Crypto however has not. It has spent a comparatively tiny fraction of its time at ATH as one would expect for a speculative bubble. In fact, it spent the last 3 years way below its ATH.
But the ATH increases often. Yes it crashes from these peaks, but never to below the starting point. Bitcoin bought anytime and held for a sufficient length of time would have always made money. If you can hold it for 5+ years you will make money.
