Personally, I do believe that some deviation from a self-created plan (or even a plan that any guy might have taken from someone else) can be employed, but having a pretty strongly thought out plan is way better than not having much if any kind of plan, so at least if you already have a buy/sell/HODL plan, you at least know from what you are deviating, in the event that you consider or employ deviation to your plan.

Many of us likely realize that one of the major issues with mindrust is that he seemed to have not been sufficiently convicted in his BTC plan, and then when he actually deviated from his plan, it deviated in a very extreme way, like throwing out both the bathwater and the baby.. and then coming up with some feel good, and likely quite inferior plan.

Sure, we cannot exactly get in the head of mindrust, even though he did give us a decent amount of contemporary thoughts that he was having at the time of his crisis, and so even he disclosed along the way and during the crisis that he was having that he was really NOT very prepared some some extreme scenarios, and accordingly, he was already planning to fly by the seat of his pants, somewhat, if any extreme scenario were to unfold... part of the reason that I am such a fan of incrementalism in something like bitcoin - even though probably many of us do imagine some extreme scenarios that might even cause each of us to lose our shit.
