For me I don't remember the price, but block reward was 25 BTC. Whats your story ?
I found bitcoin when its price is only $4.5k USD in 2016, and I didn't expect it to spike in 2017 to reach $19.7 USD which is nearly a $20k USD. Imagine how that bitcoin went up that fast and that time, I know that most holders are celebrating and seizing the moment where the bitcoin really reach its highest price in its history.
Many people grab the opportunity to convert it into fiat because the price was extremely high that time and no one is expecting that for the bitcoin to reach that certain amount. Now, we're still hoping for he bitcoin's price to reach that again. We just need to be patient and monitor how bitcoin moves in the market because of its volatility.
