Sunday means hodl
Mindrust fever has lifted
Back on track today
So9ry for tha5 momentarily moment of mindrust ability.
I suppose, at least you recognize your vulnerability in that direction, yet personally, it seems to me that none of us can stop ourselves from mindrusting unless we put in place some systems and/or boundaries to "deal with it."
We cannot just say, "I am not going to mindrust. I am not going to mindrust. I am not going to mindrust. I am not going to mindrust."
Just saying it will probably not work, and it might even contribute towards our ending up doing the thing that we keep saying that we are not going to do.
I am not even saying that any plan that we make is irreversible or capable of being tweaked.. .. These can surely be frustrating times, since maybe some of us had considered something like $90k being the absolute bottom, but then in two months between mid November and mid January lower 90ks were mostly being held.. but then since mid-January we have largely been bouncing 40% below what we considered to be the absolute bottom... for sure we are experiencing the markets can remain irrational for extensively long periods of time... and so how are we going to deal with it? How?
If we had already invested more than we can afford to lose, we cannot turn back the clock and cause ourselves to invest less - so we are sort of stuck with whatever we had already chosen to do weeks, months, and even years gone by... but yeah, what are we going to do? ride it to zero?.. and yeah of course, there are no guarantees that the cornz are going to recover, ever....
I know. I am devolving, since yeah, I know that we are not all in the same place, so it is not like we can make blanket statements that apply to everyone.
Part of the problem could be that if any of us are putting new money into bitcoin, yet it is not money that we are willing to lock up for 4-10 years or longer, then we are no longer investing.. but trading.. and yeah, even 4 years minimum for any new money seems like a long time, and there are guys who are unwilling/unable to lock up their newly invested (into bitcoin) money for at least 4 years minimum... so then from my current perspective (way of seeing bitcoin) there is trading rather than investing going on... guys who are in their late 60s might not be able to have a timeline that is at least 4 years with some of their money, unless they know that they have other money sources available that are going to largely support their current standard of living - for the next 4 years...
By the way, I understand that guys who are in their 60s might not be working as much, so then they have fixed sources of income that are likely not keeping up with increases in their cost of living.. and so there are some things that we don't want to give up in our standard of living... We want to keep doing the monthly or every few months briskets rather than having to eat hot dogs.. or worse yet Ramen.. It is good to be trying to eat good quality food, even though so many of us can get lured into inferior foods, and they even taste good, too.
When the BTC price is up (relatively speaking), then each of us who have already largely reached sufficiently high accumulation levels (speaking 0.63 BTC and above), likely have little to no hesitation to shave off a bit of BTC here and there without even giving it too much thought... but then when correction levels are greater than 25%, we start to hesitate and the further below 25%, such as 35%, 45% etc. etc., we may well start to become even more hesitant to shave off any more funds from our bitcoin stash... so then if we want to spend, we have to seek out any other spending sources that we might have... and so yeah, those "other spending sources" might not be as large as we wished that they were... so it is so easy to talk in theory about buying dips and etc etc etc, but we start to run out of money (other funding sources) if we keep buying the dip, yet the BTC prices keep dipping.
we just hit 126.000$, gentlemen.
and the price is still increasing
Just a reminder of where we once were.
Yeah we did go to 126272
Honesty, it did not feel like a lot back then
.
That said, I did a quick NW calc either one day before or after, lol.
It is always very fluid and this time there has been no second chances vs the 2021 case.
My issue is become too easy to fuck with price. Which means it no longer feels like a good value store.
I will stick around a bit but I could possibly be a 2 coin mindrust If price goes low enough.
I always felt bad for you not loading up in 2012-2013 or at least 2015, but when I read stuff like this I think you must have somehow deserved it.
Thanks for your (mining) service though!
Part of the problem in thinking for many of us is that when we invest, we do not necessarily need to "load up BIG" in order to have the ability of both success and also the likelihood of improving our life situation by having had built a stake (in this case bitcoin) rather than having had not built a stake.
So even something like $10 per week or $43.33 per month, could have had contributed towards future options.. and with bitcoin, almost every single year, newbies to bitcoin look at bitcoin both in terms of thinking that the prices are too high (and they are too late), and perhaps even don't invest (and watch instead) based on their ongoing erroneous assessment that the prices are too high. It does not matter whether the BTC price is going up on in some kind of correction mode, the thoughts are that the price is too high... so instead of taking some reasonably modest stake. they just don't buy any... and choose to watch rather than participate.
It going to keep on happening to newbies, and the solution continues to be the same. . which is get started from where ever they are at and whatever the BTC price happens to be, and just invest fairly steadily for 4-ish years or more and then reassess after 4ish years to figure out if anything in the ongoing BTC accumulation strategy needs to change. Frequently the changes along the way might merely relate to tweaking the size of the weekly buys in light of budgetary considerations rather than anything that is too dramatic, unless they happen to get to a point of having enough or more than enough bitcoin (which, yeah, is a real situation that can end up happening).

my eyes filled with tears.
i can't forget the numbers 126,272 and 69,420. with every new ath, i guess there's no escaping this. i remember those moments when i saw it surpass 126 thousand dollars live.
my stupid head didn't sell a single satoshi. they're still with me
Holy fucking shit.
You have been in bitcoin (according to your forum registration date) for slightly more than a year and a half, and the lesson that you learned from recent bitcoin price action is that "I should have sold some"?
That is nearly retarded.
Are you even close to reaching overaccumulation status yet?
Are you still accumulating bitcoin or do you have enough?
Why would you lose any level of focus, merely because the price is down.
Unless you frontloaded the fuck out of your bitcoin investment in the 15 months-ish, then I have difficulties understanding your concerns and/or how you could even be close to overaccumulation status.
Surely we can all look at the various BTC price charts and see that right now, BTC prices are right around 45% less than they were in early October 2025 - a mere 4.5 months ago.
I am not suggesting that you should rejoice.. yet I am having some difficulties relating to what you are supposedly concerned about.
Now, Philip, on the other hand, he is a whole other story in terms of some of the particulars that are known about him (at least from what he has disclosed in his various posts through the years, and I am not saying that he had been necessarily misrepresenting anything).
