Considering our present as our past, put yourself in the future and think about what your future self would advise you right now. In this bear market, the price is low. Not as low as in 2008, but it is low now. What are you going to do? Ignore this now and in the future tell yourself when Bitcoin crosses its ATH again that, "if only I had a time machine now"
I have already taken the advice from my future self, and I know for sure that I will be in regrets if I do not follow the advice I have gotten to never quit getting bitcoins in any amount that I can get. I think my future self will be disappointed if I do not follow the advice and will most likely get depressed thinking about what could have been knowing that bitcoins will have a bigger status then than it has now. I want to be patient with bitcoins, and I urge every newbie who just started recently getting bitcoins not to get discouraged, bitcoins will do better, you will regret it in the future if you stop buying. Make it into a plan this new year, little amounts in purchase monthly will mean a lot in the years to come.
