You're welcome, although you can be sure that many don't share my opinion and consider paying with crypto as something that doesn't make sense because it will be worth a lot more in the future, or because the fees have become too high (which is true if someone doesn't know how to set correct fee). For most people, investing in crypto is just an instrument by which they plan to make a profit - I believe that more than 50% of people have never experienced anything more than buying/selling crypto through an exchange.

Not to get me wrong, I’m also a long-term holder - but I combine that with regular crypto payments that give me some financial freedom from the existing financial system - which always feels good.

When you think about the past where bitcoins value is very cheap, don't feel regret instead just smile because you experience to spend bitcoin back then without any hesitation. Now, bitcoin is like gold, if you have it, you don't want to lose it instead hold it tight and wait for the next ATH.

Not really familiar with Minecraft but presuming someone actually thought the aged account was worth $5 then, they might have built the account even further by now, maybe it's actually worth a lot more than $1000 the BTC held would have been? I never got into this psyche of buying and selling gaming accounts but I do recall having been offered some money for an old Utopia account (if anyone actually played this, quote this and share memories haha).

Still, good find. Not a pizza find but a good one nevertheless.

Stop comparing the price back years ago to the price here today .

because if that will happen today who the hell will buy for that 1k amount?

Actually if you will use to buy a House in my country ? that would be a very luxurious House amounting 120k Usd.

I think a lot of people maybe experience that things. Like my friend who sell 1 bitcoin and still not enough yet to buy a motorcycle. In past maybe only a few people who know bitcoin will get really high like price nowadays. And who already sold their coins i think don't need to regret much because that only make us suffer.

That must have hurt seeing that, but let's get this straight, if we keep the attitude of not spending any BTC (Or any other crypto) in hopes or in an effort of preserving its value, we'll never convert it to fiat/cash out. Thus, we'll keep holding coins that we'll never actually use for any in real life purpose.

Almost everyone that uses BTC as a mode of payment in the early years has the same experience.  I was using BTC for the payment of my electricity bills since 2015, everyday needs, and other stuff through a payment gateway.  So I think there is nothing special about this one or worth regretting since we spend our BTC on what its value that time.  And if ever BTC plummet to worthlessness today, I am sure you will be jumping with joy thinking that you bought that account for almost fee.

I have felt the same way when I paid my friend with bitcoin at that time the price of bitcoin was still cheap and now I take another look at the tx and I am surprised to see the nominal amount I am paying now

Early adopters of bitcoin that lost their hard drives are feeling the same way too. Imagine throwing away a dirt cheap, almost novelty item 5-6 years ago, only to find out that it's worth at least someone's entire house mortgage years later? Even I didn't anticipate something like this happening. I just pass things off like this as a stroke of luck I wasn't able to get, and continue investing in it because with bitcoin, you're never late to the party. So long as you're investing, or have invested and held your bitcoins, then you should be good.

Yeah, I've had a similar experience, not with game purchases, but with many other things. When I only started using Bitcoin all my transactions were made through Blockchain wallets and a couple of months ago I was reviewing my transactions and scrolled way down and I was quite surprised when I saw many of them worth more than $10k. But then I figured out how this happened and felt somewhat sad because of all those expenditures and kind of wished I kept that money
