The risk was very high and it looked likely that Bitcoin will fail soon.

Those who were really lucky were those paid in bitcoins or mined bitcoins very early on then forgot about their bitcoins

Or those who understood the technology behind it, believed that there are no other serious options to replace it, and thought there was very little chance that it will fail, and a bug chance that it will take off and replace much of the financial system. There are quite a few of us who thought the concept of "cashing out" of bitcoin made as much sense as "cashing out" of dollars.

By the way, how many people have 100% of their savings invested in dollars, or euros?

You can think of a solution to replace Bitcoin but it is not there and Bitcoin has a size that matters : if you want to safely and anonymously transfer hundreds of thousands or millions you need Bitcoin.
