The regret of early Investors or the regret you get for procrastinating

[Kelward]

This is what will happen if we as Bitcoin holders have doubts about the assets we hold, thinking that the current price is already high enough to sell them and hoping to buy them back at a lower price when the price drops. Honestly, this is a fatal mistake that is often made by both traders and investors themselves. It is important to understand that Bitcoin's potential for the future is enormous. As more people become familiar with Bitcoin over time, more will begin to purchase it, including large institutions that have already started accumulating it. Additionally, do not view Bitcoin solely as an investment asset but rather as a safeguard against inflation for the wealth we possess.

The regrets that weakhands that are selling when price takes a little nosedive will have in the future will be greater than those of the early days of Bitcoin creation. It's understandable that in the early years of Bitcoin that it hasn't gotten any historical patterns that it'll continue to be bullish in bull runs. Now that the fact has been proven that Bitcoin is a store of value and it will continue to reach new ATH there's is no reason for holders to panic when there is pullbacks. I believe that Bitcoin will make a lot of people very rich in the future so now can still be considered as early years compared to what it's price can be in the future.

But  to be able to get rich with bitcoin in the future, we need to invest continuously with significant capital. We cannot expect to get rich just by investing in bitcoin with small capital like the early investors did. This is another misconception that many people are having thinking that bitcoin price can increase 100 or 1000 times in the future like what happened in the past. That won't happen, because bitcoin is worth  $120k with a market cap of over $2 trillion ,  not a few dollars or $100. We are not in the early stages anymore.

I think, based on gold's market capitalization, Bitcoin will likely increase by about 10 times at most. This is still reasonable, as some analysts predict Bitcoin will reach $1 million. I'm not sure we're still in the early stages. I think only those who were around during the Satoshi era, or before 2017, can be considered early-stage investors. Currently, if someone consistently saves Bitcoin every month, they might become one of the richest people in the future. However, if you only save $100 per month, buying Bitcoin won't make you financially free. But it can secure your assets. Essentially, it's like buying gold as a safe haven.

Only if we are ready to wait for, like, 20+ years, then maybe there would be results like that: then again, BTC is not as volatile as it was, because it becomes harder and harder to move its cap.

The truth is, unless you are a long holder, it's quite impossible to hold Bitcoin for 10 or 20 years. Usually when we buy Bitcoin, probably we might sell when it's become double. I believe most people will do that, though we regret it later. But who knows the future? We are witnesses of huge dumps and bears as well. But if we have patience, then definitely we can sell at ATH. If we are traders, then we shouldn't regret it at all, because trading is a kind of business. Holding means you have to hold longer till it does hit your expected price.

Why is it impossible to hold that long?

Purely due to impatience, FOMO, or something in between, imo - as it was said, it's not impossible - but it's hard if you are not a long holder and understand why you do it.

Because it's easier said than done, and history has proven that. Not many investors could hold bitcoin for that period of time, only a few could. In particular, holding bitcoin 10 years ago was much more difficult and challenging, as bitcoin was not as popular as it is now and was even considered a scam or trash. So holding on has never been easy.

Unlike today when things have become more clear and many people are starting to brag that they can hold bitcoin for a long time or will hold until the price reaches $1 million. But I bet not many people can hold out that long even if everyone believes it will happen, because there are hundreds of things to worry about in our lives, not just accumulating and holding bitcoins. There will come a time when we have to sell bitcoin because of life, not because we no longer believe in it.

I totally agree.

It's possible, but highly unlikely - to the point that you would probably get your bags at least partially left over to the market due to situations you may have, or because you would want to at least fix some of your results eventually.

So in my own opinion, now is not too late to buy Bitcoin because it's still in it early days, and am quite positive that in 10 to 20 years time from now, Bitcoin has the capability of doing 10x to 15x of it current price, so it is best to act now that the opportunity is still there.

if anyone thinks that now is no longer the right time or it is too late to invest in bitcoin because the price is already high, then they are wrong. it is never too late to invest money in bitcoin because now the adoption is not so high globally. also by looking at the increasing adoption from governments and institutions, it will increase the price of bitcoin even more in the next few years. so now is the best time to invest in bitcoin.

the only thing to understand is to only invest using the right strategy, such as DCA or accumulation. most people do not understand this method so they see that the price of bitcoin is too high for them to buy, even though they can buy it with small amounts consistently.

BTC grows in value ever so slightly not because the price go brrr, but because the demand dictates so - when everybody, big and small, want a piece, in different quantities, it's no wonder BTC's value only grows.

So the price is only a number, albeit now it's a big one - the real fight is in the adoption.

It's never too late to invest in bitcoin, bitcoin's potential is still huge. But it will be too late if someone is ambitious and wants to make millions of dollars or get rich with small capital. It can be said the golden age of bitcoin prices that could increase thousands of times and bring huge profits is no more. We cannot expect 100 or 1000 times returns these days. Even if we wanted to get 10x returns on bitcoin, it would probably take decades, it won't happen in the next 5 or 7 years.

What bitcoin can bring us when we invest in it today is a significant return on our initial capital. Don't be too dreamy and think it will make us rich like the early investors did.

I do think your words are valid - Bitcoin is no magic land, it's doing its progress with time and naturally, and you won't make it big there in one swift buy - but you may become a true hodler through BTC

Your point is why I feel that many people will get trapped sooner or later, the fact that everyone want a piece of Bitcoin and the gold rush is spiking up like never seen before, is why I feel that 2021 is unfolding right in front of our eyes again, you are a fool if you believe that Bitcoin will keep going up and up forever.

Institution and countries investing in Bitcoin have brainwashed many investors thinking this time is different, they think Bitcoin isn't going to come down ever again, they erase the volatility of Bitcoin off their heads.

No one can spot the top, it's better to be put on the way up than waiting for the real top to happen, it's never too late to buy Bitcoin but know that you are one of those buying the top, thread carefully.

We can't get a new ATH without going on a little roller coaster, aren't we?

This is the main question, when is the right time to exit. Many people understand that bitcoin is growth is cyclical. It reaches a certain peak and then crashes. But what strategy is best to use? I came up with this one for myself. I  define the price I believe it could reach, divide my investment into three parts, and decide in advance at which price point I’ll sell each part. But even then, doubts can arise, and I might miss the right moment, end up freezing my assets for a long time, or exit at a loss.

[passwordnow]

We all make mistakes, we sell early and we regret that after seeing the price. But look at that past if the sale that you did was helpful in your situation. What we have a control with is today and tomorrow. If we continue to see the price of BTC going up and we did nothing and we didn't bought even for a few satoshis, that's our mistake. So, with the example of that Bitcoin can still move from 10x to 15x, it's possible. And it's only in our minds if we're going to wait until it happens or, we will do something before it happens and if we accumulate and do it now.

No, I seriously disagree with you here bro, yes it's true that the price of Bitcoin will definitely retrace a little, but looking at it from a longer perspective, it's seriously on the rise, do not forget that Bitcoin is still in it early days and it's no where close to it peak price, so what makes you think that Bitcoin is even close to it peak price now that it's not been adopted globally by the least 10% of the world population?
Just imagine the value Bitcoin might rise up to when like 20% of the total world population invest in it, and we haven't even talked about it limited supply that will make it looks like everyone will be trying to get a piece of the cake that is limited, if you truly knows the law of supply and demand, you will understand perfectly well what am saying.

Institution and countries investing in Bitcoin have brainwashed many investors thinking this time is different, they think Bitcoin isn't going to come down ever again, they erase the volatility of Bitcoin off their heads.

The volatility of Bitcoin will always be there, but in the long term movement of Bitcoin, it's going in the upward direction, it's only those that are buying without the intention of holding for a very long time that will be worried about volatility, not Long term holder.

it's never too late to buy Bitcoin but know that you are one of those buying the top, thread carefully.

Com'on man, Bitcoin is no where close to it peak price just yet because the final Bitcoin has not been mine yet and it adoption rate is still pretty low, so it's unwise thinking that this current price is too expensive because in years to come, this current price will be a bargain price you never saw now, so just buy and hold for the future, because it is going to worth it in the future.

The above picture states very clearly the regret most Bitcoin investors are going through now.
I was just going through my telegram page when I bump into this in one of the crypto airdrop group, so I decided to share.

Most times as humans we feel more regret for the action we didn't take than the ones we took.
25 October 2011 he was happy that he didn't buy Bitcoin when it was $2.70, but comparing gap in price between then and now, is quite a lot to feel regretful.
So in my own opinion, now is not too late to buy Bitcoin because it's still in it early days, and am quite positive that in 10 to 20 years time from now, Bitcoin has the capability of doing 10x to 15x of it current price, so it is best to act now that the opportunity is still there.

There is no point in crying about something that you can't change. It's a part of the past, almost the whole population missed that magnificent moment of buying Bitcoin in a few cents. One guy even paid 10K Bitcoin for one Pizza. There is nothing we can do. I had a few Bitcoins in 2017 and I converted them into US dollars because I was a kid and my parents thought that it was the best possible idea. Do you guys what I did next? In 2018, I decided to take decisions myself and from 2018, I started collecting Bitcoins, as much as I could and in 2020 this action paid back very well. There is no point in regretting your past decisions if you can't change them.

I believe that Bitcoin will make a lot of people very rich in the future so now can still be considered as early years compared to what it's price can be in the future.

But  to be able to get rich with bitcoin in the future, we need to invest continuously with significant capital. We cannot expect to get rich just by investing in bitcoin with small capital like the early investors did. This is another misconception that many people are having thinking that bitcoin price can increase 100 or 1000 times in the future like what happened in the past. That won't happen, because bitcoin is worth  $120k with a market cap of over $2 trillion ,  not a few dollars or $100. We are not in the early stages anymore.

Those investing now will be paying for their negligence, they have to put in so much to get enough profit. Early investors got in with little capital but for those who dragged their feet and doubted the future of bitcoin they will have to fund their wallet with so much coin. They  must be intentional with their investment plan if they must catch up with the wave and trend. The goal is in the amount of coin owned. The more the coin the more value it returns in a long term goal.

Imagine investing $100 and the market makes 1000 times more in 5-10 years time the yield will be $100000 and we know this isn't a guarantee and with all sincerity that profit can be made within a year of steady business. I feel an investment should be a life changer rather than a sustainer. More capital makes bitcoin investment worth the wait time.

[348Judah]

We do say it, that when the market dips, we should not treat it the same way and react by it, because it could just be either the season of bear market or we are having a shock for others to sell or buy and then profitability set in, all these FOMO should be dealt with when we are investing, because they are the major cause of loss most of us had, if you never invested before, then its never too late, because the market will still be more better than this in the future, only if you can hold.
