Hello everyone, so quickly, what are those areas or aspects you think you should have done things differently or better if you were to start back from the beginning in this crypto space?
There are newbies that will love to learn

I think almost everyone here can relate to my answer, that the biggest regret is not having bought BTC when it was cheaper hehehe, preferably in 2013, 2014, 2015...
Another regret I have is that 1 or 2 years ago I didn't spend more time studying about airdrops and new projects, because a lot of people have managed to make a lot of money from this
It's usually at the moment of a downturn that you have to work harder to reap the rewards afterwards

Well, I'll list some regrets and/or things I would do differently as I remember them...
1 - Since my teenage years, around 2013-14, I had heard about Bitcoin, I even researched it, but back then I thought it was a type of money that only worked on the deep web, although I thought the idea was really cool, due to my other interests,and I ended up ignoring Bitcoin... I only truly understood it by 2015... but at that time I didn't have money to buy it... If I could go back in time (although this would be against the laws of physics, probably generating another version of myself when I went back in time), I'd definitely tell my past self to buy bitcoins or mine and do everything I could to buy even 10 units...
2 - I would go deeper and invest part of the funds (about 30%) in ETH around 2015 and hold it for a long time.
3 - If I were starting to get into this market today, I'd join discussion forums like this one, since the information tends to be as impartial as possible. I wouldn't listen so much to influencers who convince you to invest in shitcoins (like OM) and then only you would get screwed.
4 - I'd adopt my current strategy sooner. Instead of making a single purchase all at once, I'd slip my payment into 3 or 4 parts, so that throughout the week, I can make periodic purchases practicing DCA. I would never have made the mistake of stopping visiting the bitcointalk forum, where many opportunities arise for those who dedicate themselves.
5 - In the beginning, I would talk a lot about Bitcoin to people, but most of the time, I was considered crazy. Today, I talk very little or almost nothing, but unfortunately, people who already know about it keep talking about it. I'd never say that I know about Bitcoin or that I invest in it, as this could pose a threat in the future or people would mock you in the hope that you would lose everything in a bear market.

Ohh my friend, this means that airdrops are being profitable for you... I'm happy, someday I should set aside a few hours to research this, although it's difficult to filter and retain what's good, due to the flood of content on the internet.

Missed to invest in 2014, that's the biggest regret for me but what is supposed to happen will happen and I am just happy that I understand that later like a couple of years after.
Sometimes I get tempted about the new coins that I can make better profits if I convert my BTC and take thr gamble but inner conservative me doesn't let that happen.

Just like some have already said, my greatest regrets is not buying bitcoin at the early stages. I think back then I knew what it was but don't trust any thing online so I literally just focus on better things and tried not ruining my plans for the future. Until now, I wish I could have a time machine and go back to buy some BTC when it was just $1... I guess so many people missed that opportunity or some knew of it's existence but threw away the opportunity...
-
My biggest regret is when I ignored security too much and felt that the computer I use every day for work and business purposes was not completely safe... I have been hacked three times on different devices, and this clearly made me have to increase my security layer in storing crypto assets...
A person will realize that their system is not safe when they find themselves a victim of hacking... until now there are a total of three wallets that I have left because some hackers managed to get the private key... I ignored security too much and this had a huge impact on the assets that I store in non-custodial crypto wallets...
-
I do not see this as a regret but as an advice. Newbie should be careful of crypto trading, most especially future trading. Just as they will prefer to use 1% of their income on gambling so should it be in future trading because they will always lose as a beginner and some traders still learn more about trading but continue to lose.

Learn how to secure your coins by using open source, well-reviewed software, and preferably using a hardware wallet or an airgapped wallet.
After that, invest in Bitcoin, learn when to buy and when to sell, and invest in the top 10 altcoins after six months of learning how to trade.
Over time, you can learn to trade and invest in low-cap tokens.
-
Years in this industry yet I am not yet rich and it is all because of the mistakes, bad moves, hasty decisions and being victims of different scams and even phishing in the past. One, had I got a crystal ball, I should have sold everything I owned just to buy Bitcoin when it was just $500 (the rate when I first entered this space). I should have not used my Bitcoin for scam programs that later on just give me headaches and empathy wallets instead I should have just HODL my Bitcoin and never be enticed by other coins and tokens that later on turned to be dead. I am sure I am not alone with this story. A sad story. And now I am looking for a time machine so I can travel to the past and kick myself so I can restrained not to commit so many wrongs.
-
One of the mistakes I did back when I was new was spreading my funds too thinly across different tokens that were trending or popping at the time. Although it resulted into a net positive, I wasn't able to maximize the profit. What I would say is to not rush in buying tokens buzzing on social media. Most of the time, it's already too late when it's posted on X or TG. You'll be one of the late buyers before it crashes.
-
When I had a lot of Bitcoin and sold it at such a low price, I think it was because I wasn’t looking ahead much. However, I learned now and just kept on buying more Bitcoin.
Maybe there are a lot of people who have the same sentiment as me.

...
When I learned about BTC in 2017, I didn't have much money to invest either
One of my first BTC purchases was around 20 USD, and back then that was a lot of money for me and I was super worried about losing that money
If I had known that BTC would appreciate so much, I would have sold everything I had hahaha

There is nothing or any moment somebody would have wish to go back on other than Bitcoin because that is the only investment that could change the story of someone if the investment was made very early, so the first area I will loved to go back on is the part when Bitcoin was at $1k or $2k so that all the money I had use for other business and some other things I would use it all to buy Bitcoin and by now I would have made a lot of money on Bitcoin because if I had $1k equivalent on Bitcoin when the price was the same but now is millions on my currency.

None... or maybe there's one that I don't really regret that much, but whenever I remember that thing, I feel a bit of disappointment and regret.
I've been into crypto since 2017, and I've earned some Bitcoins as well through signature campaign. To cut the story short, ever since 2018 until now, I'm spending my Bitcoins to buy something I need or want. I mean just imagine if those Bitcoins that I got especially in the years 2018 & 2019 are just being kept into a wallet. My life would've changed already. Well, that's not the case, and I won't dwell with it anymore because nothing will happen, and I can't control it anymore. Only the future is the one that I can control.
I'm pretty sure there are some here who had some regrets, and there's nothing wrong with having one as long as you learned from it, and if possible, don't do it again. :)

I like this, regrets that can be learned from... different from some regrets that other people post here, many regret that they did not hoard a lot of BTC when the price was cheap.... then they think that now they would have been living rich if they had done that a long time ago... but they do not change their mindset, or maybe they are now afraid that BTC will not go up again...
Rather than regretting our decisions in the past, it is better to remember some regrets that we can still fix in the future... we must not repeat the same mistakes, like when we were newbies, where there must have been many mistakes that arose from the decisions we made... that's natural, we still need to learn and must continue to learn to be better in the future.

When a new member enters crypto he needs to practice a lot because what is crypto currency and how it works, you have to practice everything then you should take action. In the past, everyone used to make fun of bitcoin but now everyone knows that the only profitable currency in crypto is bitcoin. I bought bitcoin about a year after I got into crypto because people weren't that hyped about bitcoin back then. There's a lot of hype surrounding crypto investing. For new investors it can be easy to get too caught up in it. Therefore, it is essential to have a solid basic knowledge of crypto technology before investing. You will lose money from where you enter in new situations, so strengthen your experience.

Actually, there is no point in regret, because this is the past and there is no need to bring it up. However, as a learning material and also experience, sometimes I think why not start holding Bitcoin very tightly since years ago so that if I still hold it now, the increase will be many times over. Why did I still buy some altcoins that are now backfiring and actually making assets drop.
But fortunately all of those experiences can be valuable lessons, which we can optimize now. There is no use in regret, all that matters is how we manage ourselves in the future and optimize it. Because the main goal is to increase existing profits.

We should really move on and not feel disappointed or regret that we didn't do in crypto space. And obviously, it has something to do with not investing early on some coins or not joining airdrop when they are still very hot and profitable and others.
But fortunately all of those experiences can be valuable lessons, which we can optimize now. There is no use in regret, all that matters is how we manage ourselves in the future and optimize it. Because the main goal is to increase existing profits.
Yes, it's a very expensive lessons to learn, but as human we really need that kind of experience to make the right decision in the future. So as I have said, move on in life don't look back and start all over again.
-
One of the recent ones is I regret spending less time on crypto for a few months a while ago because I'm working on another job. If I still participate in forum discussions and so on, I think I can collect more sats from contests, sig campaigns, etc. I think that would put me in a better position right now because I'd have much more savings if I did that. But well, no point regretting that forever. Other than regrets, people also need to learn to move on. While you can't change what happened in the past, you can still change your future.

So, what is the solution to some of the regrets people have here? Many regret not buying Bitcoin when it first appeared, all regret not being able to profit because the current Bitcoin price increase is so crazy... so,, what is the solution and lesson for these regrets?
Buy Bitcoin as soon as possible and then wait 5 years? So that in 2030 we don't regret our actions today? Surely, when bitcoin goes up to $500k / BTC in 2030, someone will also regret it, because why didn't they sell their house for bitcoin in 2025... when the price is so expensive now... WTF... please separate greed and regret...

Well, there have been a lot of regrets in my crypto investing journey, where too much naivety caused me to miss out on many opportunities.
In 2012, while learning C++, I naively believed that BTC was just a joke for gamers who needed a virtual currency payment method.
In 2017, I naively believed that ICOs would replace IPOs.
In 2021, I naively believed in the supercycle and that blockchain technology had truly been widely adopted in the tech industry.
In 2023, I naively believed that altcoins had greater potential than BTC.
Now, I'm trying to stay alert to learn and detect the first reversal signals to exit the market with a decent profit before the crypto winter of 2026-2027.
But honestly, I'm also afraid that I'll miss out on a massive BTC price surge in 2026 ^^
-
I invested in one project on the say of my best friend, he was way too bullish on that project well, I invested in that project on his saying, and as far as I remember that time project price was $40 and and I came down to $3-$4 haha means whatever I invested turned into the lose.
Well, I will never ever point it as his or mine fault, as I believe I learnt something that I would never invest anywhere without my own research haha, I knew DYOR is a must, but that time I did not do my research before investing in that project.
-
I don't really have any regrets to be honest, if i had been scammed and lost funds, then i would have said that i would have taken security seriously, but i haven't lost funds to scammers. My crypto journey has not had any regrets and i am glad i joined crypto forums to learn how to secure my funds.

In 2014, I have earn some Bitcoins, so I created a paper address that time, but I forget to move them but I keep my paper wallet. And then in 2017, I remember it and so when I get back to see, there's none only the addresses.
And now it dawn to me that I make the biggest mistakes and regrets not moving it that time. I could have a lot of profits and it could have been a lot to me. Oh well, it's time to go and move on and continue today to save as much as I can.

~snip~
What do you mean none only the addresses?
Are all funds from your backup gone? It seems similar to mine, actually, I've been holding mine since 2015 until 2020. Around that year I saw the momentum in BTC—no downfall; it keeps increasing. That is why I checked my old hard drive where I save my offline backups, but after opening it and checking the address on an online PC, I saw nothing in my wallet. I can't remember if I already withdrew my balance, but I believe I never touched my funds there since 2015.
So I missed that opportunity to sell last 2021, when the BTC reached the new ATH and it was pandemic time. I regret holding it. I should transfer them into a much safer wallet generated from the Bitcoin Core wallet than any 3rd-party wallet.
-
I guess the biggest regret for most of us is not really going into Bitcoin early as we have heard it before. We just keep a cold shoulder, but then there is circumstances that we have crossed path with it again after years and then that's where we realized that it has gone so big.
Nevertheless, as the saying goes, the best time to buy Bitcoin is today and so with that, I keep keep on buying if my budget will allow me and not be feeling like guilt on the supposedly lost time that I didn't invest on Bitcoin.

Let me say that someone has paid me for my services with Bitcoin that year. But after the job is done, they ask me to create a Bitcoin address so I did that. But then I forget to move that Bitcoin in a address that I have total control because the payment is in a 3rd party, like a exchange. And so with that 3rd party changing hands or the business model has change, new owners and everything, I didn't withdraw my funds their until that sudden changes and so everything is lost. I still clinging on that I might have move in so I go and did check the Bitcoin address that I created but there's none. So obviously, it's a silly decision for me not to move it to a wallet that I have control because that time, I still didn't know about Bitcoin. I just took the job as a sort of experiment because it's easy one.

I have no regrets on this one.
I started learning cryptocurrency in the year 2017. As soon as I heard cryptocurrency, I researched immediately, learned it and invested as soon as I felt that I'm ready already. Some might say "Imagine if you know Bitcoin in 2012 blah blah blah." Just for context, during that time I'm just studying so even though I heard Bitcoin at that time or even in 2013, or 2014, I don't have the capacity to invest still because I don't have my own money. :D Yes, for some it might be a regret, but not for me.
I'm just happy that I learned about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and I don't see any regrettable experiences in my part.

Well, there have been a lot of regrets in my crypto investing journey, where too much naivety caused me to miss out on many opportunities.
Am now sure now there are really many people like us here in the exciting cryptocurrency industry. When we started we believe on things we assumed to be true and which later on we find to be naive and unfounded. During the ICO days, I have this assumption that a successful project that made it to some exchanges would stay there in the top hence I never sold until such time that only 10% of the original value got retained...in the end I sold at a loss. Unfortunately, the same malady is still affecting me right now as I am sometimes stubborn on holding on even if the market is getting sour. In our journey, we learned many things that resulted into gains and many times losses.

The majority of regrets will be about not starting to invest in it earlier, and this is common. This is a regret to shake off because the opportunity to invest is still here, and if you will just lock in and focus on accumulation, you will be shocked how much you would have had invested in a very short time.
Regrets will not help.

Always take profits whenever the market is in bull run. You'll thank me later when you have that mindset or when you have changed your mind from not taking profits into taking one. That's what I've learned from being in this market for a decade and it really taught me a lesson with all of those experiences that I have got and it's the thing that I have lacked for and so, it is one of the regrets that I am correcting now.

Perhaps the best time to buy BTC was 15 years ago, and the second best time is right now, as long as investors accept the potential price volatility on the BTC price chart and maintain their belief in this novel asset.
I also have regrets about BTC, but even more so about DOGE, ETH, and BNB because I experienced the early stages of these legendary tokens. I missed out on them, I chased more compelling narratives in the crypto market. This season, I've tried to be more mindful, but I'm still not entirely satisfied with my decisions.

I would say I wouldn't have FOMOed and bought into some of the cryptocurrencies that I bought in the past because they caused me a lot of loss, and I didn't know this before. Whenever I used to see a coin or token going straight up, I would get excited and think that I can make a quick entry and then exit quickly with some profit if I use all my capital because that will maximize the profits, but that's not how things work and you learn this as you spend more time in this space.
Apart from that, I wouldn't have invested in some of the scam projects in the initial days. I was a newbie, and I didn't know much, so I would invest in platforms where they would say I would get good returns. I know, I was also one of the newbies who used to think that earning money from this space is easy and one can earn from such platforms, but I was wrong.

Well, I had some shitcoin back in the day, it was worth ~100 ETH at time, I kept holding it and eventually sold it for much less.

If I have to start over but with the same knowledge I have now, I would have done only a few things differently, like in trading, I would ignore future trading at all in start to save money that I lost, to hold funds in safer places. In airdrops I would have joined the airdrops I know are really going to give me bigger rewards.
Other then these few things the journey is same even now we can start over with the same information so we can't do anything big still with starting over.
-
Very good question. Everyone who is new to the crypto space must have made some mistakes, more or less. The mistakes that make us regret. Although we may not think much about those mistakes at first, they become apparent with time. If I had the opportunity to invest in crypto again, I would have increased my investment in Bitcoin only. Instead of greedily increasing my investment in shit coins, I would have invested in some altcoins with good fundamentals.

My biggest regrets in the crypto space are the investment related ones that I made when I started my journey in this space, I made some investments based on the predictions of some fake analysts which put me in a lot of trouble in my beginning.
And my current regrets are that when Bitcoin touched the milestone of 109k on that time in polygon and dogs, I was in profit after recovering from the loss, but I did not sell and the result is that I am now bearing more losses.

This story is very common in the industry and it has happened to a lot of people. When i joined the industry, one of the things i learnt early is that altcoins are short term investments, so there is really no reason to hold them for too long, or else you would end up regretting it and so many people learnt the hard way.

It would be better if you could provide a solution to that regret... memecoin is an asset with a very crazy fluctuation... do a sell trade at a certain price if it keeps you in a profitable position, then, be grateful... and if you see another ATH after you sell it, then never think you are a mystic who can predict it...
Actually, the regrets that I read too much are because of their greed,,,, regretting not holding longer, still refers to greed...Rather than regretting it, it's better to forget it and do your best next time.

Lesson learned. :) Don't worry. It's not only you that had the same experience. There might be some that had even more money invested into some shitcoins.
Still, around 100 ETH is still a huge amount of money considering how much 1 ETH is right now. I guess it's good on my part that I'm not the type of investor that puts some money on some coins that I know that has no value in the long run, or some shitcoins out there or else... I might've the same fate as you had back then.

That shitcoin was bounty reward, I didn't invest. Also, long term holding actually worked out there, it was floating at peanuts for couple years before it blew up.

Greed is very common in the crypto industry, it is not only a reason to regret a missed opportunity, but it is also a major reason why people fall victim to scams. When scammers initiate conversations with their victims, the victims usually have this tiny feeling that it could be a scam, but because of what they were promised, they ignore their feelings.

When you want to benefit from stories that are too good to be real, you will definitely fall victim to these scammers. This is why one needs to aviod give aways and memecoins promo, because this is where some scammers will lure you into. Be satisfied with what you have and work to build and grow your bitcoin investment.

You are right that when you make profit you should take it and be happy. Memecoins go up and down in price so wildly that trying to sell exactly at highest point is almost impossible. If you sell and then price goes even higher you should not beat yourself up thinking you could have known.
You also made great point that more regrets in trading come from being too greedy. When people say I wish I hold longer it is usually because they want to make more money this shows greed level of any person. It is good to learn from what happened but it is not helpful to keep thinking about money you could have made. It is much better to forget about past and try your best to make good choices in future.
