Do you ever feel tired of waiting?

[xzy887]

Those interested in investing in Bitcoin are tired of waiting for Bitcoin to go up. There will always be some people who are interested in investing but after investing they always think about their invested money. Maybe they see the success of others and invest in Bitcoin to achieve success themselves but don't want to work as hard as that person.

For me waiting will never be boring since you know to yourself that you're waiting for something which you're sure that will come, unless you're waiting in the next bull run even though you don't have any Bitcoin.

Also, if it's your first time to experience it the bear market, you'll be bored for sure. Maybe to cope up with your boredom, try to do something else like finding a side hussle job as your pastime while earning money to buy something you want or need.

I sometimes felt tired, to be honest. I sometimes lost my patience and sold myself emotionally. But not now; I have improved my knowledge and experience day by day. Now I invest only what I can afford to hold for longer. So I shouldn't sell at any point.

I'm surprised you state it. I guess a person at your level, will never feel tired.  
Agree. As long as we only invest in the amount that we afford to invest, we won't hurry to wait for the selling time. It will feel very long time if we use loan money or our main money. It is because we need to secure the money as quick as possible. We know it will bother our life if we fail.

There are many things that will put pressure on our investments and they don't just come from borrowed money. If you suddenly need a large amount of money and have no way to manage it, you will immediately think about your investment. And sometimes life's pressure will make us impatient and tired when things don't come at the right time. It can be said that pessimism, fatigue, pressure... sometimes it will happen to us in daily life but that does not mean it will defeat our original goal.

So before we make an investment, it would be better for us to use money that is not used and if we have unexpected needs, then we don't disturb the investment we have. Indeed, we can't know about unexpected needs, but if we can still handle it with other things, then we it is better not to disturb the initial goals we have set. I think everyone who invests has certainly experienced something like this, but it really depends on a person's personality as to how they resolve it so that they remain on track with their investment goals.

I don't tire of waiting, I do tire of my inability to sense the peak (twice now already). Second time around was partially a result of circumstance as I was forced to liquidate almost everything less than a year before ATH but I still did have quite a bit of alts I should have let go then (I did so months before Bitcoin boomed and lost out on the extreme peak).

I do tire of people thinking a long wait means months or a couple of years too...

There will always be some people who are interested in investing but after investing they always think about their invested money. Maybe they see the success of others and invest in Bitcoin to achieve success themselves but don't want to work as hard as that person.

Those who easily get bored with Bitcoin investments or with the investments they have made are very weak people and unable to survive under any conditions. So they often continue to think about the money they have used for investment capital, even though the basic goal is to become successful through the investments they make themselves based on their own analysis. But if there are still doubts and often get bored easily when they haven't found a profit, such people are not suitable to be investors because they don't have the character of a hard worker like other people in general.

Maybe the users who make a regular earning out of trading or through some other means feel bored. For users who had come through the ups and downs of the market, the waiting is kind of excitement. Because we don't know when the market turns bullish and we don't know whether the price reached is the ATH value or it grows further.

For everyone who think waiting as a boredom could prefer to invest and forget it. In the history of bitcoin, many such incidents have taken place. They just invest and forgot it, after years unexpected encounter have profited them big.

To be honest, I've had this question for quite a while. I keep seeing people claiming to just hold and hold; it'll take one, two, three, or whatever years for the next bull market. However, I'm often wondering: do you ever feel tired of waiting for Bitcoin to thrive? The past few months, or the whole past year—I'm not sure I've lost track of time—have been quite stale. Bitcoin has been ranging between $25.000 and $28.000 for quite a while. The volatility compared to other periods is lower than we're used to, or at least, to what I was used to in the past.

This is the biggest task. holding requires patience and not everyone has this patience due to which it is not possible for everyone to hold till getting biggest profit. and those who can wait are able to hold successfully. the holding thing is boring but a fruit is very sweet.

I feel that there isn't too much excitement and this adrenaline feeling anymore; suddenly you'd see Bitcoin climb or crash; you'd be curious when it'd stop, what your next move would be, or simply feel accomplished seeing your money's value grow. Price movements are quite insignificant at this point compared to the huge pumps or dumps that occurred in 2020 or 2021.

Patience breaks even more when Bitcoin pumps after buy and start holding. It is much easier for a holder to hold Bitcoin when its price pumps up after buying Bitcoin. Then it is a pleasure to see them, because of which the waiting is also very pleasant then.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against holding, nor am I getting frustrated, at least not yet; I did it in the past and regretted it, even though my only source of income is signature campaigns. It's just that sometimes you can't stop the thoughts from circling around your head. I generally didn't bother to even look at it's price, but I've recently started feeling a little wearied. Perhaps it has to do with the life-induced stress that I've discussed in a previous thread. Who knows? How do you cope with waiting?

You mentioned a fact that happens to everyone. I keep my waiting for holding from preoccupation with other things. Because if you are busy with other things, you can forget about holding and that is why it is possible to be patient.  And I usually don't view the market when I'm holding because if the market dumps, it makes us panic.

A long wait it 10 or more years.

Anything under 10 years is not very long.

The us gov say 1 year is longterm , but reality is more than a year is long term.

[Ultegra134]

Well if you are doing a signature campaign you are earning under 2,000 usd a month.

That is not enough.

A well-paid signature campaign ranges from $400 to $800 a month. I'd live like a king if I were earning that much from signature campaigns alone. Currently, if everything is running smoothly, I'll be earning $280 per month, which isn't bad; I'm actually quite satisfied. However,  I've been extremely busy the past few weeks with me moving out and have missed a few payments. It's not enough; it's a decent side income, provided that you have a main source, which I don't.

From the profile of OP, it is clear that he's using bitcointalk since 2014. I don't know from which year he had got into signature campaigns. Maybe if he had got into signature campaign earning earlier and if he had kept hold of those funds now this question couldn't have come into his mind. In the past users receive similar pay, but in terms of BTC it used to be very high against now. Sometimes I used to calculate what I've got earlier and what it could've been in today's price. Thats a big difference, and on such calculation everyone suggests to hold and enjoy the goodness. However the holding shouldn't restrict us from leading our life through sacrifice. We should live and with rest available we should hold for the future profit.

I signed up in 2014 but was lurking on the forum without an account for quite a while. I didn't stick around for long in 2014, nor did I enter a signature campaign. I managed to rank up to Jr. Member but stopped bothering with the forum somewhere in 2015. Luckily, I had quite a lot of potential activity, and I rejoined in late 2016 or early 2017, quickly ranked up to Sr. Member, and stayed until 2018. I got myself involved in a few signature campaigns and altcoin mining, which was popular at the time. Now that I'm back and restarted from scratch, it was either 2020 or 2021, and I've lost count with COVID-19 quarantines.

You registered on the forum as far back as 2014 (I only in mid-2015), but I think you mentioned somewhere that you weren't really active at the beginning, so you missed everything that happened during 2015 and 2016, and it looked pretty much like it looks today (except the numbers were different). All you need is to change the way you think, and see these periods as an opportunity, not something to be frustrated about.

I assume that your sig campaign pays you fixed in $, which means that with a low price of BTC you actually get more BTC, and that in the long term this is not a bad thing, but quite the opposite. In every let's call it "negativity" you can always find something positive, enjoy every new day because the time we have is really something precious that you can't buy regardless of the price of BTC.

That is true; as I quoted the previous user, I joined in 2014 as a teenager with no access to payment methods in order to acquire Bitcoin. I missed the decent acquisition years of 2014 to 2016, which would have helped tremendously now, provided that I had a broader knowledge back then, but anyway, it belongs to the past. I'm being paid a fixed amount, which is great in bear market periods, as I'm getting paid more in terms of BTC. When I joined Roobet a little over two years ago, I started earning approximately 1 mBTC per week ($55) back then; now it's over 2.5 mBTC ($70) due to the lower price.

Saying I don’t get tired of waiting on some lofty progress on the coin would be me lying to myself. Of course I would like to see some unexplainable value for my hodlings but, what can I say, I have to do the time for that value to be worth every second spent in waiting for a desired value.

The next question is, what desired value might that be? Where would one peg the value of Bitcoin to say “yes” it’s yield just enough value as it ought to have.
With this ranging in the uncertainty, one can’t really get satisfaction at any price. Bitcoin isn’t an investment for a time but rather, an investment that would last a life time and that means, you don’t need to attach a time to it as you can’t attach a time to living.

You just treat it like an investment, use it conservatively and be sure you’re not withholding yourself from other aspects to enjoying your ROI due to hodling.

Bitcoin investment is not a must and even if someone is tired of waiting for the bull, then he can completely stop the investment or the accumulating process, but I can say that when the right season for the bull approaches, that the investor has been waiting for finally comes, then I think the investor has himself to be blamed for stopping.

I am a Bitcoin investor that doesn't know everything about Bitcoin but am still learning from people that have more knowledge than me, and still I am not in a rush for the bullish time to reach because I haven't hold enough of BTC, even if I have sufficient amount of Bitcoin that I am expecting, I will never get tired of holding because I see Bitcoin investment as another way of savings funds with the mindset of risking.

[RockBell]

Those interested in investing in Bitcoin are tired of waiting for Bitcoin to go up. There will always be some people who are interested in investing but after investing they always think about their invested money. Maybe they see the success of others and invest in Bitcoin to achieve success themselves but don't want to work as hard as that person.

They won't get tired Because before investing they should know that bitcoin does not have a specific time that you can predict, that this period of time bitcoin will be at some  price. Even does trying to predict the price of bitcoin are only trying to use previous records to judge the faith of bitcoin which is actually going to be very difficult. When people don't know how the system operates then this is were it will result to,  the most important is the fact that you have to have patience at all cost. Because you sell you lose your money with no profit.

Its good for them to think about the money invested but if its bitcoin you just have to control how you think about it to aviod been emotional, the investor will keep getting sad because of the price seen frequently. Its better the investors mind should be made up on what his investing in.

[Ever-young]

For me waiting will never be boring since you know to yourself that you're waiting for something which you're sure that will come, unless you're waiting in the next bull run even though you don't have any Bitcoin.

I think I understand that some Bitcoin investors are only investing into Bitcoin because they have a goal that they intended to archive after they have reap their profite from their investment on Bitcoin. Before setting those goals, they might have taken note of how long it's going to take for the bull market to happen so that they can sell and use the profit to do what they have intended for it, but if their waiting or speculated time is overdue, they can get tried of waiting. People who mostly feel tired of waiting are those that invest in some shitcoins and they expect to make profit if the coin gets pumped, but when it doesn't get pumped before their speculated periods, they will keep waiting and hoping until they are tired because if it's a shitcoin,  the price will never appreciate.

[uneng]

I think everyone is a little tired at this point to wait Bitcoin leave the bear market, as we are facing this scenario for almost 2 entire years already. Of course every BTC enthusiasts miss the good times we had in 2021, when the market was full of excitement, new opportunities, in a continuous thriving line, and therefore we want to live those times again, as soon as possible. Unfortunatelly, there isn't much to do or to say regards it. All we can do is to wait! Maybe 2024 or 2025 will flourish for Bitcoin once again and the people who have been believing its potential along the years!

Personally, I don't feel discouraged by the silence and apathy around crypto market right now: keep in mind it has been always like this before a bull suddenly enters the market, taking almost everyone by surprise.

[inthelongrun]

Before, I used to hope that 2024 and 2025 come fast because most if not all are expecting a big bull run to those years. But then I realized that I do not have much investment yet and I do not expect bitcoin to do another x10 or more. This means I should take advantage of the years to save to invest more. Another thing to ponder is I do not want to age fast so yeah, let time take its time slowly and savor every moment in life. So I do not get tired of waiting. But I am getting more and more excited as we are already late in the year and bitcoin halving is months away.

[ndutndut]

For me waiting will never be boring since you know to yourself that you're waiting for something which you're sure that will come, unless you're waiting in the next bull run even though you don't have any Bitcoin.

Of course it won't be boring if we have mastered and know the basic strategies that can help our investment journey because many things change in the market and we can gain profits in both bullish and bearish markets.

Also, if it's your first time to experience it the bear market, you'll be bored for sure. Maybe to cope up with your boredom, try to do something else like finding a side hussle job as your pastime while earning money to buy something you want or need.

Yes, that's right, maybe the best way to overcome boredom is to read books and continue to increase knowledge from this forum or on the internet, that's much better than waiting for the market without doing anything. The point is that we have to stay relaxed without having to think about bear markets, and continue to increase our activities outside of bear markets.

Bro, your thoughts are too monotonous on your investments and that is the problem. If you have spent more time on your computer in the last few years, especially in this forum, you will not be free from these bored thoughts.

Try to find a new space that has nothing to do with bitcoin. This will help you get some variety of thoughts.

[Strongkored]

It's just that sometimes you can't stop the thoughts from circling around your head. I generally didn't bother to even look at it's price, but I've recently started feeling a little wearied. Perhaps it has to do with the life-induced stress that I've discussed in a previous thread. Who knows? How do you cope with waiting?

Of course sometimes we can't stop the price of Bitcoin from continuing to circling in our heads, and this often makes us weak and impatient waiting for the price to pass through the current range, but once again patience is the key to success in holding Bitcoin in the long term, even the longer we hold it, the greater the profits we will achieve.
Usually we will be quite stressed with the investments we make because we need money but selling it at the moment has not achieved what was expected, and I try to remain patient even though sometimes I fail because I end up selling it even though the portion is quite small.
If you are stressed enough with your life, why not sell some of it and go on holiday, or find another way to relax so you don't think too much about Bitcoin, or looking for other activities or hobbies because that can usually make us not focus too much on Bitcoin

[Ricardo11]

If we want to expect good results in life, we must wait. If we can wait, we can expect much better success in life. Keep your mind on the running of the bulls and wait.  But a Bitcoin price between 25k-30k would make anyone impatient, it would make anyone panic about the price. But in the meantime, those who can wait will be able to achieve great success in life. But we don't have to wait much longer now, the Bitcoin bull run will start in a few days.

[bitnote]

I usually trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies by buying and selling them. I used to get really excited when Bitcoin's price was jumping around a lot, but now it mostly stays in one place or goes down. So, I'm getting tired of waiting for it to start going up again. Thinking to start leverage trading.
