Bitcoin touched $44,000 dollar for a moment before sliding back a bit to $43,780 dollars (at the time to creating this post).

And this clearly shows that, we are gradually entering the bull season, bitcoin has being on a bullish trend for several weeks now, and seeing the price touch $44,000 dollars today gave me two feelings,

First is excitement, I was and still excited, but somehow, I have this feeling of fomo running through me, I feel like I have not enough bitcoin and I am highly tempted to buy even more now ;D, this was the same amount of bitcoin I was very comfortable with during the bear seasoning.

Anyone else feeling same way?

Personally, not at all mate, I always look at my BTC as a total amount of sats and I never look at the exchange rate.

So let's say I hold 0.1 BTC, I never make the translation in dollars. I like accumulating BTC so much  :P

I know I am not the average person, because I don't view Bitcoin as an investment but as better money, so I try to hold as much as I can of this type of money.

By the way, I am not buying much BTC at the moment, because I have some real-life issues and I don't have a lot to save, but if I did, I would buy no matter what the exchange rate was. _{(Not a financial advice)}.

For a lot of people fomo starts once the price begins to rise, i believe that it is mostly weak hands who are affected by fomo, that's because many of them do not buy BTC until the minute the price starts to rise, once the pump begins, they start to fomo buy. If you already hold BTC and you want to accumulate more, i am not sure if it is a situation that can be called fomo buying.

I think it is natural that because the price of bitcoin continues to rise, we can calculate the possible profits that we can get from bitcoin. Everyone wants profits and the best way is to have more bitcoins. If you still have money, there's no harm in buying bitcoin again and again because we see bitcoin price movements continuing to rise steadily

However, don't panic if the price drops by several thousand dollars because sometimes after an increase there is a correction but if I look at the chart it looks like it will continue to rise. Just my feeling, I'm not a professional trader


wow.. you are a cool person because you can see bitcoin as bitcoin while I can't, I see bitcoin in fiat rate. Maybe this is because my country still prohibits transactions of goods with bitcoin, so I place bitcoin as an asset that can be exchanged for fiat money. Are you planning not to exchange bitcoins and will use bitcoins as a currency, not as an asset, so that you can view bitcoins in sats, not fiat exchange rates?

I feel the same OP, since I am new in my bitcoin journey and I have not accumulated up to a significant amount. Anytime that I see the price pump, this thought comes into me, but there is nothing I can do than to trim my expenses and use any extra to buy bitcoin, which is my weekly routine. DCA is what has helped by to the level but I am not happy that I wouldn't be able to accumulate more this December because of the expenses that will come during this season. I wish I had a good amount of bitcoin, it would have been the best. You can continue to accumulate more bitcoin, as long as you can afford.

Anyone that knows about bitcoin that its price is going to over $100000 this time will fomo.

We are just humans then feeling something like this or simply talking about FOMO is something inevitable that could be felt by someone. We dont really like on missing out the train again but honestly
if ever we've decided to buy then we should really be doing that earlier on the time that the price isnt really that hitting up that high. Now we might really be thinking that it might be shooting up
its price upto 50k and this is something that a normal impression and that kind of boost feeling which it is really that normal to have. This is why decisions be made would really be entirely be
depending on someone on how far they could really be able to risk on since not all wouldnt really be risk takers.

So its up to you whether you would really be buying more or would really be that waiting for some correction but actually these things could really be that
depending whether you are making some short term trades or really that basically holding for long term.

Naah, not a very cool person, but thanks.


Exactly. However, life is life, so in case something bad happens to me and I need to convert BTC to FIAT, I will definetely do it, unless Bitcoin is so widely adopted that I can use it as it is. The plan is to use it as money, not as a means to get more FIAT money.

Nah, I think being in the market for so long, this could be just a normal day for crypto investors. But for those newbies who might join the market early this year or even last year when the price goes down hard because of the FTX collapse, and seeing the price right now, this could be FOMO for them.

However, we will get into the excitement area when the price goes into another all time high.

$100k or more will be huge for us in the next bull run. So let's see how it goes after the block halving next year.

It is really difficult not to feel FOMO at this point because we never expected the bulls to be this strong at this point. I guess no one want to be left behind in the next wave.

Many people who are fixated on the Bitcoin price cycle are still expecting this types of movement this time next year but the market has already shown the peculiarity of next year's halving. Imagine the ETF approval happening before the halving, the move will just be simply uncontrollable.  

Seeing Bitcoin touch $44,000 today got my pulse going for sure.  The past couple weeks have been a rush, can't pretend I'm not getting caught up in all the hype and  when you watch the price ticking up everyday, the FOMO devil on your shoulder whispers "You should've put more cash down on this!"

But, I'd say take a breather first.  Think hard - are you really confident in crypto long-term, or just desperate not to miss the train?

If you've done your homework and believe the tech is solid, then I'd say go ahead, buy those satoshis.  But if you've got doubts better to play it safe rather than risk what you cant afford to lose.  In times like these the FOMO is real, but only you know what's right for your situation.

When the price has started to rise continuously for a few weeks I think it's still natural to have FOMO in our feelings, it will be the same thought and always say to ourselves why not buy more when the price has not risen like this, so that's how it feels right now.  ;D

It is still very possible that if the price drops below $40K maybe it will be a correction or what is called a bull trap? I won't focus too much on that and will stick to holding, won't look at the market too often.

You are not alone, even if I have invested some spare money during the previous months, when I see the price of bitcoin and how high it is already I definitely would have liked to get even more bitcoin at the time, but when I think about it, the bitcoin currently on my wallet is the highest I could have gotten anyway, so there is no point on regretting something that is completely out of my control, with that being said I thought I had more time to buy bitcoin for a low price as I did not expected the price to be that high before the halving.

i saw a post it's going to hit $50k before a slight correction and then bounce again. so ye there certainly is a fomo going on. though i bought altcoins when the price was $38k, the price of the altcoin is also up so i don't regret it. but i wish i had DCA since.

those who kept saying $12k must have been scrambling to buy. its happening so fast i was just buying bread outside and came back the price is already $43k. too fast to make nonbitcoin holders buy at lower price

It's nothing special for those of us who saw bitcoin slide from 60k to 30k in 2021 and then go back to 70k. I've been saying it many times during the last bear market that for me 25k is the fair low for bitcoin and 20, maybe 19k is the low that bitcoin could go to. We went far below due to scams (Luna, FTX) which were artificially dragging bitcoin below its fair price.

As for the fair price concept, I agree with PlanB, although I accept even greater low margins than he does, because he aimed at 26-28k fair value in q3 2022 when we were scraping the bottom.

Anyway, I was telling people that selling below 20k is a bad idea, and here we are. I'm not surprised that we went to 40k, although I am surprised we did it before the halving.

But why is it that people wait until it’s already going up before they jump in? What harm is it if you had simply bought before now or even DCA the whole time? Some people are already making profit because they got in earlier, isn’t it Bitcoin? It definitely ends with going up. My advice to you is that in all you do, make sure you do not go as far as using money you’ll need in a couple of months, so you don’t end up forcefully withdrawing when maybe the price hasn’t favored your target, but yet you need the money.

The same feeling I have but I have to stick with only an amount that I can afford to lose. Buying more could create more advantage while seeing the market continues to be bullish, but we all know that the market won't stay bullish the whole time, so I'll just wait for a price decline anytime and probably that time, I will be eager to add a portion of bitcoin into my portfolio.

However, for those who have not invested in bitcoin, I still suggest to start buying now. Bitcoin is always bound to be highly profitable, most especially that the market is preparing for big events early next year, so most probably the reason why bitcoin starts to be seen bullish right now.

personally no until i read your post

i have always said that i am just grateful enough that i have bitcoin and now that the price is starting to rise i feel excited but the thought of “i should have bought more” does not cross my mind this is because the money I used to buy bitcoin was money I saved myself so I am happy and sure that even with only a few satoshis, I can expect a good profit

don’t think that i am settling too much it’s just that i am short in money right now and there’s nothing i could do any further so instead of having fomo i just focus on the bright side: i have bitcoin

I have KIMM
Knowing I'm Missing Out

I was one who thought another dip was on the way, a black swan, my orders were ready...I didn't succeed. Though, that is fine! It's not the end of the world and nature has its course. I still enjoy the ride with the BTC and alts I have, and feel fulfilled with the ongoing positivity with the industry.

Whether accumulation is wise or not now is a vital question. Few people call for a bull trap, however the market can do unexpected things. It's not the first time we've seen a meteoric rise so it isn't out of the question.

I wonder how high we will go and if this so the last time we see the prices we saw in 2023...

I agree with you... for us old timers this is like a normal day, it will be a lot more interesting when we get to the new ATH. I think that this is a nice peak, but I am not sure that this is a bull run and that the price will continue to grow. I guess we will have a lot of volatility before we get into the bull run and Bitcoin at some new all-time high prices.

If history repeats itself we will not see a bull run right after halving... the bull run usually comes the year after the halving.

Not really.
I always knew the Bitcoin price would be like this towards this time and I acted before now. Whatever Bitcoin I have now is the amount I can afford so there's no need to feel bad about it. Since the price was around $27k I predicted that Bitcoin would get to $35k - $40k before the end of the year and I was right. So I saw it coming.

My joy is that Bitcoin is even doing better than I expected. This makes me very hopeful for the coming year. If Bitcoin can get to 44k by now then we might see a new ATH by year if we're lucky.

Based on your comment, I believe you hold a substantial amount of Bitcoin and that's great mate, I hope you keep winning. Its big time FOMO for others like me tho. I've had to settle for altcoins and though I do have strong belief in some like ETH, BNB, BGB, AURORA, BAKE among others, I still feel like I'm really missing out on something big here by not having any bitcoin. For now, BGB remains my biggest holding and I'll be putting most of my hopes in it going into this bull market.

Sort of having the same feeling but there's this much more important thing that I am noticing and for sure that the others are doing as well. And that's the fees that we're having right now. Together with this push that we're experiencing, the fees are also coming up. Right now, $12, nearly $13 worth of fees if you want to get confirmed so quick. I feel the vibes that we're having the 2017 feeling when we entered the bull run and fees were outrageous as well. A cup of coffee will cost you more than that as they say. Anyway, we can't ignore that but we can't also ignore our feelings that we're so excited to see how high it is going to be.

I don't feel the fear of missing out the opportunity, because during the year end the price used to bounce and this time it is happening at the right moment. Most of the time close to the days of Christmas we experience major price rise. Start of the year itself there is good push in the market. $44k+ price from the range of $26k is a big bounce in short term. This can cross $50k with few corrections interrupting in between. Crossing $50k the growth will be in much faster way than the current movement.

Hmmm not feeling anything like that as I'm confident and contented on how many bitcoin I have, or sats I have, yws I don't have a whole bitcoin only a fractions because I'm still accumulating and I was using some of the fractions for trading to earn while waitinf for the good profit for my holdings, so no matter what happens even if the bitcoin goss bullrun I will still be satisfied on how much I will earn from what I have in my holdings, I don't plan on selling all the satoshi I have even if the bull run comes as i still want to invest in the long, mayne some fractions only, so yeah we have different feelings and in sight on what upcoming in bitcoin it is valid, but for me no I'm contented annd taking it easy. Some are really looking forward to the bull run, so maybe that's why there are people who have similar feelings to the OP.

I haven't felt anything other than being overwhelmed seeing Bitcoin surpass $40k before Christmas. I was just taught that the price of Bitcoin will stay low at $40k but very fortunate that it was hitting high more than what I'd been expecting. Therefore, I could say that the bear season is over, we're now on the bullish side of the market. Good thing that I already filled my bag before the surge happened and feel no mistake from doing it earlier than waiting for the price to rise before buying.

I don’t think is every ending of the year that we see a big pump because if you look at the past charts bitcoin always has a slight fall every ending of the year probably because of the supply that gets high in fact this years December was predicted to be a month of correction but it seems etf approval is gearing this bullish trend before even the halving occurs. I predict with this price increase plus a etf approval we will witness a price almost close to the ATH before the halving.

I would say only the experience people wouldn’t be carried away with this particular price increase but for short timers they will FOMO easily. One thing just remains keep stacking the real bull run is after halving

I don't think I am. Since I heard that there will be a correction of bitcoin price before the bull run takes effect, I try to remove myself from anything that will make me have a FOMO mindset towards bitcoin. However, if the correction of bitcoin price didn't happen before or after the halving season as I have heard, I wouldn't regret my action of not buying more bitcoin at this high price. Already I have accumulated enough bitcoin at a discount price even though I want to buy more.

I actually had to check the price of bitcoin after reading your post, before I even saw that the price got to $44k today…

For now, I really don’t have any plans to spend the few sats that I’ve been able to accumulate coupled with the increase in transaction fee, I think I might just seat back relax and watch the price rise. Hehehe

Looking at my balance when I got my coins and the current price I’m not even satisfied with the difference between them so that’s even more reason why I’m not selling off. If I was to sell it would be because I’m sure that the price will drop for me to accumulate more but with what’s going on right now I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Having BTC and holding them is the same thing as someone who is wealthy and has a lot of properties and investments, but to some, it always feels like they don't have enough yet and need more. Why do some people always get to a level where they say, „Yes, I have arrived, and I don't need more things aside from maintaining the ones that I have got?“ This is just the same way I see BTC.
 
If I'm the type that's looking for quick profit, I will be very sorry that I don't have any BTC holding or not having enough holding now that the price has gone up, but currently I just feel so much okay with the little that I'm holding. Maybe this could be as a result of me not having enough money to invest in it, or probably this is because I know, no matter the price, whenever I have money to acquire more, I will still do that. This FOMO does not really get to me this period.

Maybe a few years back I would've felt the same. But now? Heck when it got to 43k was the usual time I DCA so while I was in the process of doing that I was like "Nah, this is going down and is gonna end up on a small loss for me now ain't it" was my mindset for like the entire day, even till now! I've engraved it in my mind to not be swayed whenever the price goes up since that's usually a testament that the next movement is down. Granted I do DCA, so I'm not affected by the small losses in the short term personally, it is what I've said to my brain whenever moments like these come up.

I would love to repeat it many times - I even said it the other day.

In times like these everyone wants to own more bitcoin - but in previous months they weren't sure the price could break $44K and they tended to expect a DIP. Their hopes of getting a DIP did not come true as the price of bitcoin continued to soar near $45K. Anyway - have fun with what you got today, there will certainly be more fun if the bitcoin price hits its past ATH of $69K later this year.

I feel excited to see the price but I don't feel anything like to get FOMO on current situation since I always look for correction before accumulating. It's wrong for us to buy when bitcoin is pumping since there maybe a correction to happen and that maybe bad position for us if we buy at the top.

I already accumulate some when price at low so there's no need to rush on everything especially the current happening since I believe there's pull back gonna happen soon. Also to many things will happen so I keep monitoring to see a possible good position.

But if people really want to take some chance then maybe its better for them to trade in futures since from that they can possibly see some good result for taking long position for bitcoin.

I am still hesitant about the bull run but obviously, the sign is there.  I have a little worry about the possibility of a bull trap.  But regardless let us enjoy the surge of Bitcoin, I know people are hyped now but I think we should avoid FOMO-ing. Let's just do the casual routine of DCA, this way whether this is a real bull run or bull trap, we are still ongoing with our Bitcoin accumulation over time.


I am one of those people who are thinking of a possible bull trap, and I am glad it has not happened yet and hopeful that this surge will continue.  Yeah, it is worth celebrating if Bitcoin records another ATH breaking it previous with this uptrend.

I have the same feeling.

Seriously I need to invest a good amount of money in Bitcoin before next year. I have had some things that keeps delaying, but I know for sure I would get past all that. The money I have in Bitcoin right now is what I invested months back, so I really need to put more into it and I can't wait to do that.

I guess for long term investors or at least have safe enough already, it's not FOMO but a feeling of excitement to see this kind of price and of course your wallet feeling fatten by the huge surge in the last 24 hours.

But we are still very far though, I think FOMO will be around $100k?

And that's how it is though, when the price really going into the moon, people suddenly goes and put their hard earn money into bitcoin. But if you have to think, they should have invested when the price is very low.

And we will see more meme's in the coming days for those who will FOMO.

That's a good way to look at it. I used to enjoy accumulating more and more. But now I'm at the point where I'll be spending down what I have over the rest of my life. It'll be sad to see my sats continue to drop over the decades to come, even as what I have becomes more valuable overall.

Finally, we are back again in the BTC safe price zone. $40K is the zone that used to determine bulls and bears, but now we are at $44k. Of course this was unexpected, many analysts and speculators predicted there would be a price decline but in fact BTC continued to rise.

Does the ETF issue affect the BTC price rally? or is the opening of the BRC-20 network the main stimulus for the increase in BTC prices this time (this is in line with the increase in $Ordi-coin brc20)? as well as halving fomo?

In context of Bitcoin cycles, the bullish season can be confirmed once the price surpassed the ATH, which usually happens many months after the havelning. So the current rally is more likely to be a sign that the bull run is coming soon rather than being the bullrun itself. Remember, that the faster the price rises, the faster it fall when a correction will come.

Feeling the same way and my 2 banks are both stopping me from paying any money to an exchange.
I am so fucking frustrated. I have tried like 20 deposits of which 18 were denied

Seems a really FOMO experience  :D
That's bad news for you mate. For sure in your country, they are very strict when it comes to Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency transactions.
It's fine, maybe you can just buy some stablecoin and wait for some pullback or dip so you can properly positioned.

I have the same feeling as you. And I'm sure many other users here also feel the same way. One thing that makes me a little regretful is that I actually had more funds for bitcoin accumulation. But when bitcoin hits 40k I think it will undergo a correction again. So I waited for that to happen. But my analysis was wrong and it turned out that Bitcoin continued to rise to 43-44k. I also feel there is FOMO inside me. But I know I shouldn't get carried away by emotions in situations like this. I'm quite grateful with the accumulated amount I've gotten so yeah this is fine. And I still believe a correction can happen but I don't know when it will happen and to what extent it will happen. But what is certain is that I will enjoy the bitcoin that I have and hold it stronger until Bitcoin actually makes a new ATH. And if the correction doesn't happen again. Well I'm not going to fomo by buying more. But to be honest, my hands are still itching to press the buy button more right now. ::)

Bitcoin found a major trend bottom at the end of last year, it spent the entire year of 2023 increasing in value, when something goes up in price we always think that we have little, but the truth is that there is no way to predict anything, when it comes to buy deep the fear of falling further always appears, so the best strategy will always be DCA, regardless of the value. Buy a little a week and make peace with yourself. Don't feel guilty about anything at all, you did what was supposed to be done at the time.

During FOMO times, it is not wisely to bu even stable coin because the rate of stable coin to a fiat currency usually will be higher, more expensive than normal rate.

Better times to buy stable coin is when there is no big rise or crash on the market, when the market is boring, you will have better rate of stable coin vs fiat currency to buy stable coin and wait for opportunities to buy discount Bitcoin when FOMO effects gone and panic appears on the market.

DCA is a very good strategy for investment as it will help to eliminate or reduce fear and other emotional effects. A more important contribution from DCA is it can help you to accumulate bitcoin and increase total value of your investment with time. You even don't realize how much you spend for DCA and what value of your portfolio is after a while. Some months, when you look back and watch your portfolio, you will be surprised with what you already spent for DCA.

I'm just excited that it's finally got some upward momentum again! I definitely would have to agree, there is always more bitcoin to he gotten while the getting is good! Can you imagine trying to buy once BTC is fully mined?

Initially I was also a little affected by FOMO, but I realized again that following FOMO is not a good thing when we are involved in the world of bitcoin investment. So yeah, I just stared at the market, holding back my turbulent feelings. Apart from that, I also think Bitcoin will definitely reach a price higher than 44 thousand dollars. So basically I always remain optimistic about the price of bitcoin.

I can feel happy when Bitcoin is increasing in price, but to say FOMO follows it, I don't think so because right now my strategy is still clear with it, the accumulation has been planned in advance. That and my goal with this market are always long-term, not relying too much on short-term things to optimize, and sometimes, for me, it is also a risk.

Now that the excitement is ramping up, and it is also attracting many new people to pay attention to bitcoin (crypto), we can fully expect the bull cycle to be in its starting phase. Many people have their doubts, but they also have their own opinions. So investing is not a general category, but each individual has their own plan.

This isn't the first time I witness a bull run, so I'm not even near to being tempted of getting FOMO.

Too early I guess, although we are seeing a good bull movement but bitcoin hasn't break it's ATH, or even near from it, so let's calm down a bit, wait til it's near as most likely it will break the current ATH, once it happen, then I can't tell anymore if I'd FOMO but most new investors will.

Next stop is $50k? Let's break that $48k resistance first.

https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/12/05/bitcoin-blasts-to-44k-on-coinbase-and-could-run-towards-48k-resistance-lmax-analyst/

I don't think so, because right now I'm a long-term holder and doing dca in other cryptocurrencies until there's no bull run and halving. Then even if I do short-term, I still don't think like that.

Because the important thing is that I get a profit within the day that I do trading activity on any exchange. Also, there is no reason for us to feel FOMO in such situations, as you say, dude. As long as what I feel right now is really positive,.

I think it is already normal every time we hit a bull run since we know Bitcoin's price from the past months, where we could've bought a lot of Bitcoins before it reached its current value of $44,000. But as I have been part of crypto for years, there have been a lot of bull runs already for many years, but still the feeling of missing the once-in-a-year bull run is literally FOMO. I am already contented with my holdings, will might still do DCA method for the rest of the days in this years, cause for sure next year Bitcojn's value still might increase as it might reach it's new ATH.

Everyone is enthusiastic, looking at market developments like now, I myself see that the price of BTC will continue to rise and there is a possibility of taking a short break at 49K later. because of my previous filing, if the number 40 is broken, it will rise to 45K. If that is also broken, it is possible that the number 49K will come true soon. But it all comes back to demand.

The bull season is still ahead and this is still just the beginning. After the increase, now the price of Bitcoin is back to the price of $43k and maybe now is the time for a correction. But if the correction this time is not too deep, there is a possibility that Bitcoin prices will increase again.

Yes, that's a normal feeling for @OP and anyone else who owns Bitcoin. They may even be tempted to sell their Bitcoin now, seeing that the price has reached $43k-$44k. But if our target price is still far away, we have to be patient until the time comes. Yes, we have now started to see the amount of profit we get from our investment, especially if the price can reach the last ATH again and continue to increase to reach its new ATH next year or 2025.

I'm still trying to buy more using the DCA method. And as long as the price hasn't reached its final ATH, it's still a good price to buy. Maybe I'll stop buying Bitcoin when it reaches $55k or $60k. But we'll see ;D

Well sometimes I also have that feeling. So I understand what you feel when you see the price of bitcoin experiencing a big spike in a fairly quick time. But because I have accumulated with DCA since last year and the year before. So I seem to be less carried away this time. But if I still have a lot of capital, maybe I will also start to have FOMO and re-accumulate more. Unfortunately my capital is limited and I only buy or accumulate when I have a profit from my trading activities. And usually I don't really care at what price I buy.

Those who have finished accumulating will definitely be smiling broadly right now. But I hope they can hold their own fingers from rushing to transfer their bitcoins to exchanges and sell them.  ;D I hope they remember their long-term plans. Because it's only the beginning. If there are 4 phases in bullishness, maybe this is only in phase 2.

Am I tempted by this kind of moment? of course yes. but since I regularly accumulate the same amount every month, I would rather continue with that than increase the number of BTC portions I buy. I am still in control of that and greed has taught me very valuable lessons in the past. So, a moment like this will not change my plans, apart from the fact that it is already quite profitable, I want to maintain the consistency of the DCA that I do.

Some predictions say that the price will continue to rise until 2024, yes, it looks like this is a very attractive Christmas gift. Selling some BTC to celebrate Christmas and new year party is not a bad choice, as long as we have made quite a lot of profit thanks to this bullish situation.

I  was alarm earlier today because after hitting 43k price drops down to 41k again so I thought it will be dumping but yeah it is just a correction in which after few hours the price hype again to 44k and now holding to that position.
waiting for 48k as it was the highest speculation that i have seen from some old trader and account here.

If you bet against Bitcoin or didn't take action to buy it for too long, hurt is the feeling that will end it all, just like some people are pained even as they believe they can still be driven by FOMO. But caution is advised now.

At this point, I do not have further advice to give to anyone regarding Bitcoin but to DCA, just do not commit all your money to it at once at this heavy price even as halving has not happened. There will be the urge to buy it, but why being emotional now? One has to be careful at this point. I am happy to have outsmarted the situation, and someone like me can't have the feeling of FOMO because I am already in and have been pumping and pumping almost every week.

It's better to DCA at any time when an asset is either, low, moderate or high, which is what I am technically doing. I advise you to do the same if you have not bought your Bitcoin yet.

All thanks to ETF! It changes the narrative. :)

Yeah norms. Mostly for those that didn't start holding early so definitely there will be FOMO, but for those who have been holding I don't think there'll be any FOMO for them because as Btc is in bullish they will definitely be in  profit too. But I think there's still time  to dive in though because the price will definitely beat this recent price. So as long is Btc I think is safe to enter now too. So let's sit back and watch its grow to a new ATH.

Not riding the FOMO here. But I did regret I hadn't followed by monthly DCA dates because I thought I could buy bitcoin at a discount. So I have 2 months of backlogs on my DCA, October and November. The plan is to keep the DCA until bitcoin reaches $50k. But I felt like it is too early for bitcoin to continue its soaring price. I expect a correction in late December or maybe in January and that will be the time I buy bitcoin again. My current plan now is to buy bitcoin when it drops back to $40 and then average down every time it drops a thousand dollars to catch up with my DCA backlogs.

I don't feel FOMO at all, I started buying bitcoin once it crashed at 17k, I believe that those who missed out buying the bottom are definitely going to feel the FOMO, I am going to keep enjoying my DCA, having a certain amount of SAT is my goal and I care less about it's dollar value right now.

I think the ETF approval is going to get approved soon, maybe by January, because I am hearing stuffs that ETF sales is already live, so the approval must happen by ease or by force, still my advice is to take your eyes off the value of Bitcoin right now and focus on your DCA strategy.

It's too early to start thinking that a massive correction can't take place anymore because of the strong ETF approval, always make sure that you don't run out of stable coins at hand, so that you can take advantage of sudden opportunities.

I try to be calm looking at the current market situation, not to feel sad if I miss the train because there are still very few Bitcoins stored or feel afraid that the price will go down because I don't immediately sell it at $44K. After all, the Bitcoin market will still move dynamically, when it goes down only for a temporarily before it goes up again, as well as when it goes up, of course, there will be a time to go down temporarily, take the opportunity to profit according to what you want and don't need to think too much about what will happen until the end of this year, because for those who have limited funds like me, don't expect to make a profit of tens of thousands of dollars because the profits obtained will be comparable to the funds we dared to invest in buying Bitcoin a long time ago.

Take note that you cannot predict what the SEC is going to do, i know some people are saying it will happen soon and i am sure so many of them are repeating that because of what they feel would happen with the price of BTC, too many people are expecting a huge pump in the price of BTC if spot eft's are approved in the U.S. market, but all i can tell them is to wait. Your expectations will not determine what the sec are going to do, and i don't think people should be buying BTC's only because they anticipate a spot etf approval from the sec, it shows they are nothing but get rich quick buyers.

I do hope that Bitcoin can go back down to 30k range because I am not done accumulating my target yet, and now that the transaction fee is even higher, I have to take up to every two weeks before I buy some more Bitcoin, but reading online that the Black Rock and others are pressing harder on SEC to approve the ETFs just seem like something that's finally happening.

I do hope that by early next year there will be a major pull back before the Bitcoin halving is over, I don't have any reason to feel any FOMO right now because the exact BullRun won't happen until few weeks or months after the Halving event, hopeful the price will keep going side ways for a while, it's too soon to see a new all time high from now into 2024.

If you feel like FOMo into Bitcoin you must be new to this space, unless something entirely new will happen this time around, I might be right or wrong, but I am hoping for the extra time to accumulate as many Bitcoin as I can get before the time runs out.

FOMO comes when you are not prepared, what is happening now is not new with Bitcoin price movement, we've seen this happen in the previous cycles and here is it again. I'm not moved at all by the recent surge in the price of Bitcoin because I still believe there is gonna be a buying opportunity when it's time, So no need for me to FOMO in, I have been buying gradually since the last dump and I'm patiently waiting for another opportunity to also get some stats, this is how I'm following the market trend.

Bitcoin hitting $44,000 is coollllllll. FOMO is a heat, dangerous wave we're all surfing. Bitcoin isnt a fad. This innovative concept has a 10-year horizon, not just ten days. Bull season is just a taste of Bitcoin's potential. Its tempting to make snap decisions amid the exhilaration, but lets be smart. We're here for Bitcoin's transformation, not just its highs. Sustainable growth and educated investment should be our priorities, not FOMO-driven purchase.

Yes, we're fucking FOMO right now, but lets be cool, be calm. Bitcoin requires smart thinking, not emotional emotions. Stay focused on the long term - Bitcoin's underlying value.

I already trusted bitcoin since i started knowing it in 2019 and I know that I missed out on a lot of opportunities and this ride of 44k is just part of it, there's nothing too late in investing and we are just few inches only with the possible brings bitcoin in the next coming year of 2024 to 2025. But this hype could be temporary or just take another dump, no one knows so keep grabbing the opportunities as can, lesson learned from the previous mistakes.

What should be the only reason for any reason of missing out is when you have your investment majorly on altcoins, you wouldn't know what may comes aftermath of these volatile market as some coins are rising while some are just unpredictable because they are not showing a significant symptoms of pushing forward as the bitcoin market price is increasing, so if one still intend to invest, then it's never too late to make something work out now because we are yet to experience the main bullrun still.

Don't be carried away and always stick to the golden rules where use the money that you can afford to lose to avoid any blame and regrets and if you can, don't promote to your family and friends without telling them the consequences because this increase in the price will be one of the main reason why people will be interested in bitcoins because they can see the evidence once again right in front of their eyes. To be honest, it's really hard to resist but what can we do? Since the bitcoin halving is not yet happening and we are not even officially entered 2024, surely there will be lots of things that gonna happen in the crypto market.

Even though I don't own any bitcoins, I am very happy to see such an excited market.  Yes indeed we are slowly moving into bull season. I think the bitcoin market will grow even more if fake bitcoin ETFs are approved in January. But those who invested and waited for the bull season are seeing success today. However, I've decided to invest a portion of my weekly bitcoin payments from now on because I'd be happier if the bitcoins were halved.

When people see huge pump in market then they realize that yes bitcoin is on the way to give benefit to holders in Bull run that is in 2024 so they start gathering more bitcoin but according to my opinion people should buy any coin when price get reduces because reduce price can enhance your chances of profitability.
There is no body who will be free to decide without FOMO and most of the people don't want to miss out the chance of buying bitcoin when the price is higher as they wants the price to further go ahead to show unexpected costs. Now everyone will be in Struggle and will wish to have more bitcoin and as they see that price hit the value of 43k$ so wishes begins to enhances for having numerous bitcoin so that they can shine their future.

This feeling must come, especially for those of who are unfamiliar with how the market fluctuates. We've all been hoping for a market uptrend for a long time, with many speculating that the price will rise above $48K before the end of the year.

It took a while for it to come through, and since we are also eager to accumulate more before the bull season, seeing your portfolio rise amidst this will make you feel like you don't have enough and should have saved more before the uptrend. Whatever the case may be, we will not be left out if we have at least some bitcoin and wish to add more before the halving occurs.

Expect the unexpected and this market is always been like that, we might be able to assume out on what SEC would do, considering that they are really that against with Bitcoin or crypto overall.
As much as possible they would really be that doing things which it would really be according into their liking. If the community is already that anticipating for those things to go on that way
then they would really be that going to the opposite side on which tons of people didnt really expect for it to happen which it is really that against with their principle.

Now that the price is going up high because of the recent rumors of ETF approval then the price do make some rally.Fomo is there on which it is normal
but be careful because the price cant rise up forever on which there would really that a correction but of course we cant really be able to deny that shooting up
its price could really be always that possible.

Long-term investors have gone through a difficult time in the bear/bull market but this time it was already in the previous prediction that bitcoin could surpass $40K, of course the portfolio will go up but someone will feel less and want to continue buying, it could be a feeling of FOMO just a little bit.

Yep FOMO will be at $100K and many people will buy at that price.

Long-term investors do that, when the price drops they put a lot of money into bitcoin, but people who hesitate and want to buy at a lower price usually never buy because the price has risen.

Its easy to feel like that when the price is getting this high, its important to feel that FOMO when the price wasn't so high. I have been saying that bitcoin will go up eventually and we will get rich again since it was 40k, and no I do not mean like a week ago, I mean 2+ years ago when it dropped to 40k from 68k, it went from 40k to as low as 15k and I was still saying it. Feel that bitcoin is the greatest investment you could make in the near future, there s nothing else in this world that will make people as much money as they possibly could from this situation, and you should be quite happy with it, I understand that it may feel like its not that great at the time, but its definitely greater than we expected.

Ahh, the market is at the level where I do not want to accumulate anymore. However, I'm still happy with whatever I own because having no control over greed emotion can be a bigger disaster than having a small figure in the Bitcoin in the long time frame whoever is buying is making decent buying. Still, in the shorter time frame if a person is taking entry he's rushing himself and getting prey to FOMO which is not a good sign for a good investor.

I'm still expecting a decent correction in this price range I'll prepare well for any dip to buy back the desired amount. Until that time lets enjoy the Green market zone. We are just 34% away from the ATH, Let's cross 50K by the end of the year and I've been feeling overhyped about this healing event.

I have a similar feeling just like you, i am so excited about this bullish trend we are witnessing and it is a sign that we are fast approaching the bull run. I have every feeling that this trend will continue till the bull run arrives and i am overly excited that i keep checking checking bitcoin price to see how far we are going. It is a great achievement for all bitcoiners and we all hope to see the price keep rising.

When the price went from $39,000 to $40,000 and kept rising I also had the same feeling of not having enough bitcoin because I expected it to keep rising and this feeling got even worse when it got to $44,000 and i even got tempted to swap some USDT for bitcoin but it is not my strategy of accumulating bitcoin and if i do i will go against my strategy.

We will eventually keep accumulating more as we anticipate more increase in price but it is better to not let FOMO get the better of us because the price cannot keep rising and there is every possibility that after buying at a higher price the price could go down. There will still be a chance to buy when there is a dip.

First bitcoin has always been an object of FOMO even if you have a lot of it started already,  but much more for low-income individuals who choose the long-term Bitcoin accumulation path and with a low cash flow, it is just a natural phenomenon with Bitcoin.

If you have the fear of losing out it then means that you are still a human and it is your natural considering the kind of information that you are open to,  makes it very easy for you to experience that FOMO feeling and you shouldn't hit yourself for feeling so and if you have some spear cash received you may go ahead to hold more Bitcoin instead of stable coins or fiat.

It's actually normal feeling that way since we have this greedy part of us that would always want to grab as much as we can as long as it's all about profits, most especially if you know where the market and bitcoin ate actually heading to. So I share the same feeling as well, the reason why I still pursue doing DCA everytime I have spare money so I won't miss any opportunity to invest. Bitcoin is the future, and I'm feeling this will give us a break later on.

However, there's no wrong if you FOMO with bitcoin as long as you have enough funds to sustain your investment, but if you do it with altcoins and meme coins, that's where the danger starts to happen. Prepare yourself then from losing any time.

Should we call this feeling FOMO? because you are not missing out on the opportunity overall, you are at least getting benefit from the buying you have made. I think you should set a limit for you. I did not set any limit for myself but after acquiring $1000 worth of BTC (please don't judge my investment) I started to think I should not invest more. Then I started to realize the potential of alts too and from then I am making small investments in alts and made a little profit too as the market is bullish so making a profit is a lot easier now.

Well, the point is, I set a limit for myself but still I somehow Invested another $500 in it but now I said to myself that I will stop fully and will not invest more, and not doing it anymore now. You should also set a limit for yourself. But if you are planning to buy more BTC and you have the funds then what's bad in buying more? I do know you have plans to hold for long terms as I read your previous posts too.

But if you think BTC will come down or you predicted it will but it is showing unexpected uptrend movements then it is better to invest with a small percentage of your money now and then wait for a small correction, I heard somewhere that the first week of the January will be more volatile and we might see a downtrend at that time. What you think how true it is.

Anyone who is looking for profit or haven't invested into Bitcoin when it was trailing between $15k to $20k will be feeling the FOMO as it's a natural phenomenon. This is the time when some of them gets onboarded at wrong time if they are a short term investor because once the price has reached such level there are always possibilities of correction but also there are chances of going further and achieving new ATH.

Let's say a person wants to invest into Bitcoin when it was trending at $30k earlier this year and then it dropped below $20k hence the person didn't invest in the fear of losing it further but now when it has reached ATH of 2023 this person will be in FOMO since it has increase by 2x from the time he decided not to invest and sometimes end up investing when Bitcoin is at peak which can backfire when it drops.

I Personally don't feel FOMO this time since I have started accumulating BTC throughout the year as that's the best way to stay safe atleast you will be above breakeven in most of the situations.

I think we have long entered the bull season, but we don't see it like that anymore because 100% or 200% doesn't sound like much compared to the outrageous gains Bitcoin has made some years ago.

We need to be more realistic about what is happening not only on the infrastructure side of things and how institutional money keeps flowing into the space, but also in terms of the price. just remember where our last low was and where we are now and how much time passed in between, then I think we could with certainty say that we are in the midst of a bull run that has been going for a while. We had some sidewards movement from time to time and it was pretty quiet I admit, but still these corrections and going back and forth at some price points wasn't really that Bitcoin didn't move.

It felt a bit as if some of the things have to fall into place first before it gets going again, but it is more like a bull that was held back by some ropes. So technically, I guess you are right because we had some phases that were so calm, but it was a gradual and strong increase for quite some time now. It depends on how you draw the line in the charts and what time window you choose.

For us people who do have that experience then we wont really be having that kind of excitement on seeing these current jump or surge in price or simply we have been get used to it but cant really be denied that
seeing this price once again do really give out that bit of excitement and positivity considering that we've been dealing up with bear market for a couple of years and now the price is really that heading back
on where it was before and now trying to reach out again that previous all time high. Feeling FOMO? Nope! This is really just that an ordinary day on crypto where price do pumps and then make out some
correction laterwards.

The best thing to do is you should really know on how to utilize these movements for you to be able to make profits on the time that you do make a good entry.
This thing what matter the most and also you should not really make yourself that being impulsive on buying specially on being scared on missing out because
once correction happens then this is where impulsive actions do happen.

I saw Bitcoin at  $69k , + $16k,  and now $44k . I don't think I have an inch of fear of missing out. I have been here , I am here and I will still be here doing my biweekly DCA bull or bear season. Bitcoin will most definitely hit $50k on or before December 31st

If it doesn't hit $50k at the end of the year, there is still plenty of time for Bitcoin to hit $50k, as long as we are in a long term hodl and keep our cool and just do our regular DCA activities, I believe any changes of prices now won't affect our Bitcoin investment strategy.


I think we can't remove the excitement of the idea of Bitcoin surging because Bitcoin surge means more profit for us.  But I think to those people who have seen higher price of Bitcoin, they won't enter in FOMO stage because they know that it will take time for Bitcoin to break the ATH.


This is good for short term investors but to those who plan to hold Bitcoin for a decade or more, I think this kind of price movement has little effect on them.

Bull market already started since march 2023. People expect to have the same momentum of price in 2021 to consider that the bull market is starting. In the first place, I didn't expect that to happen because it's different, there's is no resistance we can see in the chart of 2021, but in 2023 chart there's a lot. That's why it's difficult to see an continuous impulsive momentum of price since there's a lot of resistance above, and it takes a huge demand to surpass that areas. I'm so glad that the price hit $44k in this early even though there are lot of negative news related to Bitcoin, this only means that the maturity of Bitcoin is now began.

On the one hand, I also feel the same way, but because I try to maximize it as best as possible, I don't think too much about it. When you see a wallet with an estimated amount of bitcoin to local currency it is quite tempting and you might think one thing, why don't we buy as much as possible when the price is still not as bullish as it is now. In fact, we will always be late when what we want starts to show big changes and so that we don't regret it, buy using DCA so that we can slowly increase the number of bitcoins we have.

This must be another consideration and when you have the opportunity to invest, do it because if you delay we will miss the opportunity to make big profits in Bitcoin. Imagine if this was reviewed by people who don't have any bitcoin at all and I'm sure they are quite regretful now, because they had the opportunity but they didn't try to take the opportunity that existed.

Bitcoin hasn't crossed it's all time high yet and the price of bitcoin isn't that close to that yet that it's not worth buying more bitcoin now, I feel like anytime is a good time to buy bitcoins as long as you are going for the long-term investment in it. Plus if you trust bitcoin so much and you have a really high selling price goal like 100k and up then it's no bones for you to buy bitcoin right now and just continue hodling, it's not a mandatory thing for you and anyone to sell all their bitcoin when they feel like they've bought at a certain price range that they're not happy to let go off, just sell the part/amount of bitcoin that you have already doubled or tripled your initial purchase and then hodl the rest.

If you say FOMO, I don't think I feel that way. But I was a little surprised when bitcoin hit 44K. There is also a feeling of wanting to buy, but I don't feel afraid of missing out. So you could say maybe I didn't experience FOMO when bitcoin hit 44k. But more like just surprised.

FOMO, or fear of missing out, often leads people to make impulsive decisions based on fear of missing out on potential gains. This can often lead to irrational buying behavior, especially when it comes to investing in assets like Bitcoin. For those who already hold Bitcoin and are looking to accumulate more, this may not necessarily be considered FOMO buying. This is because they are already invested in assets and are looking to increase their holdings for strategic reasons rather than simply following the crowd. Whether you're excited for a potential bull run or content with your current holdings, it's part of a range of perspectives within the crypto community. As long as you're making informed decisions and staying true to your own strategy, that's all that matters.

Many people are in the same situation as you think about the current market situation. The bull run that was supposed to start next year has already started but ETF approval is not yet. Whalers will want to take that opportunity. Whales will prepare their holdings for the potential bull market. They will get the highest price when the bull market starts. I think the market will pull back a bit again if the Bitcoin ETF is not approved, but again bull market will come because of the halving. Meanwhile Bitcoin price has reached 44k which is more than expected according to the time. For those who haven't invested yet, it's best to wait till ETF approval. But those who are reluctant to invest for long term can still invest.

Yea, I do. So many coins seem so tempting to buy but where is liquidity? I actually seem more satiated in bear season, everything rising makes me so restless.

I've been there too, but sometimes there is just some feeling that you will need to add more from what you have been purchasing at a lower price via DCA. This kinda similar to FOMO and it is a feeling of greed that we need to take advantage to maximize our profit from the current price surge.
Some may even think of getting a loan to try and add something to their holdings especially in times like this. Those who has been here for quite some time already know what kind of price we are anticipating in a few months away from the bitcoin halving and the post halving pump.
But then again, those who have been accumulating from the start will not totally going to be affected by FOMO.

For now, many people are taking the opportunity first before 2024 starts. especially at this time where it is better to prepare in advance than to be late. As for what the results of the Bitcoin ETF will be, sometimes we don't pay attention to it, because for those who know Bitcoin and aim for long-term investment, of course it is still worth investing at this time. and sometimes many people think that the end of the year is the time for crypto to increase

I believe everyone is feeling this way, just to varying degrees. It's hard to resist the allure when Bitcoin keeps surging, despite constant predictions of an impending correction from the wider consensus. Those who haven't established a position and are waiting to buy at a lower price are truly restless. I've missed out on buying Bitcoin at two good price points, $16k and $25k. I'm experiencing some serious FOMO even though I've been in this market for two cycles. This year's Bitcoin cycle is particularly uncomfortable.

But let's take a step back to see the bigger picture. Bitcoin has been on a continuous rise since the beginning of the year, with no significant correction yet. Moreover, it's getting very close to the $48k resistance zone, which isn't easy to overcome at the moment, in my opinion. So instead of FOMOing into Bitcoin right now, perhaps I should consider some promising altcoins for short-term profits before the market undergoes a significant correction.

FOMO?? Hype?? I've seen the market go to a bull run twice, and it came to a point already where I don't feel anything at all when I see the market going up, and at the same time when it's going down.

I don't feel anything at all. No excitement, no sadness because I feel that I didn't accumulate enough Bitcoin, no disappointment, nothing. I mean I don't know, but I don't feel anything. I'm just waiting for Bitcoin and other altcoins to reach my target selling prices. I'm focusing more on my strategy, and being emotional isn't a part of it. I'm disappointed in myself because I didn't sell all of my assets during the last bull run a few years ago, but this time I will not miss the opportunity anymore.

Bitcoin will reach $100,000. That's a fact, and it's only a matter of when it will happen. It might happen on the next bull run which is highly likely to happen, or it might happen on the next bull run after the upcoming one. No need to get FOMO'ed as of this moment. Focus on your strategy (if you have one). Continue saving money so when the market goes down, you have some money to be used in buying assets at a cheaper price.

It's important to try to save as much as you can during this period, I have taken a debt right now to pay for some stuff so I can't really save at the moment, and I know that I am going to end up missing the next bull run, but I know that I could make some profit with smaller amounts if I could get in with some of the alts that go crazy, so I am trying to get a small amount to just have a good return from those, I will not get rich, and I will be quite poor even after the bull run, but at least I will be able to say I am poor without a debt, that's my goal.

However, I will keep on saving later on, after the debt is finished, there will be yet another bull run during 2028-2029 and that means I have a lot of time to save a lot of bitcoins aside for those times.

I feel like I could have acquired more yes.
I also feel some type of way about them calling it a super cycle and I'm not holding more.
But I've learned over the years crying over realized losses isn't going to make gains or really benefit me in any way.
I'm counting my blessings , if I'm meant to have more then it'll come my way.

The fear of missing out can become a very dangerous and risky move if it is the reason for buying. It is better if there is a research or analysis done before buying but basing our judgement on the current price might trigger FUD at the end of the day. Take for example an investor might see the the sharp move of bitcoin and feels they will make quick profit by the next bullish push only for them to run out patience because of possible delay in the push and sell out of FUD only to see the price pump after some time

Your approach to financial limits and potential advantages is admirable. One acknowledges your debt predicament; its difficult. Although dangerous, your idea to invest in altcoins in tiny sums is smart. Altcoin markets are volatile, thus great rewards frequently come with high risks.

Your long-term vision is reasonable. Post-debt, channeling savings into Bitcoin for the anticipated 2028-2029 bull run shows foresight. Bitcoin tends to reward patient investors despite its swings. Your desire to be "debt-free", if not wealthy, is realistic and admirable. Not just wealth accumulation, but financial stability and freedom. The path to financial freedom is typically a marathon, not a sprint. Persistence and patience help.

You should not regret if you missed some opportunity, I always tell myself at such moments that if there was this opportunity, it means that there will always be another one. So take this missed opportunity as a lesson you need to learn so you don't miss out on the next opportunity.

And I will tell you that there are always opportunities around us, this applies not only to investments in cryptocurrency, they are truly always around us, we just need to pay attention to them.

We are now approaching a bull market, so we should not sell the coins that we have now, the coming years will be very good for cryptocurrency, and we should not give in to any FOMO, we hold and wait for our goals.

I wouldn't rush to conclusions. It's still too early for bull season. Prepare yourself mentally that there will (we may see) a sharp drop.

Seeing the rising price of bitcoin often gives a similar feeling of “we need more gold bitcoin”! There's nothing you can do about it.

You should have stocked up more bitcoin while it was available, but, as always, you doubted (in bitcoin) and only new hype (fomo) and greed are forcing you to now want to get more bitcoin.

You have the behavior of a capricious investor, while true investors act with a cool head.

Only beginners.

Maybe a little bit but not entirely. I have been accumulating Bitcoin for a while now. I am seeing some profit from my investments, but that doesn't mean that I will invest more because of the recent market condition. It is already known that Bitcoin will eventually cross all the boundaries and make a new all-time high in the next bull run. So why is it that now we should feel FOMO?

I am happy with my investment and the profit is going to be good. Just by watching the current market price, if you feel like investing, never do that. These are short term hype that has nothing to do with the long term plans. See the bigger picture and don't feel emotional.

I think everyone who trades has experienced FOMO. So am I, but I have learned from my trading experience. So right now I'm avoiding FOMO. There is indeed a sense of difficulty eliminating but when you are disciplined then I believe slowly you can eliminate FOMO. Indeed, the first key is mental and emotional, if you are able to control both then discipline with a target will be easy to do, so you will avoid FOMO.

It probably depends on the portfolio someone is holding. If you are invested quite a bit already, FOMO may not be a big deal every single time the green candles pop up. But if someone just found out about BTC or dared to invest small amounts, I think FOMO is much more of a thing to that person.

But yes experience is huge here. Everyone who went through the stormy weathers that BTC held for us in the past, is better equipped with the tools to cope with emotions during crashes or moon rides. We all know where it can end! :)

I remember the days when FOMO hit me hard or anxiety to lose it all. I think nothing can take that away from you except for experience.

The rise of Bitcoin makes many to be happy because that is what everyone is waiting for. And for those who have been investing since when Bitcoin was at the rate $16k last year will be very happy to see this price like this. And the time when this thread was created Bitcoin market e was on green and the price surpassed the $44k before coming back to $43k today as of this comment. And we all know that the price is volatile so if anyone who is interested to purchase Bitcoin as the op said that he is interested to accumulate more can so now.it is not too late.

Everyone invests according to their own plans and expectations from the future. Everyone's emotions are different and investing may vary accordingly. I think no one is at fault because not everyone invests the same way. The important point here is that the investor makes his investment according to a plan and follows his own plan.

We all know bull season is coming. If you are an investor who knows how to wait, you can eventually make a profit. We can sometimes act emotionally when investing, and I think this is something that can change with experience.

FOMO is a normal thing but letting FOMO stop you from facing the reality is going to be a regrettable mistake whi h I think the op don't want to make or do you? If you are a strong holder keep still because there is a tendency that the price of Bitcoin may hit $50k before the end of December don't let the rise and fail of the price stop you from accumulating more if you are capable. Personally Fomo lest me when I saw the price move to $35k I was a bit relieved because I thought Bitcoin price will still go down maybe till 2024 but I got it all wrong seeing that the price hit to $44k and still going to go up soonest.

Everyone has different plans when investing and the availability of capital does not stop us from continuing to collect bitcoins. Investing must be done responsibly and overexerting yourself can affect your psychology so it must be a reasonable amount so that you can be responsible and can make it feel comfortable to do so.

Long-term holders will definitely be much more profitable because the price will continue to soar according to the current cycle. It is normal to be emotional when the bull season arrives because we see prices rising slowly which makes people feel regretful when they did not buy before the bullish season.

With long-term holders, they have to beat themselves first, before can get profit from the market.

Because they hold their coins long-term, they must hold those coins safely and there is a vital need for safe storage method. If they plan to hold coins long-term but only let their coins on centralized exchanges, they will be rekted anytime.

It is not like a paranoid thinking but it is a vital and strong reminder for everyone who want to build up their wealth with hodling.
Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5421039.0)

I feel like we're going up too much, and also too quickly. It's been, what, 2 months since the last time BTC took a little break? Of course I'm happy when it goes up but at the same time I don't feel like this is good in the long run, it has to slow down otherwise there is the risk to see a massive sell off after the ETF gets approved. I'm not sure I would buy more in this situation, I don't think it would be a smart move.

There's nothing wrong buying bitcoin right now, if you really want to and you know what you're doing.

I've never feel FOMO to be honest, because I know there's only limited amount of bitcoin I can accumulate in a certain period of time. I don't stress myself out on something that I don't have any control or anything. I'm happy on whatever I have, what matter is that I can also have a profit when Bitcoin's gonna make another all time high in the future.

Not me, but my spouse does, for sure. Every time Bitcoin goes up at least $1k, she asks me if she made a mistake by not buying more earlier, and then she goes ahead to buy a small amount and sells it for a small percentage of profit and then regrets when the price goes even higher, lol. That happens with everyone, trading cryptocurrencies is a roller coaster and one will always have mixed emotions unless they have planned and decided everything beforehand.

People who have or had liquid assets when the market was still low, like around $26k, and didn't buy Bitcoin or anything and they have seen the market coming this far will surely feel FOMO throughout the run that we have seen, and it's natural because you see yourself losing out on great profits when you also had money to invest.

I am also excited for Bitcoin to have a small rally before Christmas. To me it was just a matter of time before the crypto boom would come back. Any price levels above 40k USD are huge and I hope that we are going to stay on those levels for next year and not fall back down again. FOMO can be a risk when we are only running behind the trend and never actually participate. As long as you already own Bitcoins and participate in the current rally, I would try to not start buying large amounts now for the fear of FOMO. In my opinion the best approach to acquire crypto currencies is still the DCA method and it worked really well in 2023. Buying a fixed number of coins every month or every two weeks, is going to lead to a great average purchase price, as the long-term trend of Bitcoins is positive. We need to be realistic when it comes to FOMO, buying now large amounts would mean that we think the rally is just starting and there is a big upside potential. In case you don't own any Bitcoins at all I would consider buying some, in any other case I would just keep my current ones and wait for a new ATH before taking profits.

Fun story, I can attest that it definitely happens to the best of us, you selling for a small profit and then the price starts surging again which is a doozy for you but I have learned to not care too much about what happens after whenever I sell a small portion of my bitcoin hoard to buy some stuff that I want to buy. The best thing to do when you feel that feeling of missing out or that you should have sold a bit later to enjoy a bigger profit is just think of selling that bitcoin and making a profit out of it as free money that you did not work too hard to get and that you're just enjoying that free money and it should be a mindset for us that free money should be guilt free.

Every time before market goes up i told myself "no fomo" and after i get fomo again. Nothing changes...

You said it slides back. Then why continue being positive and say that we are now entering the bull run?
What if the thing that happened lately is only just a trap? This is why we shouldn't FOMO. Even without the latest happenings or before we invest in Bitcoin, the excitement is already there. Its level can only go high or low depending on what we saw and hear.

What you are currently feeling there is I think what you don't call a FOMO anymore but it is greediness, because you said you haven't get enough. But then, you also said this was supposed to be the Bitcoin that you are already comfortable with. You should follow this one better.

This is why I accumulated as much bitcoin as I can last bear market. I don't want to get FOMOed at time like this and regret it when hit with a correction. Right now, I'm satisfied with the bitcoin I currently have but I still want to add more if a deep correction occur. Currently, I'm a calm guy that is just waiting for things to happen, whether it continue goes up or go down, I'm all good.

I've experienced being FOMOed and being too late last bull market and I don't want to experience that kind of regret again even I profited last bull market, the profit margin would be much much better if I buy early when the market is in chaos of dumping. I know most of us knows that we will experience a bull market soon, that's why I took advantage of the bear market to get as much bitcoin as I can.

So lesson learned, if you don't want to get FOMOed, do a research as early as you can and take advantage of opportunities to accumulate.

Personally, No.

Purchasing Bitcoin regularly can help you not to get FOMO'd, no matter what the price is, you won't be tempted because you have a long-term goal. You are being prepared for this kind of scenario and already know what you need to do. The same with the holder which purchased in a lump sum during the bear season, they already prepared their Bitcoin holdings for this bull market.

The ones who are getting FOMO'd are those people who don't have enough experience and knowledge in the market. They didn't prepare for the bull run and didn't want to get left behind. Most of the time, this becomes the reason why they get more losses.

Agree! This is a very common problem for newbies, and most people lose money by making decisions at the wrong time. Those people who are experiencing FOMO are the one who doesn't have enough idea about the market. As we know that FOMO is a common feeling more likely of anxiety,  it is liable to lead you to make mistakes like buying more than you can afford. More likely, FOMO will lead you to buy when the price is too high, and sell when the price is too low.

Op that's the "how I wish" syndrome running through your head.

How I wish I had bought much more than I did!

How I wish this... How I wish that...

Innately as humans we are not satisfied with what amount of a thing we own, we can only wish we had more, but have you asked yourself what happens to those that have just a piece/little of what you have, it about those that don't even own it BTC at all?

Maybe with this food for thought we can always appreciate the amount of bitcoin we have been able to accumulate and hodl, and them work out ways to continue accumulating more because that amount bitcoin you think you haven't accumulated well enough is someone's else's dream of reaching at as a bitcoin owner.

So far so good, let enjoy the bullrun and the profits the follows, no FOMO no worries. ;D

Seeing how bitcoin price has continously made a significant surge, I guess everyone will be easily tempted to ride the FOMO thinking that bitcoin price will be a lot more in the next couple of days and weeks. Even myself if I have the opportunity to buy more, I would glady do that despite of the high, expensive value. But since I have this tight budget, then I should only stick to what I can only afford.

I believe majority here feels the same most especially to those who actually know and have witnessed how bitcoin behaves months after bitcoin halving. But just like me, if your budget is only limited, then I suggest you focus on what you have and just continue seeing them growing in value.

You know I once had Bitcoin and I sold it for some reason, now I'm trying to get as much as I can even though I do sell some at some point when I feel the need to. I don't FOMO, I know we have passed certain levels and Bitcoin can't retest those levels but I prefer to be on the positive side of leaving FOMO out of my head, when I can, I buy.

I think that BTC is still a clear buy. Trying to time the market has never really worked for me and if I have cash left over, I usually use it to increase my holdings. Unless something unforeseen catastrophic happens to the network, I have no idea why it would not go back to its former ATH and then even higher. If it wasn't about to go to new heights, why the recovery until where we are now? A lot is happening and now it is only legal stuff that could get in the way of it and slow its development down, but stopping it completely won't happen. As Jamie Dimon said he would shut BTC down if he was part of the government. I wish someone makes him president so we can see how this genius will "shut down" BTC! :D

I do, have been getting thoughts about buying more than what I have right now to achieve more gains in the future but I keep telling to myself that I’d have more chances to do so snd to not let the FOMO get to me.strategically buying your crypto is just as important as buying crypto itself. At least if we’re talking sbout maximizing your earning potential which I believe is something that’s in the mind of the regular investor anyway.

If you want to get into the crypto train this early and this pricey, that’s fine. It’s still great to have you around. But us folks here would wait and see the markets pan out to discern whether buying is the right take to do. So yeah. Good luck to everyone of us I guess.

Isn't that why people 'fomo buy' BTC, because they don't buy any of it when the price is low and a little bit stable, but once the price starts to rise, they want to rush in and buy BTC. Personally i don't think that is the right way to buy BTC, because you can never time the market to perfection, if you believe in BTC and you are in for the long term, it is better you buy using dca, than waiting for the price to rise before you 'fomo buy'.

I think most of us are having the fear of missing out “bug” at this point in time.  I often have this feeling when Bitcoin is on a ride, but right now it’s very obvious that Bitcoin is on its way to an even bigger breakout than what we’ve seen so far, especially since the announcement of the first Bitcoin ETF hasn’t even been approved yet. When it does, watch out. Stack on !

Considering the potential and the upcoming halving into consideration it is always good to go for more when there is an opportunity. FOMO is common among the people who wants to buy at the lowest price, but they never do it when the price is at the bottom. Keeps waiting and finally invest when the price is at the urge of moving bullish. Whenever we enter the market we need to be good enough to handle upcoming situations, because we can't be sure of the bullish/bearish trend change of the market.

I actually feel the same way somehow and for sure to all the people out there who's aware what will be the future price of bitcoin. No one just want to see the price consistently surging high without anything to do, because if there's really enough money to accumulate more bitcoin, I would be the first to do that. For me, FOMOing is not really bad as long as you know what you are doing, why you are spending such amount.

But if you FOMO because you just want to ride with the hype, because the people are busy buying, then I should say that you are FOMOing without valid reason. If you are like that, then the danger of losing your funds is obviously high.

I don't feel that because this is all expected for me. I'd love to collect more coins at cheap prices but this hoarding game would eventually end so why would I feel I miss out on something? You can't save all your life, you need to spend some and these cycles are great way to do that. I can't wait to see new highs and spend some coins. BTW we are still far from those days. Don't be too hyped about small rallies.

I don’t very much like to attribute the success of Bitcoin lately to be ETF motivated as, this is even coming to be in times close to the halving. For the most, the ETFs is motivated by the halving as by some means to take advantage of the history it’s known to carry and next halving wouldn’t be any different.
The more reason why, individual and corporate investors should take out their chances now that they have it and stop expecting the coin to drop further. It’s the easiest way to miss out as you really can’t predicted where or how far that little dump would be to provide that buying opportunity rather, you DCA and wait on the halving to come and go before you decide on what phase your Bitcoin investment is going to take.

That is not a big problem because they understand and almost many people will target long -term for investment in Bitcoin. Planning will deliver this desire because investment in Bitcoin can be done in any amount and if they are consistent, it will slowly continue to grow over time. Of course this will be far more important because the issue of Bitcoin's ownership security must be prioritized and the exchange is not a recommendation for anyone to store bitcoin in the long and short term.

We realize that the exchange is like a place to transit is not a step to store bitcoin safely and before taking the opportunity to undergo investment, we first oversee a safe wallet. When we build the wealth of assets with slowly not thinking about a safe place to store it will actually affect the level of security and that is very important.

If just one Bitcoin ETF application is approved then it means there will be other approvals for bitcoin ETFs submitted by many other companies. And all those companies are definitely going to buy Bitcoin or maybe they started a long time ago. But what is certain is that the price will definitely rise very quickly. FOMO will truly penetrate every novice investor, even those who have been around for a long time. Personally, I sometimes still accumulate it again. Like today when bitcoin experienced a rapid correction to the $40,400 dollar area. One of my buy entries was filled automatically. But I don't want FOMO with buying more. I only buy with money I can afford to risk.

Well, I definitely wish I had more BTC. But I bought as much as I could when it was below $20,000. So this feeling doesn't overwhelm me.

Following current market conditions and especially the long-awaited break of the 37,300 resistance zone and the break of the 44,000 resistance zone, many small investors think that the bull season has truly begun. Yes, there are various reasons to state that this thought is correct but unfortunately based on our previous experiences we cannot fully enter the bull period mode.

Although I have been waiting for the bull period to come for a long time like many investors, unfortunately it will not be possible to say that I am fully prepared for this period. In order to reach the Bitcoin amount I set as my target for the bull period, I need to buy some more Bitcoin and unfortunately I can add less in Bitcoin every salary period. Of course, I am very close to my target amount for the bull period but it would have been much better for me if the bull period had started after I had achieved all my goals.

I also think that bull market is started but in low intensity as of now however it may get more intense in coming months. We might have a better surprise for this Christmas and there can be another upward moment at that time. The bull market always gives up possibilities and this time we may see a lot of money entering into crypto market.

I believe that in this bull run we may see unexpected values of Bitcoin and many other altcoins. Bitcoin may grow as high as $200k or even more and I believe that Bitcoin can easily reach $100k to $120k in this bull run. The market is growing and the investors are also growing so we may have great surprises in this bull run.

I understand. Even if the feeling of FOMO is not a good thing, I do not support it, buying BTC at an appropriate price could earn you way more profit than just buying it when ever you get the money to buy BTC. Let's say you bought BTC when it rose to 44k and then it fell to 30k. You would think BTC is just a waste but buying lower and keep holding as it gets higher could benefit you more than when you buy higher

Since you like buying I think using Dual Investment would be helpful

Quick one. Make I congratulate you first for your rank up. You don try. Two crayfish for you!

Back to the issue. You delayed to this point before taking position on Bitcoin? Is that what you're saying? Well, it's never too late. I took a position on Bitcoin and threw in huge cash a few weeks ago when it was still in that $30k – $34k range. I regretted when I didn't do it when it stalled at $22k – $23k. So, buying now shouldn't also be seen as FOMO; it's a reality of price rallying up in preparation for bull run. All you've to do is watch price levels and be buying in bits once there's correction. That's what I would do if I were you.

Unless you're in DCA mode, which I would think most of us with full member status and above already are doing in some way or other right? I never need to fomo already since dca keeps me on a strict diet :) I mean, I couldn't even really do more even if I felt itch to fomo unless I take out a loan. And I strongly advice to go against loans :)

Stack on people. Try not to fall for alts ;)

If in doubt, then wait. Well, it is normal to feel such way 'coz the market price is continuously increasing at this moment. Nothing's guaranteed but have we ever saw the market value of Bitcoin to consistently and continuously increase for a long period of time? What goes up must come down right? If we would look at the charts then there's a huge overbought to its price which means there's a tendency for a price correction at any moment. Keep in mind that the market value of Bitcoin is naturally volatile; it would have an increase instantly therefore there are still opportunities to re-enter.
He can make an entry even if with the present market value however if ever sudden dump will take place, he should be firmed and be able to avoid selling due to panic. It'll go up again but problem is for how long will it be able to recover. So if others are planning as well, be ready to endure seeing dumps once it happen.

Anyone who already has a fundamental understanding of the Bitcoin market will know already how and why Bitcoin is at its current price,  because a lot of times Bitcoin have made similar price movement and for sure,  this will not be the last time to see such Bitcoin market movement most especially in price benchmark and in between mini bull run, what we have now if you missed out of the trend,  instead fomo,  you should prepare ahead of the next market possibility unless we already hard the last bitcoin price discount level but I am sure we will still have a long time to wait for such bottom touched price such like we hard in the last time when Bitcoin touched 15k.

Those who bought at the 15k Bitcoin discount price are already in profit by now,  while those who bought Bitcoin when the price was around 45k-50k will be seeing the current Bitcoin price as just recovery and nothing more to it and will still have a long time to wait for the price to gain more for them to be in profits.

Its not surprising to see everyone get tempted with FOMO since bitcoin position is really doing well, although it's price is currently showing a price decline. But we all know it will skyrocket again and reach another new heights. However, if you have already gained sufficient amount to hold for long term, then no need to FOMO, at least you have lessen the risk of losing. But for those who wish to FOMO, my only advice is, invest at your own risk. Spend an amount that you will not be needing to pay your bills or rentals.

Even myself, I also feel riding with this FOMO. And most likely, I will get there soon once I have gained spare money to invest.

This is a better FOMO than the others that we've been having with several altcoins. Mostly today with meme coins, too much FOMO is happening there. People think that they'd get millions of money by having billions of meme coins that haven't been pumped yet. The jackpot in the lottery as it seems but the closer to the reality is to get FOMOed with Bitcoin. Not yet on the peak but we're starting to see the bull run.

I think most of this meme coin FOMO is over, thank god! I agree that some of them were good for a laugh and when you take DOGE, it was funny what was happening around it and how that coin could establish itself at the top of CMC, but honestly it became ridiculous when the fifth coin with a dog or the third coin with a frog was pumped and made it speculators lose money. However, if someone ever lost money on a coin with a dog or a frog, I doubt that they deserve a lot of empathy. I think nobody would expect an investment into these types of collectibles to make them rich outside of crypto. They are memes and the value itself is a joke for its most part.

BTC FOMO is less dangerous than the meme coin or shit coin FOMO as BTC will actually not go to zero and has excellent prospects to recover if someone got the timing totally wrong or was unlucky. At least that person isn't left with vaporware afterwards.

I understand being around 41k is a little "fearful" for some people, we were on our way to 45k and nearing that level and everyone assumed that it would be possible and suddenly we are all out, so I do understand the situation, its not that easy and its not something that we would all want, its unwanted when its lower. However, you need to understand that you need to have downs for ups to make sense. Plus, we are not that far off, its less than %10 away, another 4.1k increase (%10) means it would be something like 46k+ so much more than what it peaked, we are that close to going to a new high again, its not down too bad yet, and there is absolutely no need to have any worry about the situation.

We don't know. But if they do then there's still the halving that's coming for Bitcoin and they cannot skip that part because the altcoins season might also come. If they seem to be over then, there's nothing we can do right now or I mean the meme coin holders because that's all what they have to do on their end, wait again until the boom starts to come.

They need to understand and accept that for real. BTC have that advantage although the risk remains on it but with its status on the market now, it's a choice that they've got less worry.

Since I learned how volatile the crypto market is long ago, I don't try to force myself to invest in bitcoin out of FOMO again. Investing in Bitcoin out of Fomo can make a person think about his or her bitcoin investment each time the Bitcoin price falls below the price invested. But if you were to invest in bitcoin in DCA strategy, whether Bitcoin is on its rise or not, you wouldn't have a fomo attitude because you have been investing before the increase in Bitcoin price began to skyrocket to $40k above.

Bitcoin price touched $44k and crossed $44k within few days but now we are seeing some dumping in the market. However, I think this is a temporary dumping of the market and the market will pump again very soon. There will be no surprise if the market comes to $39k from the state it is in. It seems to me that the market can get back to $39k and pump big again from $39k and Bitcoin price can reach $48k with a big pump. I shared the matter only with my little knowledge prediction and that is what I think. The Bitcoin market is close to $39k so we can expect the market to pump heavily from this situation. As an investor I expect that 2024 will be a positive start for Bitcoin.

It is simply this way, whoever does not understand what volatility is, do not invest in Bitcoin. Even in the middle of the bull market when ATHs are beaten there are also downturns where some people get scared and sell because they think that the big drop has just started and it is better to sell before the price goes down more. Some people go from FOMO to FUD in a matter of minutes.

But it is like buying Pokemon cards hoping that one of them will explode one day and make me rich. But can that really be considered fun considerate? I think when someone wants to get involved with cryptocurrencies, there is a big difference if they choose to invest in BTC while educating themselves about it and maybe contributing themselves through writing, coding, whatever else they could do, or they choose to invest in some shit coin just to hope to double their money at some point. I admit I have done that myself when exploding shit coins were still a thing, but I would never recommend anyone who is serious about innovation and decentralized networks to get into some shit coin. If someone wants to double their money, rather roll the dice.

Btc is now trading above 41k which is still positive as there is big support around 40k. If btc break this support then we might see straight dump to 38k which will be not good sign. Yesterday price drop below 40700 and fear created but now everything looks well. Btc is gradually moving upward , very close to 42k. Since this is temporary dump which is healthy which provide a bullish opportunity. If btc remains stable here for some days then very soon we will see price above 48k.

Yeah, Considering where we were just a month ago, $41k is a pretty healthy position for Bitcoin to be in.  We've definitely seen this sort of pullback in price before, and more often than not it leads into another push higher.  The fact that bitcoin bounced right around $40,700 seems promising.  I'm pretty optimistic we'll see bitcoin start marching upwards again soon and  overall things still look bullish to me in the bigger picture. I'm not saying that this is guaranteed to happen, but it's certainly a possibility. Bitcoin has a long history of making big moves, and I wouldn't be surprised if it does it again in the near future.

I actually predicted Bitcoin to reach $40-$50k towards the end of the year, and I am not surprised at the price because for the past 11 months, the price has always remained around $20k-$30k. It's just this month that we saw the ATH for this year, and it could also be that the price will not fall back to $30k again. I'm kind of feeling bullish already.

@OP, I don't think any new investor in Bitcoin (or someone who have less than 10 Bitcoin at least) will actually feel satisfied with any amount of Bitcoin that they are holding. Investors always want to accumulate more because they feel they have not held enough. Likewise, even if I have up to 100 pieces of Bitcoin, there is no way I will settle with it if there is every possibility that I can still acquire more Bitcoin. So, that's your feeling, which is actually normal.

Yes, many investors think that the bull market has begun and current conditions actually support this but compared to previous bull periods and previous bull trap experiences, I don't think we are in a completely crazy bull period yet. My guess is that if we are in the beginning of the bull period, we will truly feel it in the next few months as you mentioned. Especially due to the Christmas and new year in the coming period, it is highly likely that there will be possible relaxations in the market and we will encounter new buying opportunities.

Especially considering the past bull periods I think that in the event of a possible hard bull period we will see serious money inflows in the market and many successful crypto projects especially Bitcoin gain value. However, this time instead of seeing every cryptocurrency rise wildly during the bull period, we can only see the rise of seriously successful cryptocurrencies. In this process, I also think that Bitcoin can reach a new all-time record and even reach a value of over 100,000 USD if some surprises occur. Of course, the 200,000 USD level seems a bit unlikely at the moment but since many investors are hungry to make profits there may be a crazy price increase after a serious money inflow and we may see the price levels we mentioned in the next few months.
