$1,000 in $BTC on Aug 17, 2017 (first Binance close): $17,273 now.
Miss only its 10 best days out of 3,373: $3,684.
Several land right next to the worst crashes.
Mar 12, 2020 (Black Thursday): $BTC closed -39.5%. Mar 13: +16.2%.
Feb 5, 2026: -14.0%. Feb 6: +12.2%.
4 of the 10 best days came within a week of a top-10 worst day. Panic-sell the crash and you can miss the bounce.
This is not "just hold": holding also meant -83% (Dec 2017 to Dec 2018), and $BTC sits 40.6% below its Oct 2025 closing high. Skipping the 10 worst days would beat everything, but nobody gets one list without the other.
What to do instead:
1. Size spot (no leverage) so a -40% day can't force a sale
2. Write exit rules before the crash, not on the red candle
3. If you sell, sell by plan, then plan the re-entry too
