This time I not making the same mistake again and missing out on the bear market: My biggest regret was not buying in early 2020

In early 2020 BTC hit an insane low around 3k and I was suddenly interested. I had some money to spare and life was pretty boring during that time. The only problem: The KYC on Kraken. Many of you will remember that in the past you had to take a picture of yourself while holding up a piece of paper with a message on it. The message usually included the date and your name. After many attempts I finally gave up and did not try any further. Of course this is my biggest crypto regret but I have learned from it.

Now I feel lucky that I have the opportunity to invest during a bear market. Obviously the prices are not at the 2020 level. Still I feel great that I am taking the opportunity to buy during the bear market and I feel confident that this is the right decision. This time I am not missing out and I will not be repeating the mistakes of the past.

Funny story: In late 2020 I received an email from Kraken that they changed their verification process and I was now accepted and free to trade. By then BTC had already gone up strongly and felt like Kraken was trolling me.
