Think back to the peak of they 2017 hype bubble and recall the dismay of investors who either missed out on buying Bitcoin cheaper, or regretted not buying more of the then skyrocketing crypto asset.
Then the bubble burst, the price of Bitcoin crashed well over 80%, giving crypto investors the chance they had hoped for in buying more at low prices. Now that Bitcoin is back trading above the important level of $6,000, those that missed the bottom will regret not buying back in December or at the start of 2019, and those that did catch Bitcoin lower, like all investors of the crypto asset, they will wish they bought more at the time.
It Doesn’t Matter When You Buy, You’ll Still Wish You Bought More BitcoinBuying Bitcoin at any point of 122 out of 125 months in existence would have led to positive returns for investors in the emerging financial technology with potential to disrupt money as we know it. Only three months has the price of Bitcoin been higher than it is currently, leading to those that bought in during those three months – around the height of the hype bubble – to be in the red.

Those that bought into the cryptocurrency prior to seven years ago, experienced returns beyond 144,000% – gains that are completely unheard of in traditional asset classes. Each year, the percentage of gains diminishes, as the price of the cryptocurrency grows. This further adds to the fact, that anyone who bought Bitcoin in the past, no matter when it was, likely wishes they had taken a bigger position.
