Nothing matters more than your life, not even Bitcoin.
Those people who faded Bitcoin years back choose survival over unnecessary stress.
Let me agree that life is more precious than any valuable asset. But while we are alive, it is important to take advantage of opportunities to make life better. Bitcoin was a viable investment that could change the financial status of early adopters. The coin was sold for less than a dollar, infact some people got it via airdrop. I don't know where the stress of hodling Bitcoin is coming from. All you needed was to keep it safe in a wallet and wait for it to increase in price.
I am grateful for being alive today, but life would have been better if I were part of the first set of Bitcoin hodlers. However, I don't have time to regret because it is worthless. Bitcoin still has great opportunities that I can still take advantage of. So my path is to keep accumulating and hodling until I get to my target.
