One clear thing that separates real Bitcoiners from short-term speculators is that real Bitcoiners enjoy situations where they can accumulate BTC cheaper – a bear market.

And that will be the one single thing that most of the newbies, and majority of the ignorant investors will not learn or realize because for them, the only thing that they want is for the market to go up, and up, and up which we know will not happen, right?
We've seen this for a long time especially for those who are into crypto for years. Bull market will happen then after that, a bear market happens, then after that, 2 long years of accumulation phase where the market will still give you an opportunity to buy at not the bottom price anymore, but still considered as low. If we know that this is the cycle then we must create a strategy based on that. Can I consider myself as a real "Bitcoiner" then because I enjoy this time of the year? I enjoy seeing the market going down, and down because I can accumulate more at a much cheaper price.

Newbies will learn that the good time to buy Bitcoin is during the bear market. Some will only learn it thru experience, and that's fine. Investors make mistakes and they adjust from them.
