Some people were smart 10 years ago, some were not...

[Wiseman]

10 years ago a man appeared on a TV program in the US and boldly said that 1 BTC will be worth at least $10 000 in the next 3 years. Many laughed at him and looked at him strangely after that, but the man always had a nose for such things and was actually right.

Around the same time, one of the most famous investors in the US declared that Bitcoin is "mirage", and a few years later he stated that BTC is “probably rat poison squared”.

What is the lesson of the story? Sometimes you should not blindly listen to those who are "successful", but to those who are perhaps a little less successful, but always follow new technologies and understand their potential.

Fortunately, in 2014 I didn't listen to Warren Buffett but to Tim Draper

All these stories are similar to new signs where, for example, in some countries if a black cat crosses your path, you should expect trouble, and in another country, on the contrary, if a black cat crosses your path, it means good luck )))
All this is just a coincidence and a play on words that can lead to what you wrote about, I am sure that there were hundreds of people like him and he alone stupidly said for fun that bitcoin would cost 10,000, but in fact he could not know anything for sure, I clearly remember that time and how everyone was talking about bitcoin, there was no one to sell it to and it was certainly unrealistic to make a forecast on how much it would cost, it was just a coincidence.

Yes All people are not same, Some people always smart and uptodate. We saw many example about it. Some people did previously even many years ago now some people doing that now. Like we know Huge people bought bitcoin when bitcoin price was very low and they are holding that for long time Became they understood about Bitcoin's future. 

But most of people Don't think about Bitcoin's future. So how Bought bitcoin before 10/12 years ago and hold that now they are financially established there has no doubt. But average people couldn’t think about future of bitcoin so they are not economically established till now. So i am agree with you Some people were smart 10 years ago, some were not.

It's fascinating how perspectives on technology and innovation can vary widely, even among the most successful investors. The lesson you shared highlights the importance of thinking independently and being open to new ideas, even when they go against mainstream opinions.Warren Buffett, despite being one of the most successful investors in history, is known for his skepticism of emerging technologies like Bitcoin. On the other hand, people like Tim Draper saw the potential of Bitcoin early on, recognizing that disruptive technologies often face resistance before gaining widespread acceptance.

I agree with you, maybe those who did not buy bitcoin 10 years ago were people who had doubts and whose economy was not yet stable. Because they were afraid of losing, where the need will always be there. While for those who are smart and have good finances they will buy bitcoin at that time and hold it for the long term because they have predicted that bitcoin will have a bright future.

Up till this time, some people are still not smart towards Bitcoin investment, maybe they don't believe or understand the concept behind Bitcoin creation and its investment.

That's the same way as we have many people who are just being smart in what they lay their beliefs on. Being smart can't work in what someone has less idea of. Those people who were smart 10 years ago were smart because they believed in Bitcoin; those who weren't were because they didn't believe in it; we don't have to blame anybody for whatever they chose to be smart of or not, as we are not forcing or convincing anyone to invest in Bitcoin now they have the opportunity to. Everything thing we choose do in this life, is a choice. It can turn out good or bad in the future

Doubt is a natural emotion and will be experienced by everyone, especially when bitcoin first existed, when bitcoin was first launched many were doubtful. I do not mean he was stupid, just not brave enough to take risks because at that time there was a lot of bad news and some thought bitcoin was a scam and the risk was very high. Only people who dared to take risks at that time and had good intuition are currently feeling the results.

That's the part I regret in the past why I didn't buy bitcoin at that time, I even sold the bitcoin that I got for free at a cheap price. I sometimes imagine if I still hold it until now, I probably already have a lot of money. But as people say, we don't need to regret, we better start focusing on investing now.

I believed in Bitcoin right away after my first transaction and after reading why and how it was created but I was too late I registered on Bitcointalk 2013 but it took me 3 years after my first transactions like me so many of us only believe if it becomes popular and understand the technology behind Bitcoin
You know Bitcoin has the potential for huge profit but you're still looking for something new that is very similar to Bitcoin and wants to be an early bird.

You are someone who has been in the crypto world for a long time because in 2013 you already had an account on bitcointalk. At that time I didn't know the forum and looked for news about bitcoin from the media and didn't create an account there, As far as I remember, I don't know what year I got free bitcoin from a faucet and I sold it when the price was high.

I had a lot of regrets and have coins and tokens that I took for granted its really hard when you have nothing or zero and you suddenly find yourself with a lot of profit. I lost my chance on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Coin, and the so many coins that started 7 or 8 years ago that are on top of the market.

One of my biggest regrets was Doge used to have over 100k but I dump thinking that this meme was fading and will be going to oblivion, I should have waited two years before it made a big pump.

in any case it is better not to think about the past... I too have been in this world for a long time but I have always focused on interesting technology and I have never believed in the project
Now I know, is it probably too late? no it's always a good time to enter the revolution so those who have been outside of it must think in this positive way

Some would say that it's not worth crying over spilled milk, others might find another saying like Historia est Magistra Vitae, which, in my opinion, makes much more sense if we know how to learn from history. Thinking outside the box and not blindly believing everything you hear and see is a good recipe to improve your chances of succeeding in life.

In your case, and it suits for many as well, you have sold your dogecoins not because you were not smart enough, but because you were in short of money. Otherwise, no matter happens with market, no matter what value your dogecoins were, you would still hold them. This makes whole case about not being the smartest o keep holding, but being wealthy enough that money issues wont distract you from holding. We sell not because we are stupid, but because we need money right now.

If we need money and it is to fulfill our living needs, we should not say that we are not smart, but because we really need money for our needs, I also have doge, yesterday I bought it and now I am trapped because it turns out that the price of bitcoin has fallen and doge has also experienced a price decrease.

Bro, you did everything right by buying the Dogs token, the fact that the price has dropped a little is not significant, you can earn 200-300% on it if you don’t panic.
As for whether to spend money on your satisfaction, I’ll say yes, spend it and as often as possible, otherwise you’ll burn out on the desire to earn money.
