I had the chance to get in when Bitcoin was at $3 in 2011. I didn't.

But I also don't regret it. Because I also clearly remember that when it hit $9 I thought at the time that if I owned any Bitcoin I would certainly sell now. With the amount I would have invested I could have maybe earned $1k.

But it's foolish to think that you would be rich by now if you just had invested a bit because you can't know when you would have sold them again.

It's strange to think that selling some means selling all. Why wouldn't you have bought some at (say) $10 and sold half of them at (say) $100 and kept the rest? You would have made a tidy profit in dollars and a tidy profit in Bitcoin.
