Just like you, I also miss those opportunity to buy when the price was significantly low not because there was no funds but because of the lack of knowledge towards bitcoin or should I say I had a wrong perception of bitcoin, but its was not until the massive growth and awareness of bitcoin in NIGERIA and my locality to be specific that really got me curious toward the trend that is bitcoin and thanks to my curiousity, I have learnt a lot as from the time I was guided to this wonderful forum.
everyone is the same as in this forum, eager to be able to get the first opportunity or at least the next opportunity when the price is really low, but it must be remembered that the low price will differ in determining one from another. because the low price I can get is $ 10K because when I buy I get a price of $ 20K, but it's different from those who buy above $ 25K-$ 30K will say $ 20K is the lowest price, everyone will react differently.
but by continuing to be able to join and provide information to each other, all will be able to develop properly, be able to respond more wisely to bitcoin developments and continue to grow knowledge about bitcoin.
But am still not all that regretful though because of the fact that the price still went low to 16k last year after hitting its ATH in 2021 and I was lead to know and understand that instead of whining I should rather see it as a second chance and a golden oppurtinity to buy btc during last year dip and do what most successful crypto investors do which is to HODL till the prices goes up and significant enough to sell.
in investing in bitcoin there is no need for continuous regret, so that it is understood that bitcoin will continue to grow at any time and there will be a renewable ATH, where we will not regret buying at any price when starting to invest. because every era of the bitcoin halving period will create renewable ATH and everyone who invests will definitely profit, but maybe only the value of the profit will be different.
as long as there is no increase and the halving period occurs, HODL is a highly commendable action to take.
