I asked 1,000 crypto investors one simple question:
**“What’s your biggest regret?”**
And the responses? Eye-opening. Let’s break it down 👇
Over the past two weeks, I ran a poll and had DMs flowing in from over 1,000 people across X, Telegram, and Reddit. Here are the **top 5 regrets** shared by real investors:
1. **“I sold #Bitcoin at \$900”**
Early crashes triggered emotional exits — a reminder that *time in the market beats timing the market*.
2. **“I didn’t take profits in the 2021 bull run”**
One person watched their \$250K portfolio shrink to \$14K. Greed kills. Have an exit plan.
3. **“I ignored #Ethereum when it was \$30”**
Many brushed ETH off as just another altcoin. Narratives can change *fast*.
4. **“I followed the wrong influencers”**
Hype-driven projects led to rug pulls. They didn’t do their own research — and paid the price.
5. **“I never learned DeFi”**
A whole world of passive income, LP rewards, and real yield slipped through their fingers.
✅ If you’re still early in the game, these lessons can be your edge.
