At How Much Price You First Saw The Bitcoin?

[taufik123]

I also started to appear and be active in 2016 and found out about Bitcoin from my friend. I saw the price of Bitcoin was still around $400 in 2016.
But when I was a beginner at that time, I thought it was a high price just for an unclear digital asset (at that time).
But over time Bitcoin continues to grow and the price even exceeds $1k, according to me it is extraordinary.

Once collected 3BTC from an airdrop and I sold it in the $2k price area and that was the first money I got in Bitcoin, and that was quite a lot for me as a beginner at that time. and if you can hold it until now, of course it will get more and more and go up thousands of percent.

I remember the first time I got into Bitcoin when the price was around $300 probably in the mid of the year 2014. It was easy to earn a few mBTC through faucets back then. I also recall spending a lot on gambling and purchasing various items such as a new laptop. Looking back, I wish I had saved a big portion of my earnings until now but it is what it is i guess.

I believe that if you have the patience to hold onto your Bitcoin without touching it for years it can potentially result in a huge profits. For example let's say I held 10 Bitcoins back in 2014 when each Bitcoin was priced at $3k. If I had done so I would currently have around $267K which is really insane

More than $1000  back in 2017 I got 2 Bitcoinin one of my campaigns but unfortunately, I traded it too soon if I have waited for a few months it could have been ten times of price when I traded it, can't blame myself need money that time and I was out of a job.

I remember it was a great feeling owning 1 Bitcoin much more owning 2 Bitcoin, but now it's almost impossible to own 1 Bitcoin from its current price, but right now each sat is important if we based future predictions of Bitcoin's price.

I first saw the Bitcoin price around $1,000. I knew since I had previously applied to this site for a job that paid you based on your posts. I recall when even newbies could join in signature campaigns, and I'm glad I was one of them, but I didn't earn Bitcoin that way. I gained Bitcoin through participating in bounty programs, but sadly, the value of my token, which was worth 1 Bitcoin, vanished in a matter of days due to a hacking attack on the project. I was heartbroken and remorseful for not turning the token into Bitcoin. I'm only sharing this story because it's still fresh in my mind about what occurred to me at the time. And now, looking forward to get 1 Bitcoin soon.

Oh I remember this clearly! I started on June 2017 and I remember prices of BTC in the market around ~$2,000 and it was consistent at that point. I also remember signature campaigns paying around 0.01 BTC/week and I thought to myself that the offers were really low especially for my rank!

Looking back, I wished I could have HODLed and saved at least 1/3 of what I initially earned during the years of participating on campaign signatures. If BTC has the potential of skyrocketing its price when we all first started, what is stopping it from skyrocketing once again from its current price recently?

I do think that once the next fork happens, its price would definitely reach an ATH where this could be a good investment opportunity for everyone.

My Bitcoin journey is not long but I got introduced to Bitcoin in mid 2020. I don't know the exact price of Bitcoin then. But I remember I first invested in Bitcoin when the price of Bitcoin was around 23 thousand.

I wouldn't like to disrupt this fun moment, but I will want you op to understand that if I am not mistaken similar thread or topic already existed, so it's better next you use search option to see similar topics. However, I started hearing about bitcoin when the price was around below $2k thereabouts but never pay much attention to it.

Though I really missed those days and I believe it was due to lack of understanding about bitcoin, man was so ignorant of it. Just take a good look at price today you will understand that whatever we see we should always try out to utilize the little opportunity even though we don't venture into it fully but at least there are some certain funds we could risk at then that would have turned one's life for good.

Well, it was introduced to me when the price was just over $100..... but I did not buy at that price. I thought it was Monopoly money and I thought it will be shutdown by the governments of the world, like they did with other people who created their own currencies.

It was "Cloak and Dagger" money back then and people bought it secretly on street corners in my country. I did more research and I figured out that it cannot be shutdown and I found a way to buy it online, so I started buying at $300+ 

[kryptqnick]

It was in the hundreds for me as well, I think somewhere around $400. But back then I thought it was quite expensive because I compared Bitcoin with fiat currencies, and there was no currency as valuable against the dollar that I knew of, so it seemed like a lot of money.
I remember how amazed I was when it started growing rapidly in 2017, suddenly worth thousands of dollars. But I don't regret what I sold and at what price because I sold out of necessity rather than out of greed or impatience. I mean, I didn't have much faith in Bitcoin initially, but that wasn't why I sold.

It's really a great feelings when I was searching my transections through Bitcoin in my old Coinbase Account . And saw that I have made many transections when the Bitcoin price was around 586$ only. Yes it's only Because this Bitcoin already hit above 60k $. I am enjoying today's moment because today I have imagined my past and it was the golden era of Bitcoin. I am talking about 2016.

Today I have again learnt a good lesson that Hold is Gold. I have made many transections and I had a decent amount of Bitcoins but If I could hold them then I would become one of a successful Holder. But my luck wasn't so good I think. But I still have chances because Bitcoin is now also in a very cheap price. So Always Keep Trust On Bitcoin And Hold Tightly. At the end of time you will win surely.

The words "Hold is Gold" hit me hard and that's the gospel truth. There will always be problems and attacks but those that dare to hold will hopefully end up holding the gold. I came into this sector 1-2 years ago because I was in and out of the bitcoin space until I fully settled last year. I earned my first Bitcoin last year when the price was about $19,804.78 and since then I have tried to hodl as much as I can. I have been tempted to sell due to many financial challenges but I have been able to successfully sort them out without changing my investment plans. I am hoping that the price will go up so that I can be able to invest in areas that will assist me is saving more to increase my Bitcoin hodling. I always wished I came earlier than this but I am still grateful that I was introduced to this sector because it is better late than never.

The first time I saw the bitcoin, it was about the price you quoted. To be honest, I only saw the price, and I wanted to buy btc, but I didn’t do it at that time. But I remembered the price tag of about 600$ for the rest of my life and, most likely, I will often remember it as a very favorable price that I missed.

That's right, that era was really golden. In the sense that people who bought bitcoin then got rich very well.

I learned the lesson that bitcoin should be bought when you first found out about it. Otherwise it will be too late.

Of course, there are always chances. Anyone who is willing to invest in btc. Even now, when the price has increased 45 times since I first saw bitcoin.

I first saw Bitcoin during 2015 with a price of 5000php or equivalent to 100$. I don't know why this price recorded on charts available on the internet but I’m pretty sure that I saw Bitcoin at that level since I manage to cashout some of my profit from faucet and dice gambling through our local bitcoin wallet app called coins.ph.

I relate on the hold part because I hold of my early earnings until the 2017 bull run before I cash out big time to fiat. Looking back at my wallet history brings back memories how I missed becoming a millionaire by losing all my Bitcoin on dice gambling. I think this is my only regrets when I reminiscing my Bitcoin past. It's more painful to lose your early holdings on gambling to early take profit.

[skarais]

Regretting the past may not be a good choice for everyone who until now is still building a better investment portfolio. The past is a memory, and of course there are mixed feelings when we have to remember it. I don't really remember how much bitcoin was worth back then, but maybe $600 - $900 when I was a newbie, way too cheap compared to now.

Meanwhile, being a holder is an option for anyone because you still have to adjust your financial condition when you are planning long-term investment. Everyone agree that bitcoin holders are the ones who have already taken the hefty returns, but only if they ignore the market from then on. Many of them have sold bitcoin in ATH 2017, so I think we're just having a really hard time finding bitcoin holders who bought their bitcoin in 2010 - 2016.

It's not a bad thing to hodl but we shouldn't make it look like those who are buying and selling aren't doing something great. Look at what Lazlo did with the 10k BTC for two pizzas and how it's believed to have started what we've today as the mechanism for Bitcoin transactions. If everyone hodls, there won't be a value to Bitcoin. Its value is derived from the exchange between buyers and sellers.

Bitcoin ranged between $720 – $750 when I first heard of it late 2016. Then I read the history of Bitcoin and discovered there was even a time it sold for less than $0.1 or so. My regret was not knowing about Bitcoin earlier but my consolation is that it's not too late for those of us buying it now. Those who will buy Bitcoin after 2025 will regret not buying it now because price will have gone up real high.

[GideonGono]

I first saw or heard Bitcoin when it was just around $8-9 per piece, couldn't believe that a single question would make me realize and make me feel so old (LOL).
Now that I think about it I had so many opportunity to hoard back then and it is hard or sadden's me to back track my early transactions specially those which I just spend to gamble for fun, I should have manage my money well but you know what they say experience is the best way to learn.

[darkangel11]

I saw it first in 2013 when it was $100-150, but I got involved after the 2013 bull market when it begun to crash down from 1k. There were many different times and prices when I bought bitcoin. I don't remember what my first ever transaction was, but it had to be somewhere between $400 and $600 in 2014. I remember that I kept buying throughout the year and I also got into some signature campaigns when bitcoin was cheap and kept the earned coins.

Keep holding guys, bitcoin is the real sound money. When you get to a point at which inflation costs you $50k a year, you start looking for alternatives.

^BTC price did not reach $1k beyond 2016, it is in 2017.

What? Did you miss the part when I said I bought when it was crashing down from 1k? I did not buy at 1k, but on its way down from it to the bottom of the 2014-15 bear market.

[death69]

Now, I remember when I first got wind of Bitcoin, it was valued at $300. Those were the days, weren't they? Your post certainly rekindles the feeling of missed opportunities. "HODL" is indeed a strategy that has paid off for many, but it's essential to remember that it's not the only strategy.

The sentiment of regret over missed opportunities is understandable. However, it's vital not to dwell on the past but to learn from it. Bitcoin is still at a relatively affordable price, and it's not too late to adjust your investment strategy. Yes, HODL may be golden, but it's just as crucial to keep an open mind for other opportunities.

[rhodelmabanal]

i first saw btc at 17,881$ if i am not mistaken it was on year 2016 to 2017,i thought that was a highest price of bitcoin that was a bull run and many people wanted to buy bitcoin that time and i though bitcoin is so expensive on that time, but 2021 bull run come and btc rise up to 60k$ above price im in a big regret gor not buying btc. I believe not only me who has a regret for not buying we don't know how or what is the future of crypto so we can't say that our decision is right or wrong it depends on luck i think.

[ektotanes]

I would be happy to go back in time and be able to buy Bitcoin so cheaply
Bitcoin was at about 50k when I first saw it. Since then, I have been holding and accumulating it in my Ownr wallet. To be honest, I have never regretted investing my money in Bitcoin.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Some people think they are very late to Bitcoin, but I still remind them that there were even people who were opportuned to see Bitcoin at a very low price, but they couldn't hold for long before selling off, so probably most of them who are saying they are late might have still sold off so quickly if they had bought Bitcoin at a very low price. You really were opportune to see Bitcoin at a low price compared to when I first saw it at $3000 in 2019. Even if I had bought 2 or more bitcoins then, I would have made a huge amount of money when the ATH came, but for some reason, I was not really grounded in Bitcoin knowledge then and also was not so financially stable then, but I believe there is still time to buy the dip now.
