Of course - that's why they always compare past prices with current prices. If they are optimistic about the future - then they shouldn't complain and they should just focus more on accumulating bitcoin whenever they have the budget. The market will continue to fluctuate and they can always take advantage of that to accumulate - not only them, you and I can always do the same as long as we feel that we haven't accumulated enough bitcoin.
Being trapped in nostalgia is good if we just want to see the price journey rather than seeing and comparing whether the price used to be cheap and now expensive. It is common where the market will always fluctuate but once again it is not an obstacle if the initial ideal comes to continue accumulating BTC and this is also caused by the desire to get more BTC where our position still feels insufficient to continue adding and owning these potential assets but if it is felt to be enough that is another version.
