Every price Bitcoin has ever been people wished they had held on to their Bitcoin and sell for that price and that picked my interest on this. I can remember vividly 4 years ago my friend was able to own Bitcoin which his father sent to him from Nigeria to Ukraine that was before he came back to Nigeria due to the war. He told me he keeps 30% of the Bitcoin and sell the rest for his upkeep. He sold his $2000 Bitcoin during December 2023 at 25k/1BTC after that year. Early 2025 Bitcoin started increasing, he cried because if he held he would have sold for 50k plus that's double of his initial money. When Bitcoin rose to 100k he also lamented because he didn't have any Bitcoin till now and he wished he never sold.
This got me thinking, is there others like him who kept wishing till now or might forever wished they had never sold their Bitcoin when they had handful of it? What is the solution to let go of the regrets?
I would like a response from everyone so that i can talk to my friend about it.
Op for me the solution to let go of such regret as you narrated, is for your friend to start acumulating the little he can if only he has all it take to do so, let me also be realistic regret remains regret and there's nothing he can do about the past event, the best he could do for himself now is to let go of anything that has happened in the past since he can not reverse time or change what has been written, many people has made this kind of decisions in the past just because of either negligence or lack of understanding of what they have in their possession but what can they do, what has happen has happen so he better concentrate on the future, he has learnt his lessons though it is in a hard way but he shouldn't give up and that shouldn't be the end of road for him in Bitcoin investment after all Bitcoin investment is a continues process with a good long-term concept so I think he shouldn't lose hope rather he start doing the needful little by little with DCA method consistently, I believe he will still achieve whatever he wants in Bitcoin investment but it all depends on his ability to level up his consistency without entertaining any distraction though it will also depend on his source of income.
