The confidence of the present bitcoin investors.

[Grace333]

Honestly, their is more confidence in the present investors than those of the early investors. Initially, when Bitcoin was in it's young age, only few persons invested in bitcoin, and among the few that invested in bitcoin, not all of those few investors believed in Bitcoin which some of them to sell their bitcoin asset very early.

Imagine Laszlo buying just two pizzas for $10000BTC , and this amount of bitcoin is worth millions of dollars today, and some others who sold their bitcoin at early stage just to pay bills. All these things happened because they never expected Bitcoin would stand the text of time.

Today, we are so confident about bitcoin, and we have seen how far bitcoin has gone couple with the increase in price, we now know that Bitcoin is a store of value, and we can create wealth with it, this conviction is the reason why investors today have placed so much trust on Bitcoin which many early investors never had making them to sell good number of their Bitcoin asset for small money, and bill payment.

Another reason why early investors never had so much confidence in Bitcoin is because, in the early days of bitcoin, it experiences very huge crash, and was mostly used for transactions instead of seeing Bitcoin as an asset for investment, but today the mentality has really changed, and many Bitcoin investors are now willing to buy, and hodl for long term purpose, and investment.

You are wrong about your idea of the early Bitcoin enthusiasts. Without their efforts bitcoin be what it is today and besides bitcoin wasn't created as an asset for investment, it's initial purpose was to bridge the gap between a seller and a buyer so they don't have to contact a third party for their transaction. Even Satoshi wouldn't have thought bitcoin would become this expensive. However you can't blame them for not thinking bitcoin can become a good store of value that would be worth tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Anybody Wey understand times and circumstances supposed know say Laszlo Bitcoin Wey e buy na to show the world say them fit actually use Bitcoin take buy or sell something. In othe word his action na one of the bed/foundation of the Bitcoin Wey we dey use today. So we no go fit compare our engagement with Bitcoin and their own because all of us approach Bitcoin with different perspective. Majority of the current use of Bitcoin na to make profit but those guys been dey try make the world dey interested in Bitcoin, so I respect them.

We often use hindsight to assume things about early Bitcoiners that we don't actually know. Today, hearing about a $10,000 BTC pizza seems obviously ridiculous, because we know today's Bitcoin price. But did Laszlo in 2010 know the price in 2026? Absolutely not. And back then, the market value of 10,000 BTC wasn't what it is today. It's not fair to call Laszlo stupid just because he bought a pizza with 10,000 BTC, because at that time, Bitcoin had almost no established market price and that amount was practically used as the exchange rate for pizzas at the time of that transaction. Early investors faced a lot of uncertainty, but the potential upside was also large. Today's investors have a lot more evidence about Bitcoin, the investment thesis is much more established, but that doesn't mean that early holders were confidence less. Those who dared to invest in Bitcoin at that time were more confident than those who are investing in Bitcoin today.

Honestly, their is more confidence in the present investors than those of the early investors. Initially, when Bitcoin was in it's young age, only few persons invested in bitcoin, and among the few that invested in bitcoin, not all of those few investors believed in Bitcoin which some of them to sell their bitcoin asset very early.

Most of the people that sell off their assets in the early stages of bitcoin didn’t actually invested their money to buy it, they mined it instead. And it is just similar to when Airdrop was booming in the 2021 era, if you were able to mine a new coin and it was listed and you see it has value wouldn’t you sell? You will sell it of course and that is even when we have seen that crypto can grow and yield much profit. Now put yourself in the shoe if the early adopters, bitcoin was a really new thing and you there’s much uncertainty, you got it almost for free, wouldn’t you sell when you see it value rising?

Imagine Laszlo buying just two pizzas for $10000BTC , and this amount of bitcoin is worth millions of dollars today, and some others who sold their bitcoin at early stage just to pay bills. All these things happened because they never expected bitcoin would stand the text of time.

BTC10000 was the worth of those pizzas at that time and exchanges aren’t that much, so using that amount to buy pizza at that time is pretty reasonable, it’s just like you using BTC1 to buy a car in 2026 and bitcoin eventually gets to $1m, the people at that time when it gets to $1m would still look at you like how you are looking at Laszlo at this time and you on the other side got the value for your money.

Today, we are so confident about bitcoin, and we have seen how far bitcoin has gone couple with the increase in price, we now know that Bitcoin is a store of value, and we can create wealth with it, this conviction is the reason why investors today have placed so much trust on Bitcoin which many early investors never had making them to sell good number of their Bitcoin asset for small money, and bill payment.

Looking at the initial reason why bitcoin was created, the early adopters actually used it for it purposes which is transactional but nowadays most people use it as a store of value instead.

The confidence of the present Bitcoin investors is still the same as other investors that have been investing in Bitcoin for a long time. The main reason why a lot of people that have been investing in Bitcoin for a long time is because they have lots of reasons to be confident in investing in Bitcoin and on Major reason is because of the fact that Bitcoin was at a low price years ago but now and looking at where it was few years ago and where it is today it means that within a few years it has the capacity to increase significantly.

[Samuel47]

The confidence of the present bitcoin investors Present Bitcoin investor confidence relies on long-term conviction over short-term price drops. For example, major corporate holders like Strategy continue aggressive accumulation and refuse to sell core reserves despite market dips, proving strong institutional trust in Bitcoin as a permanent digital asset and store of value like example long term holdings experienced investor ignore sudden price crashes and view them as accumulation phases or institutional action large corporate treasuries keep buying and holding massive amounts of bitcoin or fixed supply trust remains high because bitcoin maximum supply is strictly limited to 21 million coins

[AmaGold70]

Actually many people are eager to invest in Bitcoin today because Bitcoin has shown very strong confidence, and legitimacy before every investors, before now, Bitcoin has created many wealthy people or investors who invested their money in it more especially long term investing. In the past when Bitcoin initially came into the digital world, many people did not believe in the potential of Bitcoin, and many of those first time investors, and that was the reason many of them sold so early. But today because of how well Bitcoin has succeed in the cryptocurrency market, investors confidence is now very high because they are now sure that Bitcoin is now a store of value, and can create wealth on long term investing.
A lot of people have given attention, and full interest to Bitcoin, companies, and even many countries of the world, and some countries even making it legal tender, and all these things are as a result of how reliable they have acknowledged Bitcoin to be.

In the past there were individuals who sold at an early stage, and some of them regretted selling their Bitcoin seeing where the price is at this point, and even today we are now seeing Bitcoin investors leaving their Bitcoin asset for even a decade, because they have been able to study the market, and arrive at the conclusion that Bitcoin is a legitimate investment.

Many of us who are investing in the Bitcoin market today, now understand how the market works, and can be able to percevere the Bitcoin market volatile, and bear market with the assurance that long term hodling will yield better result.

[DPHOR]

Of course you are right, and I must say the adoption that is being experienced today aren't the same back then 2009 or within a 2010, people hardly know the the real intentions of Bitcoin and to why it's being introduced to us, but after years back when they now knows the importance they tends to regret why they didn't accumulate enough as much as they could just to make sure they aren't missed out of profits. Bitcoin investment is something that most people have been thinking of venturing but from the way and manner everything happened they tends to regret because you can't actually turn back the hand of time just to make sure they had enough on their possession.

At the moment I will have to say that investors have lost confidence,

When it comes to confidence in This Bitcoin investment i believe it trends even as the market do. No matter the confidence one may claim to have concerning the overall Bitcoin stuff, I do feel that it is also to some extent dependant in the market conditions.

By this time last year, no one can boldly tell me that he or she has the same levels of confidence as that of now, At the moment there are many have even developed levels of doubt, but regardless you try to remind your self to focus on the long term goals to make your self feel better, and that is totally okay. Of cause this time lasts year there where also whales like we have now, also big investors, all of that to boost confidence was present, but regardless the swings of confidence still follows the swings of the market highs and lows, but we always try to remind ourselves that we should focus on Long term, we don't know what's going to happen and to an extent one can consider it a long term gamble, but it's a gamble worth trying anyways.

We should understand that it's not about the confidence or the emotions or what so ever, we are humans and our confidence are mostly influenced by what we see (completely natural), but what really matter is doing and fulfilling all righteousness in what so ever aspect of life you face, as you invest in Bitcoin you know it's right to buy consistently and hold regardless of emotions or levels of confidence then it is best you do it, your actions should not be dependent on those things.

The main point is that, when it comes to confidence no body really knows how confident people of those years where (there where also a lot of reasons why they should be confident in Bitcoins future) some might even be more confident than the people of today because of today's price, it's all about personal perspective, there could be a new coin now and someone out will believe in it than Bitcoin, so what is important is trying your best to fulfill all righteousness regardless of what you feel. Confidence shouldn't really matter in this case.

Another reason why early investors never had so much confidence in Bitcoin is because, in the early days of bitcoin, it experiences very huge crash, and was mostly used for transactions instead of seeing Bitcoin as an asset for investment, but today the mentality has really changed, and many Bitcoin investors are now willing to buy, and hodl for long term purpose, and investment.

Another reason I mention that early investors were not so keen on Bitcoin is that at that time Bitcoin did not have a real market value or circulation, but in recent times Bitcoin has become the center of attraction and its operation is clear that this technological asset is reliable compared to other similar assets and has the potential to earn returns if invested in it for the long term.

Imagine Laszlo buying just two pizzas for $10000BTC , and this amount of bitcoin is worth millions of dollars today, and some others who sold their bitcoin at early stage just to pay bills. All these things happened because they never expected bitcoin would stand the text of time.

Also, he sold 10,000 Bitcoins for just two pizzas and he was basically promoting the P2P aspect of this currency through it, even at that time the market value of this BTC was very low so he wanted to see if any real goods could be bought with this currency, even this person was the first to make commercial transactions with Bitcoin. Anyway, early investors may not have paid full attention to holding Bitcoin but now, seeing the history of the price increase of this currency, most people are investing and also our nigerians have gradually become Bitcoin whales by accumulating this currency.

The confidence of the present Bitcoin investors is still the same as other investors that have been investing in Bitcoin for a long time. The main reason why a lot of people that have been investing in Bitcoin for a long time is because they have lots of reasons to be confident in investing in Bitcoin and on Major reason is because of the fact that Bitcoin was at a low price years ago but now and looking at where it was few years ago and where it is today it means that within a few years it has the capacity to increase significantly.

Exactly I mean that should be the major reason why anyone would want to invest in Bitcoin because of the fact that it has a nice potential to still continue its upward movement. But we should also invest or go about it with a cautious that is using only funds we can afford to lose because we don't know for certain what will become of Bitcoin in years to come but every investor's faith is for Bitcoin to surge in the long term so their expectation isn't cut short.
