~snip~ he sold all the coins instantly , and now he is one of those who is crying for losing a chance to become a millionaire lol.
this story is almost the same as the offers of wins to be Bitcoin is the lowest but look at it now lol.

Maybe your friend is one of the many people who regrets that it's so great today. I don't think they think the future about its value when selling. Needless to regret, today the most important thing is to take advantage of all the opportunities we have to be more than what we have right now. We just need to learn to be able to be like the title of the author of this topic.

There was a friend of mine that has accumulate at least 50 bitcoin back in 2012 from a small trades , but when he earns more than half year after? he sold all the coins instantly , and now he is one of those who is crying for losing a chance to become a millionaire lol.
this story is almost the same as the offers of wins to be Bitcoin is the lowest but look at it now lol.

That is because he doesn't know that Bitcoin will reach $60k. If he just knows it or everyone knows it, we gonna expect that majority will hold their Bitcoin and I'd see no life in the market. This is to support the volatility of the market and it keeps until forever. We can't hide our fear and that is why many were selling their crypto when it dumps.
But if that was going to happen to me, I don't cry nor I have to regret but being glad I was knowing Bitcoin will increase its value in the future.

because indeed we can't even know what the future will be like, including this bitcoin.
for people in that year, bitcoin could be said to be less valuable compared to now because in that year bitcoin was still at a very cheap price unlike now.
cry or laugh in the future no one will know until it happens even if you laugh now you might as well be like them crying in the future

Alrighty, I am a bit guilty of this. I somehow learned back then that Bitcoin was indeed a cryptocurrency but my running thought in those days was that it was only used by criminals the in dark web. That was my only knowledge about Bitcoin back then making me shrugging it off and refusing to learn more about it. I could've bought a little bit when I just cleared up my misconception.
I can imagine that friend of yours reacting to the price right now even before the ATH of 60k.

Very Inspirational post but frustrating to those who early learn bitcoin but did not pay attention instead denied the possibilities of gaining .

But he also enjoys the benefits right? What your friend should regret is that he didn't know that bitcoin had more future potential and that made him cry over his mistake. But I'm sure he's not the only one to suffer the same fate as there are quite a few other stories today about his carelessness in this investment.

Apart from that, there are a lot of people who either squandered the opportunity to buy bitcoins when the big dump in the past hit $5K or they weren't brave enough to buy during 2020. I don't expect them to cry all the way because of that, but they should start to realize that bitcoin has something to fight for for a longer time.

People are different when it comes on handing out regrettable situations whether they do really mind off much and wont tend to move on because they do just waste up their once in a lifetime opportunity to get rich.

Well theres no turning back now because whats done is done and theres no way that you could really take it back.Charged it to experience because everything seems to be have
no potential but you wouldnt know on what would happen next.

[worldofcoins]

Man this is pretty amazing. I also love finding stories like this out there where people had no idea what bitcoin maybe even was or certainly how big it’s potential was.  I see this a lot with the collectibles hobby where people were gifted a 1btc Casascius coin but end up just throwing it in a drawer and forgetting all about it. Hopefully this person just stored it somewhere and forgot about it but was able to recover it eventually. I use bitcoin for my fantasy football league and we’ve had situations where even 3rd place ended up winning a ton due to bitcoins price rise.

When bitcoin launched in 2009, most people didn't believe in it and claimed it as a scam, but those who invested a small amount at that time now must be more prosperous people. For example, 25 bitcoin may not look worth holding ten years ago, but imagine if that person still has these 25 bitcoins worth 10,48,510 USD; it must be the luckiest.
That's why it is said the more you show patience more you earn the profit.

[fullhdpixel]

I really liked this post. It's fun to lose some time. What evidence did I get today?Of course I got proof of that.Those who won were given dollars but those who did not win were given bitcoins.Today they got a lot of money from that bitcoin. This is a very good post.

This is a really good example of the rejected cornerstone turning out to be the chief cornerstone. Just look at how they gave the bitcoins to the person that they believed to be the loser, showing that they don’t even show any regards at all for Bitcoin, and now if they should look back on what happened then, they would really laugh at themselves for thinking that Bitcoin is something that is meant for losers.

And if the person who received that Bitcoin back then truly knows the value of what they got, they would hold it for a long time knowing that it is a really good investment that they got for free, and they will surely reap the benefits if they did.

[dezoel]

Funny thing is, if it happened that the person that received these 25 bitcoins sold them back then because he thought that they were worthless, whenever he remembers that he once received 25 bitcoins for free, he would be regretting it that he ended up selling the bitcoins. Because, I know very well that back then a lot of people never really liked Bitcoin, and once they get it they look for how to sell it thinking that it is not really worth it. 

But, when they eventually look back and see that they owned even up to one Bitcoin, seeing the price today would make them regret that they even sold it. No one would even give you one Bitcoin for free this time around, not to talk of giving out up to 25 bitcoins. I really hope that whoever received that 25 Bitcoin was able to hold it for long to be able to gain something from it.

[LUCKMCFLY]

They're not really losers. They're also winners actually. It's just that they did not make it to the top.

Anyway, I also saw this image before in a tweet. The humor is heavy with lessons. But isn't it amusing that even in those very early years Bitcoin was already some sort of a thing worth to be given as a prize? Although it was only given to those who got the lower ranks, it was still a prize given to winners. So it must have already been treated with value.

Exactly, despite the fact that Bitcoin wasn't had just started and hadn't gained so much value at the time, some persons still saw the value in it in its little beginning, so much value as to even give it out as a prize.
Let's say the person who got the reward of 25 bitcoins was wise,/patient enough to still hold unto it, he'll be dwelling in lots of funds now.

Well eventually everyone who owns BTC or a fraction of BTC will never be a loser, as long as someone has knowledge of BTC or what its economy represents, they will be or will have an advantage over the average, especially those who still do not know or do not believe in BTC and its deflationary economy, I think that all this is on the way for many people to become winners, those who have always wanted to be winners and have not been able to feel it, the time is now to buy some BTC, it is never too late.

[lienfaye]

At that time Bitcoin has a low value and thinking on how to convert it for real money would probably the goal of those who received it as consolation. Looking back, who would have thought it will reach the price that we can never imagine for just a digital coin? Its really amazing. Many of us regret not holding Bitcoin when the price is still cheap but it happened already and we cant turn back time.

What matter now is the lesson that we learned that we can use to decide for the future. So lets be wise and dont let a simple correction make you panic.

But the fact is that when bitcoin went down this made some people panic, it was a natural thing because here what was at stake was money. But don't panic too much, because it won't do anything.
Before investing in bitcoin, make sure you understand the risks that will occur, it will make us more comfortable. Plus this has also happened some time ago. And it is proven that bitcoin is able to recover again.

you are right. other than that, it will be a very important lesson for the people who get those bitcoins. I just hope that they still hold on to the bitcoins they have, but that seems difficult considering that in 2017 the price of bitcoin was also a high pump and a lot of people were tempted to sell it at that time.
well, however, this is also a very important lesson for us that we should never underestimate the slightest gift, especially in the crypto world, because we don't know whether we are holding a diamond or not. maybe nowadays, they have stories to people that they used to have more than 25 bitcoins. well, all the way i search for bitcoin, i never have tens of bitcoins in my wallet

Bitcoin is the first crypto so if you have a better understanding with it, you will know that your holding very valuable piece and you wont just sold it immediately but selling it on the 2017 peak is also not bad judging how long they hold their btc and the starting price the btc have.

The story is nice and it makes me motivated right now to hold the prize that I won in a contest, I got the same vibes with the story because the prize also consist of consist of tokens and cash where I only got tokens because I am on the lowest level but I will surely hold the tokens because the project seems nice and the token has a utility.

all no one knows about bitcoin until now, looking at flashbacks 10 years ago bitcoin was nothing, but now bitcoin has value even though it is experiencing such terrible turmoil, it can't be said that the loser is actually only sincerity in holding bitcoin as the winner

[Tumanggor]

I don't know if something similar has already been posted on the forum, but still. I love these artifacts. This is the story of bitcoin, the story of how people felt about it at the time, 10 years ago.

I vaguely remember that it seemed like someone had posted about this status on a topic but the topic had already sunk

if we look closely, we find many people who regret ignoring bitcoin a few years ago, I am also one of those who continue to feel regret for my triviality in bitcoin a few years ago

I still remember a lot of bitcoin faucets that gave large amounts of satoshi rewards, if at that time I was serious about it, surely now I already have a lot of bitcoins from these faucets but what can I do, time can't be regretted

[stomachgrowls]

No one really knows on what would be the future looks like and this is why we do really commit out mistakes that we couldnt really turn it back and everything would really be just part of your memory and experience that you have accumulated some coins in the past.

Yes, it is really giving out some stress and regret feeling but whats done is done and theres no turning back but its really good to see that we do have that kind of history
and if we do believe on that then we might able to be that millionaire as of this year on current value.

In my case, I was still young and I don't have any resources to investigate the internet at my home at that time so it's not really my fault that's what I'm telling myself to avoid those frustrating feelings that have been hunting me for years, all because I didn't take the chance to search well. Unlike others who took it as a joke when they had the chance to acquired it from faucets for free or bought it for lowest price but they denied it and laugh it out loud until they became the clown today.

[aku_sultan20]

it may feel like a joke come true bro, bitcoin's past is like someone had a candy bar they gave to everyone for small pleasures no thoughts of regretting later. the diagram above is impressive when the buying price is from each year up sweet story of bitcoin. those who succeeded there were also those who were stupid / accidentally saved this btc. I don't regret I just found out about bitcoin at this time and know that it's touching the price of bitcoin this second whatever the reason we will end up in trading.

[Rufsilf]

This picture shows well the era when bitcoin was not taken seriously. Few understood the potential of this asset at all. As a result, at current prices, the winner received 2 000 times less than the loser.

Indeed, who would've thought that those 25 BTC as a consolation prize will turn into an almost $1 Million today. Hopefully, atleast one of those participants had successfully hold the said bitcoins for atleast 10 years and that their life was changed because of it.
I'm also guilty about this because bitcoin was introduced to me way back 2015 when bitcoins was valued $10k+, if I'm not mistaken. But sadly, it didn't got my attention because I just saw it as another form of scam and I was so busy on other things to like getting real money at that time. To make the story short, I began using bitcoin and this forum early 2018 and the rest was history, bitcoin also changed my life.

[m2017]

An interesting "blast from the past." We need to create a collection book with similar stories.

Suppose that if you buy 25 bitcoins now, it will not bring you the same huge profit in 10 years as in the case of this artifact. Because the cryptomarket is maturing, there is more money in the system, and less volatility. One thing is certain, if bitcoin doesn't make you a millionaire already, it still allows you to keep the value + multiply.
