Ugh. I've lost so much potential profit by not being patient and not believing in bitcoin--but I don't dwell on it, since none of us knows what the future holds. And that's the main reason why I don't trade altcoins. The market volatility is insane, and I don't have the stomach to be patient in a market where you could potentially lose literally everything in an instant.
Once I get my debt settled, I'll be buying some bitcoin to hold on to. But no altcoins for me.
Bitcoins development all throughout the year was unexpected by let of the people so it is quite a normal thing to have a doubt on the possible outcome we could have on Bitcoin. If we are going to look at the side and issue bitcoin have in the past we could think that it is normal for us to panic and to have a wrong decion on our transaction. Yet we always need to learn form our mistakes.
