The dream you have about Bitcoin will never be realized. Because Bitcoin is completely different from Altcoins. Those who bought Bitcoin bought it consciously. If ever the price of Bitcoin decreases, it will recover quickly, even if for a short time, because the demand for Bitcoin is very high. When the price decreases, investors start buying with more enthusiasm. So there is no chance of its price decreasing. The trend of Altcoins is completely different. After a big price increase of those coins, it returns to the bottom again.
OP's dream can still come true because bitcoin is a volatile asset, it can go up from 100% to 1000%, it wouldn't be strange if it went down 80% and this has happened many times in the past.
During bear season Bitcoin always gets dumped and if I remember correctly, the last bear season was 2022, Bitcoin also dropped more than 75% if you count from the ATH of $69k and the lowest bottom of $15k. But what matters is if the market cycle repeats and the bear season comes and bitcoin gets dumped again. Will OP and those waiting for cheap bitcoin dare to buy or will they run away in panic?
Like now, bitcoin is also down more than 20% if counted from the highest ATH and can be considered a significant drop, but does OP dare to buy or is he starting to get scared?
