of 1700BTC, just imagining him even holding it till around 2017 self not to to talk of 2021, I know by now he would have realized how much he would have gained he just try to hold.

Perfect reasoning! I also think in this way, lost opportunities are now the past, now we need to think about how to grow with cryptocurrencies in a serious way, learning from the mistakes made! Crying is useless, react and try to do better!

This is exactly why you should never regret after you sell. The best strategy here is to not sell until you "need" to sell your coins.
If there arises a need for you to sell then never look back at it again. This way you never have any regrets of selling.
It also makes us hold our coins to the maximum. So far this strategy have been working very well for me.

For me, the only time you have to sell your coins is when at its peak price or there is an urgent need for cash so you have to sell your bitcoin regardless of its value. Other than that, when you sell your coins at a low price it will only make you a loser. And i think when it comes to investments, its all about winning and losing so if you made such bad decisions in the past, stop making regrets because that will never help you to move on from it. Otherwise, you'll gonna miss another great opportunities because you are so busy thinking of your regrets.

There'll be no end to Bitcoin regrets as long as the price continues to rise. Just get in when your circumstances allows you. The right time to buy is always now.

69 year old Israeli lady had turned $3k investment in Bitcoin to $320k and the bank now denies to withdraw the money. Esther Freeman have invested $3240 back in 2013. She had invested out of innocence and blind belief hearing from his son and nephews. Now this has grown big and when she request for a money withdrawal, the hapoalim bank denies citing the initial investment is connected to the illegal financial investment. Now she has filed a lawyer and has reached the court. The court ruled that the bank should not deny the clients money just because it is connected to digital currency. The bank have received the case and are studying it.

We all make some bad decisions in life on which we regret later on but keep on repeating the same mistake in present willingly is the worst thing to do.I was also among those who missed the opportunity to buy them at early phase but if i have not invested even now i am biggest fool.We are still not too late and can invest but making certain excuses will not take you anywhere so it's better to invest now if not and if yes just hold.

Here's a post I made almost exactly 1 year ago, in response to someone complaining that they had missed their "golden opportunity". Bitcoin was $13k at the time of this post:

I just came across this thread and read your post and recently i also made an thread explaining that how we miss the boat is not a new concept and people from the past also have the same lame excuses and i also came across those who have hundred of bitcoins sold at $3 or even lower and were happy and now regret or others who still say we miss the boat today also. We can't figure out what they have in mind and i think we will see them in future also with the same thing waiting for it to go down so they can buy full bitcoin as stacking sats is not possible for them and they will never hoard the boat and will miss it every time.
