Instead, if you bought bitcoin at its high back in december 2017, after just 3 years you'd be forgiven your mistakes..
but, surprisingly, they are right until now..
and, I'll admit, that makes me a little mad ..

This kind of pattern is what make cryptocurrency different kind of trade. You can hodl a coin in its bear continuously until it picks again without losing its unit even when you are hodling in your wallet. Those who bought at the last ATH in 2017 and felt bad of bear are all having a new story today.
