The conspiracies that large banks are actively discouraging individuals from investing in Bitcoin. Its a story about the wealthy getting richer while shutting out the rest of society. But dont be too excited. Its time to cut through the distraction and look at the facts, the data, the trends. We must be wise and serious.

Knowledge is and always will be everything. You're doing the right thing by reading up on Bitcoin at learnmeabitcoin.com. But remain skeptical. Never stop asking questions and looking for alternatives viewpoints and sources. Take into account the fact that not all price increases are long-lasting and that not all price decreases are terrible. Only knowledge can save you in this world

I don't have access to my first wallet anymore and I think I wouldn't like to keep digging past history of transactions and wallet's funds, because it must be really depressing and painful to see how much you have already moved around, used for purchases, failed investments and gambling. Better to look only to the present moment and for what is going to happen from now on, aware that mistakes from the past can't happen again.

Honestly after going through my Blockchain wallet which was my first ever wallet used for receivng, accumulating and subsequently selling almost all the Bitcoin due to some expenses needed in those days I do close the wallet immediately to avoid getting worried and blaming myself for the sell of the coin infact those period when it price was still very low, infact it's an experience I don't really like to recount, I had already switched over to another wallet just to avoid checking the past history of my former wallet, though the sold coins was exchanged to fiat and expended on a project which is a physical asset thus I have a little regret for selling my coin.

I think most people will feel the same way, and as they feel now, there will be regrets later and feeling the way we felt before. And things like this are normal events that will happen to any investment, and regret it after seeing the development.
And it will all be a very valuable experience and learning, and even those who are new will feel the same way and we should not feel the same way as them. So we should start as soon as we realize it, and not use it at all, save money, only sell some of the profits if we need it or just enjoy the profits. And those are all the best choices, and continue to buy within your means or do the DCA strategy, and make the past your motivation.

Nostalgic really, and nothing else.

I still pretty much use the same old wallet I had over a couple of years ago, as a safety repository where I keep a portion of my bitcoin earnings, so it's not like I completely ditched it off or whatever. It's practically safe from the internet after all so I don't see any need for me to throw a completely viable and safe method of keeping my money. But yeah everytime I open it I get hit with the sudden feeling of nostalgia, reminding me that years ago this was fat and full, emptied, barely clinging to life as I withdrew most of my assets, and more. It was basically one of the witnesses of my bitcoin journey and I am very happy that I came upon it, had it not been for its secure and well, adequate features I prolly would've quitted using bitcoin years ago.

My very first Bitcoin wallet was a Localbitcoins account wallet, which I've created back in 2015. Localbitcoins had to shut down in February 2023, so there's no way for me to visit and see my first BTC wallet(and there's no point for me to do as well).
There's no point of feeling regret about the Bitcoins, which you have spent in the past. Bitcoin was created with the purpose of being sent and received, not hoarded until the price hits the moon. The current state of BTC is a deviation of it's true purpose. Is there anything written in the original Bitcoin whitepaper about HODLing and waiting for the price to hit another ATH, so could sell and get more fiat money? No!

In the past 3 years or more, I've always been spending the Bitcoins that I get from signature campaigns. Just imagine that, I've been paid weekly thru Bitcoins, but most of them are being converted to our currency, and being used to pay bills, or buy something.

What's considered "a reasonable portion" for you? How much is that? You might have 1 Bitcoin, but you can't consider it as reasonable. On the other hand, you can have 0.01 BTC, and can be considered reasonable. I mean what's important is that, you are keeping a portion of Bitcoins that you are getting. Like what I've said, I've been spending the Bitcoins that I'm getting in signature campaigns for the past 3 years or even more, but the good thing is that, I always keep a week of the Bitcoins that I'm getting, and holding it.

None.

Call me emotionless or whatever, but I don't feel anything at all. Sometimes I had this feeling where I want to add more Bitcoins into that wallet, but aside from that, nothing at all.

We shouldn't live our life on regrets because it'll always have a negative impact and affect the next decision you make, it'll make you second guess the decision you make and that's not always good. Did you use the Bitcoin you had in your first wallet to take care some bills or for other important things. If you use your Bitcoin well, you shouldn't blame yourself because not everyone is in a good position to always saved, now that you're in a good position you can start saving.

It's not late yet, I can't remember the first Bitcoin wallet I used and I'm not sure it'll still be in existence or popular because many Bitcoin wallet get outdated as improved ones are getting developed. In my earliest days of investing, my Bitcoin was used for my schooling.

I don't know what the purpose of your initial wallet check is, but if I'm not mistaken maybe you are observing the number of transactions that have been made through that wallet, so that a very large volume of bitcoin prices comes out if at that time bitcoin is not being sold. Several times I have also experienced something similar, where when I opened my first wallet it looked amazing and if at that time Bitcoin was not sold, maybe at the next ATH the figure would be much bigger.

What is certain is that you are not the only one experiencing this problem and almost many people have experienced that. Regret or whatever is no longer of any use and what we need to do now is how to collect as many bitcoins as possible to use when ATH returns.

I remember first wallet I used was an online wallet and probably coinbase. I knew about crypto currency or specifically about Bitcoins through gambling only. At that time PrimeDice and Bitsler was at huge peak, and I got a recommendation video on Youtube regarding the gambling at both. So I found out about Bitcoins from those videos only, and in order to buy and store Bitcoins I used coinbase. I didn’t transact a lot in the wallet, but yes when I visit the wallet, I feel nostalgic.
