Dealing with Regret

[Treeple]

Treeple here,

First day on the legendary forum I've seen for so long through screenshots only.

How does one deal with regret over not researching and becoming a Bitcoiner earlier?

I often find myself filled with regret, daydreaming about going back in time and getting involved in Bitcoin early.
It has gotten to the point where I am not very optimistic about my 2.15 BTC position at ~37k

I am not greedy. I live a very simple life with my wife and daughter. We have dreams to buy a farm and live off the land. It's not possible for us where we currently live.
I have poured my life's savings into Bitcoin with the hopes of obtaining this freedom. This dream.

Any advice / encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

Just deal and accept it.

You'll have to accept that part that it's done and we've missed those early days of Bitcoin. Nothing is going to change with our lives if we keep on dwelling in the past.

You accept it, buy and hold and keep the faith that we're still on the early days of bitcoin and the entire world hasn't adopted yet. There's more to come actually for Bitcoin even if it's already sitting $50k - $52k now.

Lol this will only lead you to frustration mate.


remember that crypto market is still growing and bitcoin is making its way up every other years so why asking this?

you will only hurt yourself thinking about this instead try to make your own way to profit from it.

Buy now and keep them thats all you can do now.

Dream and regret brings nothing but frustration which can make things worse than they are so better focus on the future instead of keep looking at the past.

Every bitcoin holder had thoughts like this at least once, for example why I haven't bought Bitcoins for $100 which I spent on useless clothes, why I sell my bitcoin for two digit profit? blah blah.

You already have bitcoin and that was the advice I was gonna give you.

You have to accept the fact that you can not turn back time. You just have to be grateful of what you already have. You said you are not greedy so it should be easy to accept what you current have. I can not explain that kind of regret other than greed. I too wonder sometimes what would have happened if I had invested in bitcoin earlier but it does not consume my everyday thoughts.

I do have bitcoin and I already feel so much thankful that I had found bitcoin and now I have a great future ahead of me.

Mate bitcoin will still increase. You will see more and more money so do not feel regretful of the time you did not invest. Just think that someday, you are the one late comers will look up to because you invested earlier than them and they would wish they had become like you.

Investing in bitcoin is a good decision don't regret it not only you but there are many other investors who get some profit if they invest late. Do not combine bitcoin investing with your everyday thinking. Based on your financial situation try to save long term separately. Bitcoin has a bright future. Don't regret bitcoin price will go up you can move towards fulfilling your dream.

and that is worth listening mate , sometimes we just need to accept the fact that not everything will come our way , but if we will do the right thing then we can achieve what we have to gather.
invest with the amount we can afford to lose and we can afford to keep waiting and not to expect easy income because this is what crypto specially bitcoin investing means.

sometimes it is very difficult to be able to make peace with ourselves for the mistakes we have made, but there is no other way apart from that, we have to be able to make peace with the mistakes we have made. because if we cannot make peace with ourselves, it means we will continue to live in the past and will not be able to move forward. this will even slowly damage ourselves, because we continue to blame ourselves for these mistakes. and because of this, make peace with yourself first and just accept the fact that you can't turn back time.

Hey OP, regret is a manifestation of greed and you don't need to make excuses for that behavior, because it's a natural thing that most people will experience.

I learned about bitcoin quite early, and the lessons I have received so far have blown away regrets about the past and replaced them with gratitude. Since I'm still here, to be able to talk about opportunities in bitcoin even when going through long positions in bitcoin at low prices is no problem. Live happily in the present, instead of regretting the opportunities that have passed and continue to prepare for your future, don't let that regret happen again, think positively.

No body keep looking back is fit for the raise of success, I think am fully agreed with you, about frustration why looking back. The day you realize your not doing the right thing in life that is the beginning of your success. Your at early stage to Bitcoin today millions of people are not yet informed just as you know now the same situation your facing now will be their own too, it's not all about regret taken the required action speak louder than regret Bitcoin can be like the man who wen to hire labourer in different time interval and decided to pay them the same rate according to how they work using their tools to collect their rewards, starting now is not issue ur effort matter's.

That's true. If we keep on dwelling in the past, it will make us remember some things which where not meant to be remembered. Let by gone be by gone and let's focus on the future. If you check people check the history of Bitcoin before and now, there is a sign of drastic increase which is a continuous one, and that is the more reason we should stop dwelling in the past and focus on the future, because the future is already bright.  Anytime you know about Investment is when start your journey, just accep the past and focus on the future.

If you will dig more in internet you will find a man(actually His family) have decided to sell all His assets just to Invest in bitcoin , they even live in really poor living while waiting for bitcoin to increase its value.


In 2016, Dutch national Didi Taihuttu, his wife and three daughters sold everything they owned to invest in Bitcoin when it was trading at only $900. “We sold everything we had – house, cars, motorbikes, holiday home, clothes, toys, furniture and [it] all went into Bitcoin,” Mr Taihuttu tells The National.

Hope this helps you encouraged more mate.

We can all have some kinds of regrets. That can be for personal things like about our family. And then we can have regrets for not investing in Bitcoin and crypto.
But you can not feel regret about this. Because we did not know how much Bitcoins were going to be worth for us in the future.
Sometimes I think about if I made my family buy Bitcoins years back how much better off we would be. But we can not become depressed over it.

WOW what a great topic !!


Why almost all young men want to get rid of horniness ?!
Why almost all young souls want to get rid of regret ?!

Horniness is a valuable energy you can turn into orgasms.
Regret is a valuable asset you can turn into the passion and love (love of life).

Regret is uncut diamond, only some work is needed to do with it. Do not throw it away !

We all are familiar with block chain, the regret chain is may-be even more useful... in 2006 you regret 2004, in 2007 you regret 2006, in 2010 you regret 2007, in 2012 you regret 2010, in 2013 you regret 2012, in 2014 you regret 2013, in 2015 you regret 2014, in 2017 you regret 2015, in 2018 you regret 2017, in 2020 you regret 2018, in 2021 you regret 2020, in 2022 you regret 2021, in 2025 you regret 2022, in 2026 you regret 2025, in July 7, 2026 you regret June 28, 2026, in 2028 you regret 2026, in 2029 you regret 2028, in December 1 15:01, 2029 you regret December 1, 14:57, 2029, in 2031 you regret 2029, in 2032 you regret 2031, ...

The Bitcoin regret is only one small episode in this valuable chain, one diamond in your necklace.
...
...
Lets start to concentrate our attention (ATTENTION is a keyword here !!) to the first episode of the Bitcoin episode...

One rainy day at the end of 2000s.... Air France Flight 447 crashes in the Atlantic Ocean; Barack Obama becomes the first African American to become President of the United States; protests erupt over the 2009 Iranian presidential election; US Airways Flight 1549 crash-lands in the Hudson River; the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson dies; an earthquake strikes central Italy, killing 308; the H1N1 virus was responsible for the swine flu pandemic..... and other similar staff...  
... and suddenly you noticed a graffiti at the wall of one abandoned woodshed

BITCOINTALK

, and below that word with smaller letters:

please, please, please look at me !!!!!!!

, and below these words with even smaller letters

I am your salvation
....

You noticed this graffiti, you thought about these weird words for a few seconds... and - because we all are more than saturated from all kind of "important", "life-changing" advertisements and messages - walked away... and forgot this message for more than a year (yes, we almost always forget things we see or hear only once)... until you saw the word "Bitcoin" second time... in one underground investment forum, in the scam section.... This time you even did not consciously noticed this word.... (because we are able to consciously notice only a tiny percentage of things we see or hear).... But next night you had a dream - rarely clear and live .... you were again in front of this graffiti wall just as more than a year ago but this time you felt something... something really strange... you were 100% conscious (yes, conscious in the dream) and you noticed consciously, with full ATTENTION that someone as conscious as you, with same full ATTENTION as you have now, someone really wants to tell you something important, something so important and life-changing (this time, without quotation marks) that you just have to really look at this and understand this - a real gift.... and when you woke up, this feeling this ATTENTION stayed with you and you realized that you have to go and see this graffiti wall again and find out what it wants to say to you ! But, but, but this old abandoned woodshed was demolished and a new much more "valuable" building stood in its place already.





"Maailmale antakse tõdedega hiigelvarandusi. Teie vaikite ja teete ainult rumalusi." (a graffity from one wall of the Viru street, Tallinn, Estonia)
