COVID 19 didn't really mess things up with Bitcoin, I'll say it merely delayed it, I believe if you weren't thinking more of short-term then you would have realized it. Bitcoin isn't like every other tokens, it's best when you HODL for a long time, you can buy a good number of BTC today and then expect to reap a bountiful harvest next year. Bitcoin investment takes time, it's a long-term investment. I believe you wouldn't say COVID 19 messed things up if you had a little more trust and belief in Bitcoin and held the Bitcoin you bought back then in 3019 till 2023 or 2024.
