Yeah, our endpoint is profit but only those without plan, target will get caught in this analogy of yours especially those who were present for immediate profit (gambling Bitcoin prices). Every financial market has time or seasons, let me say something have we considered why; Price sells from a particular point and why it buys from a point too, who were those involved, who bought at that higher price, who sold at that price, this are simple question we ought to clearify.
I always and will keep laying emphasis on the need for having a target and being discipline, DCAing with getting exhausted and allow the market do it thing and not being fretful because of pump or dumps in the market.
Sometimes new traders still find it difficult to carry out plans like that because usually they still use trading money from the money they use for their living needs so that when they are trapped at high prices they feel depressed and sometimes also consider cryptocurrency trading as gambling. As new traders they must get proper guidance.
That's the point, Trading is not sustainable and cannot be the right approach when it comes to Bitcoin. I don't seem to understand why, newbies or people think Bitcoin is just a mere Tradable coin. We just need to accumulate, hold and be patient according to a suitable strategy and plan.
When it comes to investing the very basic rule is "invest what you can afford to lose", so anyone who is using the money meant for needs and wants into investing in Bitcoin is making a silly mistake with wrong step. That why we talk about having a discretionary funds and emergency funds before investing in Bitcoin to keep us at a safer zone as we invest in Bitcoin. And one must ensure that the efforts he is putting into building a solid Bitcoin portfolio is compounded and discipline about it by that I mean DCAing which reduces the stress and getting trapped in market since you have opportunity to always buy at every market price.
