I hear this phrase a lot these days, even from people who are just getting started with Bitcoin. But let's be honest: For 99% of people, that simply doesn’t reflect reality. 🛑
The Psychological Factor & Selling Too Early
Anyone who bought Bitcoin at €1 would, in all likelihood, not have held on until it reached €60,000 or €100,000.
Here’s a simple example: Imagine you had invested 1,000 € back then (1,000 BTC). If the price rises to 10 €, you suddenly have €10,000 in your account. Who would just let that sit there, with such a new asset, when the media is simultaneously talking about a bubble?
The reality: Almost everyone would have sold in a panic once the price doubled, quintupled, or—at the latest—during the first brutal -80% crash. To actually lock in a return like that back then, you needed nerves of steel, or you really had to be a die-hard Bitcoin believer even back then—or you simply had to have forgotten your password. 😉
At €1, Bitcoin was a high-risk experiment with an uncertain outcome. Today, we’re buying an established, global asset with clear regulation and institutional infrastructure. While those who buy today pay more, they’re investing in a far more secure and mature network.
A look at the current status quo:
- Institutional Adoption: Major asset managers (e.g., BlackRock via ETFs) are invested. Bitcoin has arrived in the traditional financial system.
- Governments hold BTC: More and more countries are using Bitcoin as a strategic reserve currency.
- Long History & Network Security: BTC has survived every market cycle, the network is more secure than ever, and global adoption is growing steadily.
🔥 The days of strong returns are NOT over—they’re just beginning!
Anyone who thinks they’ve missed the boat is sorely mistaken. We’re just at the beginning of a bull market that has the potential to generate massive returns again over the next few years.
Conclusion—What can we learn from this?
Looking in the rearview mirror gets you nowhere. Instead of lamenting the perfect entry point that’s already passed, it’s best to rely on DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging).
An automated, monthly, or weekly savings plan takes the emotion out of it—no matter where the price stands right now. And maybe it’s simply better to hold onto your Bitcoin rather than sell everything at the first available opportunity.
What do you think?
Would you have, or did you actually stick with it all the way through to today, or would you have hit the “sell” button as soon as it doubled in value?👇💬
