Following the messages related to a topic about BTC purchases, I noticed that many users were hodlers and had never bought anything in BTC, but perhaps early adopters regret their past purchases? In the case of Laszlo Hanyecz (purchase of two pizzas for 10,000 btc in 2010), he said he had no regrets because it helped raise awareness of Bitcoin and promote its use as a currency.

What about you? Do you regret past purchases?

He have no regrets but deep down he is pained, trust me.

If you want to promote using Bitcoin as means of payment option you don't have to use 10,000 BTC, there are whales from those times and they held, even if you have a lot you don't have to spend everything, always leave something behind.

I don't believe him for anything, because with 5000 BTC today he will be living like a king with his family, so him saying he has no regret is a big fat lie, even a 0.2 BTC been spent in a store is doing the same job as spending 10,000 BTC, now he is talking as if he did the world a favour.

This is a costly lesson that everyone must learn from, when it comes to digital asset they are good for making payment but don't spend all, because they are also good for long term holding, don't be a fool.

I might believe you if you knew how many BTC he has in total, how many he has left today, and what his philosophy on life is.

If the 10,000 Bitcoin was a small fraction of the total, it clearly means nothing to him. If he's otherwise happy with his life (positive thinking isn't related to money or possessions), why would he lie about his past purchases?

You see things from your own perspective, but your reality is not universal.
