Might just be me, but when BTC go through these dips its a lot less stressful than when btc is in price discovery in uppity. I try to measure my stack based on the 200 WMA and X% deviations, so it doesnt overly worry me when it dips, but the excitement of it going up I find quite stressful and feel the need to be like price watching all the time. When it dips I get to take a break and be like well when it returns to X level I will start watching it again.

I think maybe the cause for it, is that I stop measuring my stack by the 200WMA subconsciously in an uptrend and spot price becomes a stressor.

Its just something I recognized for the first time during this last month, and its not even the biggest dip/bounce I have been through but this behavioral pattern has been repeating since I got in.

Any words of wisdom from the OG's on how I should address this?

Personally I think that you are showing some maturity as an investor, and surely many of us find stress in either bitcoin price direction, even though surely we many of the longer term HODLers have already created various strategies to attempt to mitigate the stress, yet I doubt that we can get the stress to completely go away, even though when we are looking at valuation of our holdings in terms of the 200-WMA, we can also consider the extent to which we might want to try to be more aggressive (if we are capable of doing so) in our accumulation of BTC, to the extent that we are still accumulating BTC.

i though that I recall that you are still expecting a year or two or maybe a bit more time for your ongoing BTC accumulation, assuming that maybe you will be accumulating BTC during our 2026 BTC price drops, to the extent that we might have price drops in 2026...and maybe by 2026, you might really start to feel that you have gotten towards a point of over-accumulation of BTC. .since we have the passage of both time and price, and if you have been fairly aggressively accumulating bitcoin for a whole cycle or a cycle and a half (which may be somewhat your situation), the you have pretty decent chances of becoming even less worried about accumulating more BTC by the time we get to 2027 or 2028.. . .but yeah, sure, you know your situation better than me, and of course, no matter how many of us are seeing BTC price waves and various developments in BTC, we never are guaranteed that the ballpark of our expectations are going to end up playing out how we want them to play out, so we can ONLY do our best to try to make sure that we stay alive and don't end up recking ourselves in the process of building and maintaining our BTC holdings, especially during our years of ongoing accumulation, even if they are seeming to be relatively small accumulations because we are continuing to accumulate even though our average cost per BTC remains much lower than the current price (even our current dippity price).

Of course anyone still accumulating BTC, even if he is getting to a point of having a lot, or enough, he still is likely going to feel some additional value to be able to be keeping on stacking BTC on dips, since BTC are about 20% or more discounted as compared to what they were a month ago, and yeah, perhaps you were going to be stacking sats anyway last month, but this month (at least for the moment) you are able to get some BTC for less expensive prices, even though you might also be running out of money, so you really might ONLY have your weekly DCA in terms of sometimes ONLY have so much extra money that you are able to use for buying our kinds of current dippenings.

For some reason, it is similar for me. It's not like I measure things using the 200WMA, though. When she goes down, I shrug it off and know she'll come around eventually, so I stop calling her lest she thinks I'm a needy whiner. When she goes up, I try to figure out if, when, how much to sell. That requires a lot of energy and makes me weary. However, until today I haven't actually sold anything because I'm used to live semi-frugally, or to be more precise well within my means. One egg in my ramen feels like it's just right if I don't end up indulging too often - certainly not every day. A hot dog, oh boy, that's reserved for Christmas.

I still like it a lot more when she goes up though. Go figure.

I hope you are getting close to 0.6303 or more of dee cornz, like some "arguably humble bumble" peeps that I know.

I have several times mentioned that I feel way much MOAR better with UPpity rather down, even though I think that I share an opinion with many others that here is no way that we really get away without experiencing a decent amount of ongoing and inevitable volatility, yet we can kind of structure our own financial and psychological set ups to attempt to mitigate as best as we can.

CME gap at $75k.

$10k dump incoming? Undecided

hey relax and enjoy it like d_eddie, greyhats and myself Grin

@greyhats.. same here. i dont really pay attention to dips, even this one. and uppidy requires actual planning beyond ladders on exchanges.

Assuming that we have either reached a status of over accumulation or close to over accumulation, there seem to be ways that guys should be able to figure out in advance various price points in which we might shave off a wee bit of our cornz.. whether we are doing that on 20% price rises, 50% price rises 100% price rises or some other intervals.. and even if we might establish a somewhat solid plan for doing such, we should be able to figure out ways to live with consequences of our plans being reached or not reached, and if we are getting overly stressed that we did not sell enough or we sold too much, then we should also be capable of employing some tweaks to our system to help to make our lil selfies a wee bit more comfortable the next time around (in the event a next time around ends up presenting itself prior to our kicking the bucket or some other unfortunate life-event ends up happening to add some additional twist to our mix of material individualized considerations).
