For a forum heavily populated with relentless Bitcoin bulls, we're surprisingly easily spooked.
Forget months, I hope that we'll get another 2014-16-style years-long depression. Miner's paradise. This time I'll keep most of it, I promise.
The ones panicking are the people who are over exposed to bitcoin or the late comers who haven’t been through a bear market before. I sold pretty much nothing from 2014 to Q3 2021. In 2018 I thought my life was over, full of regret & panic but I still sold nothing. I learnt from that mistake & sold 25% between 53.8k & 65k, I am prepared for all outcomes now, feels good.
I think everybody needs to feel like I did in 2018 & 2019 so they get experience to do it right in future cycles.
Yea I agree, Bitcoin market related Fear needs to be experienced and after going through
it further fear events will be easily handled.
I'm not worried by this latest downturn, it gives me a chance to buy back some Satoshi's
which I had to sell in December, now I'm buying more Satoshi's for the same FIAT, its great.
I can do this in the belief that long term everything wil be just fine.
I heard a interesting interview on the radio today with a computer scientist about this current
downturn, He put it down partly to the unrest in Kazakhstan and how the internet was suspended
there from all the riots, this effected mining and mining is very popular there since China became
very unfriendly to Bitcoin last year.
