I just started DCAING into bitcoin some months ago with the purpose of becoming a long term holder, I've got my funds in place, I've done my cashflow check up, I've started building my emergency funds, I'm following all the rules that I think I need to follow to reach my goals as long term holder. But guess what happened yesterday?.
I used the money I was supposed to use to lump sum into bitcoin to buy a game. Lame right, very lame. While a lot of persons would talk down on me right now about this cause I know I've messed up and was supposed to say no to that urge to just spend more. Although I've replaced it today with a lot of hard work. I've learnt a lesson. To succeed as an investor you must have self control. I had every reason to say no to the urge to get a game but I didn't. I lacked self control to say no myself and do the right thing.
If anyone must achieve any desire in life, he must have the self control to control his lists cause here I am burning with desire to accumulate bitcoin and this same me went ahead to forfeit it for a game. All I know is I'm never gonna make this same mistake again.

Self-control and discipline are the two key elements of investment. Many new investors are looking for a quick profit and do not want to learn anything about the workings of the crypto market.

Go for Bitcoin investment for the long term because it is more profitable; look at the ROI since 2013.

As a newbie, you should learn to control your emotions in trading and investment. Stay away from shit meme coins because you might lose your investment. Invest only in BTC and ETH for the time being. Explore the market and analyse different options before investment.

Not just self control but the person must also have discipline so that he can stay focus on achieving his goal and wouldn't be distracted by unnecessary desires. To be a long term holder is not easy and this is one of the challenge, that you will face. I don't understand you OP, by saying that you have replaced the money within one day. Is it a small game, I guess because if it was to be a Play Station 5, I don't think that you will be happy with your actions because you wouldn't be able to replace it easily. Stay focus on your bitcoin target with regular DCA weekly or monthly, and don't get distracted again because you might make a decision that might lead to your regret.

Whatever we do, having self-control is quite important. Many people not just in the investing industry have failed but also in others like businesses because of the lack of control and planned activities will certainly lead to major losses and failures. Keep in mind that every single mistake we make has something that ends with bad results. Therefore, it is a need for us to think several times before proceeding to what we think. Failure is not a thing to be afraid of but avoiding them is necessary if we know that there is a way. We can't think right if we never fail, so let us accept that this is gonna happen in real life.

It's good to know that you've gone back to your initial plan of staying on Bitcoin by readjusting your priority. You don't place your harvest season in your sowing season. You invest now for tomorrow's financial gratuity and satisfaction. That's what every investor aims at. Don't let immediate gratification distract you from your goal.

Again, I won't disparage anyone for taking out their savings to get themselves some vanities that make them happy without investing it. It's their choice to make. Your money and your choice, and hopefully your story isn't a fairytale.
