This is the risk we are saying involve in the investment of bitcoin. you bought those coins when the market was booming in 2021 and was thinking that the price would go up but you got the disappointment and the price could not recovered till this year. And that is also why we asked people to invest in long term and not short term. What happened to you will still happen to some people this time because when bitcoin hit $73k and dropped a little bit and stayed there for some time so people were eager to invest when the price and thinking that the price will hit &70+k again but the price is decreasing the more.

Since when the price reduce in 2021, it is this year 2024, it recovered back and that means the OP has waited for a enough time. Most of the altcoins also did well early this year before all reduce.
