I think about all the people that sold BTC when it peaked at $27k or something like that and in the next 8 months or so it slipped to nearly $2k. The people who panic sold during that time have a lot of regrets today, that's for sure.
I also know people that thought it would be a good idea to get involved when the meteoric rise to $60k or whatever it was, was going on. They have a lot of regrets as well. As a HODLer, I never suffer these things but who knows what the future holds!
Oh, I know. Can you imagine? I have thought about that many times myself as well. I've thought a lot about how I wish I had sold everything into Tether back in December of 2017, then bought back in months later. I've made the comment before that if I had done this, I could have been one of the biggest whales on Hive as well as having huge bags in BTC and ETH. But that is in the past now.
I was really worried about people at that time. I was really feeling that it was the top at the time, but everyone was screaming about BTC going to a million dollars. It is amazing how the hype can get. I was desperately trying to talk people out of buying DOGE when Elon pumped it but my older son bought some. I don't know how much, but I hope it wasn't a lot.
I have gotten a lot better in this regard. There was a time when I would freak out and sell at the worst time. But if there weren't people like me, then there wouldn't be other who made a lot of money buying my coins.
