Do you regret investing in bitcoin?

[DPHOR]

Those who feels this way are people who do not have indepth knowledge and understanding towards Bitcoin that is why whenever they sees price dropping below their entry points you see them regretting for entering the market at that particular time. But hey Man! Is not like that and investment doesn't obey your emotional states, what you must know is that when doing investment it is assumed that the money is being lend out to someone on a specific duration of time, let say you could take it for 1 year or even 5 years time. The reason I said 5 years time is that you would be able to at least experience 1 Bitcoin cycle which could likely push the price of Bitcoin above your entry points and to record a more profits from your investment.

People will regret it if the price drops below the price they bought their Bitcoin at later. It is normal for them as They have little idea about the volatility of the price of Bitcoin. But those who have a proper understanding of knowledge  that Bitcoin can drop below 30% or 40% in the future, but there is nothing to panic about that. This is a common thing in Bitcoin. After investing in Bitcoin, everyone starts thinking that its price will only increase. But in reality, this does not happen. However, as you said, if you invest in Bitcoin for a long time or hold it, there is a high possibility of getting profit. But due to the volatility of the price over time, many people cannot remain mentally stable. Just as they start regretting when the price drops, even if the price increases, they become overly enthusiastic and decide to sell in the short term. As a result, they lose the possibility of getting much more profit in the long term than at present. So people with this type of thinking are basically in a trading mindset. For them, success in Bitcoin is rarely observed.

Let’s be real for a second..The market can be a massive pain in the ass. There is a specific kind of mental exhaustion that comes from watching Bitcoin dance at a price significantly lower than where you bought in. It’s not just the loss of money it’s the loss of time. When weeks turn into months, and months turn into a year of underwater prices.. many peoples narrative starts to shift from I’m a bitcoin investor   to Did I just make a huge mistake?lol..

We see people talk about HODL like it’s a badge of honor, but they don't tells you how heavy those hands feel when price goes down. Most investors can handle a quick crash. What they can’t handle is a price that refuses to move. Seeing your capital less than what you had invested and be relaxed, while the world tells you to hold, takes a level of psychological grit that 95% of people simply don't possess.


The feeling of regret is almost inevitable. You look back at the market from last year and it looks so obvious. You begin to tell you self, If I had just sold at the peak, I’d be sitting on a lot of profits,  I couldd have bought back in now and doubled my stack.lol but who would have known?Nobody can fully predict the market. Last year, the momentum was so strong it made everyone believe the Up Only trend was not coming to an end soon. We got blinded by the green candles...

The painful correction,the boring, frustrating phase where the price stays low and the regret of I wish i had sold.. If you’re feeling like you made a mistake of not selling because the conditions are unfavorablle, you’re likely just experiencing the exhaustion phase of the cycle. Everyone does. No one is actually happy right now that bitcoin price seems not to be returning to the upside soon. But history shows that the market doesn't care about our if I had only known stories.. It only rewards the few who have the courage to stay the course when the pain in the ass factor is at its peak..

I accepted that the toughest part of Bitcoin investment is not usually the crash aspect itself but the long periods of uncertainty that follows it. When the price keeps on deminshing or stays below your entry point for months , some investors begin to panicked and questions their decisions and lose their confidence in their strategy.
That is why investing in only with your descretionary income is very vital , if an investor uses money that may be needed in short term, the paneking becomes much higher during a prolonged downturn. Instead of viewing Bitcoin as a long term asset, it becomes focused on the daily price movements and more likely to sell fear and emotions.

The fact still remains that nobody consistently predicts higher and the lower, looking back , selling at the top always looks very obvious, but in real time the market is driven by emotion and some people will actually want it to continue.
What separate successful long-term Bitcoin investors from the rest of them is just the market timing but yet the ability to remain focused and more disciplined when market becomes negative.

Bitcoin is the only investment despite not hitting my target yet believe no other investment can be assurance coverage like Bitcoin all investor need is patient and perseverance of the. Market, for those that lack the courage of holding long term in the system, understanding deep in Bitcoin wave out what seem regret before any investor what many regret if there is any is lacking what Bitcoin investment is all about since is not quick to get rich scheme such mindset of getting rich within shorter time frame will definitely leads to regret. I have registered my mind to keeping accumulating and also diversifying with other engament that deprived me if putting all my load or financial needs in the investment which protect me from panicking in the investment and Free from any feeling of regret in any market situation until I hit target towards the investment in Bitcoin.

That's how how Bitcoin investment works, for one person may not work for another and so many individuals are too quick to panic when they don't see don't see in instance results the period the market doesn't move the way they expect they jumped to sell without understanding that Bitcoin investment so if anyone going into crytop should already know that discipline and patience is a big part of the  early investors understand this from starting profits is never guarantee and anything can happen at any moment most persons lose opportunity simply because they couldn't remain patients for long enough.

If you understand bitcoin and how it works you won’t be bothered of market conditions always . You will be so compose as you accumulate and hold your bitcoin because you are already aware of the risk and the potential it possesses. Bitcoin has its own risk due to price volatility and stuff but still is far better and easier to control compare to the other digital currencies, Bitcoin is owned by no one but is for everyone which is a real community driven token .

I agree with you, when a person understands Bitcoin properly, then he can hold Bitcoin for a long time with great confidence, despite the volatility of Bitcoin, he can hold Bitcoin in a very stable manner. That is why it is important to understand Bitcoin, if you understand Bitcoin, the journey of holding Bitcoin for a long time becomes very easy. But at the end of the day, we have to understand that in the end, Bitcoin can never bring us success for sure, because the risk of Bitcoin's uncertainty always remains, and therefore the most important thing is to learn, understand and make decisions according to your own ability before investing.

The reason why someone see holding as big takes is because their mind is on how to make quick money.

That’s the problem with Nigeria youths,they don’t have the patient to hold an asset for the long term.That’s why they’re easily deceived by Ponzi scheme,because those Ponzi scheme out there are always willing to entice their followers with unrealistic returns,and the unrealistic returns are so catchy that’s why those set of individuals are always moved to invest for the purpose of making quick money in a short period of time.In my own opinion,I have no regret in investing in bitcoin and I would keep accumulating bitcoin as long as I’m hoping for a positive future about bitcoin.

not Nigerians youths only they fall for those Ponzi schemes o the only reason why e rampant for Nigeria na the popular of the young people in ratio to the amount of unemployed young people which are far more than any population is one major reason why Nigeria youths are much but it does not mean that it is only Nigerian youths who are in it or better still it does not mean that the Nigerian are the majority, it is just a factor.

Our Nigerian youth are now realizing that Ponzi schemes were a kind of trap. Due to the unemployment problem the youth believed in Ponzi schemes to get high profits in a short time but most citizens have been able to realize that they were frauds.

Most of them are leaning towards Bitcoin because accumulation Bitcoin regularly through the DCA method will make it easier to build Bitcoin holdings in the future. The Nigerian youth have a psychological consciousness of improving their condition through hard work, so they are focusing more on accumulation Bitcoin through the DCA method through discretionary income from hard earned funds. Many people I know are regularly accumulating Bitcoin in this method.

The more we get to understands bitcoin and get to experience more about bitcoin the more the journey becomes much easier  for us. Without having deep knowledge of bitcoin we can invest in bitcoin and make it out successful but just under probability because the success in bitcoin isn’t guaranteed at all. Even with deep knowledge and understanding of bitcoin we can still end up not making it out profitable but the probability of our success is absolutely higher than that of no knowledge at all. But both are good to go. 

But the most important thing is that for that facts that we know that the success isn’t guaranteed then we should always invest with caution and invest with what we can afford to loss

Those who have more knowledge about Bitcoin find it easi to hold Bitcoin in the long term because their long-term confidence has made the journey of Bitcoin much easily. It is true that making money through investment cannot be guaranteed because Bitcoin is very volatile but if we invest consistently with a long-term plan and wait for good times without getting disappointed during volatility with confidence then the possibility of losing money is relatively reduced and our valuable money can be protected from inflation as well as the possibility of making money increases. However your awareness and consistency and long-term planning and patience can gradually lead you to success.

[Byebyebtc]

In an investment like Bitcoin, and probably almost all investment available, emotional swings will always be part of it.

Before you invest in Bitcoin, there will always be warnings of volatility and requirement of patience. So you will only regret if you ignore these facts.

As one that has been into Bitcoin investment, I see it as a journey and not survival, and I expect every other real investors to feel similar as well, of not you should work on your self

Having a good understanding of bitcoin investment is very crucial in holding bitcoin for a long term .  Bitcoin investment is best suitable for long term investment and anyone that is coming into bitcoin with the mindset of making quick profit don't really understand what they are doing because it very risky to trade bitcoin. Although, investing in bitcoin for a long term isn't a guarantee of successful returns but long term investment is more rewarding when compared to short term holding which is same as trading bitcoin.

It's not really easy to either trade or invest in trading overall and one very important thing a trader should know and make peace with, is the volatility of bitcoin.

It the most stable coin in the market although it has high volatility than others it's stable movements respecting support and resistance level gives you more profit with a good strategy and adequate knowledge, I love bitcoin personally because it is stable and I do not regret in investing in bitcoin world.

I disagree with you there. Bitcoin is not the most stable and it is definitely not stable at all. You also said Bitcoin is volatile and you said it is stable. Are you not contradicting yourself? In as we love Bitcoin. We should know that not everything is rosy.

 There are ups and downs and times where you really will doubt yourself into investing in Bitcoin. Everyone claiming to be commando when it comes to holding Bitcoin. But they won't tell you the sorrow they pass through while holding. Let's be guided.

Bitcoin investment is easier than trading. You need to be aware of the volatility of Bitcoin price which is very risky for trading. Bitcoin price history can tempt you to make high profits.
Use DCA method to accumulate Bitcoin and if you are a new investor do it through discretionary income and learn more about Bitcoin. You need to learn more about Bitcoin and do DCA regularly during this period.

You said Bitcoin is stable but your idea is not fair Bitcoin is the most volatile in terms of value and is the best investment vehicle for long term investors because if you accumulate Bitcoin regularly during price volatility, it can build up holdings in the future and provide expected return.

how can you say that a coin that has high volatility is a stable coin . That is not right man. Bitcoin is not stable because the price isn't stable.  The price of bitcoin usually fluntctuates by sometimes making a high upward movement and the price also goes down and dip.  A stablecoin have fixed value like USDt , and bitcoin's value come from demand and supply, and since person are always buying and investing and also trading bitcoin, that makes bitcoin not to be stable like usdt.

I believe what you want to say is that bitcoin's is reliable over other cryptocurrencies, and I believe that to be true thing.  But because bitcoin is reliable does not make it stable.

[AmaGold70]

I have never regretted investing in bitcoin, the reason is that , I have learned about how bitcoin reward investors, and have learned more as a member of this forum. Of a truth, if you don't have an in-depth knowledge of bitcoin, bear market can throw you off balance more especially as a newbie, but bitcoin has been in the digital market for more than a decade, and their are investors who have not sold their Bitcoin asset since they invested in bitcoin, and the value of their bitcoin portfolio is increasing with time.
We know that bitcoin reward investors who invest for long term purpose, but if you are impatient with your bitcoin investment, you will definitely be at loss or even take the wrong decision.

[Thomas scholes]

People who actually invested at the early stage made larger profits, People who joined at peak moment also made some profit  and while some people regret investing due to crashes in price and rates..
Well for me, I haven't lost much on investing in bitcoin, I have also gained knowledge on how bitcoin works, how volatile it can be and also learning how to be patient when investing in bitcoin.

While the price is down now I will never regret investing in Bitcoin because we seems to forget that d price down is a buying opportunity which will give us more token at lower amount of cash and with a potential up side massive gains, for me I see down time as opportunity to buy more because am not in hurry to cash out from Bitcoin right now, so I do my thing while I wait for the market to fall in place of my favor

This is the reality that this can happen to all investors. You need to make a realistic decision based on the risk of psychological emotions that arise during the price fluctuations in the Bitcoin market. If you are a new investor and are seeking advice from someone about Bitcoin. A wise investor will initially inform you about the risks of Bitcoin but you may have been tempted to invest in the entice of high profits. The reality is that you need to be disciplined when it comes to accumulation Bitcoin and building a decent long term holding. Having doubts in investing will not get you very far so consider your decision as the best and accumulate Bitcoin regularly. Intelligent investors never regret investing in Bitcoin because they do DCA for the long term.
