How I almost become a millionaire

[Ever-young]

You missed the opportunity of buying Bitcoin at its earliest stages because you thought it was another Ponzi scheme to defraud you, fine.bt it might interest you to know now that a lot of people who are reaping millions off bitcoin right now as we speak also missed that opportunity, but the difference is that, they didn't live their lives regretting the opportunity they missed, they picked up from somewhere and started investing in Bitcoin.

I'll also give you the same advice your friend gave you back then, this time it's different because you're now sure that Bitcoin isn't a Ponzi scheme, now I'll only tell you that Bitcoin has the potential of reaching even more greater heights in the coming years, it's never too late to start investing in bitcoin right now, everytime is the best time, you might be thinking how to start simply because 1 bitcoin is over 70k right now, you dont need to buy 1 full bitcoin to start, buy in chunks and HODL.

If you're thinking of how to start, you could employ the DCA technique, set a weekly or monthly budget for yourself on how much you you'll be taking out from your income to invest in Bitcoin. If you start DCAing now, in a few years time, you'll be happy with your decision.

In the year 2010,my best friend introduce me to cryptocurrency and he advice me to invest in bitcoin. I felt bitcoin was another ponzi scheme created by scammers to scam innocent people. Today my friend is a multi Millionaire. If only I had listened to his advice,I would have become a millionaire by now.

lol 😆
So you're trying to tell us what would have happened if......

You want us to start telling you how we would have been in our twenties if our parent had waited a bit longer before making out or how that you might not have up staying the next ten years without buying a single Bitcoin?

Mate, know that's regrets doesn't mean that you will be able to do anything different if you're given the previledge over and over again. Chances are that if you had invested at the time you probably wouldn't be able to hold till this till this time and would probably remain broke. Most of the early Bitcoin investor weren't able to hold for a longer period of time before they sold their Bitcoin all out for an amount that's just a piece of shit. Maybe you should tell us what's your current Bitcoin accumulation status? Are you still sitting in the bench or you're still skeptical about buying cause the price is probable too expensive to think of buying at this time?

How do we know you would have turned a multi-millionaire by now? Here you are saying "if", so how do you know you wouldn't have sold even at that early stage after the price you might have bought had made you a chicken change profit.

Let leave the past die in the past and cease from making regrettable words that we're are not so certain about us achieving it only just because someone we knew started at the same time had made success today in it.

Okay, let agree you didn't invest in bitcoin many years ago, so fuck the regret. Here's another open opportunity make good use of it so you don't come up with another regrettable "if" 10-15 years from now. Take this as a free 5cent advise .

You got to know about Bitcoin in 2010 and you thought it was a scam, it was okay to think like that during the early years of Bitcoin, but 2010 is such a long time ago, and if you still haven't bought Bitcoin until now, then i guess you are still not interested and hence no need for this post.

Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme, so do not think that buying Bitcoin automatically means you become rich, many people who bought or mined Bitcoin's in its early years, sold it very early and did not make as much ROI as you think. Thus if you are interested in Bitcoin, learn more about it before you get involved.

If you had followed the valuable advice your friend gave you 14 years ago today and invested in Bitcoin, we wouldn't be regretting it today. But there is still time to invest in Bitcoin and you should invest before 2030 Bitcoin reaches million dollars. If you can invest now then you too have a chance to become a millionaire after 2030.

We are giving a bad narrative to bitcoin when we tell them outrightly that they will become billionaires when we why invest into bitcoin for some time frame. Even the OP’s friend who had advice him to invest in 2010 i am sure didn’t tell him that he will he millionaire because it will be a tricky predictions. The OP even if he invested then might have even cashout in his thousands and wouldn’t have let it to ride to millions.

From that years down to now I don’t think the OP would tell me he is still in denial that this coin will go far, if he is then it will be hard to convince him at this stage. But should he consider buying now I wouldn’t tell him he will be rich because that will depend on the amount he buys with and how patient he keeps them. The volatility nature of bitcoin has reduce and we wouldn’t be able to do the percentage moves it did in its early stages. So OP invest and hold for long and if it turns out well you will be a millionaire.

This is the part most of people regret in life they didnt trust Bitcoin at the start of the lowest price, but of course, we cannot deny there's a doubt that the things are just new to their system, base on your experience you already saw already the potential of the bitcoin and it never been too late, we are now facing the upcoming halving even you didnt ride from the starts its not late to have a ride on even just a small profit. Now its up to you if you will get ride with the market or miss again the opportunity.

You are not the only one involved in this kind of experience, as some have already replied you, it may be that you invested in the early days and forget the value and release the bitcoin for nothing sake because as at then, it has no value to what can be compared to the present value today, that alone would have been more annoying and disappointing to you as well if you had invested earlier and have sold for nothing that has value or even lost all your coins then.

Well we've all been there- we once doubted the wonders of BTC as we relied completely on news and hearsay from people.

I know what you are feeling; that realization when you could have been a millionaire by now if you just had listen to yourself in the past. But do not worry, it is definitely okay to ponder about the past but let it be a lesson that would inspire you to make rational decisions from now on.

I do think that majority of the people in this forum has heard BTC in the past and only a few were able to maximize on the opportunity of investing and HODLing at the same time. It sucks but at least you know what you are dealing right now since you have the information.

Make it as your inspiration OP so that 10-15 years from now, you could sell and at least take advantage of the forks that will happen.

In 2010. But how about years after? Like 2015, 2016 or 2020? Bitcoin price was still around $16000 in 2022. I hope you later invested? Or your still doubted?

I like what pooya87 posted that have you learned from your past mistake?

Just know that if you think of your bad past, it can only hurt you more without giving you anything good in return. Forget the past and believe there is hope in the future.

Well, while it is too late to cry when the head is off, it is of much consolation that you can start your own cryptocurrencies investment now and benefit in some years from now if you follow in your friend's footstep.
Although Bitcoin would be facing a major event which is the halving soonest, it is imperative that any new investor willing to join the family, buy and HoDL despite the price dip and keep accumulating until the bull run comes again after the halving.

For maximum benefit from now, at least accumulate BTC for a five year period leading unto a decade and sell an take profit or diversify your portfolio based on new knowledge you have gained or insight into the best and next profit market.

The is like "medicine after death". Many people have this regrets with some able to speak up and more to come. You missed Bitcoin when it was few cents, you missed it when it was a few hundreds, you missed it when it got to $750. Even when it got to $1,000 you still believe it was a ponzi. What about after several bull runs? At what point did you believe that Bitcoin was not a ponzi and what have you done so far from that point onward?

If you knew about Bitcoin as early as 2010 and failed to invest in it yet you have a friend who did and held till date, it simply means you are a Bitcoin critics, those that hate the idea of Bitcoin and have concluded it was a scam or outright bubble. I have seen your type, many of them and till date some are still hoping that Bitcoin fails.

No one knows the fate of a person. If in 2010 you invested in Bitcoin and knew the potential price of Bitcoin in the next 10 years and you were willing to endure various obstacles, you would be a millionaire now.

Very few people at that time respected the advice given regarding Bitcoin because very few people believed that Bitcoin could become the most valuable asset today. A person is best when he is able to learn from a historical experience.
When your friend meets you again and says, this is why it is necessary to have Bitcoin, then that is a motivation for you to learn now in looking to the future with Bitcoin. That time is still there now.

Well too bad you didnt listen to him and also if ever you listened and did bought some would you be able to hold during that time? Btc echibit some growth and with the price during 2010 surely youll be happy to sold some. Right now we are on its peak, can you say that youll hold bitcoin during its 10k and not gonna sold 20k, 30k, 40k, 50k or more? Its also a huge profit already so only few might got the balls to hold the longest time or at least have some moon bag for longer period.

My condolences to you.  It is very sad that you did not listen to your friend.  If you listen, maybe your situation would be like your friend today.  But there is no use in regretting.  Because what will happen has happened.  Now you should think about the future without regrets.  Time is not over yet you can still invest Bitcoin if you want.  If you invest your income but some amount of money regularly in Bitcoin, you are going to get a promising result in the coming bull run.  But that's what you need to wait patiently and invest regularly.

Now you have learned about bitcoin not being a Ponzi scheme, what are you doing about that? Is it to complain about a missed opportunity to be a millionaire like your friend or to accumulate bitcoin at a discount price through the DCA strategy?

Your next line of action will determine how wealthy you can now be through Bitcoin investment. However, make use of the opportunity properly so that we won't hear you complain again in the future about failing to invest in bitcoin when others did.

@OP, This statement is not new to me; that's how everyone who missed out on buying Bitcoin at a price less than $2 has always wished they took the advice of their friend or brother to buy Bitcoin earlier, but no regrets; just buy now so you don't also regret in the future. You might feel that Bitcoin is too expensive right now for you to invest in. Yes, realistically, Bitcoin is very expensive for an average individual to afford 1 piece of it, but the good thing is that you can buy Bitcoin in fractions. They said a drop of water can form an ocean (parable), so if you steadily ingage in DCA, accumulating Bitcoin regularly depending on the cash flow, you can accumulate a large sum of Bitcoin. Hold that large sum for the next 15 years, and then you could be a winner too. Do you imagine what the price of Bitcoin will be in the next 15 years? 

Bitcoin is still a teenager; what will become of it when it finally becomes a full-grown adult at age 34? 

If I call my mind back to when I started hearing about Bitcoin, the price was not above $5k, so if I had invested then, I would probably be a billionaire today, but I don't want to even think about it.

Haha, no problem buddy as you may also see a lot of stories just like you shared many miss like you to buy Bitcoin at a cheaper price, Those who were present at that time and had the idea all about that I mean about Bitcoin those days bitcoin do not have well popularity and adoption and now it has huge popularity and its adoption is increasing day by day. But do not feel as if you can not change your past but you can change your future and do not think anymore about your past. Think about the future as you can not change the past but you can change the future.

and if you still want to think about your past then just learn from past mistakes to groom yourself to make your future good so that you can grow up in a good way... what do you think about that? haha if we had the time machine we all would have bought Bitcoin at that time in 2010, but sadly the innovation has not been invented so forget about it at all and focus on real-time things like thinking oh I wish I had about bitcoin that time.

Around last year one of my friend was telling me he was trading bitcoin around 2014 on a website which he can’t even remember the name, he told me his phone got spoilt then, and he got another phone, since he was just trading and he never expected anything serious from bitcoin, after getting a new phone, his attention shifted from bitcoin, he never logs in to the account again. We were having conversations around 2020, and he was telling about it, the most annoying part is that he doesn’t even remember the name of the website, and even if he does, I don’t think the website will still be functional, and he said he left some bitcoin on the website. The amount he left might not be much as at them, but currently, it will be a big amount of money.

It's not too late and all of us have got the same story to share about these big ifs in our lives. Me either, when I have first heard about it since like the early 2010's were like the internet era were a lot of online scams have been made and you cannot blame yourself for being skeptic and protective when you've became a victim of it once. Well, just be happy that someone was able to become a multi millionaire and he's your friend, you can make your own journey and start it out because it's never been too late to invest. Or, if there is some other industry that you can flourish your life with and become productive with it.

Don't worry, you have lots of friends who are almost millionaires. In fact, you could almost become a millionaire if you did the same thing that year. Yes, even though I haven't known about Bitcoin for a long time, at least, in 2018, I really had the desire to invest, but unfortunately I didn't do it and even when I had it, I immediately took profits when the price went up.

because it's quite natural. In the past, BTC was considered an impossible ponzi scheme and so on. Even now, this is because not many people are open to Bitcoin, so don't regret what you didn't choose first. It's better to focus now on realizing ourselves to become millionaires from crypto, especially Bitcoin.
