Have you ever regretted selling your bitcoins ?

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Many a times I've had reasons, I mean genuine reasons to sell my bitcoin and I did sell it , though it is always a painful decision, but imagine if your wife was about to give birth to your baby, and the doctor said she can not deliver the baby on her own, that she needs to he operated on, and they need a deposit of a huge sum of money before they can commence the operation - what would you do? Would you watch your wife wallow in pain while you run around looking for who or where to borrow money from, or would you just sell those bitcoins to raise the money required to save your wife and your baby's life?

Well, the above have been my experience on three different occasions now, that is to say that, I've had to sell all my bitcoin on emergency three good times, I always regret it, but the joy of my new baby and my wife being alive always over-shadow every atom of regret, what I do is just start accumulating bitcoin afresh again, which I believe is the normal thing to do after all.

I think a lot of people faced some bumps along the way which made them sell their bitcoins let us take the past years when the pandemic started everyone basically lost money rich or poor everyone was extra in need of support and supply

I know people who had no choice but to sell their investments just to survive through the pandemic and now that we have gone back to normal i hope a lot pf us get to keep the things that will for sure benefit us in the long-term

I think Bitcoin is my problem solver when I am in financial trouble and for whatever I have to use it, and I consider Bitcoin a life companion that is always with me and maybe until the end of my life. I mean, Bitcoin will always help me in financial problems or emergencies and Bitcoin will also help me in my old age.
Me using it doesn't mean I use it all, and I only use it when I really need it. And don't focus too much on Bitcoin because we will never know what will happen to us so we will definitely take advantage of it, and I know the potential for Bitcoin in the future will be greater and will also be more profitable. So the best thing for me is Bitcoin is that when I need it I will use it and also for the future, and I will also use some of the profits when ATH happens for things that I really want and Bitcoin can make it happen.

We've all been there, that moment of realization when you remember selling your precious Bitcoins years ago and wonder if you missed the boat.  Well, take a deep breath, because im here to remind you that in the world of crypto, time is always on our side!

The answer to the question has been asked in the title. Yes, I have regret selling my Bitcoin. I entered the market in the last bull run and bought Bitcoin at the 50K to 60K range and then I didn't cash out my profit when it touched the ATH. I have waited and then the bear market begins! I didn't sell it at that moment because I wanted to hold it for as long as I could. I didn't know that Bitcoin might fall back to a price range like 15K anytime soon. But that happened. Bitcoin touched the 15K range and I still tried to hold my Bitcoin tight. However, due to some personal reasons, I had to sell my Bitcoin at the 18-20K range while I was 70% down. I had some financial problems which was the reason I sold my holdings. But I am glad that I have acquired a good portion of Bitcoin at the 27K range and now we are in the 42K range.

Cutting losses or selling bitcoin earlier than expected is something no one wants, but I think if we sell bitcoin to solve a more important job, there is nothing to regret. You should think more positively that if you don't have that bitcoin, where will you get the money to solve that emergency situation? So I think you should look on the bright side and not regret cutting your bitcoin losses.

For me, I have never regretted anything in this market from selling bitcoin early, participating in scam projects...all are valuable experiences and lessons. Thanks to those lessons, I become more and more mature and earn more money in the market.

It might sting a bit to think about what could have been if you held onto those BTC, but let's not forget the golden rule of crypto: it's a marathon, not a sprint. The market is dynamic, and opportunities are ever-present.

Have never felt disappointed and painful when you can't hold BTC for a long time because you have to sell it because of something important.
Bitcoin is worth selling if it's not yet time. When circumstances require me to sell even though it is not yet the time to sell, there is no feeling of being forced or regretful about selling.
It's true that Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme but Bitcoin is a marathon that needs to be passed from person to person to reach the finish line.

I've reluctantly made withdrawals because I needed urgent financial aid to situations that I did not make plans for. I would not say I really regret it, but I would say that I'm thankful that I had a place where I could get money to clear out myself. At a time, it was two choices for me, to either take a loan or sell off some bitcoins. Taking loans would yield interest that may make it difficult to pay, so I decided to sell off some bitcoins and work towards replacing them later (which I am doing now). If I sold bitcoins for some unimportant reason or expenses, I will be regretting by now, but because I sold some for a better reason, I do not regret it.

It is true. I also never regretted to sell my Bitcoin for urgent needs. Even I sell the Bitcoin for losses, I don't feel disappointed because it solves necessary problems. Selling the Bitcoin should be the last option to solve the problem, I will always prefer to keep my Bitcoin as long as I have another option. Sure, it is not easy to lose my Bitcoin whenever it doesn't reach the target for selling. However, solving the urgent needs will be the priority every time. If I must sell my Bitcoin, I am proud to my Bitcoin because it can be very helpful in my life.

Experiencing the moment of selling bitcoin is indeed the most painful thing to remember, but of course we don't need to regret it for long. Because I always believe that it is never too late to invest in bitcoin, even though I have sold it now I can buy it back and hold it for the long term, especially since this year is the year where the bitcoin halving moment will occur. of course buying bitcoin now is the right choice because as you said time will definitely be on our side. It hurts, yeah. But time can't be turned back, we have to wait and try not to miss the train again when Bitcoin reaches a new ATH.

Thats will be never a regret, its the moment, who could say when btc will hit ATH, even for the guy who bought 2 pizzas for 10.000 btc , i mean the moment/situation when something happens matter a lot, life still running dont forget that!!

[Dimitri94]

In dynamic crypto market who will capitalize the opportunity he will be the winner so we should not give up if we miss one opportunity. Because when one opportunity is gone, another opportunity will come but that opportunity should be utilized properly. This is suitable time for those who have not yet collected Bitcoin.

Very beginning after learning about Bitcoin I invested more money and sold it at a small profit but then Bitcoin became so bullish that it made me feel remorseful. But I forget that reminder and try again so that I don't miss the next train.

Very true. It's a marathon. Also, even if we sell then we should remember that somebody is buying on the other side.
You are taking the profits and enjoying your benefits of holding bitcoin and so you should not regret about selling your coins.
The only thing is don't sell at a loss but stay content for the profits you get when selling.

[Pmalek]

One shouldn't feel sorry for selling and exiting their positions at a time when they needed the money or felt it was time to sell. This is an economy that works in cycles. After a high there is always a low where you can stack up again and even recover from past losses. If the money you got from selling years ago was for a good use and spent intelligently, there is no need to feel that you have missed out on more profit and be sad about it.

[Litzki1990]

It is very common for an investor to regret selling his investment. Usually when we trade and sell the coins after making some profit from trading then when the market goes higher then we regret that we should have waited some more time. It has happened to most of us who are investors that the value of certain days has increased after that investor sold his investment. But if you repent, it will not be of any use, so there is no use in repenting. If the value of that coin increases after we sell it then we have to assume that the extra profit was not for us. Or we regret that after selling the investment the value of the coin increases, which teaches us that it is better to be patient and that we will get better if we are patient. You can't get excited by investing but you have to be patient. Hope if you are patient the market will return something good.

If everyone saw the potential of bitcoin from the beginning, there would be many rich people, but life is not that easy, the journey does not end in the present and the lessons of the past are only nourishes the body for strength. Yep, I also regretted selling some bitcoin a few years ago just to spend money on items that weren't really useful. But looking back, I see it as joy and am truly grateful that bitcoin is still alive and growing, and that there are still many opportunities.

Regrets should not be held back, but instead acknowledge the present and prepare for the next plan. It's like we still celebrate "bitcoin pizza day" every year, and sometimes regret it, but if we put it in that field, we would do the same.

[ChiBitCTy]

If you've been "around" bitcoin for long enough, I think everyone likely regrets selling bitcoin at some point in time.  I certainly regret selling the bitcoin that I had bought when the price of bitcoin was roughly $250.  Now that being said, nothing is ever guaranteed so at times I have the feeling that it sort of is what it is, I didn't know, no one knew when bitcoin was going to blast up to nearly 70k.

Well said bro. it really hurts to think that we missed the gold time when we could have earned and saved bitcoins that now worth thousands of dollars. but it is also true that Crypto is merathon and there will always be new opportunities for everyone getting into it.
I also regret some time that why I didn't stack up bitcoins when I had the chance and when it was very cheap. but we must understand and move on from that. and buckle up for new rides in crypto world.
All we can do now is earn as much as possible and HODL because there will be even bigger bull market than before previous one.

[coolcoinz]

All the people I know regret selling. We all had bitcoin in 2017 and some of us sold some as we approached 20k, while others held it and later panicked in the bear market, selling lower.

I bought a lot of electronics in the last 10 years using bitcoin gift cards. I still have most of it, but not all were essential purchases. I could use without some of them and have more bitcoin, especially that I thought myself smart and sold in bull markets. The problem of that was that there were more bull markets coming.

The truth is, holding without spending anything for years is boring. It's important to give yourself a treat from time to time.

[The Cryptovator]

To be honest, I sometimes regret some sales that were for trading purposes. But those I sold for my needs—I don't regret that. During trading, sometimes I miss the boat. After I sold my bitcoin, the price moved significantly, and I wasn't able to buy it back at all. So when I remember that, I regret it, of course. This is life; it always won't be in my favour. But still, I want to accumulate and make money from the volatility. Regretting and being hopeless won't help us gain anything. We have to focus on the future.

There are always opportunities in the Bitcoin market. To take advantage of these opportunities, we need to learn from our mistakes. Some of us heard about Bitcoin much later, and some of us learned about it very early. The common point of all these stories of meeting Bitcoin may be the sentence "I wish I had not sold my Bitcoins and waited."

Bitcoin has offered and continues to offer many opportunities to all of us. There are many times I wish I had known about Bitcoin earlier, but we can't change the past. It is necessary to take steps towards the future.

Me, on the other hand, regret selling it when I want to gamble and then lose those precious BTC, or even if I won, I didn't convert my fiat or local currency to Bitcoin so that it will remain intact. I don't regret when something very important is happening in my life that I really need to sell it because of the circumstances, but gambling? when I think about it and reflect on what I have done mostly in the past? yeah, I feel disappointment with the way things unfolded.

So probably I think you will agree that it's the same situation with you in trading, you missed the boat, or your timing is off when selling then. Prices move on the opposite direction and you just wish that you didn't make that mistakes to sell and then just lose them in trading. But I guess for everyone though, this kind of regrets should be a lesson to us and not let it consume us and overthink about it.
