That really sucks for your friend. I bought at 50k as well back in 2021, a very small amount of 70 USD just go have it in my portfolio, and seeing it finally go back to green is a nice feeling.
I guess the funny question is, is he going to buy BTC? We are getting close to the halving, and history shows it goes higher after that.
He never saw it! 2.5 years, missed it by a week....
I feel that he is done. But, hopefully he will change his mind.
Yeah, that's a heartbreaker. Maybe the dip before the halving would be his best chance if he ever decides to come back.
