Wanna offer any more details? Maybe we can learn a thing or two from your experience. Did you sell immediately? Was it for any emergency or just you thought you were done with taking profits?

[DeeppRockk]

Look, it’s easy to kick yourself over what could’ve been, but hindsight is always 20/20. The reality is, nobody knew BTC would hit these levels.

That’s the game - you make decisions with the info you have at the time.

The OP wasnt the only one who sold Bitcoin years ago thinking it had topped out and
wasnt going higher, or had already made big profit, maybe doubled his money or something.

In the early days Bitcoin was still kind of unproven and big values like $100,000 was
inconceivable by the majority of HODLers.

Lots of sayings come to mind:

no point crying over spilled milk

if i could turn back time

if my uncle had a penis, he would be my auntie

Best approach is to start stacking again and not focus on the past.

[Outhue]

Sorry man, many people had good numbers of BTC in the past and something went wrong, what happened to your Bitcoin? Stolen from you or you spent them all? Someone I knew had 44 BTC and he sold them all, too early at the time in 2018, today he is also regretting his decision.

You can't change the hands of time, and there is no time machine anywhere that you can use to go back in time, stop beating yourself about something that you can't change, I hope you have learnt one or two from your decision, what I have learnt from people like you is that no matter what, do not sell everything you have, always leave some numbers behind, because you can never know what will happen tomorrow.

[Ruttoshi]

Put your past behind you and move on, bitcoin is still available for you to accumulate as many as you can before it's too late for you and you regret the second time when bitcoin price will be above $500k. You need to learn from your past and make corrections so that you will be happy in future.

You ain't the only one in this shoes, there are a lot of OGs that thought they have gotten the best from bitcoin and sold too many coins too soon and became a low coiner or even a no coiner. If you're a no coiner  it's better to start accumulating because it's better to be a low coiner than a no coiner

[Nathrixxx]

Many have been affected by this same experience, that they never knew bitcoin could get to this extent by now, they had the earlier opportunity of having it, but never hold because of some reasons we cannot even predict about them, while today is another opportunity for us to invest and hold, a decade from now could also make a huge difference for those who could take this advantage to secure the future.

It depends on how the pattern will be created with the amount of Bitcoin owned. If it were me, I would probably sell a few percent of the total 100% to meet my basic needs. Another percentage would be used for something productive, and the rest would remain as investment assets.
This is not related to the equivalent amount of fiat money, but it is related to achieving financial freedom.
I mention this because I just shared this with one of my government employees who happened to be discussing their investment assets, and I explained in detail what I believe are good alternatives to consider.

You have this mindset because you have now seen Bitcoin do wonders with its value, but you wouldn't say the same thing if it were 2013 and you have 400 Bitcoins, each being worth more than a thousand dollars at the end of the year, because you can't see the future, and you will think that if you don't sell right now, your coins are going to lose value, and obviously, you wouldn't want to see your 40 grand going back to 20 grand and even lower, so you will sell immediately and take as much profit as you are getting at that exact moment. So the reason why you are saying that you would only sell a portion is that we are already in the future and Bitcoin have shown its full potential already, but things were different back then.

People who say such things should consider this point before saying anything. Every single person who had a lot of bitcoins in the early days and sold them all were not wrong for doing so because they didn't know what the future beholds, and what they did was the demand of the situation, and I think any of us would do the same, we are saying these things now, but we wouldn't have the same mindset at that time.

The times got different. We got different.

But BTC is still rocking, true to that

haha hindsight really hits hard. A lot of us have that if only I held story with BTC back then no one really knew how crazy it would get. Easy to say now painful to think about

[Bd officer]

Honestly, I have seen many more stories like this, many people had a lot of Bitcoin in the past but they sold it and now they are regretting it. Because in the past no one thought that Bitcoin would be worth $100k. And no one will hold Bitcoin forever, maybe everyone will sell their holdings at some point. So thinking about your past will not help, only regret, so forget the past. You should focus on the future, because currently Bitcoin is worth $90k, maybe in the future it can be $1 million, so if you don't invest in the present, you will regret it again in the future.

That's where my advantage lies, in knowing Bitcoin not when it was just launched to the public. Should I complain about Bitcoin's current price being at its last ATH? The answer is no. Even if I had been with Bitcoin in the year when it was trading at under $1K, I can't guess what my attitude would have been.
Every phase has its own experiences that must be accepted as reality. You might not say the same thing if you were in 2013.

Don't compare everyone's experiences because everyone has their own story. People will say it's a car because they know its function. For those who don't know the function of a car, they might not say it's a car.

We need to forget the regrets - focus on what we can control now.

The biggest mistake I’ve seen is dwelling on missed opportunities.

If you’re still thinking about selling early, you’re already behind. Start stacking sats today, even if it’s just $10 a week. Time in the market beats timing the market every time.

The gist is: stop overthinking and just get in.

eh. 

It hurts more to see folks who have bought a lot earlier and then sold it immediately. Well, I did held a few in the past and have to sell it for a purpose. I am in half of it, regret and thankful because it helped me during that situation when there is no other people and assets that I can come to ask for help but only Bitcoin. But at the same time, it's regretful because if I can keep that until now obviously it's more profitable.

[BABY SHOES]

Forget it... we had the good old days of having a lot of bitcoin at low prices and that guy should still be called OG.

They sold a lot of bitcoins back then and still enjoyed it, right? Actually this is nothing to regret because now the price is $90,000 15 years later who is $1,000,000.

The principle is, HODL from now on.

You did it for a reason, not because you didn't want to hodl further due to.. I even don't know losing trust in BTC.

So you may regret it, but you did it by choice and rationally, so it's alright.

[Agbamoni]

Regret wont change anything now. What can change is the future, based on what you do in the present. If I were you, I'd stay consistent in accumulating bitcoin, and this time, I wont sell any fraction for anything.

You are not the only one who keeps reminiscingabout how they had many bitcoins but can't access their wallets; some sold the bitcoins at the very early stage.

[liasbaa]

You just created a puzzle with a few words. Perhaps you sold Bitcoin at a low price and are surprised by its current high price. No one imagined that Bitcoin would increase in value this much even at the time of the development of this asset or even a few years later, as at the end of 2017, Bitcoin value increased by $17k and at about the same time the next year, its value was only about $3k. What is surprising and the main thing is that between the alarming rise and fall, a crisis of confidence had arose among investors that time. That period those who analyzed Bitcoin and were able to understand its intrinsic value were right. Still many investors believe that Bitcoin will cross a million in the future.  Maybe we are not taking his word for it, as many investors withdrew in previous years, now we are standing in their place.

[Nahl]

Indeed when bitcoin prices is so cheap it's easy to spend it and few years ago spend 0.1-0.5 btc for gambling is common and imagined too if i hold it or never spend my bitcoin since that time probably i am a millionare but lets forget about it that many bitcoin users have same mistakes such as you that back years they didn't believe in to bitcoin and decide to sell all of their bitcoin because never thought bitcoin is so massive recently and nothing you can do unless move on and started it from beginning that invest in bitcoin again and i know the current price is very high but it is never too late to being an bitcoin investor because potentially for next few years bitcoin prices will be much higher than the current prices
