Let's say that in late 2017, a mid-30s guy making $30k per year made the biggest mistake by investing right near the top of the 2017 price run, and he spent 1/3 of his then investment portfolio on bitcoin.. so he took $19k out of his then $60k investment portfolio and he bought 1 bitcoin with that $19k and then he left the other $41k in his investment portfolio, and so then maybe thereafter he has been investing into bitcoin at about $100 per week, and so over the past 7.5 years, he invested about an additional $39.3k into bitcoin and he got an additional 2.91 bitcoin, so his total investment into bitcoin is right around $58.3k into bitcoin with 3.91 bitcoin, and that 3.91 BTC would have a 200-WMA value of about $192k and a spot price value of about $419k.  Surely not a bad place to be, and he might even be able to reach some variations of fuck you status within another 4-year cycle or maybe a bit longer of buying bitcoin, even if he merely continues with $100 per week investing into bitcoin... he figures that he might be able to get up to 4.5 bitcoin in the next 4-6 years, depending on if he might be able to invest more into bitcoin or just staying at $100 per week.

This guy is doing fine based on his income and his level of aggressiveness in buying bitcoin (which was relatively high), even though he started buying bitcoin at or near the top of the 2017 market including lump sum buying near the top of the 2017 BTC price.  The guys is doing even better because he was buying bitcoin as he went along, even though he also did have a relatively bad (not so good) BTC purchase towards the top of the 2017 market and that top purchase did bounce in and out of the red (but spent a lot of time in the red)for about 5-ish years.
