hoarding since 2012

What? Since 2012? I am glad to hear from an old-timer who still has access to his Bitcoin hodling. This means you have overcome many temptations to sell. You have been able to overcome countless FUDs caused by many events. How were you able to cope when there were various predictions of the death of Bitcoin?

most "death" talk is just price mania.. not fundamental technology failure.. if im not wanting to sell i have no need to care about the price whims of that period. price becomes meaningless to me.. its like people dont worry about tidal waves or tsunami's if they are not going near a beach

Keeping Bitcoin for 11 years is bravery to me because it takes uncommon faith and patience. It takes financial planning and prudence to live within your means to avoid selling your investment.

i do sell small % to cover my yearly costs. and although i do plan and am frugal. i do travel and enjoy life so its not like im torturing myself to "live within my means"

It beats my imagination how people believed in a strange coin and kept holding it even when they had various opportunities to sell and make some profit. I just feel that people who are still keeping their coin visualized or saw what others didn't.

early years for me 2012-2014 i was a day trader.. not looking to exit for fiat profit, but instead to accumulate coin. i did not see the price as a $ figure
i seen it as a %Up Arrow. ↑ ↓ of last trade i measured it in +/- sats.
i didnt care what the price was. it was just is order B better accumulation than order A exposure

if the price was $6-$12 in 2012 or was $250-$500 another year i just seen it as 2x on both occasions. the monetary amount didnt bother me. it was about % and multipliers and sat amounts

then i took a back seat away from day trading thus didnt need to look at price drama
