I watched bitcoin in late 2017 as a pure investment, Like the stocks I had been buying my whole life. Pure fiat mindset. I thought I was clever not buying the top and jumped in at 15k. I never sold that first stash, but I ignored it until the covid thing in early 2020. Looking back, my traditional investing mindset was a problem. I missed the 2018 bear market, and I missed the early 2020 covid crash too. I was focused on my fiat investments.
Many such cases. I was always a bit of a gold bug and that helped me because I never sold physical gold only stacked more. I just ported that mindset over to bitcoin. Still hold my gold and silver but don't buy anymore.

Identical here re gold and silver. Another example that I was really meant to be Canadian:
Always bought the Maple Leafs over the Eagles. Nicer coin
