Ngl, I first bought some bitcoin a few years ago too, mostly just to hold and hope for the best, kinda like you. I’ve seen the price go up and down sooo many times, but I never really used it for much besides moving a bit to my hardware wallet when everyone started freaking out about taxes on places like Coinbase. Tbh, I’ve just liked setting some aside and letting it ride, and so far it’s been a pretty solid long-term hold for me.
