I knew of ETHEREUM when it was pennies on the dollar and was so stupid that I didn't buy at the time a few thousand to keep for a better day. So many people have become very wealthy just because they bought ETH when it was dirt cheap. I don't know now if there is any chance to make that kind of wealth again in the Cryptosphere. I personally think those days are over now and those huge gains were made by the early adopters who just bought a few bags and then saw their investment skyrocket. I believe though the technology is here to stay and maybe in the future, we might have some good projects off of the Ethereum network that might make a few people happy financially, but it's those who invested in ETH early, who are the real winners here. At least we can congratulate their foresight at least if anything.
Yes unfortunately we miss investing in some excellent get-rich opportunities such as Ethereum and sometimes invest in fraudulent projects instead.
It is all part of the learning process.
i remember a friend of mine telling me back then to buy eth and price was between $10-$15 there about and i said to him - that coin already too expensive to invest on he should forget about it and buy something cheaper..... Damn! if only i could see future or have a time travel machine, but now it feels there are no such great project that are cheap to invest on, 2017 was really a great year for those who took full advantage of it, hope we can see better years ahead.
I ctually bought eth at 13$ but since i am afraid i only bough 1 pcs of eth . and im not able to get rich with only 1 pcs . i wish i investt all my money that time and sell it in 2017 .
Hindsight is a bitch alright. I had 300 ETH bought in the ICO, I sold all around $3 each and I thought I was a genius with all that 600% profit. And then years later on even with this Ethereum downtrend, I wish I waited for much longer.
At that time you were a genius for taking such huge profit, am sure some people did not patient enough to sell at $3 from ico, even if you didn't sell at $3 you would have probably sell at $10 - $12 you can resist it,
But if any reason there are still people hodling eth since from ico (which I highly doubt) they are the real genius here, going through all that temptation and not sell.
Agreed with you it seems really someone is still holding this coin since the ICOs. Everyone is here to make profit in short time of period and that is the reality of this world. If someone took huge profit than no need to regret for it.
