Me too, brother. Missed btc and eth as well. Been biding my time waiting for the next ticket. I chalked eth and btc up to be lessons on pulling the trigger. dont just reduce them to missed opportunities they are more than that if you learn from them.
Please dont see this next part as just a shill: AVAX is the key. Dyor for hours and hours. Immerse yourself in it and youll see it is truly the way up. Give yourself permission to win for once, then never sell an Avax you didnt get from staking. I see alot of myself in how you feel, but I believe in you. I believe in you, and i believe in Avax. https://youtu.be/HN3KSXQ2cAo

barely anyone is going to get rich, ther's 21 millions of them, if btc hits $1millions, then that's just 21 millionaires MAX (there are many whales with 1000 BTC+). It will keep going up over time, because most currency system need to constantly print money to keep the value of the currency even with purchasing power, but with BTC, your purchasing power will simply keep going up over time naturally.

Increases in value are always exponential. Big numbers always look scary, but going from 10,000 to 100,000 is essentially the same as going 100 to 1000. Don't look at individial BTC value, you'll never own 1BTC again.
