I have tried investing alone without any form of encouragement from people but I found it to be difficult hence my reason for being back.
Is the difficulty in your ability to keep holding your Bitcoin or to continue buying Bitcoin for your investment?
I don't know what kind of encouragement can affect someone's interest and determination to keep holding their Bitcoin. But maybe there are some people who need encouragement to give confidence or increase self-confidence. Maybe when you are active in the forum and read some topics related to Bitcoin price fluctuations, it will still give you peace of mind because there will definitely be encouragement from other members to keep holding and not panic.
