This is so true, I have a friend who was constantly texting me about bitcoin for years. So I finally bought in last fall. Fortunately, the timing was good and the 0.27 bitcoin I bought basically doubled in about a month.
I sold half and kept half.
Yes, traded in and out some but have given up about 7K in paper gains.
My intuition told me to sell the week before Musk started his pot stirring.
Holding for now. It’s not even 0.25% of net worth so in some ways like a partial lottery ticket.
