Yeah, that's one regret that I also hear from the friends of mine that I've shared the talk about Bitcoin. They've been there during the 2017 bull run but made them lousy and tired on 2018 because of the bear market. I guess that's how it works really for those who are staying and believing on it than to just get a quick cash and leave. But no matter what happens, everyone who has seen this market before will and can comeback anytime that they wish to. The past is the lesson that we have to apply for what's coming to us within the nearest future.
I actually never believed that Bitcoin was a get-rich-quick scheme—quite the opposite. Perhaps the reason I quit was because I believed that Bitcoin was over after such a major crash. It was the first time we saw it thriving so rapidly in 2017, surpassing $20,000 in an extremely short period of time and then proceeding to crash back to where it was. I honestly thought it was over. I stuck around for a while but quit after a few months.
I guess the squeeze during that time just made you quit and I've read a lot of thoughts just as yours that made them quit as well. Well, it's understandable when you thought of it that the bull run was over or when it's the entire thing about Bitcoin. It was still considered new IMO by that time because that ATH was just currently an ATH these days.
I wish I was more knowledgeable and wouldn't have quit.
That's okay, you're still here despite that and you've got that lesson to remember and just always think of it whenever you're thinking of quitting again when the times comes just like a few years ago.
