We've all made mistakes, don't beat yourself up In my case I don't even want to check my old wallets and exchanges because I'm sure I thrown away too much money on useless shitcoins... I mean, not all the time, but for sure I could have spent way better that money/bitcoin. But at least we're still in the game, there are people who simply sold everything for a few hundreds bucks, that would be way worse for me.

Op this your story does not look nice with me, you join or use bitcoin because you wanted make cross boarder transaction or payment? To pay what and in which platform? And till now you still have that misconception of bitcoin by saying that bitcoin create wealth. Bitcoin is normal money for online and just like the fiat money we use every day. People can be bankrupted by bitcoin and we have seen it in the industry from several people. And that only difference between the fiat and bitcoin, bitcoin is decentralized but fiat is not, bitcoin appreciate in value but the fiat is not. Op I will want you to remove this mindset of bitcoin create wealth in the future because you might be disappointed from that thinking. And the way you said, make you to join bitcoin is not clear for me. Another question I will like to ask is, which work are you doing?

OP, you're not alone. Literally, all of us missed the opportunity when Bitcoin was nothing. We never knew it was going to be something now. But are we going to keep complaining about missing out in that early stage? The answer is No. For me, I still see the opportunity to get Bitcoin. Is not yet at $60k. Been using Dual Investment on it. When the price goes down it will take on that. You know we need to plan ahead as well

In the past year, I have invested in Bitcoin probably starting around 2017 when I was just a student I did not really have money to invest at that time so I needed to make some side hustle in order to make investments, It was really depressing as well seeing I started when Bitcoin it was only around 400$ as far as I remember, So probably I did make a good amount of money if I really just invested in cryptocurrency that time, The thing here is I just end up selling my small investment that time because my mindset wasn't really right that time since I just wanted to make profit and spend it to my wants not thinking for my future.

But now I have started accumulating again after the last Bullrun when the market dropped and I did learn my lesson last time, now that I have multiple income streams I can easily hold my Bitcoin and I already accumulate a good amount of Bitcoin investment in my wallet,  I keep in track of my spending and hoping I will be able to invest more in the future not making the same mistake I did in my past years. So in my coming Bullrun, I can sure earn a huge profit.

What's there to be depressed about? Like you said, you had to use it to make cross border transactions because there were lots of restrictions on your country. You should be happy because you were able to use bitcoin the way it was meant to be used. And don't regret looking at your wallet. You need to learn to move on from the past. And you aren't the only one here. I am sure 99% of the regular bitcoin users would also regret if they look at their wallets now. So instead of regretting, invest more, save what you can and spend the rest like always.

I'm looking at it every day since I'm still keeping it in OWNR wallet. I never sold any BTC so I don't have any regrets, I just wish sometimes I bought more when it was cheaper, but I suppose everyone feels that sometimes.

I remember when bitcoin was $50K. I found some old wallets with like 0.00015BTC or 0.00025BTC and I decided after like 8 years to finally spend this dust.

When bitcoin was $200. I would just round the balances because it was worth very little back then so if I had 1.00015 BTC, I would just send the 1 BTC because it wasn’t worth typing in the rest since it was worth like a penny.

Even did this with ETH and LTC which also exploded in price.

I feel same, but it's ok, I'm still glad I was relatively early. I think I had my first Bitcoin wallet on blockchain.info and the address there starts with my online alias, '1Libert', I kinda find it unique. I still have that wallet, although I don't actively use it anymore, due to well it's blockchain.info  


Laszlo has literally got himself etched into Bitcoin history with this pizza purchase. He's got something to cheer about.

Again when the Bitcoin journey started I was not that well experienced and did not have a good knowledge about Bitcoin. In the past I have not been able to accumulate bitcoins due to lack of good knowledge, completed many transactions during that time but never tried to hold on to the investment and lacked patience. But as much as I know about Bitcoin now and what I will get in the future I will definitely keep my Bitcoin as an asset that will help me a lot in the future. Investing in Bitcoin with an initiative to avoid making the mistakes of the past will be a really interesting one. bitcoin is a resource that helps fulfill a person's plans in the future. Although I have wasted a lot in the past but now I will try to accumulate those wastes which can lead me to a better position in the future this virtual asset Bitcoin.

you should not feel depressed mate because you clearly mentioned that
the onlyreason why you used Bitcoin in the past is to use as cross boarder  sending money
meaning there is nothing in your mind to even Held a small amount leaving in your wallet.
but what made me think is that how long have you been into crypto that you did not realized the value of holding?
because year after year if we stay in this forum , we will see how the best way to treat bitcoin and that is to Hold ,but since you used all the funds in your wallet meaning you care nothing in the past?
