I have been investing in the crypto industry for more than a decade. Here is what you need to remember in moments like this: 1. There is always a reason the price is going up or down, even if you don’t know what the reason is right now. 2. You are never as smart as you feel in bull markets and you are never as dumb as you feel in bear markets. 3. Bitcoin’s price can always go lower before it recovers. 4. Dollar cost averaging over time is a much better strategy for most people than trying to trade volatile moves. 5. Buying bitcoin when the Fear & Greed Index is under 20 has historically been attractive. 6. Bitcoin is not the same asset it used to be. Things like interest rates, AI stocks, etc are part of the game now. 7. You shouldn’t put all of your money in a single asset, including bitcoin, regardless of how bullish you are. 8. You can’t eat your bitcoin or sleep in it, so make sure you keep money for the “real world” needs. 9. People who don’t obsess over the bitcoin price every day are more likely to hold long-term. 10. The government will never stop printing money, which is bitcoin’s strongest long-term argument in my opinion. 11. The media loves to claim bitcoin is dying. They have done it hundreds of times and they have been wrong every time. 12. The critics get the loudest when bitcoin’s price falls. The louder they screech, the more attractive bitcoin probably is. 13. Bitcoin’s hash rate is an important metric to pay attention to and it has been increasing the network security recently. 14. As AI abundance becomes more pervasive in society, bitcoin’s scarcity will likely become more valuable. 15. The best psychological hack I ever discovered is to promise myself that I was going to give any bitcoin to my grandchildren. This way I am never tempted to make emotional decisions. 16. Modern bitcoin volatility is small compared to what early bitcoiners went through. 17. While it can be hard on day’s like today, try to have fun and remember that weathering negative volatility is the price of capturing the upside return in the long-run. I hope this helps a few people. Let me know what I missed.
