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

[Mia Chloe]

you are right, honestly we have many people regretting because they used to doubt that bitcoin would not be this expensive. If they knew, maybe they would have bought a lot of bitcoin and held it until now or started mining from the beginning and not selling it.

Bitcoin obviously was the first of its kind at that time and your wouldn't expect everyone to just dive into believing in it at that time. Many persons who are whales today are actually lucky persons and not because the knew from the onset that bitcoin would progress to this extent.  The crypto space is very volatile and of such predicting it can be very difficult.
I definitely won't blame anyone for not investing in bitcoin at the very early periods of its launch because virtually almost no one could pin point it progress as of now. Of course some persons may have predicted that it would be something nice in the future but many never saw the progress of this extent.

10 No matter how smart someone is! I don't think they thought about the position Bitcoin is in today. Bitcoin was the first digital currency, so many people held Bitcoin as a hobby, but they didn't think it would change their fortunes in such a way.  So I'd say those holding bitcoins from ten years ago are very lucky. I will not exclude them from the queue of smart. Because if they were not smart then they would not have been familiar with such technology at that time. and didn't even know about Bitcoin

I agree with you, those who hold bitcoin from 10 years ago are smart and lucky people because they have the right mindset and are now successful because they see the price of bitcoin is so expensive. I am not as smart and lucky as them because I came late and tried to invest to get profit even though the result is not as big as theirs.

While a lot of people first engaged with Bitcoin just to try it out, those who have followed through to now show an impressive intuition and maybe some good luck. Understanding the opportunity of blockchain technology and Bitcoin was not trivial at that time, and those who leapt into the crypto space early had their own individual visions. It was not just luck that was on their side; they were equally inclined to take risks when digital currencies' direction was mostly ignored by the public. While not all could predict Bitcoin's massive impact, there was exceptional reasoning in their decision to maintain ownership of it.

I think it's better to forget about it, because 10 years ago when bitcoin was launched many people had concerns about buying and holding bitcoin, although now there is a delay. But we should focus more on investing today to get profit next year during the bullish season.

We must not dwell on the past, Focusing on the future, At present should be attracted towards investment. because ten years ago when Bitcoin was launched, we might not have known that Bitcoin would ever reach this stage, if we had known, we might have sold all our assets and invested in Bitcoin. would keep However, even if we try a thousand times now, that opportunity will not be found again, so right now we should use the opportunity that will come in the future, and to use that opportunity, we should be attracted to holding and continue investing and holding continuously. The best method of which is the DCA method, if you continue DCA regularly, it is definitely possible to get something good from Bitcoin investment.

Yes, there is no point in blaming the past, or there is no point in saying that they were smart enough or otherwise very stupid. Because our focus is if we did not do it well in the past, then do it as well as possible in the present, because what we do in the present, will determine our future and make our future really according to expectations.

Because, however, not everyone understands Bitcoin and all its technology and developments at the beginning, so they do not immediately enter to invest or even hold. That's why it takes time to do it.

not having any trust into bitcoin 10 years ago isn't really that shocking, I am one of those people who were around back then, and around those times bitcoin wasn't known this much and it didn't look like it would be this big. Remember, we are talking about 2014, when it was around 1000 dollars, so it wasn't like it was some few cents or dollars, it already peaked to four digits, and that meant that we didn't know it could go even higher and we thought it was way above what it should be back then. Of course we didn't (most of us) know it would become this giant thing and we were wrong.

I've read similar experiences like this your own from different people about how they failed to invest in Bitcoin when the price was relatively affordable. Well I can't say for sure that I would've done better than people like you who had the knowledge then but didn't believe in the project but I think my spirit of curiosity would've forced me try no matter how little. To some of us, we didn't have the experience 10 years ago but we're glad that we finally know about Bitcoin now unlike millions of people that are yet to learn about Bitcoin

gone are the days where bitcoin was still cheap and we could have bought 1 or 2 or maybe even 5 bitcoins easily i am sure for those who knew about bitcoin yet did not believe it regret it now but there’s nothing else to do but move forward and plan how we can hold 1 bitcoin at least

Because, however, not everyone understands Bitcoin and all its technology and developments at the beginning, so they do not immediately enter to invest or even hold. That's why it takes time to do it.

now it is easier to believe bitcoin because it has been proven and tested but back then it was almost close to gambling depending if you had found out about bitcoin during its early stages now that we have solid proof of what bitcoin has done we are hoping it does the same in the future

When 10 years ago we still had doubts, this is the same as what I experienced at that time and when we started to believe in bitcoin the price was getting higher, and maybe there was regret but we were still lucky because we had known crypto first and got benefits from crypto.

But already during 2015, the price dropped significantly and 1 BTC could be bought for about $200, and even during 2016 the price was only $400. Even then, there was not nearly as much interest in BTC as it is today when it comes to mainstream media, and everything turned around in the second half and end of 2017. Let's not forget that even after the ATH of $20k the price dropped again to only $3000 and that everyone who talks about how they didn't know and didn't believe in BTC had plenty of opportunities to invest in BTC.

Let's put it this way - just a few years ago the price of 1 BTC was x10 lower than today (declaration of a pandemic 50% down - $5000), and before that a big correction from $20k to $3k in 2018. Perhaps we could conclude that some were not smart even 4-5 years ago.

I also have the same sentiment, when I started getting to understand Bitcoin and crypto about 10 years ago there was a lot of skepticism. Observing the growth and the rise of it’s price now, there is, of course, regret that did not invest more at the time. But we can at least be thankful because, at least, we have been introduced and engaged in the crypto world earlier to be able to learn and benefit from this tide.

For many people today, only starting to invest in the cryptocurrency market, it may seem that it is already too late, however, if we look at the history of cryptocurrencies, there is always an opportunity for profit, if, of course, we are patient and will continue to believe in technology and the key to the future. With each passing day the chances remain open for whoever is willing to take time and learn all about the crypto world.

When something starts its journey, there will be many doubters, this is not only the case with bitcoin but with everything that exists, that is my view.

However, those who doubted 10 years ago or more and got rid of their doubts to get in and start investing in bitcoin is still a good thing, even though it is late it doesn't matter. Because I think in bitcoin there is no such thing as too late as long as we want to do it.

Actually its just really that part of human instinct to have those doubts on the moment that they've been able to see or meet something that they havent been able to have or do before,
on which on the moment that they've seen its something new then having such engagement or interest could neither be that not present or spiked out and this will really be just that
depending on a certain individual since not all people would really be having such approach or reaction on the moment that they have seen something new.
Some would be wise but there would really be people will really be skeptical.
