If you ask me, what is the hardest job? Then perhaps my answer will be the investment profession. It is a truly unique and harsh profession compared to other professions. Especially with Bitcoin and a volatile market like cryptocurrency.
Perhaps what you meant is that a trader as a profession? As far as investment goes, it's easy, you just buy and wait when you are going to sell it and make profits.
You will see that every area of life (sports, education, business, music, academics...) is a competition for rankings. But investing is completely different, it's not about how much money you make compared to those around you, it's a very unique profession, when what you fight for and win is not with others who join the market that is yourself. Win over yourself.
I think you make your life complicated with that kind of mentality or mindset. Yeah, you might see it as competition, but nevertheless, if you want to compete then it should be against yourself and not compare what you have done or accomplished with others.
Restless and waiting are two opposite things, and are also what help us distinguish between a true Bitcoin investor and a gambler.
The difference is that you when gamble, you don't have total control of the outcome. But as least if you trade, you can mitigate your risk by using the principle of stop-loss.
