I think bitcoin is past the skepticism around it's survival, we recently passed the ten year anniversary if the bitcoin whitepaper and it has grown and matured as a currency over that time.
I invested in crypto late 2017 and just don't feel like selling currently

Well no one would want to sell for a loss.
It's rather unlucky you bought at the peak.
But there is so much potential for growth, but you have to Hodl to benefit.
