I recovered my wallet from 2014 and saw how close I was to being a millionaire

[Woodie]

looking at all these transactions really hurts me because I know the feeling of missing out on a great opportunity and this one was to make you to be a millionaire.

If only we can go back in time and buy a bag load of bitcoins and wait for the big one of 60000 dollars to come sell and buy again when the dip happens.

[alpamar99]

everything that has happened, I don't think there is anything to regret anymore because I don't think it's useful enough for now and we only live on regrets and it's not a good thing to do.
on the other hand I think we have to turn over a new leaf because bitcoin is now something valuable and we have to focus on looking ahead and past experiences should be used as valuable lessons.
At least we can consider ourselves delayed millionaires because it was so easy to let go of bitcoin at that time

We can't live with regrets, we have to move on no matter how bad things are. Sometimes things that have happened we don't need to keep
on remembering. Because sometimes to become millionaires, we have to go through some bad things first. I agree with you, we should focus
on the future instead of continuing to be stuck with regrets in the past. Moreover, Bitcoin continues to develop and increase in price, so we will be
left behind if we don't immediately rise from our regrets. I believe everyone who tries really hard, eventually becomes a millionaire it's just
a matter of time. We can all become millionaires as long as we don't give up and keep trying to achieve it, even though it may be a long process.

Nothing is assured in talks of future thats why missed out opportunities is very common thing and also we didnt even expect that we would really be reaching out this high and on that particular time in the past
then we are using our own coins for our own good.We might missed on saving it up on at least but we did really make use of that.

There's no point on making out regrets because it would really just make some those down feelings or anxiety just because you had missed it out but
its better to move on and proceed on things that you are engaging currently and dont commit the same mistakes
again.

I thought that we have a new millionaire this upcoming new year. But the lesson here is that if you needed those bitcoin's you've sold and the cash helped you on that particular moment of selling, there's nothing to regret.

It's just that there are bad times and you have no resort but to sell what you have in your assets. It really happens most of the time and that's why assets and investments are there. On your end, it's just that you've sold most and the bigger amounts.

[dubst4r]

Thanks, everyone for the kind words, I have come to peace with this and moved on from it but definitely a lesson learned, never sell all of your coins

[Chato1977]

A lesson that I learned here is never sell

You can say that if you are capacitated to spend some funds for your living , but what if you only depending in everything that is in your hands? how will you survive without selling?
and besides you sold the funds back then because you badly needed it and not just because you wanted too.

You probably sold probably because you had to. There is no point regretting. I don't like it when people say "never sell". Better to say "keep holding if you can". If you have no other option but to sell, then just sell and move on. Don't look back. If you have extra cash lying around, then go ahead and invest again. It is never late. Keep investing as much as you can, and if you don't have to sell, then just keep holding. You will make some good profit in the future.

[kotajikikox]

we all have our reasons mate so never felt like that because you only  did what is needed that time, I myself had sold my bitcoin back in 2017 even before the great pump in December when i can earn at least multiple times but at first yeah i feel something like that but eventually?
i learn to understand that we have to decide or we will be bitter in the future.
and don't worry you may not become a millionaire now but at least you will be in the future if you will continue helping the market and also invest more on this.

Yes, that is a good suggestion for all of us. If we can get the coin at the lowest price and suddenly, the price increase so high, we do not have to sell all of the coins but we can sell for half amount while keeping the other half for the next highest price. We know that will need time for the price to increase, but we should know that the price can adjust the lower price, giving us a chance to buy back using the profit. It is how we can manage the funds that we will use to trade. If you use the coin for the investment, you should know how long you will hold the coin and when you will sell the coin.

[peter0425]

You should not dig to find your Old wallet specially in that long years as the value of Bitcoin those days are really cheaper than what we had today and that will only brings you bad thoughts as you had sold your currencies when still so low.

I sometimes thought of the same thing imagining that i am gaining 0.005-0.01 bitcoin for weekly payments in 2017 and all i do is withdrawing those amount instantly each week not taking the idea of Holding.

so Lets move on and accumulate more bitcoin again now.

[bitterguy28]

Feeling sad for you OP , but since that happens 7 years ago ? i think it is acceptable mistake on your part now and besides you have nothing to do with that but only to look at and feel sorry so best to let it be.

While Bitcoin is now on the highest Value , why not consider trying your luck again in Altcoins?
maybe you can find Gems like how you find Bitcoin back in 2014.

[mynonce]

...

OP, what would you do now (you would have ~10 BTC or ~500,000 USD) if you hadn't sold?

[Jawhead999]

-snip-

I have to disagree with your opinion

Bitcoin isn't on the highest value now, it's around $50K while the highest ATH was $69K and I didn't call $69K is the highest value of Bitcoin. There're a lot speculations Bitcoin could reach $100K, $1M etc but surely it will takes times and depends on the holders.

Investing on altcoins and wait for 7 years to get insane profit is really gambling, I bet most of them already turn become deadcoin or shitcoins because altcoins only for short times.

[leea-1334]

Well I did not do my own 100% calculations but I know if I did,,, counting all the BTC and especially altcoins like DOGE I would definitely be a millionaire in my country (so maybe something like 150k in USD total which is plenty of money to retire sort of if you are single and do not mind living outside the city).

Do not take this lesson hard and take it as a learning for 2030

life goes on, we can't deny it and even if we regret it it won't come back again.
Everything has its time and indeed, a few years ago bitcoin was arguably less valuable and only used as a means of exchange for games and we certainly never know what will happen in the future at that time including the price of bitcoin.
I think what's over is just let it go and make it a beautiful experience because at least we've held bitcoins in large quantities

That's right, becoming a millionaire is only a matter of time and don't let the experiences that happened in the past few years and the mistakes of a few years ago are now repeated.

A lesson that I learned here is never sell

I don’t know why some people always feel regret when they see things like this. That you missed the opportunity to hold for long and become a millionaire now doesn’t mean that you are not going to get that kind of opportunity any longer. The question is what plans have you laid in place this time around to help you get to that level in the next years to come, or are you still the same person that you were years ago?

There is still the same opportunity to get rich through Bitcoin. I started around 2013, I was neither sure of where Bitcoin was going to end up, and I was not able to hold for long. But, I learnt my lesson in 2017 and I never made the same mistake this time around, and I am also not going to be making the same mistake in the next halving that would come. It’s up to you.

[Accardo]

No matter how early you regret it's always too late. Op you just have to move on and think about the next ten years of bitcoin, how you will look back and thank yourself for accepting that you made a mistake but didn't quit along the line. Bitcoin is still at it's early stage and they is nothing to regret. Just hold your self and try those things that fetched you such a huge amount of bitcoin in the past again.

[Question123]

You did not know that bitcoin will become a high price and just like me I already sold most of the bitcoin that I have before but I did not regret it because I know there is some opportunity that will open to me even I did not become a millionaire think about the present not the past because if you always thinking and regreting your self about what happened in the past you will not grow or not focus to oppotunity fhat we have right now.
