I guess it will take at least one full cycle, full 4 years into Bitcoin that you will realized the ups and downs and how to react to it. At least this is what I experience before when I started my journey.

Prior to joining this community, I went into a full cycle and after that I just thought that I needed to learn more and then I joined this community. So now that I experience it already, I don't feel anxious, on the contrary, it's better to take advantage of it as what others might be doing before.

Buy in the dip, HODL and just continue to accumulate as much as you can.

I don't think there is a universally applicable answer. But it's not just about time, it's also about mindset. With a long-term mindset you don't care about the ups and downs.


No, I have simply been investing for many years for the long term. In most cases with DCA. Before bitcoin I was already investing in funds, and stocks. In the end you take volatility for granted, like going to the sea and seeing waves.

Smart money always finds ways to lure retailers in, but never let them out, unfortunately

We just need to accept it and hodl our BTC not looking at these short-term events that - may - happen.

When we get to that particular stage or reach the extent nto which all these social media buzz will be of nothing anymore to us, they do have impact on the market, but in a short time effects, but when we know how we could balance the strategies used together with our analysis under fundamental, technical and try to avoid any unnecessary FUD and FOMO, we are going to have more confidence in what we do than ordinarily being influenced by the news.

I would say that there are two ways - not care that much about the broader picture because you still just hodl long enough to see the results, or you try to play it smarter with potential going short-term, while spending much of your nerves and power on it.. Which I don't like that much.

I'm not sure of how long someone has to be involve with Bitcoin before having this desensitized mentality about the ups and downs that is attached to Bitcoin. The thing is, being desensitized doesn't really have to do with the times spent, it is basically knowing that there is literally nothing you can do(as a retail investor) to correct or make things go the way you want. The issue of fluctuation isn't tied to be Bitcoin alone. It is natural to fear or panic when we see the candle sticks reflecting red for a longer period instead of green, but there is literally nothing a mere retail investor can do about it.

Like I said, it is natural to fear, but when that fear leads to FOMO, it makes me wonder if these people haven't witnessed a Bitcoin comeback before. This is clearly the supposed trick of Institutions that invests in Bitcoin. For them, there is clearly nothing to panic about since their money is definitely in a safe asset.

Personally, I feel anxious, which is proper imo.
But it becomes unhealthy of me to start to FOMO, when Bitcoin can literally go either ways in a matter of hours.

This happened to me in the beginning, when I regularly checked the price of Bitcoin several times a day. I think that many beginners are subject to this, and I do not see any problems. Over time, we become witnesses; some experience shows us the results of vain worries due to the volatility of Bitcoin, and for some, it brings grief about past impulsive sales. Now, of course, those who have been watching the price movement for many years are unlikely to worry, especially in the period of long-term plans, since we have all seen that only patient and strong hands make a profit while maintaining their good health.

Those who have been involved with Bitcoin for a long time must have a good idea of ​​how fraud is spread in the market and harms ordinary investors. Due to ignorance or lack of sufficient knowledge, new investors often listen to various rumors and later get cheated. In the beginning, most traders have little idea about Bitcoin, so they can be hurt in various ways. However, over time, those investors get better ideas and are able to make themselves skilled. I was a little confused about investing in Bitcoin at first, but after being regular in the market for a long time, I have now been able to bring myself to a stage where no one can deceive my goals by spreading fraud.

I don't really care about the news that makes the price go up and down — up and down because until now I have only focused on getting income and part of my income is intended for long-term investment in Bitcoin. If this month I can get 0.002 with the money I set aside, maybe the next month it can be more than 0.002 or less than 0.002.

There is no anxiety and from what I feel so far I can say I can control myself.
