, I must admit I still regret not starting my Bitcoin earlier.
What will be the benefit of your regret? You made mistakes in the past but don't make mistakes now. In fact, we have to learn from mistakes, if you can't correct yourself yet, then you will have to regret again in the future. So you should not regret, but focus on the future and continue to invest in Bitcoin. However, we can say that we are still in the initial stage, because the price of Bitcoin will not remain stable here, the price of Bitcoin will increase a lot in the future. If you start investing now and can hold for 10-12 years, you can profit a lot. Those who have succeeded in investing in Bitcoin must have held for a long time, to be profitable by investing in Bitcoin, you have to invest for a long time. So don't regret, if you start investing now, you will feel happy in the future.
Well it is possible that there would be no remedy to make up for the regrets, mistakes are normal in life, but what would be more important is trying to move on from that mistakes and make up for the opportunity missed by investing in Bitcoin and accumulating aggressively when the opportunity presents itself to do it more aggressively and also trying to be careful so we don't over do it that it will affect our Bitcoin portfolio, definitely there will be limit to a level we can get to be making our investment aggressive, but we should also understand that we've to know our limit depending our our level of discretionary income, and sometimes we might also think of increasing our discretionary income to be more aggressive in accumulation, like we can decide to cut off some expenses that might not be that necessary, like for example we can decide to reduce some expenses that goes to alcohol and cigarettes and instead of buying some expensive clothe, and clubbing we can actually decide to cut off some of that expenses and generate more discretionary income from there. Which is very important in this stage of accumulation.
It is normal to make mistakes in every life, because if you don't make mistakes, you will never learn. You can learn something from wherever you make mistakes. Now if we make the same mistakes again and again, then we are drowning in a sea of fools. Yes, some bad habits should be abandoned. As you mentioned, alcohol and cigarettes are harmful to health, you should not put yourself in danger by consuming them unnecessarily. If you give up such bad habits and focus on investing in Bitcoin, it will be much better. There are still many who live a luxurious life, they should be frugal and save as much money as possible and invest in Bitcoin. Now don't invest all your money, and don't be so aggressive, try to invest according to your ability, you should save an emergency fund for urgent needs. Because danger can come at any time, if you have an emergency fund, it will not affect your investment.
Yes you are right, it is more better to invest only what you can afford, and if you are truly investing what you can afford, you wouldn't have to let go of smoking or drinking just because you are investing in Bitcoin, those are fun thing to do if you are a smoker or you drinks, it's only when you are investing above your means that you will be stopping things you see as fun just to meet up to your investment expectations.
So what am trying to say is that as long as you are investing according to the level of your discretionary income you will be very ok, and you wouldn't have to stop things you sees as fun because you want to invest in Bitcoin.
