Looking at this from another angle, I certainly agree with you.
People that sold their bitcoin has been criticized enough even though we can see the green light they missed. It doesn't just necessarily mean they didn't think it through or didn't have anything to do at that point. It all boiled than to accessing their options and probably making one of the key decisions of their life. Its just like few years from now a different generation mocking us for sticky with bitcoin while there is something different which they know.
