What is Your Biggest Crypto Regret?
Hi Friends,
Anyone who has been in the crypto space for even a small period of time will usually have their own share of war stories. I'm curious to hear what is your biggest crypto regret when it comes to either buying or selling at the wrong time?
For me... it was buying Bitshares at $.50 (currently at $.03) right at the height of the 17 run. I still have love in my heart for that decentralized exchange and think the offer a great service... but I'm sure hoping the price improves in the next alt season. No offense Steem... but selling some SBD when it ran higher than $15 would have been nice too. 😅😂
I posed this question on Twitter yesterday and got some interesting responses... and so I thought it would be fun to continue the conversation here on Steem!
When you are hodling for the long run... these crypto regrets tend to even out over time - but they can still hurt!
So what is your worst war story when it comes to buying or selling at the wrong time?
Biggest regret was texting all my friends to buy bitcoin when it was somewhere between $40 - $120 and not following my own advice. fk! lol
Oooh that hurts!! 😅
yep
Probably mining Expanse instead of Ethereum, turned out to be a shit coin, lol. Another was buying IOTA - one day that fucking stuff had just disappeared from my wallet, because of... reasons, I still don't know. In Reddit they shill the advantageous technology of tangle, but if I can't trust my stuff staying in the wallet, then what the hell? 🤷♀️
At least it wasn't too much money.
Another slight regret was buying Steem at $5, however, that mistake I'm going to make up for soon and buy when the price is actually low. loading the bullet

Yikes!! That’s totally a big deal. 😬
Here’s to hoping that your Steem investment pays off! If we hit five dollars again, we are all going to be partying! 🍻
Speaking of that, are you going to Bangkok? I’m in need of a dried fruit supplier for the trip. 😂
@celestal will never escape his dried fruit reputation! 😁
@driedfruit will follow me forever.
Yup, have my plane tickets purchased already. You'll get some if I manage to smuggle my fruit through the security at the airport, lol!

I’ve always been suspicious of IOTA.

Yes, but Pillar? Unbelievably bad pick!

Having gotten in super early and earned 1 BTC trough trading I could do nothing at the time with only having long lost the address and keys to that wallet then rediscovering crypto through Steem and not being able to sell 🤦♂️
Holding steem for too long lol

Such a great question. I just regret always being late to the party. I wish I had found Steem a year before. And Bitcoin a year before that. But I didn’t have any real awareness of cryptocurrency until about two years ago. The ship had pretty well sailed and Steem was starting it’s current decline. But I still think it will have its day!
Mine would have to be leaving crypto on an exchange that was hacked and I lost a about $2500
which one?
It was a local exchange here in South Africa called coindirect they had a a bug with their 2FA and the hacker got access to my account and emptied me out
Not joining Steem in 2017 when I heard about it. I missed the ATH craze o.O
aww yeah those were the days... it was so fun on here! Everything was buzzing and there were so many people. I miss those days and hope we get back there!
bought #dash 700$ a coin in order to participate in a masternode share service.
Back in the days, when Bitcoin was really cheap, I did not buy it because I did not have online banking and I was too lazy to go to my bank to make a transfer. That was a really big mistake. Follow and Upvote!
I moved from BTC into STEEM about a month early. If I'd held off a little longer I'd have twice as much STEEM now. Hashrate Death Spiral FUD got me.
Rough!! It's always hard to look back and realize how much more coin you could have gotten. I'm kicking myself for not buying more $3500-5000 BTC... but what can ya do?
No regrets, only learnings of this new space! I used to stay not buying Steem under $1 but here we are! Learn from experience!

Biggest Crypto regret? Spending hours and hours on writing high-quality posts here on Steem when others post some pics or questions and earn multiple $ with it.
If the dog hadn't stopped to poop in the woods, it would have caught the rabbit.
Meaning: I will not have regrets for decisions made where the future outcome was completely unknown.
Love that!! It's all just learning moments.
