you gotta sell and find a new floor after a reasonable time.
Suit yourself. In a chaotic inscrutable market, the only consistent indicator being an 8-year bull run amounting to something like a 100,000-bagger, the only rational trade is to buy and hodl.
Did you hold through all the bubbles you have witnessed?
No. In the period before the late 2013 skyrocket, I engaged in some laddered day trading. It taught me a hard lesson. I made a moderate gain in both BTC and fiat while volatility was moderate. However, when the skyrocket came, I was left holding a bag of stinky fiat, with no hope of buying back in at anywhere near the price at which I sold.
How do you cope with that?
I don't understand the question.
Is the fear of it going to Neptune without you higher than it going back to earth?
