if you had invest in bitcoin, would you follow the price every couple hours? if you had a job you would be more focus on your job than whats on the screen of your phone. you would be fired from your job? maybe. investing in bitcoin is hard on you everyday at every time. it can fall down to 1000$ in 2 hours if you dont pay attention to it. if you wanted to sell before that big dip but you cant because you are at work. invest what you can afford to lose. investing in bitcoin for a person working an 8 hour job is something else. i think thats why the price havent risen lately because people are more worried about their job than investing in a volatile market.
When I invested back in 2014, I'm only a minimum wage earner not hoping to get rich quickly but to somehow get something extra from my investments. Every week, I made sure that I can buy bitcoins with my spare money and thankfully I accumulated over 10 btc within a 2-year time period. I never paid attention much to the price, and I just kept on buying and buying. For long-term holders, this will actually work since you can think of your money being deposited to a bank with higher interest rate, though you can withdraw it anytime you like. If you can't handle the stress on investing, then don't. You don't need to check the prices every hour or two since it will really change, up or down. Do whatever it is that you do and let your investment sit there if you're not a day-trader.
