from my previous experience, I never felt disappointed with the expectations I had from bitcoin, especially when the halving came. Either there may be different experiences felt by others, or either my expectations are not as great as others as you say.

That is because you have not really had too much of an expectation. Let us say, for instance, that you expect the bitcoin price to be circulating at the range of $100,000 at the beginning or 3rd quarter of 2024, which makes you invest heavily more than you have planned for with the hope of getting a huge profit when the price hits your expectation on that presumed date, but the reverse becomes the case; instead of seeing $100,000, you are seeing below your entering price, which will be a loss on your side. In such a scenario, we could see that having high expectations has actually led to disappointment.

Indirectly this says that having expectations is of course okay but don't have too high expectations in this case because we also have to be aware that there is always a process in every increase and this is also not one of the instant wealth barns so in this case when our expectations are not too high it is possible for us to feel that the plans we are doing in bitcoin are very satisfying.
The problem is that many people sometimes think of expectations that are too high. Although indeed the expectation is also not wrong and still possible to happen but of course there must be a vulnerable time so that the increase from bitcoin still looks quite reasonable. The hope of being in bitcoin is something very good but don't let your high expectations actually make you lose confidence because of expectations that should take time you want it in a short time.

It depends on each of us, of course everyone has their own expectations and there is also a basis why they set those expectations, regardless of whether or not they are high. But I also think everyone also has limits so that they are not disappointed later.
Disappointment is normal, I won't argue with that. But I want to emphasize here is when my expectations reach 100k for example but what happens is the opposite, as you said.
And also actually we can't be said to have lost because we haven't sold it, because at one time if we keep holding it, it is very possible to touch 100k, it's just that the time we feel must be longer than our expectations.
