"Bitcoin investment is the key to success"

[Septex]

Although I am a new user I haven't spent much time here on this forum. But I already had some knowledge about Bitcoin since mid 2022. At that time I was in college and knew about Bitcoin since that time I saved my college stipend money and invested it in Bitcoin and gradually saved fractions of good Bitcoins there. When I collected and invested my stipend, Bitcoin was at a much lower value, and I made a lot of profit at this point. I might have made more profit if I had held it longer, but I bought the thing by selling bitcoins for one of my essential tasks. I had an opportunity to study in university after completing my college life and there I really needed a laptop but didn't have enough money to buy it, family financial problems were also a lot. Having no choice, I sold my invested bitcoins to buy a laptop for my work needs, and I decided to study there as well as freelancing. However, the current bullishness of Bitcoin that I see in the market seems to indicate that Bitcoin will rise even more very soon.  If I had held on to my bitcoins I might have made more profit when the bull market started. But I have no way to do this because I don't have money, but I will try to raise money and invest again in bitcoins to hold on. However, I have benefited from selling my bitcoins currently and using them for my needs, but I feel like I missed out on a huge profit.

Why are you regretting it? You said it yourself, you sold the BTC for a laptop — for your "essential tasks". What was your alternative? Fail your classes just so you can have more bitcoin?

Don't put too much importance on gains. Because knowledge(depending on what course you're taking and why you're taking it in the first place, I guess) can go a long long way.

[bluebit25]

Personal investment is mostly for material goals, and when you have met life's difficulties through investment, it is a success. So there's nothing to hesitate about, because you yourself understand that the journey has just begun, and the opportunities for bitcoin are never ending.

I remember in the past I once sold 1BTC/$300 just to spend on living expenses, and to this day I am always grateful to bitcoin for the opportunity it brings not only in terms of profit but all jobs in this field. In the age of information technology, when many people still do not have the opportunity to access the Internet, for those of us who know bitcoin and have investment opportunities and even jobs, it is always a great luck.

There's no need to regret because you already used the money in a good thing. that you have to purchase a thing which is surely helps you in your freelance, studies, as well as here in forum. What really important is you already have knowledge about investing in bitcoin so if ever you have a money to invest, at least you already know what are you going to do with your coins.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Hardly can we eat our cake and still have it, if you must do well in bitcoin investment and cryptocurrencies in general, you must learn not to regret actions you yourself took in good fate.
You might have sold your bitcoin to buy a laptop, And feel that you shouldnt have sold the bitcoin, but have you thought of what you stand to benefit from the laptop you bought? I believe you bought the laptop because you really needed it for your study, why then are you regretting?, would you have done without the laptop? Then why don't you sell it and invest the money back into bitcoin.

Lets see how that goes...

[NeilLostBitCoin]

You exchanged your Bitcoin for a laptop, which is a practical decision considering your needs. It would be best to have a laptop for your work and freelancing, so there is no reason for you to regret selling it. Bitcoin cannot function as a laptop, and while you may not have sold at peak value, you are fortunate to have enough Bitcoin earnings or holdings to purchase a laptop. Some individuals sell their Bitcoin during low market conditions due to unforeseen circumstances and do not profit from it.

I understand how you feel. Next time, try to sell your holdings at a price you won't regret later. Set a price with the mindset that you won't regret it, even if it continues to increase.

[AprilioMP]

Urgent needs sometimes make people sell their Bitcoin because there is no other option to cash in other than making the decision to sell Bitcoin.
Other benefits you will get are greater when you buy equipment to support your needs such as a laptop by selling Bitcoin because if there were other options that you could cash in, I don't think you would make the decision to sell Bitcoin which you want to keep as a long-term investment.

Once you have a laptop, you can actually complete your tasks and you still have the opportunity to return to trying to earn Bitcoin with the income you might get through the work you do with the laptop.
It is not always good to maintain if other very important needs are ignored.

Your laptop is cool. I really want to have it and plan to buy it when Bitcoin reaches $45k because currently the need for a new laptop is not urgent. So I can still do my work using my old laptop and hold the Bitcoin I currently have in my wallet.

[bayu7adi]

I think Bitcoin isn't the key to success but its an alternative way to reach success (by money). If Bitcoin were the key to success, everyone should be successful using or at least involving Bitcoin in their businesses or their job... but in reality, that's not the case. Moreover, there are many ways to achieve success without Bitcoin. (I don't mean to underestimate Bitcoin, but it fact).

You seem very confident about Bitcoin, but it appears to be based on your feelings as you haven't provided mathematical reasons for it. According to the data I've gathered, in mid-2022, its price was around $20k. While it's true that you can profit from investing in Bitcoin and selling it recently, it's not the only path to success. Congratulation!! Bitcoin being able to help the financial burden of your education.

[Dunamisx]

Indeed bitcoin is a key to having financial success in life, but unfortunately enough not everyone have the experience of this on their little time being with bitcoin, when we don't have the desirable knowledge of how bitcoin network operates, how to make a investment and earn from it, we may only be of partaker but not having anything to show that we have indeed made a success with bitcoin, we must understand the idea others uses to get what the generates as result and be ready to do it the way it is being expected.

[Nheer]

Bitcoin was at a much lower value, and I made a lot of profit at this point. I might have made more profit if I had held it longer, but I bought the thing by selling bitcoins for one of my essential tasks. I had an opportunity to study in university after completing my college life and there I really needed a laptop but didn't have enough money to buy it, family financial problems were also a lot. Having no choice, I sold my invested bitcoins to buy a laptop for my work needs, and I decided to study there as well as freelancing.

It doesn’t really matter; being greedy always stems from being profit-blind, and greed shouldn’t be allowed in any kind of investing. Why did you initially make the investment? Was there no financial benefit to you? If not, you should be pleased that your investment was profitable and that you were able to make a meaningful use of it. Don't regret it because it was done for a worthy cause. You should be appreciative because there are people who invested in bitcoin but were unable to profit from it. Since education is a vital aspect of life, you made the proper choice in selling those coins to get a laptop for yourself. Bitcoin is an investment that you may participate in at any moment, so it's never too late to start investing again.

However, the current bullishness of Bitcoin that I see in the market seems to indicate that Bitcoin will rise even more very soon.  If I had held on to my bitcoins I might have made more profit when the bull market started. But I have no way to do this because I don't have money, but I will try to raise money and invest again in bitcoins to hold on. However, I have benefited from selling my bitcoins currently and using them for my needs, but I feel like I missed out on a huge profit.

Bitcoin has a lot of potential, but no one knows how far it can go in price. As the next bitcoin halving approaches, everyone is expecting a tremendous price increase, much like the last one. Since then, we've been in a bear market, and you may have been lucky to have sold your bitcoins since the market is full of ups and downs, and there was a point when we had a tremendous fall, so who knows if you would have sold at a loss during that period, due to the downturn, many people ended up selling at a loss.
Holding bitcoin when you have financial problems seems pointless to me, why suffer when you have money to spend? I'm not suggesting it's a good thing, but when you're desperate and have no other option, you can sell a portion of it but not all of it.

[coinremitter]

I appreciate your honest sharing of your Bitcoin journey. It's commendable that you utilized your initial investment to address essential needs, such as education and a laptop. While you may have missed out on potential gains due to the recent bullish market, remember that financial decisions are often about balancing immediate needs with long-term goals.

Considering the current market trends, it's wise to explore ways to gradually reinvest in Bitcoin when feasible. Keep an eye on your financial situation, and when possible, consider allocating a portion of your funds for long-term investments. The crypto space is dynamic, and opportunities may arise again. Best of luck with your future investments!

[AicecreaME]

Sure it is.

But there's a condition for that in order to be the key to success. Investment is not just about putting your money in an asset, or anything that will give you money in the long run, it is also about discipline, and how you will manage your profit and holdings. If you're the kind of person that will eventually do some panic selling or always selling your holdings just because you wanted to buy something you want, then I'm afraid it ain't gonna last long before you could sweep all of your hodlings.

[Husires]

Do not let greed control you, as sometimes you think that the price of Bitcoin will rise sharply. Instead of buying one computer, you can buy two, and so on. Suddenly the price collapses and you are forced to sell for half the price of what you wanted to sell a while ago. If you can keep Bitcoin until it rises to the price of 100,000, then do so. And sell when everyone is greedy and wants to buy.

You made the right decision at the right time because it is good you get what you want at the right time than wait for long without having it done.
Your initial plan of saving bitcoin during your college days is the best thing you have don and it has encouraged you because Bitcoin saved you when you need it, therefore, you did no t regret your saving and you are happy Bitcoin is still here for you to invest again.

Since you have freelancing work doing right now, you can still be saving in bitcoin through DCA method; meaning you will be be saving some percentage of your savings in bitcoin monthly or weekly.

[PrivacyG]

Why are you regretting it? You said it yourself, you sold the BTC for a laptop — for your "essential tasks". What was your alternative? Fail your classes just so you can have more bitcoin?

I presume OP regrets they could not have any choice other than purchasing a laptop with their invested money.

A lot of times people wrongly believe the path to success is well paved and every millionaire had no tough times but invested close to nothing and had an increasingly better life style and social status.

It is probably rather a melancholic thing than a regret.  The thought and memory of having Bitcoin one day that could of been worth more now.  But it is what it is.  OP is not late anyway.  I can call it 'Missing the Train' if some body misses a Bitcoin run.  OP has not missed the train yet.

[tbct_mt2]

Nothing to regret when you invest in your education because it will help to have jobs and earn money in rest of your life. It is essential for you and regret about this educational investment is unreasonable.

Be realistic like Bitcoin from now will not give you like x100, x1000 profit as it did years ago. ^[1] It's because Bitcoin marketcap is big already and assume it can help you to x2 or x4 your capital in 2024 or 2025, I am sure it is not what to feel regret too much.

Because with education and jobs, you can earn x2 or x4 of that money easily.

[Uruhara]

I more or less understand what you feel OP. You have a little regret after you see how bitcoin continues to increase this year. In fact, over the last 3 months Bitcoin has continued to close the month with positive increases. And when you see this of course you will feel a strange feeling within you. But at least you have done the right thing. You sell the bitcoins you have collected to buy a laptop that you really need for your college assignments. So all you need to do is don't give up on making more money and start reinvesting in bitcoin with DCA. And remember don't FOMO. Because markets don't always go up, there will always be a correction. But because it is currently approaching the Bitcoin Halving, expecting a big decline is a bit unlikely.

But you also have to stay focused on your studies. Don't let your concentration be disturbed. It's better to reduce your time looking at the market. Unless you are studying the market in preparation for accumulating bitcoin again. But if you don't have any plans to invest again. So it's better for you to concentrate more on your studies. At least you have enjoyed selling your bitcoins to buy a laptop that you really need.

[kawetsriyanto]

Although I am a new user I haven't spent much time here on this forum.

I suggest you spend more time in this forum. You need to get more knowledge and experience. This forum is a place for Bitcoiners to share and discuss anything about Bitcoin and crypto as a whole. Although it is not a must to be active in this forum, but you must get more benefits if you become an active member here. Trust me!!

At that time I was in college and knew about Bitcoin since that time I saved my college stipend money and invested it in Bitcoin and gradually saved fractions of good Bitcoins there. When I collected and invested my stipend, Bitcoin was at a much lower value, and I made a lot of profit at this point.

Having no choice, I sold my invested bitcoins to buy a laptop for my work needs, and I decided to study there as well as freelancing.

Selling your Bitcoin for laptop isn't a bad decision, specifically if you have no alternative at the moment. You also said that you have got profits, it means you succeed with your Bitcoin investment. So, you actually don't need to regret it, you have done the right way for your life.

By the way, if you keep your Bitcoin, you may get more profits but you can't study properly at university without a laptop. What for your Bitcoin asset if it can't help you? Everyone has a priority in his life, your priority was buying a laptop at that time. You've done the right way by selling your Bitcoin asset and bought a laptop. You can start collecting again Bitcoin when you have money in the future.

~I will try to raise money and invest again in bitcoins to hold on. However, I have benefited from selling my bitcoins currently and using them for my needs, but I feel like I missed out on a huge profit.

You mean you have collected some Bitcoin and you have just sold your Bitcoin?
If it is not for an urgent need, you probably still don't understand when the best time to sell your Bitcoin. We are heading the bullish season, Bitcoiners sell their Bitcoins during the bullish season. They will wait for the Bitcoin price passed their last ATH, then they prepare to sell the Bitcoins. I don't know whether you have an urgent need again, but surely you will regret it because you sold your Bitcoin too early.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Any investment has a specific purpose. Someone dreams of buying a house and is waiting for the right price, while someone needs a laptop, and for this, they sell their Bitcoins. It would be a mistake if you, OP, spent money from the profit on useless things, but you bought an item that can serve as an assistant for you to earn money in the future. I did the same, but in my history, this is already the second laptop and several household appliances. Why else should we invest if not to provide ourselves with what we need? I often repeat that life is given once, and waiting for a successful tomorrow can be very difficult if we do not take care of today.

[Z_MBFM]

Maybe the op's target was to buy a laptop and that's why he's considering it a big success. So he misses out on the bigger benefits of Bitcoin. Long-term holding is required to make large profits from Bitcoin. But the success of Bitcoin depends on who is the target, like op's target was to buy a laptop. So this is a big success for him. So since he was able to fulfill his dream I think it gave him a good experience and he will be encouraged to invest in Bitcoin in the future and diversify for the long term.

[CRAIC]

HP Elitbook with keyboard backlight is very cool. You did the right thing

[2Pizza410000BTC]

Op why are you regretting? Nothing to regret here. You are successful in Bitcoin investment. you don't lose  No regrets at all to sell bitcoins at a profit for some essential work. There are thousands of investors who have suffered huge losses investing in Bitcoin. Many times they had to sell for much less than their investment value. You are a much more successful person than them. I would like to tell you to try again and hope you will succeed again.

[Jegileman]

OP, you’ve made the right choice by using the money to buy something essential for yourself. From that time till now, you must have added something of value to your life already even though it is not money. Bitcoin investment doesn’t mean you will not have to use it when you must need it, after all, all investments is for the purpose of spending when they grow to a reasonable amount of profit. It is only just advised to keep for the long time so as to earn maximum profit from it.

You haven’t lost anything OP, and the time to invest in bitcoin is very much early now looking at the anticipated amount bitcoin will be after the bull run. The decision is still with you to make now and if you invest now, you’ll still reap the profit after the bull run. You really got a very nice laptop for yourself.

This is a big mistake for the op and the op himself is feeling that he missed a big opportunity. Such stories are seen here from time to time so it is impossible to know how true they are. Stories from various new accounts are posted here as Merit is given to these stories.  Seeing that merit, others are encouraged to create such stories. I'm not blaming the op for posting something false. But I think so. But if this story is true then I'd say the op's decision to sell bitcoin at this time was wrong

[jasonjm]

Frankly speaking, there is no need to regret your past decisions. At that time, selling Bitcoin and buying a laptop for study was your best option. You decided to save your future as your family's financial conditions were not very good, which was a good decision.
No one has ever thought a few years ago that the BTC price might touch $70k. From a financial and investment perspective, having some BTC in your wallet is always a plus, and holding them for the long term will be advantageous, but if you need money, there is no harm in using those invested BTC because they are there for this exact purpose.

[tabas]

We used to hear stories about people that have held bitcoin long time ago, spent it and sold it for the things that they need during that time. And then, they'd say that they regret selling bitcoin at that price during that time because its price is way higher now than before. Guys, you don't have to regret it if you're able to solve a problem, bought something that you need by that time and able to satisfy yourselves. There's no need to think of how it would go if you are still holding it by now. Even I, I've got a lot of regrets before because I've sold a lot of times earlier and not even during the bull run. But to think of the reason why I have sold and used it for something meaningful and helped me to jump through that situation is satisfying even if we're missing the high potential price of it. We can always buy but yes, that's a different thing now because the price is higher than before.

[Ricardo11]

However, I have benefited from selling my bitcoins currently and using them for my needs, but I feel like I missed out on a huge profit.
[/quote]
You may have missed out on a great profit, But even more benefits are coming. Bitcoin price is currently above 38k, it will not stop here but it may cross 50k this year itself. And next year i.e. 2024 it will leave 100k. If you don't want to miss out on such a huge profit, you should definitely invest in Bitcoin if you can afford it. If you invest now for the long term, you can make huge profits. Because you should invest thinking about the future profit instead of thinking about the lost profit.

[ultrloa]

That's common mistake by newbies since they always live on the past. They should not regret any decision for selling at any timeline since if they are still in profit with that for sure all the efforts they made to gain some profit from bitcoin paid off. For sure the earnings they get from that goes to the right thing.

Right now they could start over again if they want to invest since great profits always comes to those people who decide to invest and hold so there's a chance for him to earn again if market goes bullish. For newbie they could start at current price but they also need to make sure that once they place their position they should be knowledgeable about bitcoin technical movements also they know how to handle the risk so that they will not get easily panic once there's correction might occur.

[Finestream]

You should not be regretting since you still benefit from selling your bitcoin, that's why you have your own laptop now that is very useful on you. One should only regret if he sells his bitcoin at a wrong timing and then use it to buy an unnecessary item. But in your case, although you have limited your profits by selling your bitcoin early but the fact that you sell while profiting, then its something that you should still be thankful.

What you should think by now is that you can always invest again when you have earned sufficient funds. Instead of regretting, motivate yourself more to invest for long term. This time, make sure to invest only on your spare money so that when you run out of budget, you still have your hard-earned money that you can use for emergency cases by not touching your bitcoin investment.

[Cantsay]

Indeed bitcoin is a key to having financial success in life, but unfortunately enough not everyone have the experience of this on their little time being with bitcoin, when we don't have the desirable knowledge of how bitcoin network operates, how to make a investment and earn from it, we may only be of partaker but not having anything to show that we have indeed made a success with bitcoin, we must understand the idea others uses to get what the generates as result and be ready to do it the way it is being expected.

Did you actually read through the entire thread? Or you just gave your opinion based on the title? If you read through what the Op wrote you’ll see that it’s slightly different from what one is to expect from a thread with such type of title.

Back to the Op, as mentioned by others, you used the money you realised from your bitcoin sales for something important so you shouldn’t regret anything, after all you already stated that you made profits from it so just focus on how to generate more funds to invest in bitcoin, because no matter how long you keep wallowing in regrets nothing will change until you decide to take actions that will cause a difference.

[tjtonmoy]

However, the current bullishness of Bitcoin that I see in the market seems to indicate that Bitcoin will rise even more very soon.

Or it could go down. Always remember that whatever goes up, comes down too. The crypto market is unpredictable and no one can say for sure what to come next. You have invested early and now you are at profit. Enjoy that instead of regretting your decision. We invest so that we can make a profit which will come in handy someday. You have bought things that you needed with that money. That's a good thing.
There's no perfect time when it comes to Bitcoin investment. You can invest whenever you want and it could be a small amount or a big amount. Just carry on with your life. Opportunities like this will come again. You will be able to accumulate more Bitcoin later on.

[mirakal]

Why are you regretting it? You said it yourself, you sold the BTC for a laptop — for your "essential tasks". What was your alternative? Fail your classes just so you can have more bitcoin?

Don't put too much importance on gains. Because knowledge(depending on what course you're taking and why you're taking it in the first place, I guess) can go a long long way.

I guess OP was too obsessed with his bitcoin profits, and have forgotten the reason why he invested in bitcoin in the first place. I understand that we all invest because for the love of money, because we need it to change and improve our current financial status. But we all have different priorities in life aside from money, for OP that is to finance his education needs as there is brighter future awaits after completing a college degree. In fact, you should be thankful OP because you have achieved it through the help of bitcoin. So regretting here is not valid. And you can always invest as long as you've earned the right amount for your bitcoin investment.

mk4 is right. Prioritize your education first because the moment you have completed your degree, there will be more good offers that will come your way. And there will be bigger chances to invest more in bitcoin because you now have a stable job that will sustain your bitcoin investment.

[bitzizzix]

No need to be sorry, you should feel proud. Because you can have a laptop even if you have to sacrifice your Bitcoins.
Because the reason you are selling it is because you need a laptop for work, so your job must be able to make money so you can still invest in Bitcoin. And make your experience of selling Bitcoin for laptops as your motivation because Bitcoin can make your wishes come true, and you have to be more active to be able to earn money and invest in Bitcoin then Bitcoin will make your next wish come true. And invest in Bitcoin for the long term, so you will get much bigger profits and you can realize whatever you want.

It is true that no one can predict the price of cryptocurrencies accurately, so it is important for us that if we have achieved the profit we have determined, it would be better for us to take a little profit so that we can use it for necessary purposes, because we don't know for sure how long that price will last. can survive and if we have missed this opportunity then we have to wait again when the price can return to our advantage.
You are right, no one knows the right time to invest, we can do it if we have the right preparation and also make the right decisions when investing.

[Kasabus]

There is no use regretting if you also benefit from your decision. Just accept the reality that if you don't sell, you will never have your own laptop. So selling early is probably the best decision, otherwise you will have a hard time borrowing from other people so you can finish your work. Focus on your tasks, not on regretting because it won't help you anyway.

There's always next time for bitcoin investment. Do not regret that you fail to gain bigger amount of profits. Some investors end up losing, lucky are you because you still end up selling for profits.

[traderethereum]

Someone who invests in bitcoin has probably been in a situation like yours. They sell their bitcoins because they have urgent matters that require money, while they don't have money and are forced to sell their bitcoins.
I am often in a situation like that where I have to sell my bitcoins in order to meet that urgent need.
That's okay because we really need it, so we have to sell bitcoins. We can buy bitcoin again and hold it for the long term, especially in a situation like now where the price of bitcoin has not yet reached its highest price.
The important thing is that we remain confident that we can invest in bitcoin again as before and benefit from bitcoin again.

[Solosanz]

Even you still have your coins until now, you might make a mistake by selling it too early or you get controlled by your greed and start to become a day trader where it's really risky. If you invest in Bitcoin, make sure you're only use money that you can afford to lose and you able to not touch it for 2+ years.

If you still struggle in financial, it's better for you to get a better job first.

[khiholangkang]

We have to make him realize that the most important investment is investment from the neck up (brain), and the fact from the story he brought honestly the actions he took were correct, because it was used for education, secondly for accessibility needs in his learning using a laptop.

In my thinking when he has a laptop he is much more free to get broader learning about bitcoin, follow many altcoin projects to get rewards, and from that we can collect to buy bitcoin, and if indeed the education he does gets a good job and provides a much better income in supporting his life, I think that's the real advantage when he invests in bitcoin then gets a profit, then he sells bitcoin for his learning needs.

I think there is no need to regret the sale of bitcoin that he has sold if it is used for his own development.

There's no need to feel regret if you need to use the funds to provide for your needs, you cannot literally control fate as there would always be a time that you would have to
emergency cash out which I think is pretty normal. Remember that you could always enter the market, it might be hard to reinvest as Bitcoin's value is starting to rise but you can start again after dealing with your problems with the help of Bitcoin. Just imagine that your holdings turn into your laptop, which is actually pricey in some countries like mine, plus the fact that it is helping you in your studies as well as in your online job in freelancing.

[moneystery]

.. I had an opportunity to study in university after completing my college life and there I really needed a laptop but didn't have enough money to buy it, family financial problems were also a lot. Having no choice, I sold my invested bitcoins to buy a laptop for my work needs, and I decided to study there as well as freelancing ..

what you did was right, don't regret too much what you have done, especially if you sold your bitcoin to buy a laptop which you will later use for your various needs and to earn money, this is the right thing to do.

there's no need to think too much about the potential profit that you don't get because the average person on this forum has been like you, missing the opportunity to make a profit. the most important thing now is that you can get a profit which is already very good and you have experience which you can use to build your bitcoin investment portfolio in the future.

Not everything in life is measured by profit alone. It seems to me that you have a syndrome of lost profits from which you urgently need to get rid of. Don't worry. You will still have opportunities to purchase bitcoin. Just continue to use the purchased tool as originally intended.

You did everything right by buying a laptop. In essence, this is a kind of investment in a working tool (as well as in knowledge and skills), which will allow you not only to earn money from freelancing, but also to gain new knowledge and learn new specialties. Your future will directly depend on this.

It's a little funny that the person was able to invest even a scholarship into the bitcoin, which suggests that other people's complaints about not being able to buy the bitcoin is a pathetic excuse. If you really want to, real bitcoiner will find a way to invest in a bitcoin, even a scholarship, or money saved on school lunches. And they will still make profit from it. Isn't this amazing?

It was nice to hear this story (if this is a true story) that the bitcoin benefited his investor and he didn't waste the profits on all sorts of unnecessary rubbish.

Life is about living, and we should try to find a balance between enjoying the present and preparing for the future. Prioritizing what we need. I think your decision was right when you sold BTC for your own needs. Remember the value your Bitcoin holdings have already brought to your life, whether it's in the form of a laptop, support for your studies, or income from freelancing. People come back to where success comes from, you should definitely consider reinvesting in Bitcoin in the future.

Bitcoin is the best place to store our money for the long term, on the other hand, we must be aware of the secondary needs that we need, which are always ongoing. and bitcoin is one of the places for our fields or other altcoin investments. Many things that happen in the crypto world have a beauty. Support from the digital crypto world continues to flow. This response is getting better in the future

[Ever-young]

Thinking about the profit you could have made if you have hold the bitcoin a little long should also bring you to the same thinking what could have been the fate of your education if you have not sold out your holdings to use and settle your school needs.

What you use your money to do is something that was really very important, and if you did not do it that time their could have been some negative impact in your academic, and then again since you sold out your bitcoin till now aside eduction if you where also making some other side job hustle you could have been able to earn some money which you can use and replace your bitcoin holdings if not all at least you can buy little pieces of it and still be a holder.

[salad daging]

Isn't it better to sell bitcoin for other purposes that make your college assignments easier with a laptop? With bitcoin you can buy it while completing college assignments, it is much more important to complete your education with a laptop that is your daily companion, so you can increase creativity in skills to be able to find other sources of income with this you can invest again without having to set aside money for college.

And you don't need to regret if you still hold a few bitcoins in your wallet, it's more resistant, while you should be able to save so that the needs with the money that you have are enough so as not to disturb your investment, maybe now the price of bitcoin is not too low but one day you will feel a bigger profit.

So keep what is there, and look for other sources of income so that you can meet the needs in your investment can be increased.

[umbara ardian]

Your decision to sell your bitcoins to purchase a laptop for your work and education needs was a practical one. Investing in yourself and your future through education and the tools necessary for your work is a valuable decision that will likely yield long-term benefits.

While it's understandable to feel a sense of missed opportunity given the recent surge in bitcoin's price, it's important to remember that you made the best decision you could with the information and resources you had at the time.

Selling your bitcoins allowed you to address immediate needs and invest in your personal and professional growth. This investment in yourself could lead to increased earning potential and opportunities in the future, which could ultimately help you accumulate more bitcoin in the long run.

Instead of dwelling on missed opportunities, focus on the positive aspects of your decision. You have invested in yourself, acquired essential tools for your work, and are pursuing further education. These investments will undoubtedly contribute to your personal and professional success in the long run.

Although I am a new user I haven't spent much time here on this forum. But I already had some knowledge about Bitcoin since mid 2022. At that time I was in college and knew about Bitcoin since that time I saved my college stipend money and invested it in Bitcoin and gradually saved fractions of good Bitcoins there. When I collected and invested my stipend, Bitcoin was at a much lower value, and I made a lot of profit at this point. I might have made more profit if I had held it longer, but I bought the thing by selling bitcoins for one of my essential tasks. I had an opportunity to study in university after completing my college life and there I really needed a laptop but didn't have enough money to buy it, family financial problems were also a lot. Having no choice, I sold my invested bitcoins to buy a laptop for my work needs, and I decided to study there as well as freelancing. However, the current bullishness of Bitcoin that I see in the market seems to indicate that Bitcoin will rise even more very soon.  If I had held on to my bitcoins I might have made more profit when the bull market started. But I have no way to do this because I don't have money, but I will try to raise money and invest again in bitcoins to hold on. However, I have benefited from selling my bitcoins currently and using them for my needs, but I feel like I missed out on a huge profit.

What you did was right, and you don't need to regret it because you sold BTC for work needs too. Because laptops are also part of investment tools, with a laptop it is easier for you to invest in analyzing charts and so on.

Now you have realized and experienced success from BTC because you have succeeded in buying a laptop from BTC profits. What you need to do now is buy more BTC even though you don't have a lot of money anymore, but you can pay in installments using DCA every time you have money, that way you still have the opportunity to get bigger profits from BTC when the bull market starts, there's no saying too late to buy btc.

[Dunamisx]

I will also advised that you should never regret taking the decision you made, because you can always have more opportunities to make Investment and earn as well from it, the mistake most other people did was that they use the money meant for other things which they couldn't afford holding on bitcoin for long to Invest and when it's due time, they regret making an investment because they might be probably selling at lost, but you make use of your money to buy what you needed first in other or priority.

It is correct that you will try to collect Bitcoin again to invest after your needs have been met by selling Bitcoin.
You may not be able to complete important college assignments which could result in failure if you don't do them because you don't have the tools to do it.
There is no need to feel excessive because you have sold Bitcoin when you want to hold Bitcoin longer.

If I am faced with the choice of choosing one of the important tasks but I don't have the equipment to do it because I don't have the money while the other option is to sell Bitcoin by force, then I will choose to sell Bitcoin to be able to get a laptop for the important task even though it feels heavy.

[Vaculin]

Long term hodling with bitcoin always gives the most satisfying results with bitcoin, and you could have gained more if you have done that. But we all know that you also have done good with your small profits, and that is something valuable you have right now. So I don't think regretting should be what you feel, but being grateful indeed.

Now, if you think you miss bigger profits due to early selling, don't worry because there's always another opportunity to invest. Just stay patient and calm. You need to have that so you can be successful with long term hodling. For now, increase your source of profits so you can achieve your desired capital for investment, maybe not now but it will happen soon.

[Japinat]

Why are you regretting it? You said it yourself, you sold the BTC for a laptop — for your "essential tasks". What was your alternative? Fail your classes just so you can have more bitcoin?

Don't put too much importance on gains. Because knowledge(depending on what course you're taking and why you're taking it in the first place, I guess) can go a long long way.

Bitcoin investing has certainly it's best time to maximize your investment, and right now I can see that you should attend to your educational needs first before you consider long term hodling with bitcoin in order to gain higher profits. Do not be lured with bigger amount of profits, you will have all the chances to experience that later on when you have succeeded on your education.

However, that will only happen if you land a decent job in the future. When that happens, you will gain a lot of opportunities to invest, and it's up to you to set your limits as long as you can still afford your capital losses in the future.

...

based on your story, I conclude that you use bitcoin as a hedge for your money, you use bitcoin for short-term profits (because you don't have a job that gives you a stable income), but whatever you do with the bitcoin you have is your right, one thing that is actually quite important is that you have to invest in bitcoin with a good plan like you have to have a stable income first. without a good stable income, it will be difficult for you to use the DCA method in your investment in bitcoin, you will definitely continue to sell the bitcoin you have because you feel you need the money.

[The Cryptovator]

You invested your savings in Bitcoin and got good profits. It's something you invested in for your needs. Holding bitcoin doesn't mean you have to hold it for a lifetime and never sell it. Bitcoin filled your needs the way it should. Now you can start investing again when you can. The bitcoin journey hasn't ended, but you may still accumulate on dips, according to you. I never regretted selling my Bitcoin. I used my bitcoin for my needs. And when I had a chance to accumulate, I did it.

[Sanitough]

Bitcoin investment is not the key to success, but to be successful you need to focus on your life's goals and priorities because that will determine your future, if it's going to be successful or not. Although bitcoin investment is capable to give life changing profits, but your life should not rely on it because that remains an investment where there are full of risks and its future outcome may left uncertain.

Finish your studies first because that will lead you to a more certain and brighter future. Do not be too obsess with bitcoin profits, your greed will only lead you into unexpected losses.

Actually there is nothing to regret about your decision to sell your Bitcoin. Because it is also to meet your needs, not because of panic or other negative reasons. At least by then, you will have earned good profits so you can buy things that can support your learning. So there is no need to regret it, in fact you will be grateful because Bitcoin has helped you. And it's true, if you have another chance, there is still another chance for you to get another Bitcoin and hold it at least until the next truly bullish era.

[Hypnosis00]

I will tell you OP that there is no wrong with what you did, sometimes we need to sacrifice other things for a very important thing. You have to know that selling Bitcoin is not a regrettable moment in our life unless if we just spend the money for nothing. We don't have to regret because we still have the chance to start again. We have not focused on the price and stopped thinking " if I never sold my Bitcoin before I become rich now" because this will lead to some frustrations but instead, make a plan on how to start again.
Remember that before we achieve success, we also experience failures and mistakes.

[Bitcoin_people]

OP, as a new user you are welcome to this forum, since you have acquired knowledge of Bitcoin for a long time I think it is best for you. Now that you have made a good return on the investment and purchased a laptop for your work needs it is really attractive. I would like to say that you have done it right because people only invest in Bitcoin to fulfill their needs. Since you are interested in learning freelancing work by purchasing a laptop and it is what you need and you can definitely earn more money if you can learn it. There is no point in investing if you can't do the work with the money you invest in it and I think your investment is worth it. But I think the initiative you have taken is really good and if you can earn well in future then definitely invest in Bitcoin because Bitcoin is one of the most profitable currency.

[bayu7adi]

But I think the initiative you have taken is really good and if you can earn well in future then definitely invest in Bitcoin because Bitcoin is one of the most profitable currency.

When talking about digital currencies that I know, I agree that Bitcoin is a profitable option for longterm, but it can't be said BTC is the only one. There are still many opportunities with other currencies, even from altcoins that we might underestimate. BTC has more significant potential because some significant news is waiting ahead and this is the father of cryptocurrency, so the price increase could be utilized by everyone as the easiest way to make money.

Even if you are very confident and acknowledge that Bitcoin is indeed a convincing currency, one rule you should never break is never to go all in on BTC at the moment. Yes, not to undermine BTC, but we must still use our mathematical skills to invest wisely. There are still many other opportunities that can be maximized, while BTC is an alternative that should not be overlooked.

Best practice from me to everyone is do diversify. Yes, it's essential to ensure that our investments are not solely focused on one basket. This is for the sake of financial security.

Well said, bitcoin can bring us high profits, but that doesn't mean it is the key to success. After all, bitcoin is still a risky investment, it can bring high profits but can also cause us losses at any time. The key to success is ourselves, if we try every day, improve our knowledge and constantly try. One day success will come to us. Don't depend or just rely on bitcoin investment, and do nothing and expect bitcoin to bring huge profits and wealth to us. That's just the thinking of a lazy person.

OP needs to pay attention to his studies rather than focusing too much on bitcoin, studying is his future.

[naira]

That's why investing requires the use of cold money that is not needed in the immediate and urgent future. here you have made a profit but ironically perhaps the Bitcoin being sold now has a greater value than the laptop you bought. I have the same story I have a younger brother and want to buy an iPhone by selling Bitcoin ownership from the start I have said that the price of an iPhone bought with Bitcoin will have a much different price in the coming years.  Do you understand what I mean? The longer a certain type of iPhone lasts the cheaper the price (fact)while Bitcoin facing the Halving year will certainly have bigger profits in sight you just need a little patience.

Now what's the result? I still hold Bitcoin and my little brother holds an iPhone. We bet to prove the price of the iPhone next year by the amount of Bitcoin he sold, if I'm not mistaken he was holding $1000 (±0.022)in btc at that time.

[Bananington]

At least the laptop you got serves the purpose for which it was bought, and that's to help put you in an advantageous position where your chances of earning is doubled. There's no need to cry after having spent whatever amount of BTC on acquiring some piece of property or tool that puts one in a good spot.

Try the DCA strategy of investment by buying some Satoshi at least once every quarter of the year.

A renewed vigour is what OP needs, and the notion that BTC investment is the key to success is skewed to some degree, because you clearly prefer your studies and one truth is that success in your academic work can instantly guarantee success in a chosen career, and means more money. This of which is the future you are headed in.

Do you recommend continuing to buy Bitcoin now? And up to what price should the OP continue to buy? You understand that in order to get a good profit, the purchase price must be significantly lower than what you will sell, and if the OP buys every quarter, then he can buy at 40k and 50k and so on, what will his average price be then, and how much he can earn, I assume that this will ultimately lead to the fact that his profit will not be very attractive.

[Y3shot]

 If I had held on to my bitcoins I might have made more profit when the bull market started. But I have no way to do this because I don't have money, but I will try to raise money and invest again in bitcoins to hold on. However, I have benefited from selling my bitcoins currently and using them for my needs, but I feel like I missed out on a huge profit.

If you have money to invest it still not late for you to invest in bitcoin, you can still make profit from Bitcoin. Don't force yourself on Bitcoin investment if you don't have money, try to work yourself to be be financially okay, then it will be easy for you to invest in bitcoin but when you have things to do with money it is very difficult for you to take your minds and your eyes off your investment. What you really need to focus on is to have better source of income that will enable you to focus on your investment.

[kentrolla]

There is no hard and fast rule that you must invest the money into Bitcoin even when you don't have money for basic necessities or survival, I would always prefer to invest the money which I have saved additionally which has been accumulated by saving on unnecessary expenses. Whenever you cashout you will feel that you should have hodled it but longer as price continues to increase but luckily we have accumulation period in the name of bear market. Even if you have to cashout you can buy more during these period.

[KiaKia]

Bitcoin investment is not a do or die, when something else is important for your life you need to sell your Bitcoin, I sold mine too when my brother was sick and needed some medical operation, I helped my parents out and to God be the glory he was saved, today I still get some Bitcoin that I am holding for long term, do not look hope yet.

Find other means to make money and buy some Bitcoin even if it's just a little, you can still make good money out of the little Bitcoin you have in your wallet, we still have some months left before the halving and the price of Bitcoin won't shoot up into the sky even after the halving is completed.

Also it's likely that a last black swan event will take place in earlier 2024, just prepare yourself and also make sure that the reason you bought the laptop is what's going to help you, work on that too as it will help you in future, even if you miss the next bull market do not forget that a new bear market will come.

[armanda90]

Most important if want to be success with bitcoin investment is have much money or capital use for investing, regarding you sold Bitcoin to buy new laptop I don't sure what the next way to be success with bitcoin investment. I know Bitcoin when price under $10,000 last several years with many kinds of free side we can earn much altcoin and use it for investing in bitcoin, but today less of side to earn much money trough online and use as fund for investing in bitcoin. I think not good ideas when selling bitcoin and buy laptop exactly with highest specific exactly you can but middle specific of laptop for spending half your money keep investing in bitcoin.

Today after selling your bitcoin investment you only get one laptop, I sure one or two years later with your investment fund of bitcoin ability to buy more than two until three laptop regarding bitcoin potential will raise to higher price.

[bettercrypto]

It's not that I'm against Bitcoin; when you say that Bitcoin is the key to success in life, it's not right for me. It can be one of the instruments for us to succeed in life, and here I will agree. But if it seems general, I don't agree.

Because honestly, in 2017, I got better income in altcoins than in crypto through ICO project campaigns, not in Bitcoin these days. But I'm not saying we can't succeed with Bitcoin. What is my point, then? My point is that there are many tools with which we can succeed in this industry; whether it is Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, it just depends on the research we do.

[Outhue]

Sounds like this fella is regretting for selling his bitcoin for a laptop, you know what op? It's actually bad not to recognise your own level of achievement, it's like your are not appreciative, buying that laptop is for your own good, you have a goal of becoming a freelancer and other, you did very well and you don't know it, what a shame.

Bitcoin is not going anywhere, someone somewhere is just starting his or her Bitcoin journey today and they start acculating already, so there is still time for you, learn what you want to learn first and start making some money, you will even find it easier to DCA into Bitcoin.

Having a source of income can be very helpful when you want to start investing in Bitcoin, you are far better than those that have no job, they will will on panic if Bitcoin dumps because they don't have anymore money to DCA but you having a source of income won't worry you much when price dump, instead you will focus on more accumulation every week.

Step by step OP, step by step.

[syedakhlaque]

Bitcoin is the key to success. Your experience in this matter was successful and you solved the small and big problems of life with the money you earned from Bitcoin. This is welcome. This is actually based on the fact that most people have had a very good experience with Bitcoin. And he made a good fortune.
As far as I am concerned . My altcoin is a descendant of Bitcoin. In this coin I worked more and my business was also good. And the money earned from this coin solved many problems of my livelihood and I am satisfied with my work.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

First, I think I will tell you to be glad that you actually made enough profit to be able to solve your financial needs. If you had not invested in Bitcoin earlier on, it means you probably might have been stranded when you needed the money to buy a laptop for your academic work. You don't have to blame yourself; you just have to get done with your academics, get a job, and from your salary, you can still accumulate some bitcoin, even more than you invested the first time.

Sincerely, @OP, Bitcoin might be a key to enabling one to increase their financial status, but Bitcoin is not the only key to success, as you have said in your title. Bitcoin investment is simple, but some who misunderstand it have also not made any success from it. For example, if you have invested like $5000 in Bitcoin when the price was $60k and the price ends up dropping to $30k, and at that point in time, you actually needed the money to settle some financial needs, if your Bitcoin investment is your only option at that moment, you will just end up selling at a loss, which will end up being an unsuccessful investment for you.

[Distinctin]

There's no left for regretting as you did not sell without its purpose, and  since you decide to sell your bitcoin early, then you have now your own laptop without any hussle. Still, that is a big blessing that you have obtained from bitcoin, enough to be thankful for it instead of feeling depressed because you fail to maximize your profits. Bitcoin investment is not all the time for long term, most especially if you face sudden emergency cases that only selling bitcoin would make the best solution.

You see, there's actually nothing to regret. But work on your funds first so you can invest before the bitcoin halving. That way, you can still ride the bullish season where everyone else celebrates with their huge profits.

[wiss19]

It should be, "Bitcoin investment at the right time is the key to success." because at what price and at what time in the cycle you buy makes a huge difference. People who bought Bitcoin at $69k cannot say the same because they've bought at the wrong time, maybe not completely wrong because they will eventually get in profit if they are patient enough, but because of the wrong timing, they had to wait for years for the market to complete another cycle and then get back. So, timing matters as well.

Anyway, you shouldn't feel bad at all after what you achieved with your investments. Your small investments grown enough to make you capable enough of buying yourself a laptop should be enough for you as it was your first investment and you already achieved something with it where most people barely get anything out of their very first time investing in something.

Timing affects outcomes, but in Bitcoin's chaotic world, the "perfect time" is unclear. The concept that there's a perfect investment time ignores market volatility. Bitcoin prices fluctuate, making the "correct time" retrospectively evident but potentially uncertain. Every investor starts with different goals and thresholds. Some value short-term swings, others long-term gain. Your ability to turn a tiny investment into a concrete asset shows this versatility. Instead of finding the "perfect time", you succeeded by sticking to your investment approach. Dont forget, Bitcoin's value goes beyond price. Decentralized empowerment is demonstrated by this technological and financial breakthrough. Limiting attention to timing and profit ignores this. For its values as well as its prospects, we invest in Bitcoin.

Not just you, but so many people made a lot of money during the ico craze, but where are those projects today, they have all failed and they scammed so many people before they failed, i don't agree with the op that BTC is the 'key' to success, but as for better profits that you are talking about, it is worth mentioning that altcoin projects are similar to gambling. You nay have made money from ico's, but too many other people got scammed. That is the difference and why you can't really compare it with BTC that has visible usefulness in the society.

Nothing can be considered as the key to success in life. Every life is different, hence the keys will be different too. Moreover, bitcoin right now and bitcoin in 2017 or 2012 are not the same at all. We are heading to more strict and controlled situation, when governments tightens the possibilities of using crypto. That is why investments in bitcoin may not be as huge-profitable as it has been before.

Bitcoin is just a financial instrument like many others, and our success depends entirely on us. We cannot say that only investing in bitcoin can help us succeed , but other fields cannot. And not everyone who invests in bitcoin is rich and successful, many people lose heavily . Therefore, it cannot be said that bitcoin is the key to success, it depends on us.
Bitcoin gives us an opportunity and whether we know how to take advantage of it to turn our dreams into reality depends entirely on each person's efforts .

if laptop is need to very urgent so don't hesitate to buy it because now bitcoin price is enough high and it's not guaranteed to it will rocket high, and you can not wait for you expected price, so you should buy a laptop and start make money, it's a good investment to increase your income so anything to regret here.

[Gaza13]

You don't need to regret selling your bitcoin, your knowledge in mid-2022, your choice is right in investing in this asset. You have made a profit from Bitcoin, you have received an item (laptop) from Bitcoin profit. In essence, if there is something urgent or sudden for your education or other reasons, you are not wrong in taking the step of selling the asset.

There are still many ways to multiply our money, it doesn't have to be investing in Bitcoin with prices that are already quite high, there are still many good altcoin projects and the prices are still quite affordable. There's nothing wrong with investing in altcoins, of course if bitcoin soars high the altcoins automatically do too.

Circumstances will always be a factor in any investment. Not all people could just hold to their assets until satisfactory; there are investors who were forced to act upon the situation such as emergencies and necessary events. Bitcoin is really a profitable investment which would definitely leave you nothing but regrets from selling too early. However, if doing so would aid your problem then I cannot see something wrong from it. The market price will not increase and break the ceiling in an instant which makes sense to say that opportunity to invest will always be there. You may also engage with other tokens as others have said as an alternative.

If the goal is just to invest in Bitcoin, I think this can also be done via a smartphone or tablet device that we already own without having to spend more money to buy a more expensive laptop or PC for that. Someone can easily invest via their smartphone and use the money for purchasing the laptop into their own investment capital so that they can invest much larger capital than just spending it on buying a new device to invest in Bitcoin.

Because this is not a difficult thing for everyone who wants to invest to do, so there is no need to apply the wrong understanding that investing in Bitcoin requires a laptop if someone wants to do it. Just do it with the existing device as long as the device is sufficient for investing and accessing any exchanges and wallets that we need.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Having no choice, I sold my invested bitcoins to buy a laptop for my work needs, and I decided to study there as well as freelancing. However, the current bullishness of Bitcoin that I see in the market seems to indicate that Bitcoin will rise even more very soon.  If I had held on to my bitcoins I might have made more profit when the bull market started. But I have no way to do this because I don't have money.

Buying that your laptop was indeed the best decision you made my friend, because inasmuch that Bitcoin is a worthy investment, when it comes to scaling our needs in order of most importance, for me, I think that laptop you bought was indeed the most important at the moment, because the Bitcoin market will always be bullish, and as such no need for regret doing the basic things you needed at the moment, because if you never bought that laptop, how would you have been able to keep studying only and doing the freelancing work you just began? So on that note, I think there is no need to regret, but to just continue accumulating as much as you can. The Bitcoin market will always be bullish as it's due time.

[MFahad]

You sold your bitcoin earlier its a mistake but you sold it because you need money for buying laptop and also you get profit from your bitcoin is a good point towards achievement. There are large number of individuals who get little benefit from their bitcoin investment and sell in the past, the fact behind it is that no one was understandable that a day will come when bitcoin will make them Billionair.

Now you should work hard to increase your saving and when accurate time arrives then buy some bitcoin again but now the price is much higher therefore wait a little bit so you can get a chance of investment again.

Any device that can be used to access an exchange and can store your coins can be used to buy bitcoin, however if you are using your main device to store your coins many things could happen that could make you lose your coins, so if you do not have a spare device that you can use to store your coins and use it exclusively for this purpose while keeping it offline most of the time, then it may be a good idea to get a hardware wallet as they are relatively cheap compared to a laptop or a smartphone.

[Russlenat]

Bitcoin investment can also be one of those factors to be successful in life, but that will only happen if you invest with knowledge and skills, and you are only investing using your extra money, not actually all your hard-earned money.

However, seeing you regretting OP is not reasonable based on what I've understand your situation. There are life's decisions that are sometimes hard to control, especially if you are in the state of financial struggles because you aim something that your finances can't afford, but if selling bitcoin is the best option, I guess that would still be a positive idea, not a negative one. Sell when it's needed, because that's the main reason why you invest in the first place. Just invest again when you are capable enough, after all bitcoin investment will always seems profitable and growing throughout the time.

[Ale88]

Although I am a new user I haven't spent much time here on this forum. But I already had some knowledge about Bitcoin since mid 2022. At that time I was in college and knew about Bitcoin since that time I saved my college stipend money and invested it in Bitcoin and gradually saved fractions of good Bitcoins there. When I collected and invested my stipend, Bitcoin was at a much lower value, and I made a lot of profit at this point. I might have made more profit if I had held it longer, but I bought the thing by selling bitcoins for one of my essential tasks. I had an opportunity to study in university after completing my college life and there I really needed a laptop but didn't have enough money to buy it, family financial problems were also a lot. Having no choice, I sold my invested bitcoins to buy a laptop for my work needs, and I decided to study there as well as freelancing. However, the current bullishness of Bitcoin that I see in the market seems to indicate that Bitcoin will rise even more very soon.  If I had held on to my bitcoins I might have made more profit when the bull market started. But I have no way to do this because I don't have money, but I will try to raise money and invest again in bitcoins to hold on. However, I have benefited from selling my bitcoins currently and using them for my needs, but I feel like I missed out on a huge profit.

I understand your regret but you actually needed to buy that laptop, you said yourself that you really needed a laptop but you couldn't afford. You spent your bitcoins for something actually useful, think that there are people who sell their investments in order to spend the money for restaurants or clothes, those, in my opinion, are stupid choices, yours is not, don't beat yourself up.

[TelolettOm]

Investing in Bitcoin is indeed interesting and can be one way to achieve success. but of course nothing happens easily. Bitcoin is a risky thing. Sometimes we are also tempted to take profits and panic because prices suddenly soar and suddenly drop. Bitcoin volatility is indeed one of the challenges that we have to be smart about and manage so that we don't panic. In OP's case, there's actually no harm in taking profits first because they are used for something useful and not for panic selling. So, just keep on being enthusiastic about getting more Bitcoin accumulation and holding more.

[Minecache]

But when investing in bitcoin, you will be very curious and always look for other ways to make more money, and just using your phone to invest is very inconvenient. In my opinion, once we invest in bitcoin or any other financial market, laptops are indispensable. It helps you work and operate things more easily and comfortably when using your phone.

Besides, owning a laptop helps us store many things better than a smartphone or tablet, there are many benefits to owning a Laptop for work, especially in the field of financial investment.

[kotajikikox]

There is no hard and fast rule that you must invest the money into Bitcoin even when you don't have money for basic necessities or survival, I would always prefer to invest the money which I have saved additionally which has been accumulated by saving on unnecessary expenses. Whenever you cashout you will feel that you should have hodled it but longer as price continues to increase but luckily we have accumulation period in the name of bear market. Even if you have to cashout you can buy more during these period.

but he had already cashed out all of His funds which makes Him no holding at all and that would be a hard for Him  to accumulate again 

_______________________________________________________________

to OP :


" whats this post all about? telling your sentiments about selling your bitcoin for laptop but you also mentioned that it helps you a lot so please let no regret covers you.

But you have said best for everyone here to never follow your steps because they will regret it as how you do now.

Invest in Bitcoin and have success , that is how bitcoin was designed and this is how Bitcoin made many of us a profiting for years now."

[Solokan]

Personal investment is mostly for material goals, and when you have met life's difficulties through investment, it is a success. So there's nothing to hesitate about, because you yourself understand that the journey has just begun, and the opportunities for bitcoin are never ending.

I remember in the past I once sold 1BTC/$300 just to spend on living expenses, and to this day I am always grateful to bitcoin for the opportunity it brings not only in terms of profit but all jobs in this field. In the age of information technology, when many people still do not have the opportunity to access the Internet, for those of us who know bitcoin and have investment opportunities and even jobs, it is always a great luck.

It is true that in the human mind there is always greed and the desire to gain large profits, but this is normal as long as it does not harm other people. Indeed, in this case the OP should be grateful for the actions he took, namely by selling BTC, he could buy things such as laptops and other things for his needs. but in this case op has done a good thing because op has dared to invest in btc and made a profit, and indeed the essence of investing in btc is to make a profit of course it's up to us to sell it whatever the price. . and indeed the need factor is always an obstacle to long-term investment intentions and in my opinion if OP sells BTC today then OP will make a bigger profit because today's BTC price has touched more than $40k and OP's prediction is right. But of course OP has done something positive and wise. and I see that OP's knowledge about BTC is also good and in this case OP certainly doesn't need to regret his actions.

[GeorgeJohn]

What I will advice you as a beginner is that you should not invest in cryptocurrency especially bitcoin because someone invested in bitcoin and make a profit, but invest in bitcoin because you have passion in bitcoin,  and it's obvious that if you have passion in bitcoin their is every tendency that you devote out time to ensure you have make a research about bitcoin and know the risk measure of bitcoin and precisely the advantages and the disadvantages of bitcoin, so therefore we have to understand the major things concerning bitcoin and underline them to avoid loss and blame.

I think it's okay to follow other people's interest in bitcoin investment - it's because of the profit. Someone won't be interested in something that doesn't make a profit  and as long as bitcoin allows whoever the investor is to make a return, then bitcoin can always be an option even if he doesn't have much passion for it yet.

My interest in bitcoin grew because of other people – of course because they could make a profit from bitcoin. I learned how it works and what the benefits are - so investing is not just buying and keeping it in your wallet and selling when the profit target is reached.

[red4slash]

If in the end you prefer to be more important and have made a profit from the bitcoin you bought before I don't think thats a bad thing because in the end even though bitcoin is one of the very good assets today but if you really need something important and have to sell the profits you receive I don't think that's a problem because bitcoin is like secondary and your urgent personal needs are primary so when bitcoin is the only way you have and there is no way but to sell to complete the needs you have then why regret it as long as it is profitable.

As for when saying bitcoin is the key to success I feel this is half true because don't forget not everyone who is in bitcoin can be successful because it depends on the plans and strategies they live if in the end the strategy in bitcoin is wrong then it cannot benefit you even though everyone can be in bitcoin but not everyone can be successful in bitcoin.

[JoyMarsha]

However, I have benefited from selling my bitcoins currently and using them for my needs, but I feel like I missed out on a huge profit.

Yeah, you missed out a huge profits but would you have preferred to leave your present needs because of your future investment in bitcoin, whereby the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin would always arise again but your present needs at that moment do come up once in a while and they always need to attain to at that pressing time.

Selling your bitcoin for your needs is not what to regret. Take it that bitcoin saves you in solving your important needs when they arise. What would you have done, if you hadn't invested in bitcoin? Think about that and give me an answer

[Xampeuu]

it was the same with me when I wanted to get married, at that time I had bitcoin whose price had not yet increased, because I was pressed for need, I sold it for my wedding needs, a few months after getting married the price actually soared, and indeed I had time to wonder, if I had sold it when it had gone up, Of course I am rich, but I can only accept it, considering that I have been given the good fortune of having a new family and of course I made a profit when I sold it. so I think there's nothing too regrettable

[AirtelBuzz]

OP Don't regret because you didn't lose your Bitcoin just use it for what you need.
You may have bought Bitcoin at the right time for which you got the right profit. I haven't bought bitcoins yet or I haven't had the chance to buy one for which I'm still waiting to buy bitcoins.
When I get the chance or when I have the money to buy bitcoins I will buy bitcoins and present them to you and discuss them with you.
I have seen many people on this forum say that investing in Bitcoin is life changing.I also want to invest with that hope but for the long term.
People say that investing in bitcoins is life changing seems to be true because the price of bitcoin I saw last two to three months was 25 to 30 thousand dollars.If someone had bought 1,000 dollars of bitcoin then, today it would have been 1,700 to 1,600 dollars because the price of bitcoin has already crossed 40,000 dollars.Maybe this is how people's lives are or have been changed by Bitcoin.

[bitterguy28]

you have done a great job for you and your family as that laptop might bring you more and more in the future , this maybe regretting as of now like how much bitcoin is increasing but eventually you will get the point of how and why you done that .

though many could have bashed you for not holding those bitcoin till the bullrun happens next year, but if that is what you needed for the time then why regret that?

many people have different decision in life but if that decision can be bringing more financial stability for you then you better have that than regretting .

Indeed, that is a reality when the need arises. Well, this position like yours happens quite a lot if you pay attention. It's a shame to let go and hold it. Yes. You are right, BTC is very valuable for those who understand its potential. If not, there will be many reasons why people don't want to buy it with various rhetoric.

[Assface16678]

However, the current bullishness of Bitcoin that I see in the market seems to indicate that Bitcoin will rise even more very soon.  If I had held on to my bitcoins I might have made more profit when the bull market started.

So on that note, I think there is no need to regret, but to just continue accumulating as much as you can. The Bitcoin market will always be bullish as it's due time.

I agree, very well said, many people here in this topic is saying that what OP did is not a good idea or not good, yes we are there, he missed a lot of opportunity as he sell his stored bitcoin in such a price, but he didn't just sell his bitcoin for nothing, he sell it for him to buy his "essential" thing and that essential thing is very important as he said, he needed that laptop for his study and for free lancing meaning he is just think about his future and to earn more by freelancing which is a good thing, so although there is a regret because of selling the bitcoin a bit too early still he achieve one of his goal to continue studying and to earn by doing work, so you over there who blaming him or adding more regretful statement about selling the bitcoin, we all have different needs, some are not fortunate enough just to wait and wait, at least bitcoin help him continue his study.

[Ben Barubal]

  I don't see anything wrong with what you did. If you are really interested in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, buying a laptop is part of the investment too. Now,  if you used bitcoin to buy a laptop, I don't see anything wrong with it either.

  Because you have knowledge of Bitcoin or crypto, it can also give you profit in the future, so just continue the research or study you have started here in the business field of the crypto industry.

[Mpamaegbu]

At whatever price level anyone sells off is their convenient level, whether in profit or in loss. As we chat now, there are many people who are selling off with the little spike Bitcoin has witnessed in the past few days. They think it will dip again and they want to play smart by taking profit now. I wouldn't say they're stupid selling because those of us here know that Bitcoin is trying to rally up. So, why sell this quick? Many would ask. Buying and selling is what keeps the value of Bitcoin or any other up. If no one sells, nothing happens. We all can't hodl forever. To say the truth, hodling doesn't bestow any value on Bitcoin until we set our prices to sell. It's the actions of those trading it that determine the value we see on our hedl Bitcoin.

OP, you shouldn't be regretting your action of selling; provided you achieved a purpose with it when you sold. You can find a convenient level to still get in back. The market is just commencing its rally. 2024 will be a bullish moment in this industry. That's the expectation from past historical data.

[lixer]

Nothing can be considered as the key to success in life. Every life is different, hence the keys will be different too. Moreover, bitcoin right now and bitcoin in 2017 or 2012 are not the same at all. We are heading to more strict and controlled situation, when governments tightens the possibilities of using crypto. That is why investments in bitcoin may not be as huge-profitable as it has been before.

Bitcoin is just a financial instrument like many others, and our success depends entirely on us. We cannot say that only investing in bitcoin can help us succeed , but other fields cannot. And not everyone who invests in bitcoin is rich and successful, many people lose heavily . Therefore, it cannot be said that bitcoin is the key to success, it depends on us.
Bitcoin gives us an opportunity and whether we know how to take advantage of it to turn our dreams into reality depends entirely on each person's efforts .

Unless someone is trading in the futures market, I don't see how one can lose heavily if they don't sell their assets out of panic when the price is lower than where they've bought which isn't the fault of Bitcoin but it's a lack of patience by those people. So, we can't say that Bitcoin can make someone lose money if people have paper hands and sell their assets when they hear bad news about the market or after seeing the market going down a little bit which is normal.

Other than that, you are right that it's not like Bitcoin is the only way one can get success, but it's just an option among the others. A person who has enough money can also invest in real estate and it is even a safer investment option than Bitcoin because the properties that you purchase will have actual existence and we all know that the prices of land keep increasing over time.

[Adams0001]

Exactly, I don't understand what is wrong with selling your bitcoin to buy a laptop because people invest in bitcoin to make money to solve their problems and needs, and you sold bitcoin to buy a laptop because he will help you and do many things on the internet and do more research about investment, so just find another fund to replace the money you touched from bitcoin to buy laptops and invest on it again, because I am confident you will continue to make money so never regret on bitcoin, Because investing in bitcoin at any time is the best option because the price can rise at any time, so invest in it now and leave it for the long term, because it is the finest investment for now that you will not have any problems with.

You obviously brought when the price was low and but you were limited with device and sold to buy bitcoin but I don't understand your motivation towards the laptop. You have a phone which can give you basic to buy and sell bitcoin, you don't need the laptop in the first place except if you aspiring to be a trader but your story line didn't say much about been a trader but an investor that buy and sell bitcoin or perhaps should I say scalper that buy and sell as bitcoin swung in chart.

The mistake you have done now is the same mistake that many people have done many times and are not happy about. If you plan to hold bitcoin, do so but make sure no external pressure allow you to sell your bitcoin whether you plan to hold for long term or for short term. Don't ever trade it for anything except when you have malnutrition in health, that's when you can sell otherwise never sell you bitcoin in other to achieve your initial goals.

When it comes to investment then it would be always falling down into someones preference and plans that they do have in mind. It would really differ into each other and not all would really be that the same when it comes to thinking. Bitcoin investment is really something worth even though we are really just that speaking when it comes to its potential but we shouldn't really forget about the risks involved because there's no
way that we could really be able to make assurance that it would really be turning out to be a successful investment. Also not all would really that able to make those active trades but rather they would really be that
focusing that much on holding for long term because they cant really just trade it up confidently and this is why they do end up with this kind of option.
Success is still questionable but if you are really just that taking up some risks on the amount on which you could really be able to risks then its your choice.

Using the income you get from Bitcoin to meet your needs, because what you buy is really needed for your needs, I think this is right and there is nothing wrong because buying a laptop will make it easier for you to complete your work.
Everyone can take advantage of the profits they have obtained from the investments they have made and they can also return to investing when they have funds that they can invest whenever they want.

[Manny@11111]

What you did was your best option as at that time based on your status and challenges then so dont second guess the decision. I'm sure laptop bought has satisfied or still satisfying the purpose to which it was gotten and Bitcoin still there to invest in, which means you have 2 opportunities to cash out from in the future.

[rojan]

The thing that I noticed that people who invest most of the time choose Bitcoin, the chance of profit is more if they invest in Bitcoin. But those who can invest with idea about investment can almost always profit. Because of some mistake of those who are new to invest.  Failed to make profit. Then they think it is very difficult to make profit from invest but I think it is very easy to make profit by investing in bitcoins after investing wait some time.

Using the income you get from Bitcoin to meet your needs, because what you buy is really needed for your needs, I think this is right and there is nothing wrong because buying a laptop will make it easier for you to complete your work.

I don't quite understand what you mean here.  But I want to say that Bitcoin investment brings success only to those who can invest in Bitcoin for long term.  You can see that Bitcoin has been well below its ATH for several years but the current market conditions will give you an idea of ​​how much potential Bitcoin has for the future.  Bitcoin price dropped to $15K but now it is back up to $44k which is almost 3x from $15k this happened but it didn't happen in a day it took a long time.  So if you also want to make good profit from Bitcoin, you must invest here with a long-term investment mindset. then you will success

Unless someone is trading in the futures market, I don't see how one can lose heavily if they don't sell their assets out of panic when the price is lower than where they've bought which isn't the fault of Bitcoin but it's a lack of patience by those people. So, we can't say that Bitcoin can make someone lose money if people have paper hands and sell their assets when they hear bad news about the market or after seeing the market going down a little bit which is normal.

People sell earlier than it should be done not only because of panic and paper hands. Not everyone can afford to hold no matter what and not pay attention to the time. Sometimes people just have to use their savings and bitcoin could be all savings they have. That is why they are forced to sell it when the necessity hits them, although they could be fully aware that such selling is a loss.

[Jenwi]

Perseverance is the key. Nothing good comes so easy. Like you said, you sold your bitcoin to buy a laptop and too, pressure was coming from family. But you would have been patient since you were making enough profit. From my statistical analysis. People have anchored much hope on bitcoin as it has created employment but with steadfastness.
The major challenge that would have pulled me from bitcoin was a tutor, a very good friend of mine that I was humbly begging to bring me onboard failed me trickishly rather was showing me his sucesses. In all, I did not loose hope.

While Bitcoin can be a total money-maker and help you achieve financial freedom, it's not like a magic key that unlocks success in all areas of your life. Success is about a lot more than just having a fat bank account, right?

If you want Bitcoin to be your key to success, it needs to be part of a bigger plan that matches your goals and values. That means having a solid financial plan, spreading your investments around different things, and making smart decisions based on research and analysis, not just gut feelings.

But remember, success isn't just about money. It's also about growing as a person, having meaningful relationships, and contributing to something bigger than yourself. While Bitcoin can help you achieve all of those things, it's just one piece of the puzzle.

Yea, this is a very good topic and I love it so much, especially when you said it is key to success really it's ok..i wish to let the public to know about this Incase if you doubt this topic or you have not understand how it because the key to success,...

Alot of people through Bitcoin investment or trading Bitcoin have become a multi millionaire and have been in a place where they have never dreamed of being in life,but through Bitcoin investment or trading Bitcoin have elevated and become the Rich over night, and I am always proud to say Bitcoin is the key to success. ...


While there is no guarantee of success, there are a few key factors that can help you be more successful when investing in Bitcoin.
- Investing with a long-term perspective: Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, so it's important to have a long-term view when investing. Don't invest money that you can't afford to lose, and be prepared for the possibility of price fluctuations.
- Diversifying your portfolio: As mentioned before, diversifying your portfolio is a good way to reduce risk and exposure to any one asset. You could invest in other cryptocurrencies, or in assets that are not directly correlated to the price..

Success comes if we work on it, not just dreaming about it. Indeed, we measure success not just through money but it was in all aspects of our lives but usually, people measure it when they have a lot of money (rich), and financial freedom. Investing in Bitcoin helps us generate profit but it doesn't mean that we must be fully reliant on it or have to think that this will be a perfect investment for us to gain financial freedom. More investment gives us a higher chance of achieving it, not just on Bitcoin alone.

I think most people believe the idea of thriving in business or investment is the only way to be successful because they never understand or view the idea of being alive in good health and achieving great things as success.
When we come to Bitcoin investment, it only presents opportunity but the key to success in it is to determine personal knowledge and decision-making.

Investing in Bitcoin helps us generate profit but it doesn't mean that we must be fully reliant on it or have to think that this will be a perfect investment for us to gain financial freedom. More investment gives us a higher chance of achieving it, not just on Bitcoin alone.

There's nothing bad in relying on Bitcoin as a perfect investment to gain financial freedom if one can take advantage presented by the market and have an understanding about taking a profit.

 I don't see anything wrong with what you did. If you are really interested in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, buying a laptop is part of the investment too. Now,  if you used bitcoin to buy a laptop, I don't see anything wrong with it either.

  Because you have knowledge of Bitcoin or crypto, it can also give you profit in the future, so just continue the research or study you have started here in the business field of the crypto industry.

Exactly, I don't understand what is wrong with selling your bitcoin to buy a laptop because people invest in bitcoin to make money to solve their problems and needs, and you sold bitcoin to buy a laptop because he will help you and do many things on the internet and do more research about investment, so just find another fund to replace the money you touched from bitcoin to buy laptops and invest on it again, because I am confident you will continue to make money so never regret on bitcoin, Because investing in bitcoin at any time is the best option because the price can rise at any time, so invest in it now and leave it for the long term, because it is the finest investment for now that you will not have any problems with.

I believe the odd feeling of always keeping your Bitcoin and not selling it forever is for those who are ardent about it, they are becoming an extremist to the level of depriving themselves and getting to hold and own it forever. But it should not be like that. It's already a privilege that you know Bitcoin as a means to invest, and just like any other asset, it's for investments so as to make more money, not something you should worship or keep forever. What if something else which is negative happens later in the future? You would have deprived yourself of the money you invested, the gains and what you should have done with some of the gains. This is why no one should always believe in any asset 100% and if the asset had already given you a tangible amount which you could use some of it for other personal needs, why not use it?

The reason for investment is for a better life and financial freedom, so why still deprive yourself if you have the money through the Bitcoin investment? And if the guy removed some of the profits, this still doesn't mean that he will not continue to invest more money in his Bitcoin as he later has. However, at that time, the pressing needs have to be tackled especially if the need is what is worth it, like buying a laptop and others as you mentioned. For me, buying a laptop is even better and worth it more because I use it for my work which earns me money, so why deprive myself and believe I can only earn money through Bitcoin? That's the way I see it.

Bitcoin is an investment, we should always treat it as such and not more, and we should keep on pumping it if there are excesses.

[Best-mary]

Why are you regretting it? You said it yourself, you sold the BTC for a laptop — for your "essential tasks". What was your alternative? Fail your classes just so you can have more bitcoin?

Don't put too much importance on gains. Because knowledge(depending on what course you're taking and why you're taking it in the first place, I guess) can go a long long way.

A friend. This is to tell you that I appreciate this you wrote here. Honestly, it seem like I and Op faced similar issue but this has given an assurance

[cozytrade]

I have heard about Bitcoin long ago but I never imagined that investing in Bitcoin can bring financial success. Seeing the change in everything about a friend of mine, I curiouse to know what his source of income. Suddenly one day while talking, I asked at one point what is the story of your change, friend. Then I got to know from him that Bitcoin investment has brought a lot of success in his life. With a portion of his savings invested in Bitcoin, he is pretty much self-sufficient today. Hearing about his investment in Bitcoin and seeing his success made me realize that Bitcoin investment is indeed the key to success. My friend's Bitcoin investment success made me very interested in investing in Bitcoin as well. As a new investor I want to recruit small amount at first.

Investing in Bitcoin is like planting a tree. You don't simply plant it and turn around. You nurture it, but you also know when it's time to enjoy its fruits. Holding Bitcon forever? It would be like watching a tree grow without ever taking a seat in its shade. Indeed, Bitcoin is a revolutionary asset, but let's face it: it's only a tool, not the goal in and of itself. The situation is as follows: The key to investing is balance. It's about development and realism. When necessary, make use of your Bitcoin earnings, but keep the big picture in mind. Bitcoim is a statement as much as an investment. Although you seem forward-thinking, keep in mind that you also have needs in the here and now. A work laptop funded by Bitcoin gains? That's not only wise, but also useful.

Furthermore, we must not overlook the future. Bitcoim is a window into a new financial age rather than just an asset. Keep it close at hand, but exercise caution. The secret, my buddy, is balance. Bitcoin isn't a golden calf; it's a financial tool. Continue investing, but never forget that the ultimate objective is to improve life now and in the future. Remember to enjoy the journey while maintaining your focus on the goal.
