Hey everyone, I've been grappling with a question lately and would love to get your thoughts. How much of my monthly income should I realistically invest in Bitcoin, considering the emotional rollercoaster of the crypto market?
This is very hard to answer TBH because there are different factors to consider with this one.
I can say that you should invest 500$ of your monthly income, but do you have a monthly income of more than that amount? I can say 100$, but is that enough for you already know that you are earning 5 figures every month? Your monthly income, risk appetite, etc. I can't speak for you about this because you might be richer than many people here. I will just share my experience that every month, I'm allotting 100$ of my monthly salary to invest in different assets (crypto, stocks, bonds).
I understand the potential gains, but I'm also thinking about the stress of watching the market's frequent ups and downs. Seeing those price fluctuations can be a real thrill ride – exciting one moment and nerve-wracking the next. So, what's the sweet spot? How do I balance a smart investment percentage without getting overwhelmed by the market's volatility?
What's your purpose in investing in the crypto market? Long-term or short-term?
If you're investing for the short-term then it's stressful to watch because one day you can see the crypto that you bought up 5% for the day, but the next day it will go down 5% or even more. Deal with it if you are a short-term investor. Now if you're a long-term investor, you don't need to watch the market because it's kind of useless.
I'm a long-term investor, and yes I'm still looking at the market daily, but I'm not affected by the short pumps and dumps that are happening with the crypto market. I learned already how to not get affected by this, and only focus on my long-term targets. I'm just looking on the market so I keep myself updated on what's happening in the crypto world.
There's no sweet spot, and you will get overwhelmed at first, but over time, you will learn not to. I also felt that one when I was starting, but what I did was I kept on learning, and learning.
