I'm also involved in Bitcoin from 2013 and since then Bitcoin went through different phases, many hard and good times. That is why it's funny for me to see people panicking becuse of few hundred dollars that price went down. Bitcoin has its own cycle that will always follow, don't forget that.
Easy. That's because you've known Bitcoin since 2013. I'm guessing, it has become a norm for you now, and wouldn't panic, flinch whenever Bitcoin's price drops for a few hundred. But then again, as I said, you've known Bitcoin for a long time, which also means you have Bitcoin since 2013. If my assumptions are correct, if I would be in the same shoes as you are, even this would be funny for me. Because compared to the price of 2013 to 2019(?) is a very big discrepancy, hence if I bought Bitcoin then--I have nothing to lose now, even it drops like $3000 I would still have profits. It's unlikely that Bitcoin will drop at $500. But for people who have known Bitcoin for months or even a year or two, they would still feel anxious and unsure about what to do. Not that they're inexeperience or anything but, they bought Bitcoin as it is now (believe me people do that).
True, experience is always the best teacher.
I would argue on that. Experience isn't
ALWAYS the best teacher, don't get me wrong it is the
BEST teacher, but not
ALWAYS. Why you asked(?) Because experience gives different impressions to different people, e.g. Gambler A, place a bet of halves (halving) of what he has (let's say his spare coins). Then Gambler B, place a bet of quarters (also halving but in quarters) instead. Gambler A won and gained 50%, while Gambler B only won 25%. So, Gambler B tried to bet half of what he has, but he lost--in the end, he lose 50%. While Gambler A bet for a 25% this time and also lost, but he only loses 25%--in the end, he still gained 25%. So if Gambler B sticks to his strategy he wouldn't have lost--a win-lose of 25% will be a stalemate. While Gambler A played for a safer strategy, after winning 50% only use 25% for a stalemate just in case.
So next time I think Gambler A will stick to his strategy and Gambler B will be undecided.
