During her rollercoaster ride, bitcoin prices swung from less than $1,000 to nearly $20,000. O’Dell may not have made optimal decisions about when to buy or sell, and missed out on the recent rally – but said she does not regret that.

She is part of a relatively new class of retail investors who joined the cryptocurrency market years ago, helping pro...
