 I got in literally the last day of 2020, and purchased as high as 57k before it dropped to 17k. 
Don't know that I was quite that bold as it was my first major dip after seeing it rise to 68k, so it was 'uncomfortable' but where else would I go at that point? 
Price goes up, price goes down, but what it IS doesn't change.

 Not sure if your religious or not but that’s a spiritual story imo. 
Im not a particularly lucky guy but my story is very similar.

 Absolutely! (I think most things in life are spiritual journeys!) 
I am VERY hesitant to compare anything in any way to Jesus, but in this case I keep thinking of the story where Jesus asked his apostles if they were going to leave, and they basically responded 'to whom would we go?? You have the words of life'.
BIG difference between the words of life, and the coin of value retention, but what else is there that I can use to protect my value, and NOT feel like shit about it. Apple stock? So they can get more slave labor in china? US government bonds? 
There simply is NOTHIGN else that is as good or as "good".
