Managed to recover what was lost?

[Faisal2202]

I have lost good amount of Bitcoin too, but the truth is I've never made that same quantity of Bitcoin that I have lost, it's easier to move on and learn the mistakes but making that amount back is near impossible, you think I am wrong then answer the question. You don't have to name the figure for security reasons, just yes I have made it all back or no.

I only came to know about its existence in 2018; I never invested. I tried free sites to earn some, I found a browser, I used it, and made a few cents in Bitcoin. I still have them in my wallet since 2018.

Then I left everything, I would not have left if I had known what it is, what it can be, even if I had a slight idea about four year cycle, I would have done something, but I left, then I joined again in 2021. Even at that time, bitcoin was cheap, like, it was trading below $15k once and I did not bought silly me.

Anyway, I am doing it now, at the moment I am stopped for some reasons, but soon I will start, and I have not lost any coin.

BTW that few cents are now a whole 1.14 dollar haha.

How many of you have lost your Bitcoin many years ago and came back stronger only to get to where you left off? Assuming you used to have a BTC or 2 in 2017 and one thing lead to the other you lost them.

You learnt from your mistakes and this is 2026, have you been able to make back all you have lost?

Making back what we've lost in crypto space is most times like easier said than done, when you are close to 2BTC it was because of value and cheaper at the time, to make such amount back in today's world is far more tasking.

We should not go back to recover what we have lost in the past, but we should think more strongly towards the future. I lost a few bitcoins in the past which I never tried to recover. Because I am collecting bitcoins using different strategies, I will not make the same mistake again. So to correct myself and to increase my thinking, I am investing in bitcoin again and again. Currently, my portfolio has grown a lot, so I never think about the past, but I want to come back stronger in the future.

That's a good view on it.

We should only reflect on the past, not make it the part us in the present.

Sure, we need to focus on the presence and forget about what as pass already. Some have be chasing there losses in bitcoin investment and the more you didn't think for your future and focus on the past term, your things won't be going well for you. For me have not lost bitcoin in the past because I don't really know what bitcoin is all about so we're just like new to investing in bitcoin have not lost huge money like others that invest before lost, but the advice is that we should not chase losses and do what is right, we learn from our past so we need to correct it so that we won't repeat the same mistakes. Investors don't chase loses because they know that anything about investment is all about risk so if they lose they won't feel it like others that don't really understand the market.

Selling 1 Bitcoin for just hundreds of dollars, and also around 2 Bitcoins for no more than $20K, it is regretful to remember, but that is what happens when we invest without having a clear goal, or the ability to believe that the investment can even provide greater profits.

You learnt from your mistakes and this is 2026, have you been able to make back all you have lost?

Unfortunately not yet, and it seems that those who sold Bitcoin too early are still unable to recover the amount they sold, the price, financial capacity and also the ability to believe that the price of Bitcoin will still rise higher are problems, because I think those who have sold at a low price are also for financial reasons.

Again I want to add that it depends on the coin you lost because not every cryptocurrency can be of consequential lost years after. Some would even be of relief remembering you lost them years ago, that's when you look at how poor their performance currently is. Dumped. But for bitcoin to be specific, it's the only coin I think can be gravely regretted for losing it because even for the price of today those that have refused to buy would regret it in the next 4 years+.

I have lost bitcoin before but I see it as part of my learning experience. So there are no regrets wishing if I have done this or that, because everyone commits mistakes especially when we are still in the stage of doubting bitcoin due to government attacks, and pressure from those who keep saying that bitcoin is a big scam.

With that loss, now I learned my lesson. Bitcoin is bitcoin, and it will stay relevant and valuable for those who have faith in it, but for those until now who haven't realized the real value of bitcoin, they will continue to lost the opportunity to gain bitcoin.

I fail to recover on what I lost, but that is not important anymore, no need to chase that loss. I will definitely make a good amount in the future if I stick with DCA regularly, and might even exceed the amount if the market allows.

Totally right.

As an example, I got some ZETA coins a while ago on an exchange simply by answering some questions, and after that - dumped that 5 or 10 of $ on a go because I didn't see much of the potential in it.

Now, as far as I know - it's dumped into oblivion, and I've got myself an extra coffee

I think the Op clearly mentioned Bitcoin as a reference for lost coins, so perhaps we can respond to this. There are many coins lost in the market because they have no resale value and thus are indirectly abandoned by everyone. But perhaps the Op didn't intend to discuss this issue as this is more about bitcoins lost in the past based on specific uses by them or others. The same thing happens to us because perhaps in recent years we sold those bitcoins at a much lower price and when we calculate the amount we sold then and bought them now, it will definitely reduce the amount we received.

This shows that the Bitcoin we lost in previous years has significantly increased in value, both in terms of the profit we made when selling it and the amount we bought back with the same profit. If we could have the opportunity again, no one would sell it, but this serves as an important lesson for us to be more selective in our future use of Bitcoin which ultimately leads to financial freedom.

First of all, not everyone of us had this lost experience of the past, because when it was of no value, majority of us are yet to join and come onboard, but within the little time spent together, we still have more to say and discover about the market, only if ware able and ready to take advantage of investing to save the future and make profits by holding, because bitcoin is always promising about the future.

If an investor misses 2016, it will definitely not be easy for him to get that time back. He may get the opportunity to own Bitcoin but it will definitely be difficult to get it now as much as he had the ability at that time. At that time, an individual would have had the opportunity to buy some Bitcoin but now it is definitely difficult for an ordinary investor to get it. In the first quarter of 2016, the price of each Bitcoin was approximately $400, from there in 2026 it has come to about $78,500. Therefore, from my perspective, I can definitely say that those who made mistakes at that time may have the opportunity to buy Bitcoin but it may never be possible to find that price again.

Bitcoin is a currency that gives hope to the people, and it secures wealth for the future. With the current price of bitcoin right now, it could be considered a perfect time to buy it cheap, while some people will be scared to get into the market, as they don’t want to lose the little money they are accumulating, but nothing is without risk, and now we have the advantage of knowing how the market moves since information people didn’t have before is now at our fingertips.

I couldn't invest at that time of 2018, it was hard and I opted for free mining platforms that some called faucets, it was going on for a while and slowly those platforms started to die one after the other.

Many people are surely not going to earn what they lost back and its better if they move on because mistakes are sometimes impossible to avoid, they happen so that we can get better, there is no point looking back to what you have lost.
