I think instead of time it could be price. That way whenever that price hits then you can sell and you will be fine. I have my own goal, I want to have enough money to retire and never work again, well maybe work for fun because I like my job more and more every day, but I want to work not for just money but for fun, I want to be able to not work and still have enough money if I want to.
I do have a number in my mind for that and that is why I keep saving money and putting it in crypto, lately it has been quite difficult because of some life stuff happened in early august, but I am doing much better now, and that is why I am quite happy with the life I have right now. Just accumulate more and more and more crypto until one day the fiat amount is good enough to retire. That way I do not have to worry about ups and downs, they are irrelevant until I reach that number.
I've got the same dream as yours, trying to find ways to have an early retirement and enjoy more time with my kids.
A day job helps me to save my needs but not enough to fulfill my dreams, and here comes crypto investment where opportunities are still
wide open for everyone, it's not about how fast you earned but the system that you'll going to use.
Saving portions of your saving to crypto is a good way to save for your future, just calm yourself if you notice some dump happened
it's a part of the cycle so instead of worrying yourself it's best to add more, you are buying cheaper and keeping it for the chance that it will grow and let you earn more.
