The Difference Between Being Early and Being Lucky.

[okorieemmanuel]

There is one say and believe of some that the first shall be the last and the last shall become first , it's a clear definition of this early and been lucky, I see it as a principle that work on any investment that patient is lacking, you can be early and failed to exercise patient and one with patients who was lately introduce become the lucky one to achieve what you that has be there could not, in this market it occasionally happen that most investor at the time of entering the market has opportunity of buying the bottom when it's extremely dip.

Early and lucky, the both have different contexts, early birds are exclusively not the same with those who were lucky to invest and held for a longer duration... Many buyers who bought btc at a peanut price couldn't hold past 1k ATH before selling for profit, some who bought at this exact same price and held btc till it got to 100k made more profits than the early birds who sold quickly for fast profits. However, this is only measured on the basis of bitcoin investments as we can't tell generally how the early sellers made use of the fiats they got off bitcoin when they left, they're multiple businesses in the world that makes people billionaires too.

You are right in your respective remarks. Let me simply add a little tune to this melody.
  To be Early in making Bitcoin purchase investment could be luck if you simply bought it and you probably didn't know what were doing. You make wake up the next day to discover that it's value have risen significantly.
It all about discipline. If you don't reinvest after being Lucky, you may end up worse than before even though you were lucky. Hence, luck have it's downside of lack of information. In all context, being early to buy Bitcoin in any low value is definitely am opportunity . Millionaires are not built in a day . It was built over time.

Therefore, what separated those who were merely early from those who ultimately benefited from bitcoin is conviction and patient imo, because it is easy for anyone to buy an asset when nobody is paying attention to it, but it is much harder to hold it through market crashes, negative media coverage, government criticism and years of uncertainty. Feel free to give your two cents on this discussion.

Actually this matter of being lucky and beaing early has been said often times and has been deliberate. I guess in Bitcoin investment there is nothing like being lucky. It's just being persistent, patient, focus till such person achieve his goal. It just  like two people working or striving for thesame position at same velocity and the other was discouraged, maybe as a result of tiredness or didn't believe on himself thereby accepting defeat early enough while the other continues and won. So if this guy become patient and win the race,  The other guy who gave up will say it is luck that made his coleque to win. Meanwhile it was the hardwork and effort of the other to win. one thing I observed in this life is that what other can't achieve and you did achieve it, it becomes luck.

In terms of profits, it's likely true that those who bought early when the price was still low will have more Bitcoin now as long as they never sell. Even those who bought Bitcoin when the price was still quite low have become billionaires. That's another matter that very few people are fortunate enough to have because most people today no longer think about who started early but rather how they consistently strive to buy, rather than just waiting for the right time.

Seeing opportunities and chances will lead someone to success. Sometimes, even quick gains without consistent persistence won't lead to financial success. When people begin to understand investing, they need to think about asset growth, no longer about surviving a market crisis, negative news, or government policies regarding the asset.

I do not really see any reason why people should be regretting about their actions today for having to sell their bitcoin back then. Even if it was today thing you could have seen people who would have dump massively due to the profit they have seen, There are people who invested into bitcoin the initial stage when the price was around 1$ and immediately it hit 10$ they took quick profits without know the purpose of bitcoin where they are only seeing the instant profits then without studying the future of bitcoin to where it would end up reaching. True if it was today thing you could still see people who are that ignorant of themselves without taking that bold move to hold back their bitcoin. Well, I wouldn't have to apportion blame to anyone who now regretting for losing for big time or dump their bitcoin at cheap price.

The time already passed so you don't have to regret not enter in early but you still have more chances to enter anytime and if your reason is investing, you can enter whenever you are ready and you can determine the time.

Those early not many could hodl their Bitcoin because they never though that Bitcoin can increase so high and many of them sold when the price increase for a little. But we can't deny that those who enter early are lucky because they can buy as many as they can but not many can resist till this day.

You don't have to delay anymore and decide it before you really regret and your time is almost up. If you deciding now to invest in Bitcoin, you are one of the lucky person as many people don't know Bitcoin.

Focus on yourself and accumulate Bitcoin and no need to think much about others.

Efforts and awareness mingles with the helpful factors that determines success for both kind of investors, James Howell is a good IT guy who was not aware of his mistake of trashing a hard drive containing the private keys to about 8,000 btc he owned, until the price breached $1000 per coin few months later. This error he fights all day to regret, had bitcoin price gone to zero would he go for this decades of requests in court to search the landfill for the trashed hard drive? Awareness and attention to every decision we make in life helps financial growth, all the people beating up their peace of mind for losing access to their bitcoin weren't aware of what it'll become decades later.
