With bitcoin you could have bought back in at $3500-6000 and rode it back up in March of 2020, and had a bigger bag in the process (or the same bag plus a bunch of cash). Granted things were really scary then. I'm the even bigger dummy. I held through that $18k peak and crash in 2018, and still held through the $68k peak and crash last year. Still holding, but could have made way more if I had sold even a piece of it when it hit my target ($54k) instead of waiting for the $100k everyone kept promising was definitely going to happen based on previous cycles. Oops.

My gut said sell at 69k or even much before. I 100% knew 100k was impossible. Truly I expected 75k or so. But I listened to the shills. Key lesson -- if a shill has good information, take the information. But make your own decision at the end of day. How it fits into your mid/long term goals etc.

  Honestly I was expecting 75-80k myself, and was planning to sell a good chunk then (up to 50%). The 100k I was a little less sure about. But it didn't even get that far. Dropped almost immediately after getting to its ATH, which usually doesn't happen. The world had to shit the bed and take it down with it before that.

    Not OP, but I believe the answer is "on nothing". There is no way to know where it will go. It's just supposition and very specific numbers like this make me cringe hard.

That’s my conclusion after a bunch of losses that could have been gains (not in btc): ease in and out rather than trying to time the market and buy/dump all at once.
