No risk no gain

[GbitG]

I regretted very much why I didn't take a risk. If you want to do something, you have to take a risk, nothing happens without a risk.

Yep, mate that's the truth!
Sometimes, facing a risk can lead to a life-changing opportunity. And this is the same opportunity you missed, but Bitcoin follows such a pattern that it definitely provides opportunities to opportunity grabbers. So now it's okay that your brother didn't believe you, but the first mistake you made was that you recommended a volatile investment like Bitcoin. You had played the role of a financial abuser, but it is good that your brother did not invest in your request because if he had lost, he would have blamed you. 
 
But anyway, OP, now that you don't get any benefit from sitting and regrating, you still have an opportunity to invest because a few moments before halving have just happened, and maybe Bitcoin can hit 180k to 200k in the near future. So you can get a good profit, but I am not giving this financial advice but for an educational purpose.

DYOR!

[Adbitco]

Since you have been telling your brother to invest why didn't you invest yourself than waiting for your brother to join you invest and then you said you made research about bitcoin right? Okay after making the research why don't you have that fate that bitcoin is something worth investing than you to keep waiting for your brother before you go invest, now that the price has increased would you have your brother to be blamed here or you are to be blame for not taking bold steps to invest.

Usually we had similar stories over the time but, I know that some people even an angel appears to them and say invest they won't invest until they are convinced about what they are putting their money, if they don't get the whole thing clear they won't invest i believe that is now you know that you made a mistake for not investing on bitcoin on time.

Cheer up! It's fine. It will be a lesson to you already. So the best thing to do is you be prepared and already have knowledge about the market, it could help you to identify when to enter next, you are still not late.
Just think about what happened in $21,000 up to $74,000. Bitcoin will stay.

I first heard about Bitcoin around 2016 but then I had no idea what Bitcoin was. Someone online was saying to work on it because I don't know anything about it. Then I heard about Bitcoin again in 2022 when the price of Bitcoin was 21000 dollars. I did a little research on Bitcoin and saw that it was good. From whom I heard, I said to a brother, brother, let's invest. Buy a bitcoin and keep it.Fifty percent and I invested fifty percent but that brother did not agree then. Day by day the price of Bitcoin was increasing and the price was going up and down around 25, 30, 31 thousand dollars. Still I told my brother to invest but he did not agree. That price eventually reached 74 thousand dollars. I regretted very much why I didn't take a risk. If you want to do something, you have to take a risk, nothing happens without a risk.

As a result, did you still buy bitcoin or do you continue to whine about the lost profitable investment?

Do you regret not buying bitcoin for $31k, $30k, $25k, $21k? Well, you made me laugh. Now I regret (actually not anymore) that I didn’t buy bitcoin for ~$0.6k. You will really start to regret not investing in BTC during this year when bitcoin reaches the $100-$150k level. And you will also continue to regret each subsequent bullrun when you see the new ATH. Do you want to experience this feeling for the rest of your life without ever trying to invest in bitcoin?

Another note: the presence of risk doesn't yet guarantee profit, but profit is, in principle, impossible without the existence of risk.

[Roser bouce]

I am just curious why you need to request others to buy Bitcoin. Because you can buy Bitcoin yourself for any amount. It's not necessary to buy a full bitcoin. So you don't need to think about the 50/50 scheme when you intend to invest in Bitcoin. I assume you don't have enough proper knowledge about how Bitcoin works. So you need to study a bit more. I will advise you to spend more time on the forum and read as much as you can, especially related to Bitcoin technology. It's true that if you can't take a risk in crypto, you won't be a gainer at any point. Crypto isn't for panicky people. 

Because he talk about Bitcoin and also one scam site.1st time I known that's why I said to him investment to Bitcoin.He can't that's why me also no investment.This was 2022 Sir.

[traderethereum]

Buying bitcoin or not buying bitcoin is up to the individual. We cannot force other people to buy bitcoin because it is each person's decision.
If someone is confident in bitcoin and has seen the results, he will buy bitcoin immediately. He won't be swayed by others who say to stay away from bitcoin.
Right now, they still have the opportunity to buy bitcoin. The current price is still low compared to the possibility that the price could rise very high.
So we just provide information about bitcoin and let them decide for themselves.

I hardly blame your brother here, cause your the one that believed in bitcoin and had done research about it but you didn't chose to take the risk on your own, I think that should be because you had little knowledge about the DCA method that allows you buy bitcoin in portions and at intervals, that way you can buy bitcoin buy yourself without needing any lump sum investment, and even better you wouldn't have been bothered about the best time to buy cause DCA  allows you to buy bitcoin at every market condition.

Regardless of whether your story is true or fabricated, I see it from a positive point of view that experiences like this happen or are experienced by many people.
My focus is not on the truth of your story but your desire to get people to invest in Bitcoin after you find out that the price of Bitcoin has increased a lot every year.
I feel that telling people to invest in Bitcoin based on price increases alone is not the right thing to do.
Someone will invest in Bitcoin if they know a lot about Bitcoin such as how Bitcoin works as a peer-to-peer electronic currency because Bitcoin is not all about price.

You just proved a point concerning how people look for motivation in others to do a thing, especially if it's something that involves risk. You could've invested the little you could and let your unwilling brother be. We've to realize that it's even a big risk dragging others to invest with us in what they know not of. If it goes wrong, of course they will quickly turn round to blame us. If it goes well, we only get a "Thank you" but never a monetary compensation for leading them into profitable investment. The "thank you" will even be from those who care to show gratitude; others will even act like they never sold or made profit from it.

[Jawhead999]

Lol, what a ridiculous story.

Are you a man? seems not, you're better to wear skirt.

A man need to be independent, even your friends didn't agree with you, but you know what you doing, just do it by yourself. There are many people who have crab mentality especially your closest friends since you both grew up from the same place/ same school/ same company, but they don't want to see you are more successful than them.

[Blitzboy]

Risk is the name of the game, especially in crypto. Damn, riding Bitcoin from 2016 to that ridiculous 2022 top. It proves timing and courage can go far. Bitcoin is wild, but its not only about becoming rich. The goal is to upend our system. The short-term fluctuations are part of life, but the long-term tendency speaks for itself. Regret and missing the boat are common. The real win was your forethought. Bitcoin advocates decentralised money and a different future. Continue to burn - the next wave will come. Technology and concept are growing stronger, but this usually cycles.

[knowngunman]

Sounds rather contradictory. You told your bother to invest in Bitcoin, but you didn't invest in it yourself, and now you are regretting. It means you also never believed in Bitcoin to begin with and only got to realize that you missed an opportunity when thing are now looking well

Not contradictory but misunderstanding rather. From my understanding, Op thought he can only buy the whole bitcoin at time and probably didn't have the financial strength to buy a whole coin and wants his brother to contribute half of the money while he also contribute half of the money too, so they can buy full coin. However, it's ridiculous he said he research about bitcoin but failed to find out that he can buy a portion of Bitcoin with any amount of money he has. I wonder what or which area he focused on while doing his research. Moreover, you don't have to involve anyone in your investment unless you are operating partnership from the beginning. Besides, you can still be into partnership with your brother and have your own personal investment. Partnership in crypto investment is not even ideal due to the nature of investment and its security measures.

OP is not the only person who learned about bitcoin and did not dare to invest in it, but then started regretting and whining everywhere for not investing in bitcoin at that time. We don't need to blame them because that can be considered the common mentality of most people who are new to bitcoin. Because when learning about bitcoin from information sources on the internet, they will not be able to avoid negative news and that will make them somewhat confused.

But I really don't like people who like to complain and regret when there is still a chance to correct their mistakes. Why doesn't OP buy bitcoin now instead of spending time whining and regretting? What I'm interested in is did the OP buy bitcoin or does he think it's too late to invest in bitcoin?

[moneystery]

why do you need to convince other people when you can do it yourself using your money? because it is much faster and easier when you invest your money directly without having to wait for someone else.

i actually think that you also doubt that your money will be lost so you force your brother to invest his money in bitcoin, just in case that when the investment doesn't go according to what you predicted, it won't be you but someone else who loses.

Thanks for sharing your journey with Bitcoin! It's a great example of how opportunities sometimes come with risks, and it's natural to feel some regret about missed chances. The cryptocurrency space can be quite volatile, but your experience highlights the importance of doing research and being open to taking calculated risks. Each person's investment journey is unique, and it's never too late to explore new opportunities in the market!

It's true that investing decisions can be influenced by various factors, including personal convictions and risk tolerance. I'm curious, what were the key factors that made you hesitant to invest in Bitcoin earlier, despite hearing about its potential? And now that you've seen the significant price increase, how has your perspective on investing evolved?

[Frankolala]

It is not too late for you to take the risk and invest in bitcoin now, after you ha e missed the previous opportunity because your friend refused to invest with you into bitcoin. A lot of people have made such mistakes in the past but correcting it now will help you from more regrets in future. You can but a fraction of bitcoin with as low as $50 and above, and no need of worrying to buy a full bitcoin.

Knowledge is the key to success, so you need to learn more about bitcoin and take advantage of it by investing the moment you can invest. You can use DCA to accumulate regularly either buying weekly or monthly. Bitcoin investment is best done alone for privacy and safety.

[Winterfrost]

I regretted very much why I didn't take a risk. If you want to do something, you have to take a risk, nothing happens without a risk.

was patiently waiting for the part you would have said you bought some but that your brother did not. You want to motivate us or what? Even if your story is real (actually this is just a bunch of fabricated stories), do you play the advisory role to a reluctance person while you don't even have a single Bitcoin?

There are thousands of people that were aware of Bitcoin when it wasn't up to it curent value but were skeptical about buying because of a myopic mindset that didn't allow them see what lies ahead of Bitcoin in years to come and that's still what's happening to you now that you're still  yet to be determined about buying Bitcoin at the current price or not.

[Casdinyard]

While the same could be said, the thing is that there are certain situations where people literally would risk everything they own and more if they were to put it up with investing. People who live paycheck to paycheck, breadwinners who have no backups and would literally have their families starving to death if they lose their jobs or their finances, and poor kids who can't afford to put money they could've spent on food or stuff that would make their lives a little bit better on stuff like investments and crypto.

In cases like these I hope we become a little more considerate, it's not like everyone's risk appetites the same as ours, and in your case, it's okay to be very afraid especially since it is your first time investing if you were given the chance. It's better to be more prepared than getting into it afraid when it comes to crypto, cause if your heart's not into it you'll just find yourself pulling out your investments at the first sight of a dump just as what happened to me in my first few months in the crypto scene.
