Well, if you have the power to go back in time and change your decision to buy BTC, you might as well also go back in time and change your decision to then not sell it. :)

That's basically what the "hodl" meme is: just decide to not sell until you need the money or until the money could significantly change your life. Of course, that's not exactly a new "investment" idea: there's always been a big difference between day-trading and just buying stocks (and index funds, etc.) with the intention to hold essentially indefinitely.
