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

[pieppiep]

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.

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.

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.

When a person is confronted with the situation never encountered before his or her response is a function of openness and exposure. We also find that there are those that are going to be interested instantly and will see it as a chance, and then there are those that will be interested but will need some information first. This attitude may change and on other times, skepticism may be felt, but the feeling is healthy in handling affairs that are not well explained. Adequate persons will always take their time to find out more about it before they venture into a new project and this is very safe.

Those who are able to take a chance, who like new things, are likely the same as the ones who will move fast, though fast may mean exposed. Direct experience is also an important learning experience to them, to the other it is self-protection. Each of the strategies has his strengths, and one should not forget about the weakness of each: one has to be active in searching for opportunities and one has to be careful and shy at the same time.

For a newly-minted internet asset, investor caution is common. Stocks of Amazon, Google, Meta, Snapchat, and others have all experienced similar phases in their history. BTC has only been around for 15 years, and a decade ago I didn't pay any attention to it. I even dismissed it as a joke and wouldn't invest even 100 USD in it.

While I regret my delay, I believe it was a normal reaction and within my control. I will continue to exercise caution when faced with promotional material about investment opportunities in new stocks, projects, or tokens in the financial market. Currently, I am still working remotely and receiving payment in BTC, which has opened up more opportunities for me. This is sufficient for me

Yes you are right it is human instinct to have doubts about something, we cannot possibly believe in something immediately, especially if it is something that has just been introduced, of course we will have many questions that can only be answered when everything has happened.

This is what we feel, maybe even some people here initially strongly rejected bitcoin, but over time they began to accept bitcoin and eventually made it their main investment.

I don't blame anybody who didn't take Bitcoin seriously 10 years ago. If I had known about Bitcoin then, I would have done the same by even selling Bitcoin at its early stage out of ignorance and impatience. These are common attributes you will find in most human beings.

Some humans are not patient enough to trust the future of something they can't have control of, talk more of living their money in it for long without touching it, even when an important need for money arises.

It only takes someone to have a long plan for their money to withstand the urge to sell their Bitcoin at an early stage. Some of us are now planning to sell our Bitcoin by next year. What if Bitcoin doesn't decline in price again after many of us have sold at high prices? I know you will say it's a lie, it can't happen. Bitcoin will have a declining price because of 2027 bearish market

I read a lot of regrets from people who didn't buy and hold bitcoin when it was first launched. I was also one of those who doubted bitcoin at that time. It's better to forget about the past and focus on the coins we use to invest now.

Actually I have also sold my cheap bitcoin in the past, I really need money at that time so I don't regret it. Because I can still buy again in the following month and benefit from Bitcoin. When Bitcoin was launched, it was cheap and I had time to buy it even though I did not hold it until now, but I was grateful for getting a profit in a few years later.

Well, that was a smart thing to do given that you were in such a position then. But there are the situations when the urgent needs come first, and the main thing here is that you will receive the rewards in bitcoins some time later. The fact that one does not hold all their bitcoins from the beginning is not necessarily bad, betting in and taking advantage of opportunities show good understanding of how to play the cryptographic surface. After all, it is not imperative to always keep long term investments, as long as we are wise when grabbing what comes later on.

of course people who didn't believe or were still doubtful about investing in crypto in the past will regret it now. because the price of BTC has almost touched $70k. But apart from that, all of this is based on doubt because they think about investing in a project that is not yet clear whether it will bring profits. or loss. And of course this profit was only obtained by lucky people in the past

When BTC prices reach this high, regrets can creep in. The decision not to invest is often based on legitimate doubts, especially when dealing with projects that have not been clearly proven to be profitable. Digital assets like crypto were initially viewed as speculative, so it is natural that many people chose to wait and see the results. In the end, the big profits seen now were felt more by those who dared to take risks early, even though at that time there was no guarantee of success.

Great point! It’s a classic case of "the early bird gets the Bitcoin!" Sometimes the loudest voices aren’t the ones to follow, especially when it comes to emerging technologies. It’s all about keeping an open mind and doing your own research. Kudos to you for listening to the right crowd back in 2014! Here’s to trusting your instincts and staying ahead of the curve! 🚀

Everyone who was lucky took risks. Their risk was higher because they were early investors. They never imagined that Bitcoin could be 70 thousand dollars. But today's investors can understand that Bitcoin will be 1 million and will continue to grow in the future. But there are still some investors who will not buy Bitcoin and will regret it again at some point when the price rises. If you want to get rid of this situation, buying bitcoins according to your own ability and holding them for a long time is the right decision.

         -      People are like that, aren't they? They will laugh at you for things that are impossible to happen in their eyes and opinion. But his prediction of 10,000$ actually happened and was even exceeded in 2017 because bitcoin's ATH was more than 20,000$ per bitcoin.

Then now each bitcoin is around 61000$+, where most people expect it to reach 100k$ each bitcoin at the beginning of its bitcoin rally, which others think and expect that it may happen next year.

I have high respect for wealthy men who worked their ways out to the top. But I do not regard them as gods of information to success, especially when it doesn't relate to their field.
We shouldn't take any advice from a wealthy grocery store owner over a crypto investor in the industry. They are only experts in their various fields and for the fact that BTC was relatively new, the technology was totally new to them and that is why many of them made wrong predictions. Information is power and shouldn't be disregarded.
