Anyone bought in 2017 and still holds?

Hi all

I'm just starting to trade and obviously the afterpay story is well known. My dream would be to buy a stock like afterpay at IPO and then sell it at todays price. However I've been trolling through old posts and there was a lot of hate on this stock.

My question are there early investors here that still hold and why did you hold after all the major dips that happened in the three years? How do you drown noise and hold to a stock through thick and thin.


Cheers
