You acted correctly, I also started my investments at that time, I bought at the peak and then it fell, I didn't sell and I don't regret it lol

I bought my first bitcoins in 2021 at a pretty high price and left them (fractions) lying around for years as the value dropped. I only woke up to the topic again this November. I don't think any more fairy-tale multiplications will happen, but I'm putting aside enough so that I don't have to worry about my own lack of income in the future.
