Just because it went up doesn't make it a good investment. Especially as Bitcoin is still more gambling than investment.

Also that you are blindingly listening to others would make you a bad investor. A good investor needs conviction and staying power.

Would you have sold after Bitcoin has crashed from $30 to $2?

That's exactly it. Let's say you bought at $0.01. What are the odds you would have held on until the price per coin hit $10,000? Or $1,000? Or even $100?

It's a bit easier to chill and wait now that we've seen the same boom and bust cycle repeat a handful of times.

Social networks have value thats not measured in traditional cash flow analysis. Thats why its less of a gamble than many think it is.
