Yeah probably. People always beat themselves up in these threads as if they would have bought 1,000 BTC at $3, rode it up to $20k/BTC, watched it go back to $3.4k, then let it plunk along for 3 years to get back to $20k, just to see it go on to $65k, then fall to $28k in two months, etc.

That’s not what most people do. It may have started as $6k you could afford to lose, but in a relatively short amount of time you were making and losing over $10 million in a matter of months.
