It makes us positive and not to worry about the future if we act that way because the only depressed investors are those who didn't follow the rules before investing which is acquiring enough knowledge before buying bitcoins and using only the capital they can afford to lose. As for those who were used to investing no matter what the situation of bitcoin price in the crypto market is, they are always positive even at the time when the bitcoin price was about to hit less than $10k last time, it didn't budge while most newbies investors get panicked and ended up making bad decisions which they regret nowadays because they can see the price has greatly increased from last time.
Real investors don't just look at the current situation but they are considering the great opportunity in the future. So while these kinds of investors are busy buying more Bitcoin, weak investors are also busy selling off their BTC during the bear season. Perhaps, the situation seems normal in the way that not all investors are willing to take more risks rather than choosing to have an easy life.
It was not just newbies but this is for everyone --the more we think positively, the more it generates positive results. But for those who already think negatively, the more it drags them to terrible losses and sad endings.
Yes for those with a positive outlook and an eye on the long term what happens yesterday,
today or tomorrow doesnt matter. And as the OP states for long term HODL'ers transaction
fees, network congestion doesnt really affect us as much.
With a bit of experience about how Bitcoin works, its 4 year cycle and what is contained
in that in relation to the markets, how FUD and FOMO happen its much easier to be positive.
The day to day market shifts dont affect the Bitcoin stored safely on your hardware wallet,
thats peace of mind and adds to the positivity.
