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.
Most of Bitcoin holders have this kind of mindset."Why will I use Bitcoin to purchase something online when I have Paypal account to pay it? Why will I use Bitcoin to purchase something offline if I have fiat cash in my hand? Why will I use something that's growing in value in purchasing things? I would rather hold it hoping to make money in the long run"
We can't blame those kind of people because I would do the same as well. It's the opposite for me though... or at least I'm spending a portion of the satoshis that I'm getting to buy something that I need or I want. As for Laszlo using 10,000 BTC to purchase 2 pizzas in 2010, he might've said that he has no regrets, but at some point in time, he felt regret for sure, and he will feel even more as the price of Bitcoin increases.
What about you? Do you regret past purchases?
I would be a hypocrite if I say no. Like what I said, I've been using some Satoshis to buy something I need or want, and I feel regret, but at the end of the day, it's my choice to use it because... I just want to use it.
