I started very small and saw it as my first investment.

So I didn't know that the volatility with -20% drawdowns is not normal, lol. Took me some time to realize that a -5% drawdown in the S&P500 is already news worthy. Had no idea about market caps 'n stuff back then.

Also, I bought bitcoin around the peak early 2018 and then it crashed. The money I had in bitcoin (+ some shitcoins) was in fiat terms so little now that it wasn't even worth it to sell.

So I just hodled by forgetting about it until end of 2020.

I remember that I thought I would sell when I broke even again, but when that happened, I got interested and started to look at bitcoin more closely. Rest is history.
