Bitcoin Forum

I have been buying small amounts of bitcoin for over 10 years. While I was always knew bitcoin would grow I did hope that some events might make it jump up in price say 3 to 5 times. Events like etf approval, a harvening etc. I still remember those charts that had predicted supersonic prices by now. But now read that both the etf and harvening aew now priced in and yet the price is not even an earlier all time high.

Does that mean the excitement days are over. Has bitcoin become boring in terms of big price fluctuations☹️

Come again, you have been buying small amounts of Bitcoin for over 10 years? So 11 years or 12 years? It's hard to believe your story but if you've been doing this for more than 10 years, you must have a lot of Bitcoin already.

But how come you don't even know how to spell halving until now? How come your are still hoping that Bitcoin will multiply 3 to 5 times? Bitcoin has already multiplied several times since 10 years ago.

You sound too worried that there wasn't a sudden spike in the price. If I have been buying Bitcoin for more than 10 years, I wouldn't care whether it's growth is boring these days.

So, what do you want to do next when you reach your target? Bitcoin has soared to this figure several times in its fluctuations over the past 10 years.

The sentiment of people welcoming the ETF approval event isn't very bullish, Bitcoin has already reached ATH in the current halving cycle. And these ETF companies only added their portfolio collection by a tiny % (maybe), it doesn't necessarily mean that new investors in this market will come massively. To ignite your spirit of hope, just wait for the next halving cycle.

Are you Japanese bro? It's halving/halvening. That's no biggie but let's go to the point.

This is what you think but the market is always full of surprises. When people think that the ICOs were the only catalyst of the market since 2017 bull run, we've seen the same crowdfunding through IEO, STOs, etc. And then even til' now there are still that think that they are now. So after this Bitcoin spot etf applications, there's actually more to wait for like adoption from the actual government, more legal tender proposals and announcements, etc.

If you are a true investors as like what you said having 10 years in buying small amounts?  this must not  be for fun instead this is for future investment .

But what i was wondering here is that imagine you started buying bitcoin when the price is not even a hundred bucks per bitcoin yet you maintained buying smaller ?
why not for the first 4 years that you experienced halving then that is for sure that you may consider buying higher and higher because you have watched this coin grows so is this a real life story ? sorry for asking but just a curiosity comes in mind mate.

The real excitement STARTS once the halving has happened and the mtgox coins have been distributed.

If you want to trade in the long term, the excitement will begin, as the price before the end of the year may reach the levels of $100,000, but in the short term there may be some correction in a repeat of the price cycle in 2013, and this may not happen, but if you want to take caution, consider that the peak is $58,000 for the next 6 months, and the bottom is $28,000, and the price will move in this direction and may be at the same current levels in April.

The price does not interact directly with halving and it takes an average of 4-6 months before we see green candles.

Over the past 10 years, you have gone through several ATHs and you have felt the price increase many times even though the amount of Bitcoin you bought was small.
You've already started and your excitement will peak if you continue to want the long term with the Bitcoin holdings you add to your portfolio.

When an event such as an ETF approval occurs, expectations for the market to move higher in price automatically may not occur or what happens may actually be corrected again.

But be patient because Bitcoin's long-term targets will not betray investors.
We believe complete bullishness will occur after the halving. We never get bored with Bitcoin price fluctuations in the market because that is the difference between Bitcoin and other assets such as gold, in fact we are very happy with the current state of the market.

If you compare the previous halving, you will know that the bitcoin prices usually dump post halving and then slowly start to recover and then we will witness the bull season peak about one to 1.5 years after the halving event. So how can you have that halving event are priced in already? You need to see and understand the halving effects before you come to such conclusions.

Also, for the Bitcoin ETF, we will see gradual constant demand of bitcoin mainly because of ETF and ETF was never a pump and dump event. Here you also need to understand what is ETF and how it will affect on bitcoin in the long term duration.

I don't thin that the price of halving is price it, you do know that halving has not yet started right? Don't you worry about the ETF, I mean it is has a big effect then good, if not then it won't hurt the market. It's the halving that we are concern of, and come April or after it happened, that is the good measurement on how the market will move in the next two years.

And I think it is still very exciting though, prediction says that we will see at least 6 digits. If this happens then it is the first time that we will see this price. So if you are really a holder for over 10 years, this is could be the best year for you and see how your portfolio will grow after hitting $100k.

If you bought any amount of Bitcoin ten years ago, you should be happy now if you still hold onto it better. Because you can directly compare the price of Bitcoin ten years ago with the price of Bitcoin today and usually people who have known Bitcoin for more than ten years are people who are very mature in their belief in Bitcoin so they won't be in a rush to ask or ask questions. thought about "the days of excitement are over" just because there was a slight price correction after yesterday's increase due to the impact of the ETF approval.

Probably there was a mistake and OP has been buying bitcoin for the last 1 year. 1.1 years or 1.2 years. Otherwise, his statements sound implausible. Bitcoin owners with 10 years or more of experience would think differently. For bitcoin has jumped over the last 10 years by more than 3-5, which is what the author complains about.

Maybe because he sees this word for the first time? In 10 years.:)

Because he probably invested in bitcoin quite recently and hopes to get these X's (3-5 times).

Every word of OP calls into question his statement about more than 10 years of investing in bitcoin.

You've been in the crypto space for 10 years (or more) but too unfortunate that you are not still convinced about the situation and the potential ATH.
After several years of getting involved with the market crash and hype, you're still in doubt. I was speechless but one thing I would say is that you feel bored because you are in a hurry and are tired of waiting for the bull season which in fact you have experienced and you are doing this in the past.

Of course, there is no excitement to feel once your mind is already closed to positivity. Impatient people can never succeed but failure. 

The ETF hype is over, that much is clear. The excitement was based on the approval and launch, it was never based on the usage or volume afterwards, these things take time to build. However the halving is only 4 months away, and to me that is always an exciting period, even if is usually based on more price stability rather than a parabolic move to the upside like we've seen in 2023.

To me, regardless of price correcting from here, it seems a correction will only last around 4 months, as opposed to 9-12 months like we've seen in the past, due to the date of the halving and how long the retracement of Bitcoin took to reach it's 0.618 fib level - previously this has only taken 3-6 months, but this time it took 12 months. That said, if price is to return to $30K support, it's going to have to do so quickly, as once the halving occurs there won't be any more substantial decline, more likely sideways as we've usually seen (as miners initially balance out selling reduced supply with many switching off due to less rewards etc).

You have been buying bitcoin for 10 years with a small amount, of course you have gone through two cycles, right? Then you expect from the ETF approval event will jump bigger that you expect of course this is still no history unless you wait for the halving and wait for history to be carved again, so why expect more on the Bitcoin ETF news that you think will jump 5x more.

The excitement does not end you take too seriously before the halving occurs, fluctuations are natural in the movement of bitcoin, so you think bitcoin is too bored, but is it bored with HODL for 10 years or what?

Expect the unexpected as always on which there's really be no guarantee that whenever we do see these positive sentiments then it cant be sure that it would really be making out that sureness that it could pump out the price, just like on whats happening currently on which its true that despite of the ETF approval, the price didnt rocket off to the moon on which tons of people had really having that kind of disappointment because they are really that expecting something positive on which just like i have said earlier that dealing up with this unpredictable space comes up with unpredictable things along the way. We might be expecting something positive but look at on where we now which the price is really that having those slight retracement on which it is really that totally opposing on what we are expecting.

Some saying that pump might happen in the after months before the approval on which those are really just that speculations or assumptions but theres always that possibility
and this is something that people really that anticipating for it to happen. Dont make yourself that get disappointed on which we do know that price could neither
shoot up or not no matter how these fundamentals and other things that do affect or giving out that kind of vibe whether negative or positive.
It could move in a random manner.

I think what happened was that many were reading articles about bitcoin heading to new ATH or heading to $100K or $1M due to these bitcoin etfs. And so as soon as it launches, nothing happened.

When it was approved,  Nothing happened until the next morning when NY session was live. It went up for about an hour and then a huge dump. As it kept dipping people had the sell the news mentality and just sold and today was the same thing.

We need to look at the flows, for a week or so and see how much gets added to these etfs. And then we can judge if there is interest with these etfs from boomers and retirement portfolios.

It's hard to believe that you survive your 10 years of bitcoin accumulation if your mindset is like that. Know that bitcoin never stops to be volatile, so most probably bitcoin is still not at its best today that we should force it to gain its all time high. Rather than expecting a lot from bitcoin these days that it will immediately go to the moon, why not use this opportunity to accumulate more so you can prepare for the imminent bitcoin halving.

Bitcoin is not boring, and has never been. It always offers us a roller coaster ride, that's up for us how we will anticipate the price movement of bitcoin.

That is Bitcoin for you ;D, never expect anything outside of the box, and also be more active, to know when exactly when to sell or buy Bitcoin,  because these are the most two important things right now and as much as that, we also have to know that Bitcoin, doesn't act to the tone of anything and in as much as we speculate that Bitcoin price may jump after ETF approval, we also have to know that allot need to be considered in doing that, many at times we have seen that Bitcoin need to go outside the box to get things fixed, and at such, we need to trade with caution when dealing with things like Bitcoin,  and also we don't need to act in a particular manner because of news that we expect to carry, never the less we have to look into the things the way there are and also try not to overview anything or event to mean so much in Bitcoin...


Bitcoin can decide to act in any way and for sure there is news that can trigger Bitcoin price but even at that,  we also know that Bitcoin is a unique volatile asset that requires a lot of smartness to be able to, predict fairly what its price can be.

people have high expectations when it comes to this market, hence, they have a different approach at the beginning. and later on, they will understand that it is not easy to earn huge profits in this market. most of these noobs really thought that they will amass good money once they jump on this bandwagon. well, they are not really totally wrong, but it would take hard work to achieve such good profits. it is not an overnight task to do.


i think the holder should at least enjoy some of his investments. and not wait for another 10 years or so before you sell some of your stash. you are earning that amount and so enjoy the benefits from it. life is too short not to enjoy some perks from it.

I think it was rather expected, there was already a lot of noise beforehand that Bitcoin ETF was getting approved after all so it isn't really any surprise why the market didn't move as much as most people expected it to move. It is the Bitcoin market after all. There was also probably some stuff that happened in the background with regard to the ETF since we should have seen the market move with the new influx of buyers, but we didn't, so we can expect that they already had the coins to support the levels of new users that were incoming.

I'd probably wait a week to a month to see any big changes really.

Maybe this is getting more exciting now , because look at how much dropping we have now from which we all expect a great pump after that ETF approval so for me personally this is what a little know about the market or accept actually , the what we called siding or expectation.
while we wanted to see high growth but what we have got is the opposite reaction of the investors and so as the market.
what I was waiting is the coming months because it is normal that as soon as the Halving is coming is the more prices drops its value .

The exciting days aren't over, the halving after price hasn't been priced in. The ETF price might have been priced as no individual knew how the market will react to the news of Bitcoin ETF been approved but the market usually dumps with the news therefore what's happening to the market was expected. Many individual are selling as they think the market will dump more but don't belike them as they'll regret when the market starts pumping again as we wait for the halving to come.

So many times other individuals has thought that the excitement for Bitcoin is over but they have always been wrong and if you think the excitement is over too, you'll be wrong. Bitcoin ETF just got approved, what makes you think the excitement will be over when this was supported to be the beginning of the excitement. The market will pump back up, this is the whale manipulating the market so they can buy as they missed to buy or didn't buy to their satisfaction before.

if you have holding bitcoin from 10 years then I think you should not be worried about halving and ETF approval because the price is more higher as compared to 10 years ago. You can easily get profit and your profits will be more than other bitcoin holders as 10 years of duration is very long and your profit will be so higher that it can make you wealthy.

excitement days are not over because still there is a halving period after approval of bitcoin ETF so keep hold it and if you can wait for ten years then for you waiting for three or four months should not matters. In these 10 years bitcoin touched the higher value of 69k$ so you could easily take benefit from that event but I think you missed that opportunity but still there is a chance during halving so don't loss hope and continue your journey of success.

I think we need to wait a few months until mid-year to assess the impact of the ETF approval on bitcoin. We should not rush to evaluate what is happening in the short term when ETFs were only approved 2 days ago. I see a lot of people complaining and disappointed about bitcoin's price drop in recent days and claiming that ETFs don't have any positive impact on bitcoin. People always say they are long-term investors, they don't come here to get rich quickly but when bitcoin doesn't increase in price as they expected, they turn to criticize everything, it's funny.

Over 10 years wow. I guess you're not buying small amount of bitcoin during your first year I bet, because in 2013, bitcoin is below $1k so that means you can literally buy 1 bitcoin effortlessly compared to the price in 2016. There won't be any reason for you to get bored because for sure you have a huge bag if what you said is true. You've come a long way for more than 10 years and yet you worried because bitcoin hasn't start moving yet after the ETF approval news and the upcoming halving. Have you not been in the market from the past 10 years? The halving effect didn't usually come prior or on the day of the event, you should already know that. Nothing has priced-in yet.

I don't know what exactly your expectations are but then it will be safer and better for you to make your expectations realistic because there are some unrealistic expectations we do make and it turns out we become disappointed in the nearest future when these expectations are not met and I think this is one of such, the ETF didn't promise a supersonic spike in the price of Bitcoin neither was the halving is yet to begin let alone been conclude so I think you should slow down on your expectations and see what happens after the halving later this year, I don't know how much you know about Bitcoin if not you should me aware that we are expecting a bull market soon and then your expectations might be met or we may get close to it because you do have a very high expectations, but then it's still very possible it can be surpassed so don't give up just yet.

Better exciting days are ahead, Bitcoin is yet to get boring you just need some more patience and do note that Bitcoin isn't a get rich quick scheme but if you are patient and continue hodling you could get rich.

you claim that you have invested in bitcoin for 10 years, but only because the price of bitcoin does not rise because of bitcoin etf you are whining here, how is it possible that you have invested for 10 years in bitcoin but still have difficulty being confident in bitcoin? i just don't understand because it's quite funny for me when someone who is said to have invested for 10 years in bitcoin and whose account dates back to 2014 suddenly becomes active and says that the days of joy from bitcoin are over just because of this trivial problem.

Not all is really that long enough to be on this market on which if you do compare out to those hypes and boom up back in the past specially into that 2017-18 bull run then we can say that there's really that kind of surge of interest on where you would really be trying out to presume that the next years or cycle would really be much more higher but we are seeing different? I dont think so. Im not saying that
institutional money involvement or simply the government isnt something that would really be useless. We are really heading there and people been longing about this thing and now it happens
then whats next? We dont know on what would happen in the future. Thing here is that you should be wise on taking up positions while the price is still low.

I am thinking about the opposite. This is the start of the excitement and this has already created momentum for the upcoming bitcoin rally. Just look at the rally to 48K from below the 30K level. The industry is waiting for major bullish news for bitcoin after halving and those news is aligned for the perfect time to be released i think. The approval of the bitcoin ETF was already predicted and whales speculated on the price of bitcoin for this news. From here the territory is unknown because those asset managers have so much financial power that they can stagnate the market for a few years if they want. The rally of GOLD after its ETF approval was massive but look at the timeframe it took.

I also thought the same thing, I'm not sure he has invested for 10 years because he doubted a trivial matter, I know he was disappointed with the price prediction after the ETF was approved did not reach the highest price target but everything takes time to reach the high price, we have seen significant increase in the past few months, so it is the beginning for the market to reach the ATH target in the future and believe that the crypto market still has a long way to go and believe that you are already halfway to reaching the peak that you hope for, so be patient for the market target that you hope for in the future, I'm sure the desired price target will be achieved in 1 or 2 years.

The price of Bitcoin will not stop but there is a possibility of a further increase in the future. We've seen the price of Bitcoin go down a lot during bear markets, but currently it's almost skyrocketing. Bitcoin will definitely change, and its price will definitely increase four to five times though it takes time, and you have to be patient to see that position. After the ETF was approved, the value of Bitcoin increased a lot, and it is almost several times what it was before. As the halving event is waiting ahead, the price of Bitcoin is likely to increase further in the coming days. When the Bitcoin halving event ends, then the bull market will begin and at that time the price of Bitcoin will rise rapidly and reach all-time highs.

It's not yet OP and there's still a long way to go for a coin with this potential. They are just the beginning and I am very sure that soon BTC will get stronger. A few days ago, maybe it was just a moment of hype after the ETF was launched. What we need is to continue buying BTC if there is still excess funds because Bitcoin is heading to the moon and the SEC has officially approved all Spot ETFs and enjoy this journey.

The volatility alone is enough to give us an endless excitement. The key is to appreciate things but even if it's hard for them to do it, they are lucky because there are still lots of upcoming events here in crypto. ICO is something that doesn't excite us but it's the opposite since almost all of them are scam.

Good thing it disappeared and replaced by a better way to crowdfund. You already mentioned them. They are still being used up until now. BTC ETF and halving is different from them. These two events are only about Bitcoin. Once ETF in BTC is done, there might also be ETF from other cryptos. While halving will still continue in the next or after every 4 years.

If you bought bitcoin and held it for 10 years, it's a stretch to say it hasn't gone up 3-5x :) Events unfold and you expect a huge pump instantly, which means you don't understand bitcoin very well , etf helps widen adoption, halving helps reduce inflation and increase long-term value. That's phenomenal, you just need to be patient to see the next ATH

The temporary effect that occurs on Bitcoin in the market of increasing prices for just a few days is clearly due to the ETF approval. However, currently Bitcoin has returned to normal at a price range of $42K to $43K, which has reopened the opportunity for traders and investors to buy Bitcoin in larger amounts. Because remembering that the price is no longer as high as when the increase occurred in the last few days and in the future the potential for an increase in Bitcoin prices is still very open and could happen again before entering next month.

I agree, the ETF's are now in foundation stage, ready to be built upon metaphorically
speaking in terms of the market and pricing.

A lot of people including the OP must have been expecting a big price increase right
after the approval, and they are probably scratching their heads wondering why...
it went down.

Id say give it time and also wait for the aftermath of the halving and the excitement
will be back.

First, it is called Halving, and second, ETF approval is not the same thing as halving, people only placed too much relevance on it. This relevance nonetheless helped Bitcoin to grow within months but it only disappointed expectations after it was eventually approved. If truly you have been investing in Bitcoin since 10 years ago, you will be so rich by now and I encourage you to continue HODLing the investment as Bitcoin will still move higher. What we experienced within a year now is a prove of that even as we've not entered the post-halving season yet.

For now, the excitement is over, and it might call for some corrections which we are experiencing now. This will continue to happen even as we expect halving, and it will be the post-halving effect that will massively help the market to rise significantly.

There are a lot of people in the bitcoin world and there are a lot of characters in it, we are not all the same people and OP may just feel like a different person to most of us.

All in all, we are just the start of excitement for us and I do believe that the upcoming period will make us see 100k+ easily, it is not going to be that tough, we just need to make sure that we see something that will benefit us the most. I know that people do not consider that as a way of approaching higher, but given enough time we will meet with something that would be much better. The exciting part starts now, and we need to just see it through. Anyone who gets out today, will be missing the bull run and will regret their decision later on.

You're right. It is getting interesting, after the approval of Bitcoin ETF, everyone expects a significant increase of Bitcoin price. But what is happening in the market, the Bitcoin price was decreasing a lot. Bitcoin could passed $48k but it dropped again to $41k, people must feel very surprised to see this fact. Well, what we see is the opposite of people's hope, it is a dump. However, for the long run, I'm very sure that the Bitcoin approval will bring very positive impacts for crypto and Bitcoin future. I think it will strengthen the power of Bitcoin halving to raise Bitcoin price. In the next few months after Bitcoin halving, Bitcoin price may really reach $100k.

Big players would really be always having that kind of counteract basing up on what the masses is really that anticipating.They wont really be tending to get inline into those kind of expectations considering that people are already making up some long positions basing up on ETF approval on which its normal for us to anticipate positive things. Remember on how many had been liquidated with that recent X.com account of Gensler?
It was really that purely manipulative but there's nothing we can do with that. No one expecting with that kind of scenario on which this is something that you should really be baring up in mind is on which
the market could really be making out those kind of movements or actions without being known or something can we called to be that totally unpredictable.

There's no way that we could really be able to know on where it would be going or what are the things that would really gonna happen. This is why it would be always best that you should really expect the unexpected
as always because this is how this market works and how it do behaves. Anticipations on something or being that too advanced on a common sense manner doesnt really goes up that way most of the time.

How valid is your statement about this - I really doubt its validity.

An early investor who has been buying bitcoin and accumulating it for 10 years straight would not be asking what's next on many people who may be just starting their journey in bitcoin. It's really unfair for you if all your stories are true - but you should be able to tell us how your experience was in maintaining the psychology of being a holder for that long and not selling your bitcoin at ATH 2021.

He could be saying something totally true just it would be via faucet collection and very small amounts.   Thats totally fine, little amounts of BTC over time will be still be good I wish I held far more then I did.   I look at markets every day and still get confused.  Some really really dont look at prices or graphs that much so such actions continuing or not will remain more of a mystery;  I reckon the majority are reliant on news stories which tends to be reactionary.  

Nope its not over, I'll go out on a limb and say the days of BTC gaining 10k in one day arent over.  It can happen its just the market is more developed now, you have people doing all kinds of adjustments to the price to utilize this volatility.   Of course when I say we can gain 10k I do also mean BTC will lose 10k in one day too.   Because days arent fixed in BTC we could be down 10k in mid afternoon and appear to close the day neutral, the volatility itself is a bull market and I would describe that for the whole market entire just BTC is part of that and noted as well capable of exceeding most of other assets in volatility.
  If I think the world overall is becoming more volatile it would be quite a disparity to believe BTC has become now more boring inversely.  That'd be great praise actually and if you find something solid in a storm, its useful so I mean no negative if I were to say BTC stayed the same price the whole year I just dont believe it.   Same answer for anyone who thinks BTC will just gain now because we got the ETF and halvening this year, I dont believe it for a second;  not expecting we will have negatives is just saying you wont be looking when you get knocked off your feet.  Be ready for BTC not to be boring it will be more profitable to stay realistic and expect waves of instability to be apparent far more then now.

Volatility is usually not great for investments. If you want Bitcoin to go up 3x in value really quickly then you should also be prepared to possibly lose 90% of what you invested. If we saw the kind of fluctuations that were typical in the early days then it would have never reached the point of even being considered for an ETF. It would look like Bitcoin was only a pump and dump.

If Bitcoin is going to reach a new all time high then it needs greater use beyond just speculating on the price. It will reach a new ATH eventually but we need to be patient enough to allow for gradual adoption.

Blackstar is very current with things because I never noticed that point where that member mentioned that bit now that Blackstar pointed that out I was able to spot that phrase and statement which conveys a lot of discrepancy and is untrue because none of the OG will be asking such a newbie question since 19 years down the line he has been active and has experienced a lot of things along the line mostly from Bitcoin volatility.


No old timers can be free to ask such question because of their lack of experience in the market, but when someone who has been around or claimed to be around all through the Bitcoin journey still asking as what next with Bitcoin price is something that is totally out of context.

Halving is not yet happening so there's still an event to look forward to for the price to soar high. Just because ETF approval did happened doesn't necessarily mean the price will skyrocket already. There's a time for it and we as an investors needs to become patient in order to witness the next bull run.

If you're a long investor for real, you won't question why the price is not what you expected it to be despite of the good news surrounding crypto as a whole. Just wait because we will get there. Since you are accumulating Bitcoin for years (as you've said), you should know this better.

Just take a look to the market cap of bitcoin and you will get the answers that you need, bitcoin is no longer a project that can register that kind of growth due to the enormous size of its market cap.

So it is not as if bitcoin became boring according to your own words, it is just that those days are over, bitcoin can still grow, but its growth is not going to be anywhere near your expectations, so you either change your expectations or invest in another asset if you are not willing to do this.

But the OP is talking about large price fluctuations and for him to say that at the gates of a bull market, when he says he has been buying Bitcoin for 10 years is to be laughed at. Of course big price fluctuations will come, the only thing is that he has to wait. That they will not be as spectacular as in the first cycles? We already know that. The thing is that he had overestimated the effect that the approval of spot EFTs could have on the price, which was already largely discounted (the effect occurred before they were approved).

That is also what I am pointing in my first post mate because how could a 10 years Bitcoin investor/holder will even post something like he never understand because if you have been here from those years you will continuously get amazed of how much Bitcoin is increasing year after year and this is not how behavior the true  old timer in this market.

If this story is true, you wouldn't have been bothered about the current price of bitcoin. Someone has been into Bitcoin for over 10 years must have witnessed upto 3 halvings and bull runs. So, if people like me are worried, you are supposed to be the one to calm me that all is will be fine and not you bothering about the bitcoin price.

While market novice have thought that the price will skyrocket immediately ETF is approved, experts know that the market needs time to set for the upwards trend. Believe me that it's gonna be massive when it starts. Also like halving and bull run, some novice will also think that on the day of halving will bull run start.

The excitement days have just started.

ETF approval gives those big institution capacity to buy bitcoin but that does not mean they are buying right away.
it may take time before finally felt in the market so lets wait a while.
maybe he is just concern about his potential profit or he expect much this time around but cannot keep the waiting longer.

Maybe OPs level of vocabularies such as the spelling nature of  Harvening" instead of "Halving" shouldn't be considered the bone of contentions. He/she might be faced with the difficulties to communicate fluently with the use of English language rather, should have a point of contact towards the contexts of the thread.

However, my concern about the OPs worries and panics about the increment rates of Bitcoin via the approval of the ETH by the appreciatable volatility strengths of Bitcoin is quite awful at considering the period of time he/she had been in this Bitcoin industry.
I don't expect him to be an expertised Bitcoin predictional but rather should had developed the easing aids about the potential volatility system of the Bitcoins marketing prices by experienced because to my best of knowledge, Bitcoin has never deviated from its potentials due to the fact that it is a reputable firm. So, @ OP, keep hodling of your Bitcoin assets while exercising patient for the days of your expectations comes. I don't think anyone would give a definite and accurate solution to your urges about the ETF approval other than the best solution is... Patient which is the key if an investor must make it prosperously in this Bitcoin industrious space.

The OP has been a member of this forum since the beginning of 2014 and that's when he wrote his first post and it is quite possible that he has been investing in Bitcoin since then, but it seems that he missed the big bull runs during 2017 and 2021, or maybe he was convinced that the approval of this ETF would do wonders for the price of BTC.

I personally think that the OP is one of those whose attention is drawn to Bitcoin by some positive news, and maybe sometimes years go by without any insight into what is actually happening. We should not be surprised that Bitcoin is a completely secondary matter for some.

People here and there need to learn about patience. Investing in Bitcoin is like any investment, you have to wait until you get the return of investment then the gain will come eventually. Richest businessmen that started from scratch had to wait long time before getting rich. Same goes for Bitcoin, not a single event, like ETF approval or the halving, will drive the price to the moon...

If you bought a lot of bitcoin 10 years ago now you are very rich. if you don't buy a lot, your profits are already large and many.
because the price of bitcoin 10 years ago was around under 1000 dollars. this is now over 42k dollars. this means youre profit 42x. not only 3-5 x as you wrote.

Your strategy of gradually buying Bitcoin over the long term is a solid approach. Many anticipated that the approval of a Bitcoin ETF would lead to a surge in value and new all-time highs. However, perhaps it's a matter of time for this new market to build trust in Bitcoin. It is, after all, a novel and relatively unexplored financial asset for many. I would wait a bit longer, it seems that we might witness new all-time highs in the near future.

If you consistently buy Bitcoin for 10 years, even in small amounts, you should now have many multiple profits, because the price of Bitcoin 10 years ago until now has experienced several increases.  Hard to believe, maybe this is just bullshit.  Someone who has consistently invested in Bitcoin for 10 years should be able to feel joy if the assets they have saved are still there today.

wow , so meaning you have plenty of bitcoin now as that runs for 10 years? you have done buying higher and higher because 10 years will surely developed you trust in this currency and this will give you a chance to be richer than many of us/
10 years ? if  I am you mate I must have thousand of bitcoin already because price of bitcoin when you starts buying is just few bucks and even a hundred .

I think I will also be the same as your thoughts, I also will not think too much about it because I feel that it is all a very rare and unique luck to explain. Because I think various stories are real or not it depends on the person who believes in it. I don't think it's something to be told but to be enjoyed. Whether other people believe it or not I don't really care.

If one had enough confidence to accumulate bitcoin continuously for the past 10 years then there would be no meaningless thoughts and questions like the OP is asking. And if he bought bitcoins 10 years ago and found his bitcoins recently, he will be satisfied with the current profits. Over the past 10 years bitcoin has increased by millions of percent and anyone who owns any amount of bitcoin will be happy with the results. Indeed, OP's story is not trustworthy and it is more like a fabricated story than a story he has experienced.

I was in doubt when I first read the OP as well but we never can tell, he might be telling the truth. Many might be earning from Bitcoin but do not have deep knowledge about the coin, and I have some friends in his category too, so this made me boycott any further arguments with him. Some might just invest the money due to what a friend or family told them and continue with their normal life especially when the money is little and they are busy themselves. Not everybody is so kin with internet investments or has the opportunity to read much about what they commit their money to.

Just like me, I knew so little about Bitcoin until I joined BTCt, I was so naive about it even though I knew it was an investment opportunity and I have been a trader for a long time. I even traded Bitcoin on the traditional brokers' platform but didn't invest in it then or do any research. So, to have known or invested in Bitcoin for that long doesn't mean he is deeply rooted in it. To now make matters work, some will even invest through a friend or relative without so much knowledge about how it is being done, they will just give them the money to do everything for them. That might shock you, but as I am typing I remembered two people I know in that category. If they come to this forum to write the way the OP did, people could doubt them too, but it is the truth.

not the end of the excitement. but the beginning of the excitement this year is the year of halving. not long next year the price of all coins including bitcoin as a trigger and catalyst for the increase of all coins due to halving. it is almost certain that next year the price of bitcoin will definitely skyrocket. the tendency of the historical price of bitcoin is like that. so it's not the excitement that ends but instead the beginning of greater excitement

Since you have been collecting bitcoins here for almost a decade, you must have developed a certain confidence in your bitcoins. Otherwise you would never have done it. But your beliefs and the  others will not be the same. Traders have talked a lot about ETFs and speculated a lot but when the ETFs were approved, the momentum of the market came to an end. The roar of the market is gone. This does not mean that the Bitcoin rumble is over but rather we can think that Bitcoin is storing more energy than ever and will give more force to the upcoming bullish movement.

On the time that you do step your foot into this market then you are really that being too optimistic about positive things, then it did start for you to experience the opposite direction or condition then this is where you would really be molding up those kind of bad impressions that it isnt something interesting anymore or something that be calling that it isnt that hype anymore just like on where it get used to.
Now that we are on a phase were adoption and recognition is really taking place on which having those institutional involvement is really that starting now on which it might be one of the cause
on why the price isnt really that moving much? We cant really be able to draw up conclusions basing into that.

Just we should bare up in mind that when it comes to adoption and recognition then this is something inevitable.There's no such thing about assured future on which
it is really just that normal that we can make out those assumptions but its not guarantee that it would happen.

Of course this is the start of excitement, and also a good start in collecting Bitcoin because this year is the year Bitcoin halved and we are just waiting for the Bitcoin price to reach its ATH or reach a new ATH.
And I don't understand the OP's point, because he's been buying Bitcoin for a decade and he likely will buy again. So far he should always be in a happy state because the prices before 1 decade and now are much different and he must have also benefited from the previous Bitcoin ATH that he had during that time. So OP should be in a happier condition, because everyone or investors are just waiting for Bitcoin to skyrocket. Confused by OP's statement.

Seriously you don't know what you are talking about OP. You are confused because you believe the trends online and what people say which made you not make solid enquiries before thinking about investing in Bitcoin. Previously you said you have high hope that Bitcoin will excel after the ETF approval and havening process. All of a sudden you are expecting the price to go high immediately after the approval of the Bitcoin ETF. It's not evening up to the second quarter of the year you are expecting a full bull market.

The havening process is yet to come. Of which so many persons are eagerly waiting for the time. But all you wanted is just to see the price of Bitcoin moving high without considering the market structure. OP, you will be disappointed if you do not exercise patient while holding your Bitcoin. Don't push yourself too hard to sell if the price suddenly goes up in the next few weeks. Surely you may regret later but if you truly have hope in Bitcoin, you will hold it for long at least till the end of the year. That is when you may have a good outcome.

Not all users have the same mindset about the bitcoin market sentiment so far, they could be optimistic about history repeating itself, but in the short term investors will also take advantage. Long-term holding is one good option for bitcoin, but some users can also accumulate bitcoin by selling some at high prices and buying on dips.

Today, major correction happened in bitcoin and big investors lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because of it, but if they have a spare budget then accumulation is the best way instead of just holding what is there.

Hoe come one or two factor decide the price of Bitcoin? Don't fall for FOMO or fuds and I agree there were lot of hype that Bitcoin is going to surge post spot ETF approval but we have seen increase in price only for a day and again it's back to normal fluctuations. I request to keep accumulating bitcoin as we may see then bull run in 2025, now don't expect and don't assure yourself that Bitcoin price will sky rocket right after ETF halving as usually bull run starts a year later.

Your joking right, with the halving coming up next what fo you think would happen, bitcoin  would be more scares with the mining rewards beign slashed. The ETF approval wasn't such a big thing to me cause it would only help bitcoin get more investors and things are still getting in place, so chill bro!
Bitcoin still has excitement just hasn't come yet.

People do really love on having that instant action and reaction towards the market whenever there's some sentiment that had been integrated without even trying to think up realistically that not everything would really be
going into those things that they do have in mind. You would really be seeing those people would really be that keeps crying and whining and telling that this market is over or the hype is over on which they didnt even trying to zoom out that ETF isnt everything. We did make out such big move even without them on which it is really just that normal that movements might be that stagnant for a while but come to think that we are
fast approaching on the halving event and we do know on whats next on which it is the bull run season that we are all hoping for.

We cant really be so sure if this one would really be jumping or people been calling about possibilities of golden bullrun or really it is just rumors and it cant really happen.
There's no way that we could really be able to tell on where it would really be heading. This is why it would really be that important that you should really be versatile.

Excitement always comes around OP. I don't know what makes you worry about the fluctuation because if you have been in the crypto market for many 10 years or even just one year you could understand that this is really how the market looks. This is the reason why people are always excited about what will happen to the market and the fluctuations you've said are a factor that gives a chance for the investors to earn more.

Let your experience give you the idea of whether you will continue or stop. We can never change the price movement of the market but we can help to adopt and understand the situation.

We must study every market condition so as not to incur high losses due to fomo that occurs in current market conditions, the market has been corrected drastically because several whales have taken advantage of the fomo market after the news after the ETF approval, the right step is to start investing after the correction period ends because it tends to the market has stabilized which guarantees the market will not experience a high market correction afterwards, my prediction is that the market will touch $37k-$38k at the lowest price from the impact of the current correction but the market may increase on unpredictable fomo news in the future, because the ETF approval can recover the market soon in the next month.

For the 10 years that you have been buying Bitcoin, don't say that you haven't sold anything since you did it. Bitcoin was still very cheap in 2014. And after 2017, bitcoin became 20k each and even reached 69k more than its ATH in 2022.

So does that also mean, based on what you said, that you are holding a lot of bitcoins somehow? There are many things that you can doubt about what you said because first, you have no evidence that what you are saying is true. Second, of course, it is also possible that you are just bragging. Then, as you say, excitement also depends on the individuals in the communities here, dude.

Dude, the last price of bitcoin during the date December 31, 2014 is around $320 there's no way that your story of accumulation is true because over that years, you would've witnessed already that bitcoin has jumped to more that x5 in prices and if you really believe that bitcoin is the future then that means that there's no way that you truly believe that bitcoin is boring, maybe because a lot of people are hodling their bitcoin that the prices have been more stable but that's not nearly enough influence to the natural price volatility of bitcoin, we just got used to it that we don't notice it anymore. How old are you anyway? If you've been able to invest in bitcoin at that time then that means that you're already rich now right? Or your trust that bitcoin is the best only lasts for about a year when the price changes again?

There is no need to worry because there is always a way for bitcoin to reach the next ATH and this has happened before, you just need to be patient until four years becomes the basis for bitcoin to move towards its highest price. Now what you need to think about is how you can continue to increase your ownership of the number of bitcoins because if the approach you take and the bitcoins stored are still small enough then profits will follow the price process with the amount. So you will be quite disadvantaged when bitcoin reaches the next Ath but you still hold a small amount.

I don't see it ending yet and so far there is no doubt that bitcoin is getting closer to its highs. I also believe that you have not fully studied the four-year process where doubts that arise must be adjusted to the facts that have occurred.

If you’ve been following up on this bitcoin spot ETF approval, you should know that at the time it was been approved by SEC, it will not have any impact on the market again. So many news about the approval that were faked was first released and we can see how the market immediately reacted to those news. Because of the too many dubious news about the bitcoin spot ETF, it made people lost confident in it and it could not affect the market trend again and the market has to just trail on its own path like we are experiencing now.

Now the market path, especially the price of Bitcoin, is no longer so volatile and has even moved sideways without further increase. This means that the effect of the ETF approval is starting to be less significant even though it is still important enough to be approved by the SEC, because because of this at least it did not cause Bitcoin prices to correct more deeply this month. And it can also provide good resistance in the $40K and above range because there are many people who still believe in holding and buying Bitcoin at the beginning of this year.

The impact of the bitcoin ETF approval on the market was short-lived and as usual it was just FOMO being exploited. Basically, the positive impact of ETF on the market is expected to occur in the long term because after all investors need to see how the market works after the ETF is approved so as not to experience large losses.

Even though ETF and several other reasons can influence the price of bitcoin, large amounts of conversion of bitcoin to fiat can also cause the price to be corrected. The price of bitcoin is currently tend close to the $40k support level and it is not resistance, but the resistance that will likely be tested during the remainder of January is at $43k to $44k.

Including me who still believes that bitcoin will still continue before halving, although indeed after the SEC's decision a few days experienced an increase and then until today we experienced a fairly deep correction, and also greyscale who did the seller's action continuously which gave the impetus to the price that was getting down lately.

But even so this is not the end, don't let you sell your bitcoin to institutional companies because the market turmoil is very volatile, but if we want to benefit from investing in bitcoin then we need to be patient and wait, it may take time but it will work.

if you bought bitcoin in 2013, how could you say it was a small amount, the price of bitcoin in 2013 was not even 200$ right?.
I think you already hold quite a lot of bitcoin, even if you hold 10 pieces then the value is now more than 400k$.
I think the bitcoin euphoria will still continue but it depends on the market situation and the news, so every time there will be news to make bitcoin excited as you said.

Whatever market influence occurs in the current decline in market prices, never disturb your concentration on holding assets until the ATH target in the future, I think the market is still in normal condition after every significant increase occurs and we just have to wait and see the market will recover soon after the movement the market is normal.

Based on the analysis, high recovery will occur before the halving because there are many supporting factors that allow market increases to occur before the halving and ensure that ETF approval support will not change because it will affect market conditions during the halving period.

I think it was only temporary and the FoMo caused by the ETF again showed a weak resistance point at the high price increase of the previous week. If this impact can occur in the long term then the uniqueness of Bitcoin will no longer be the same and I think it will never happen at any time. This only applies to the short term and we have also seen several events in the market process, both for increases and decreases in prices every time there is an event that influences it.

Currently the price tends to move in the highest range of $43k to $47k and corrects again at $41k to stay for a while. I see that in February or March there will be a positive movement even though there is a correction as usual and hopefully it can last for a slightly longer period of time before heading to ATH. Moments like this will usually make the price last a little longer below its support.

Bitcoin price will rise again.  Bitcoin doesn't always stay in one place. The price of Bitcoin goes up and down. At some point, it will be seen that Bitcoin has pumped a lot.Bitcoin never stays at one price.  I think bitcoin will pump big again.you can wait  Bitcoin will pump big again.  Because until today the price of Bitcoin was not stable.  Once the pump dumps again.  But this time it was dumped once in a while but now it has been pumped up again.  I hope to have a big pump at some point.

The volatility that Bitcoin was famous for, I think that volatility is no longer seen as such, but rather a boring condition in the market. There is no doubt that its price will rise again, as the next halving is near, but now I don't think we will see such huge pumps like we used to see before ETF approval. There is no denying that the price of Bitcoin does not always stay at one place, but the speed at which the price of Bitcoin was increasing is now slowing down.

Although everyone thought that a huge pump would be seen in Bitcoin after the ETF approval, but even after the approval, nothing like that was seen. However, it can be hoped that its price may increase slowly, but now institutional investors who have invested in it, now it is not difficult for them to dump or pump Bitcoin from anywhere. I think the approval of ETF is not good for the value of Bitcoin.

It seems to be heading too but it's not certain because the market hasn't shown a hard and deep crash. However, I think conditions like this also create boredom for market players who have bought before, as you also mean. Yes. At least we can learn from the market that it is still demand that causes prices to rise. In essence, currently fresh funds are talking.

Your mindset is wrong. It's just a shame that you have been buying Bitcoin for 10 years, and yet you don't know how the market moves whenever a big event happens.

You think that an acceptance of a Spot Bitcoin and ETF will push Bitcoin up to it's ATH? You think it will happen in an instant. Just so you know, harvening or "halvening" I would assume isn't done yet. It can happen somewhere around April base on the calculations. To answer your question, yes the huge fluctuations is now gone, and it's because the market cap is now higher thanks to the investors who are investing more on Bitcoin. More market cap = lower price fluctuations.

You are expecting that what happened in the past years will also happen this time. It's not 2017 or 2018 or 2019 anymore. :)

Yes I believe that the reversal will happen before the halving, but just today BTC has decreased and hit support at $39k, and now is at the $38k level, it may have the potential to plunge even deeper.

It seems that with the market red, waiting for the halving feels very long, I myself am quite mentally affected because this decline is enough to make me sad, even so we must continue to believe and maybe we better increase the supply of bitcoin that is owned before the halving, it is the best decision because there will be few people who buy when the market is red like now. Bitcoin ETFs make everyone happy, but today they may look sad especially those who are new to investing in bitcoin.

Now the price of Bitcoin is below $40K, which means the price decline is quite large, although not so deep compared to the highest price reached this month. And things like this can certainly not only cause boredom for market players, but can also cause a bit of panic among market players who are just starting out. Meanwhile, for investors and old traders who are used to such conditions, of course they will see this as the best opportunity to buy again before the halving arrives.

I think it will keep growing, think of bitcoin as like a bow and arrow, you have to draw it first a little behind, before you can let it go, if you show someone the starting point of the arrow and then you draw it, they will think that arrow will go back, but we all know that it can go back only so much, there is a limit to that, but then it will go multiple times further ahead.

This is where we are right now, people saw coming from 48k to 40k so they think that it will go down, but we know that it can go down only for a bit, it can't go down too much, not specially during the halving era, so it will go up a lot more given enough time, and we should be focusing on that part a bit more, it will make it a lot more profitable to be patient.

Oh OP, you don't have to lie and make up stories, you know? If you've been buying for over ten years now, I've no doubt you should be a millionaire at least. Buying even $100 in the entire 2014-2016 would have easily set you up for a windfall and I'm sure a monthly DCA would have taken you far higher.

If you've been here this long and wondering if this is the end... you've not been paying attention.

I think I will be discouraged from buying more assets but will leave the majority of the ones I had bought. It might not be as easy as you said it as it could be so scary and disheartening to see the once much-valued crypto assets depreciating in their thousands of dollars, people can barely hold their thoughts on this, but I advise them to just stop looking at the asset and concentrate on the belief that Bitcoin and altcoins would overcome the situation with time. What we see now is temporary which is why I know that it will get to a level where all will stop, and the good thing is that they will never reach the low of last year again, never. This a good means for us to be happy, particularly those who are privileged to buy their coins/tokens early enough.

But at this time, anyone who wants to liquidate their asset may do so without feeling bad or believing they made a mistake, that will be smart if they do not have the mindset to hold further, they will not still miss out but are preserving their asset from much deprecation. And over time, they can resume the buying again which is a wise decision for me. ETF distorted the crypto market since last year, we should never have thought that it would be like before, but thankfully, we have the trading chart as our guide, and it will help us to make some good and well-informed decisions in real-time if used correctly.

I don't know while most of you like to frame stories that is not legitimate to the forum, actually if you have been purchasing bitcoin on small scale over ten years time while didn't you show a proof, sometimes I don't believe on information without evidence because with proof we will understand what you are saying...because no matter how small is the bitcoin you have been purchasing over ten years now, it will grow to the point that you will be marvelous to sè the ratio, so bitcoin is increasing year by year and someone that purchase one thousand dollar what of bitcoin since 2013 by now the person have gotten a good difference

If you have been involved with Bitcoin for more than 10 years, then you have been involved with Bitcoin for a long time. So asking such question in your case is not reasonable at all.  Bitcoin ETF Approval It is not very effective to increase the price of Bitcoin. Why are you so broke don't you know bitcoin halving is not long. Bitcoin halving will start Bitcoin bull run in few months so why are you so impatient. Wait very soon you will see the new Bitcoin ATH. Bitcoin Excitement Days Are Not Over Bitcoin Excitement is coming soon.

Even though bitcoin's days of joy are still to begin, the OP is probably quite stressed by this downturn and doesn't have the patience to hold on any longer. even though if you have been involved in the crypto world for a long time, you certainly know the cycle that has occurred so far. There will not always be a downturn, but there will be an upturn that makes us regret selling it early. just need to be more patient and wait for the bull market.

yeah, it's common to face corrections on the way up. Don't be disheartened.
The market is quite unpredictable and not in anyone's control. Just stay calm. Some view it as a chance to buy, while others anticipate BTC might drop further. We might revisit the levels before the previous bull run or experience a more substantial correction, as some suggest for a healthier market adjustment. Patience is crucial in such a volatile market.

Everyone's level of patience is different in any case, so this is still a reasonable thing to ask. Although what you say is also logical enough to be understood by people who have known Bitcoin for a long time and have been involved in it for a long time every year. I also think that at the moment a lot of people are waiting for the Bitcoin halving even though they were quite happy when they saw the approval of the Bitcoin ETF which in general has also caused a bit of turmoil in the crypto market with Bitcoin increasing temporarily

There would really be those strong holders
There would really be those who are strong believers
There would really be those who are really that having trust
There would really be those who are really that having confidence

TOWARDS BITCOIN...

No matter what your views then other people doesnt really care. Lost excitement? Did observe something and with those changes?
Then it would really be just that depending on someones views and beliefs. It would really vary into each other person
and this is why it would really be better that you should really be wise on taking up your decisions.

In our market? Yes, this is definitely another correction that we have to face. And if the OP is really buying in decades, he should have learned it already, so he shouldn't question what is going on, instead, true investors know what's up with the market. And with years of experience, dip should be our friend, as we should learn by now that this is another perfect time to buy and accumulate, hence everyone should go and buy because this time might not come again. So I do believed that there is still excitement, in whatever market we are in. Bear market? no problem, buy and accumulate and HODL, Bull market? prices are going up, exciting times ahead, so we just wait and be patience and then sell at the top or when it is necessary.

Considering that bitcoin price movements have two directions - of course it is impossible for us to always expect it to move in only one direction. Prices will always fluctuate following news and market trends – so occasional price reversals may occur. If during this month the price of bitcoin corrects deeply, then in the next month we can expect recovery. The market is always working 24/7 - so of course prices will always fluctuate.

Happy days are coming soon - but I tend to expect them after the halving. Prices tend to move higher after halvings and that has been written in the price history so far. History repeating itself is of course uncertain - but so far ATH has always hit after the halving even when people doubted it.

Yes during market volatility one must be patient without patience no one will be successful. There are many investors who are broken due to this market volatility, I want to say to all those investors, don't get broken, stay strong and hold your investment, your success will come very soon. The market will not remain in such a bloody state for long, you continue your investment and those who are preparing to invest but are afraid, I also want to say, invest without fear, you will surely see the face of success very soon.

You mean plan B's, stock to flow model? Hmmm, you've been buying for 10 years and I think that you've got a lot of experience and already an expert on the market even as for accumulation.

Don't get excited with what's the news currently about the approval of Bitcoin spot ETF, what you should think of is about being patient.

We're not yet done with the halving and that's when the exciting part happens once it's done.

Actually i did really make up some peek into OP's registration date basing up on what you have said on which it is really that indeed that he's a 10 year old forum member already on which
it is really just that impossible for someone on having no idea at least on whats going on into this market. If he do able to held up his coins from those early years up to now then he had
been able to sustain out that roller coaster ride that we do have in the past and now that institutions and governments is already making up some involvement then it wont really be
shocking that price could really be somewhat more manipulative.

If you do really just simply trust up Bitcoin then you wont really be bothering up yourself on whatever the things that are happening within the market
but rather you would really be just that making yourself that be holding up your position and wont be bothered on whats happening around.

You can be here and hold Bitcoin for 10 years if it is boring. It was not the fluctuation that made you feel bored but impatience.
I have a different view about the market behavior, the ups and downs of prices mean a lot in the crypto space and this is what it adds interest to the community.

I don't know the status of your investment but once a person becomes desperate to make money, that gives trouble on their mind and has mixed emotions. If you try to understand the market volatility OP and remain optimistic, then you can see how it helps you to make a profit. If you want to earn more, then invest more as well.

Good development recently and not just once but a continuation such that we are now above the weekly average.  Any time we continually gain enough to maintain a positive in this way I believe we have regained a positive bias and I become more positive outlook.   Its too easy to expect positive outcomes but only be met by blips of buying which resolve negatively, this is how I measure the balance between the two and since I have been observing, trading for some years now I stick to what I know.  Obviously no measure is perfect but I decided a while back its best to keep a stick in the sand to tell which way the tide is flowing and there is some sense in that while not expecting perfect knowledge either way its realistic analysis imo.
  Hence I believe we are resolved positively for the moment and can improve further, 41k is a good place for us to hold above going into the next week and month.  Excitement and faster action has to start from a good place like this imo.

I agree with you completely. If you are someone who has been regularly investing in Bitcoins, then definitely you have to show more trust on the coin and market. If you panic on these side news and little manipulations, then all these years will be wasted and you will be pulled out from making tons of profits. We know how much valuable Bitcoins are. Hence instead of thinking harsh, just hold the long term as you are doing it before. Definitely the patience will pay off and profits will be very high.

isn't Fluctuation must bring more excitement because we can see the ups and down more
than stagnant price like what OP is mentioning ? for me if the price fluctuate this gives me more sympathy
and excitement to purchase and HODL than turning this place into boredom because this is money making
market and not just a fun place to spend time and knowledge.

he seems to be a Old timer and a HODLER according to His post understanding , but indeed
that what is being pointed here is the desperation from His part to earn and make more money.

Only noobs are the ones who do really panic and to those people who have been here on this market for years would already know on what are the things that they should gonna do on times like these
on which its never been that something new about this kind of roller coaster up and down like kind of ride on which it is really just that right that you should really that know on how to handle up yourself
on this volatile market on which it would really be that best that you should really know on what you should gonna do and not really just making yourself that easily get disappointed on the time that
you would really be seeing different outcomes basing up on what you had anticipated. This is why it would be best that you should really be that realistic at least.

Market is volatile and there's no way that we could be able to determine on where it would be going. If you are a Bitcoin believer then you would really be holding your position
very well and doesnt really that ending up on getting affected with those fuds and whatever things that might happen ahead.

Those who are new in the market will barely be able to stay safe from manipulations and panicking because they don't know much about the market and how it works, but if someone is experienced and has been making investments from sometime, like a decade, they shouldn't panic or get manipulated because of the dips and corrections since they are part of the process and one should know this based on their experience and knowledge about the market.
Buying and selling positions of an investor will also depend on their personal financial targets and goals, and every single investor will have a different target in their mind for buying or selling their assets. You might be aiming to sell your Bitcoins once it reaches $80k, but I might be thinking about $100k.

In reality, long-term holders are those who will take profits worth it with the risks considered. They will definitely be patient with any price volatility and not be affected by it and will probably build a larger portfolio when they have additional budget. Usually they are people who are quite wise and experienced in the field of investment, so volatility will not affect their plans much.

A change of plan can still be considered in certain situations, but it is best to ignore a change of plan when they have a better option. Moreover, the potential for bitcoin this year and next year looks better than before, so stick to the hold plan until you get returns according to the targets you have set.

I am also happier when I see that the Bitcoin price is not stagnant at a certain level, which in other words can fluctuate so that everyone can buy at a low price and sell when the price is high. Because traders and investors will definitely get bored more easily if they see prices that are only stagnant without increasing or decreasing prices in the market.

These larger earnings usually occur through greater price increases after traders and investors have bought Bitcoin at a low price so they will have greater expectations after doing so. But if the price does not increase or decrease, I think it will be difficult for everyone to make a profit, even though it will not result in more losses in terms of money, but in time it will certainly be a huge loss. Because those who have bought will definitely wait in hope that an increase can occur in the market.

As far as I know bitcoin excitement days are not over you will not be disappointed just wait patiently it is sure to see good results. Investors all know that the price of bitcoin can go up and down allowing bitcoin to break its all time highs. Even if the price falls the investors who do not lose their grip and keep it for long term are the successful ones. Don't worry bitcoin is a great way to succeed.

This is a tool for those who know how to wait and have willpower. The tactic of buying in small parts and over a long period of time is quite good, in the end the final amount will be impressive and the price chart just proves this. In the end, only the most patient and experienced will win users do not pay attention to market fluctuations but only take the opportunity to buy at a more attractive price and be in profit in the long run.

When traders and investors who are impatient with price fluctuations make them sell when the price they don't want because they think it will continue to decline, that's when big investors make big profits by buying at a cheaper price if I'm not mistaken in understanding it correctly.

This week, the price was at the level of $38.6k and in the following three days the price rose to the level of $42k. Traders who sold at $38.6k because they thought it would continue to decline, investors who bought at that time had already made a profit of up to several percent when Bitcoin was trading at $42k.

This is a test of patience and we do know into those people who do have that patience are the ones who would really be mostly rewarded on which it would really be just that right that they should really be that
on that way on where they should really be waiting up for the right opportunity for them to sell and buy on the time that they do see those kind of chances. We are inevitably having those changes in everything
on which we dont really have no choice but to adapt to it or else then you would really be finding  yourself that getting stressed on the things that you are seeing. This is why it would really be always important
that  versatility and adaptation would really be that crucial. As for this market on where tons of factors that do affect its movement then as a trader/investor then you would really be needing to make adjustments
on your actions because in every year there would really be having that kind of difference.

Should you complain every time market conditions decline? Have you ever come across traders who complain when prices decrease?
That is, I have found that when prices are increasing and profits have been obtained because of the increase in prices, the feeling of happiness that is obtained is different from the feeling felt when prices have decreased. The turn of decline occurred, which was shown to give the impression that he was experiencing a big loss.
Conditions and situations or types of people like this sometimes annoy me even though it doesn't matter to me because it's their right.

If you feel happy when the Bitcoin price situation being traded is high, then when the price situation decreases, the trader must be patient as he is happy when the market price is high.
You definitely know what I mean because it discusses patience, so that is part of the process and strategy.
Logically, the price graph will not always go up and the price graph will not always go down.

The real excitement is still a year away.

In common sense, of course no one wants to go bankrupt in this investment, but those who seem too panicked when the market continues to bleed disturb their psychology and end up looking for a stupid way out by selling their asset holdings at a cheap price and definitely making a loss. They will just go bankrupt and not be able to grow any profits. Investing is not easy to do if an investor's mentality is not good, they really have to have strong guidelines and have to be more patient under any circumstances. The crypto market is very volatile, therefore you must be aware of these risks and not take stupid actions.

End of the beginning perhaps, small call in a larger move its hard to pinpoint the correct frame of reference for the movement.    I'm just looking at the closing moments to the day because we are in pivotal area seems to me.   On a daily process we have a failure to stay above the 12hr moving average and the daily bar is trading below the Fibonacci level it had previously surpassed that is somewhat bearish but its just a day.  In conclusion we've gone slightly sideways Im not sure if merely sideways is a negative its only in context to wider considerations and it remains to be seen most likely.

For BTC, no and this is very natural, only for Altcoins holders who are not happy if BTC is pumped for a moment and goes down again and this is very annoying and boring for a number of Alt coin holders. But what can I say, everyone has to follow the king :D :D.

Generally, investors are looking for long-term strategic growth, but BTC pump and dump conditions also trigger bearish momentum, indicating a strong trend towards further price declines.
