I was just learning how to run a node at that time. I remember vividly riding that wave from sub $1k to $20k back to $3k so well. My conviction never dipped though, because I was learning more and more every day and seeing how Bitcoin just kept working day after day regardless of the market panicking.

Such an exciting time! I was in the red for most of that next cycle but I've never been in the red since. I think all Bitcoiners have to go through something similar to test their metal and make sure they learn to focus on education, not trying to get rich quick.
