Peoples who bought bitcoins on the ALL TIME HIGH peak were those who made minimum research before putting their funds into and they just followed the trend and blindly invested into bitcoins. What would be expected for those? Also, bitcoins have the ability to dump the same manner they pump and it is not really wise to think that bitcoins will skyrockket a never stop. Bitcoins showed us a huge growth in the year 2017 and it was the most highest peak bitcoins ever reached, but also in that year a lot of new individuals/investors were been introduced to bitcoins that is what made them buy bitcoins at that time.
Let those peoples laugh until we see a next such great pump which might have been just started. We can sooner expect the price to reach all time high peak again.
If you buy when everybody else is buying chance is high you are doing it wrong. Its usually too late. FOMO is a bad guide, which often leads to mistakes and even losses.
Why would Bitcoin or any asset pump nonstop and then STAY up? This is absurd. I can accept a steady slowly climb, because production decrease, worldwide demand, and built-in limited production. A bull run is dangerous...
If you followed the advise, don't invest what you cannot afford to lose, and bought at 19k, you would have kept those coins until the day that price is breached. Could take more years, but it doesn't matter, as its not a money you need right now. You never lose until you sell below bought price.
Current price is boring? Maybe current price is good. Keep waiting for the "run", and you will miss it.
