This doesn't affect me personally because I consider my old transaction a push in order to have this great success in the crypto industry. if weren't for those transactions we have back then, we wouldn't even talking all these things here or they might even be ignored or forgotten because it won't survive if those transactions never happen. Right now, all I can do is just continue doing the things I want which is buying low and selling high and a little bit of trading as well, in that way I'm still getting some decent amount of income whenever the price gets back to its ATH.
If we laughed at and criticized those who chose iPhones over bitcoin many years ago, we should also laugh at those who sold bitcoins for 1 thousand dollars or Laszlo Hanyecz who spent 10 thousand bitcoins to buy 2 Pizza. we should even regret spending so much in the past because if we had let that money invest in bitcoin we would all have become rich. I've seen so many threads about this meme in recent days that I really find this a pointless and tasteless comparison because the future is unpredictable.
I somehow understand the people who sold their BTCs for a handful of relatively cheaper items (e.g. pizza, iPhones, etc.) given the state and nature of BTC during that time. But with all the recent developments, news, and breakthroughs that BTC had evolved, people should consider its potential and opportunity in HODLing it for long-term.
At this time, it is highly recommended for people to HODL and at least invest it for either short or long-term. Given its price history index, that is proof that the trend of the price is to increase especially during forks.
