Okay so I saw bitcoin early days because a competitor site owner briefly offered it as a payment method for their products. I thought this cryptocurrency will never work because it will either 1). get regulated / shut down, or 2). never be accepted by the general populous.
Neither of these happened and finally I bought a diversified holding of £10,000 in 2019 to hedge against future pain. I still have this holding untouched including 1 btc and have no plans to sell it until I am sure it has hit full critical mass or goes to zero.
My question: Should I just forget about bitcoin now and go back to my business?
First of all, I think you shouldn't forget bitcoin, you made a huge profit. It is just that you are not knowledgeable enough about its intrinsic history and are hesitant and skeptical about bitcoin. Remember, bitcoin is an achievement that makes life more productive. Bitcoin will never return to zero. Finally, you can explore the space of bitcoin, but simple jobs such as trading, investing ... You can still choose other businesses outside of society to "take short and long." Bitcoin always produces passive returns in ways that you would never expect.
