Today cry of regret who is to blame, selling BTC before bull run

[SmartCharpa]

A lot of factors made some investors to sell their bitcoin before now and some of the reasons are: fear of the price falling before the US elections, lack of confidence and believe that bitcoin has the potentials to increase with time, listening to negative news about bitcoin, no good source of income to manage livelihood while continuing with hodling, hunger and poverty, lack of jobs and the high cost of living.
          It has been discussed severally that anyone who wish to venture into bitcoin investment should be able to have a good source of income and make sure they have made arrangements for funds that can take care of their life expenditures and emergency needs in the future so that they don't tamper with their bitcoin while still in accumulation stage. We can't really blame those who sold so soon because on the other hand, who know the pandemonium that would have happened in the price of bitcoin if Donald Trump didn't win.

After Trump's victory in the US election, I also had similar feelings. A close friend of mine told me that they will dump Bitcoin after it has hit $90k, but as time goes on, the price rises more than what many expected. Normally, I didn't believe him since nobody can predict the future of Bitcoin, we don't know if it will continue to rise from its present level or fall deeper. Many people had bad opinions about Bitcoin and sold their bitcoins because they believed that Trump would bring down the market price if he won.

However, I will hold people who sold their Bitcoin to blame because they should not have invested in the initial place when they knew they had negative feelings about Bitcoin. However, I agree with you that it was either a lack of confidence and knowledge about Bitcoin or a lack of jobs, hunger, and the increasing price of living every day, otherwise, a real investor would not sell their Bitcoin because they heard a rumor that the price of the cryptocurrency would drop seriously whether Trump wins or loses.

E never late sha, anybody wey serious fit still use this time start to build him bitcoin portfolio, then give am like 4 to 5 years from today and see how big e go don become. If we follow the market cycle of bitcoin, in the next 4 years, we go expect another big pump wey go pass as e dey now already.

Yes never too late as there's no perfect entry point for Bitcoin even though buying high might not work for most because  they will still panic sell once there's any dip...
The issue is patience,  without it investors will always come out with loss, for example when BTC hit 95~98k I know some people will FOMO  buy for the 100k speculation news. However, most of this people panic sold in loss when BTC was heading to 90k without making any profit yet loosing. The problem is not investing, if an investor can hold for a long term,no strategy might work for that investor

Anyone can buy bitcoin, but not everyone has the capacity to invest for the long term, because everyone has problems, and when you don't have any other options, you will most likely sell to address your troubles. Because if you invest in bitcoin and have a problem to solve, you can simply leave the coin and look for another alternative to solve the problem. If you don't have another option, you can sell and resolve the problem because bitcoin is volatile, and even if you sell now, the price will undoubtedly rise again because you can predict the market. Op I don't think people who sold their coins before the bull run would be sorry because some of them fulfilled their goals and sold them out. And some will sell it for personal reasons, anybody invests to make a profit in order to solve a problem, and you are stating that some people are regretting selling their bitcoin before the bull run when they utilized the money to fix their problems, how can they regret that.

My people the cry today in our society over the sudden rise of Bitcoin has acted as shock to many who refused to hear instructions or even control their emotions while holding BTC due to what I called stomach infrastructure as they cried for hunger and forget the future. It's no longer news as BTC kick start the rise after US election many short time Holder of Bitcoin is unrest for losing greatly in selling off their holding and other crypto assets despite the warning and speculation from many of the forum projecting Bitcoin to hit 100k before the year end which is almost achieve and will eventually exceed before the end of the Bull run, my question to those crying today is who is to be blame for their selling of assets hunger or ignorant because this projections of BTC hitting 100k has always been discussed in various thread on regular basis. Let your idea count.

They can't cry more than the Btc pizza boy, so their cry are lesson to us, never to panic when it comes to bitcoin, because you will always win regardless. Those that cry most are the one that invested in cryptocurrency through the back door. They are people who never had any basic training in  cryptocurrency or have an expert trader and mentor. Because if you have an expert trader as mentor he will always guide you.  I made more money in this bull run because my mentor t list some Altcoins for me to invest in, and I took advantage of that information and invested in them, its important to be very curious about the do and dot in cryptocurrency so tomorrow you won't be among the town crier

I believe that the OP is just referring to bitcoin getting to $100k and not just any random crypto currencies. I think it's important to distinguish bitcoin from any other coins out there. It is bitcoin he is saying that those who sold earlier are crying. Another thing is that it's worth to know that Laszlo didn't regret for using 10k bitcoin for pizza because from informations available online, it was observed that Laszlo has been making other transactions with bitcoins as he was part of the early miners. So I don't believe that Laszlo was ever in regret for what he did. The 10k bitcoin for pizza came into limelight because it was the highest single transaction with bitcoin for the payment of a commodity. Everything we do with bitcoin is a choice wether we sell early or not. Wether we have mentors or not. People who sold their bitcoin made a choice and they have to live with it. There are those who don't have a mentor in bitcoin investment and today they are still successful.

my question to those crying today is who is to be blame for their selling of assets hunger or ignorant because this projections of BTC hitting 100k has always been discussed in various thread on regular basis. Let your idea count.

Bro I hope say you dy naija as it stands now, and if truly you dy the country, you no go blame those people wey sell their holdings that much, because things are hard, and the cost of living is trying to kill the living.
Tell me who go dy think of holding his or her Bitcoin when hunger dy strike am very hard.

Even though the country is hard, it is not enough reason to sell your bitcoin investment for short-term gain or profit. Nigeria has already been hard, and it is our responsibility to invest in bitcoin in such a way it will not stop us from solving our daily expenses and also use the money we will not be needing for 4-10 years or more to invest in bitcoin. So that we will not be in a hurry to sell our bitcoin investment even though we are at a loss to survive. There are so many investors in Nigeria who have been holding their bitcoin for a long time now, so we should not use the situation of the country and sell our bitcoin prematurely because we will regret our actions in the future when bitcoin will create any history. If we plan our bitcoin investment well and invest within our discretionary income, there is no way we will sell our bitcoin investment to survive.

My people the cry today in our society over the sudden rise of Bitcoin has acted as shock to many who refused to hear instructions or even control their emotions while holding BTC due to what I called stomach infrastructure as they cried for hunger and forget the future.

The lack of patience and emotional is what lead some people’s to sell their Bitcoin instead of them to continue holding it, and can you imagine that those that’s sell their own before BTC raise up there been holding it for long periods of time; but the lack of patience has pushed them to sell there BTC in a low price: and now it has be regretted for them.

I will not support the motion that is because of hunger that’s why a lot of people’s sold their BTC during low price, is just there wish and what their decisions made is what they follow up. So in this case I won’t said that the hunger is the main reason why some people’s sold their Bitcoins.

Bro I understand say you are a big fan of Bitcoin, but no be only you be fan here, almost everyone here na big fan of Bitcoin, but I wan ask  you questions, hunger don catch you before? I mean that one wey you no even know where ur next meal dy come from, if you done be in that kind of situation before, you no go even talk this kind thing, because in the history of Nigeria, no time in our history wey the economic situation in the country don dy like this.

Secondly, na only hunger fit make you visit people wey you on ur own no go ever visit on a normal day, so tell me why you go choose to be a beggar when you get money somewhere?

I know say e sound ugly for ear, but the reality in our country today is that, if you no get a good source of income, bro you no go fit hold tight as you dy talk, because na through that wages/salary you go remove emergency funds, feeding, clothing and other bills wey we need to pay for survival, so in essence of wetin I dy talk is that, bro as a Nigerian, e no dy easy to hold very strong  if you no get good source of income because the economic situation in the country fit force ur hand to sell when you no plan to sell.

This is not about being a big fan of bitcoin; I was just throwing an idea out there on how we should go about our bitcoin investment so that we will not end up investing in bitcoin in such a way it will stop us from solving our daily expenses, which might get us off the game, partially or permanently. If you know you don't have discretionary income, don't force yourself to invest in bitcoin because you will fail along the line and sell your bitcoin even though you are at a loss to survive. Before you invest in bitcoin, make sure you have a discretionary income that will allow you to freely invest in bitcoin so that you will not depend on your bitcoin investment to survive or sell your bitcoin when you are hungry.

To some extent, I no de blame many people that sold their Bitcoin; some of us do sell to cover some needs because na who de alive de hold coin.
Anybody wey fit hold Bitcoin get another means of income wey fit de cover for their needs that’s why dem fit hold for long, but person wey no get any other money to use chop have to sell what they have to survive because the economic situation of this country is something that has getting out of hand.

To others that have the opportunity to hold Bitcoin till that stage, congratulations; and to some that didn’t have the opportunity, they can buy now or wait for small dip or correction then use DCA to buy and hold patiently until another milestone.

[Jaycoinz]

What's done cannot be undone, people sold their BTC years back due to impatience and they also thought that it wouldn't get to this level. But regrets won't put food on your table right now,  you can start working towards investing in Bitcoin when the price decreases. This bull run season has doubled and tripled people's investments, crypto is the future and the nearest future we are going to have a lot for people who would be enriched by Bitcoin. Congrats to everyone who were patient enough to hodl but brace yourself for impact when the dip comes.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

I don't think it's fair to judge people on how they manage their Bitcoin. Realistically, not everyone can sell their Bitcoin at the same time, to be honest, due to the current economic challenges, those without alternative income sources may be forced to their Bitcoin whenever necessary. It's difficult to hold onto Bitcoin when basic needs aren't being met or funds are urgently required.

Well this topic is to Brian stall and to amend any futuristic mistake that can happen within Bitcoin holdler, not a mockery or judgement to those who sold their asset or Bitcoin I know we as individual have perception in understanding certain issue, it may appear as judge depending the angle you view it but it's not based on my angle of view. All argument and idea is extremely educating one thing to certain argument is that it educate peoples as certain facts which seem hidden may be revealed.

You don't have to blame or regret your actions if you sell in bearish market. Shit happens you might not tell why they sold their bitcoin.  It could be to sort out live personal issues but if you sell it out of emotions or fear than you have to cry well. Because if you have knowledge of bitcoin you should knw that bitcoin wil always bounce back no matter the dip. So if you're still investing with fear of diping than you have no business in bitcoin investment.

That's why is essential to have knowledge of bitcoin after investing in it know how its works. So you won't be painicing in any situation. Bitcoin is a long time investment that's why you don't have to use money you want to use for business to invest in it. Use spare money or ur life savings knowing that you won't touch it in a short time. Than you are ready to go.

Before going into am investment like Bitcoin that requires long-term and patience, I think the investor is supposed to have a reserve fund that would help in times of emergency situations, instead of tempering with your portfolio when it's not due, an investor can only sell some portions of their asset when they've invested for a full circle and more, anything less than that is against Bitcoin investment agenda and would definitely lead to regrets.

 Also, as an investor you don't invest on Bitcoin with emotions cause it always leads to panic sell when price falls, you ought to kill your fears and trust in the process, trust that volatility is not a problem to investing on it and the price would definitely rise again after it drops, all you just need to do is to continue buying and holding for a longer period.

Mate I understand that situation can make people sell their Bitcoin but this situations can be prepared for,as a matter of fact Bitcoin is a futuristic investment as such a good investor should be prepared to overcome whatever happens in his or her way when trying to accomplish their set Bitcoin goal in the future, emergency fusnd which can also be called reserve funds should be available for any investor that wants to propel to the future of Bitcoin investment, though it's a personal decision for anyone to sell whenever they like after all it's a personal thing and every burden, lost or even profit should be a personal thing too but it would have been better for any investor to start well so that he or she will not rely on his Bitcoin holdings for solving unexpected personal or family problems.

DCA method can also help an individual investor to this effect, as an investor using this method you can invest with what you can continuously sustain without  pressure or panic and have some funds left to do other things without having the mindset to sell prematurely, that's why this method is called a very efficient method of accumulating Bitcoin, though sometimes people act based on the fact that they lack the basic knowledge to understand the concept of Bitcoin as a long-term investment that's why they find it difficult to scale in the investment.

Normally hungry is not supposed to make any one sell his or her Bitcoin asset, we are expected to invest only an amount will be comfortable with after taken care of our basic needs the left over cash or disposable income is what we are meant to invest, perhaps investing in Bitcoin has a lot to do with having a stable income flow which will enable you not to sell your Bitcoin asset to take care of your living expenses, secondly not being able to completely believe in the potentials Bitcoin holds which is ignorant and indecisiveness is another reason why a lot of people could sold their Bitcoin even when they are supposed to be adding more to the one they already have.

[Su-asa]

Before you get yourself involved in crypto you must be very patient and disciplined, a lot of people missed out on benefiting from BTC due to impatience. I remember when BTC was lower than 40 thousand dollars, a lot of people were skeptical about hodling. They thought it was overhyped and it won't increase in value overtime so they sold. Now BTC is way above 90k and it even exceeded 102k this year, 2025 might also be another opportunity for hodlers to earn more. You can't blame anyone but yourself if you were not patient enough, but you can continue to live in regret, make a move and find something else to invest in.

[Baki202]

Anyone can buy bitcoin, but not everyone has the capacity to invest for the long term, because everyone has problems, and when you don't have any other options, you will most likely sell to address your troubles. Because if you invest in bitcoin and have a problem to solve, you can simply leave the coin and look for another alternative to solve the problem. If you don't have another option, you can sell and resolve the problem because bitcoin is volatile, and even if you sell now, the price will undoubtedly rise again because you can predict the market. Op I don't think people who sold their coins before the bull run would be sorry because some of them fulfilled their goals and sold them out. And some will sell it for personal reasons, anybody invests to make a profit in order to solve a problem, and you are stating that some people are regretting selling their bitcoin before the bull run when they utilized the money to fix their problems, how can they regret that.

Na true you talks plenty people get intrest everybody wan buy bitcoin buy them no fit hold and once they buy the next thing them done they sell and we know say the thing no easy to hood but by the time everybody hold there ground and them no sell then everybody go enjoy the outcome make we try they encourage our self so that we no go get issues and the more we hold the more we they see prosperity if you look this matter of bitcoin they have almost the same pattern with farm the moment you plant then you go wait make he grow produce then after you go start they think on how to harvest, na so bitcoin suppose be the moment everyone invest na to Wait make the things ripe then harvest.

People wey don't sell there eyes done Clearn and next time them go wait make the price increase and when they see say people they sell then they go fit think wether make them sell or not and na why them they tell people to get job before them invest so that you no go they think about money to use solve some problem because one of the major problem people they sell there bitcoin no pass money matter but no wey people they enjoy the profit them done sell already.

[Tungbulu]

I’ll say 100% ignorance because you no fit tell me say if them know wetin them Dey do, say them go consider to sell their BTC because of wetin, Hunger? That’s rubbish nah. My people talk say, person wey don ready for fight must also ready to dodge punch at anytime, you get it? If you say you wan enter into Bitcoin HODLing, the. You no go tell me say you no know say you supposed get emergency funds wey supposed carry the weight of any financial pressure or subsequent emergencies, as well as normal float funds wey suppose take care of your stomach infrastructure.

The problem be say many investors no dey prepare well before them start to accumulate BTC, so the thing dey make them, any small thing, them don reason to sell their BTC to take sort their financial needs, but when you dey updated, you go know the importance of all these things, we’ll except you no even plan to HODL your BTC for the long term at all.

Let your idea count.

The discussion on various threads on the forum to keep Bitcoin holding is a regular topic. For people in my country, holding Bitcoin (at the individual level) is more advanced than before and I am a potential pioneer in holding it. It is a valuable asset and for this you are tempted to accumulate Bitcoin from proper review and investment level and continuous alternative income sources and discretionary income. The impact of the US election and the increase in price has reached another unique high and its impact is that the market situation is very much in favor of investors and the possibility of more aggressive future. However, if you do not consider the impact of the US election, the pace of Bitcoin's price increase has been relatively upward. Many threads were discussed on the forum with speculation about $100k long ago and investors are trying to express their opinions at the same time.

You should put pressure on yourself to accumulate Bitcoin and you should have the mental focus to make the potential holdings. Don't regret selling your past holdings and instead strive to build for the future and adopt DCA strategy which is for wealth growth. If you are currently poor but are busy maintaining your family with limited income, any amount of savings (per week/per month) is a sure financial backup for future financial stability/retirement.

I agreed with you because for you to have a good investment on Bitcoin you must discipline yourself very much in such that you will not put your family problem on Bitcoin because if you do you will end up in selling your Bitcoin when the price is low and  you will regret selling it at lowest price. To avoid regretting from selling your Bitcoin discipline yourself from sell sell .

I think what will make an investor to cry after selling off their Bitcoin holding is if they didn't use the money sold out well because e dey very painful say person go sell en Bitcoin investment come go use the money do nonsense I mean something wey no get meaning or something wey no go bring more profit. And any investor wey utilize en money well after selling off their Bitcoin investment or holding no go cry for anything even though say Bitcoin rise because en don use the money achieve small thing wey en fit use chase other things too. The country hard ah no go lie you but e dey wrong for person to sell off en Bitcoin come go useless am all in the name of show off or enjoyment some investors are always fun of doing this. So the answer to your question be say to some point we go blame the country for making everything hard and we go also blame that investor wey no utilize the money well after selling.
