I don't think that it's normal for a Bitcoin investor to be emotional about his or her holdings, unless you are investing with an amount you can't do away with, but if you are investing with an amount you can afford to lose, bro nothing is making you emotional about your holdings

All investors are human, not robots or bots so human all have emotions and everyone is affected by human emotions. Difference is between people who can be more or less disciplined than others and have better or worse risk and capital management.

Those things are either well controlled or bad controlled that will decide those people reactions on a same market. You can have positive or negative emotion and feelings about the market but if you manage risk and capital well enough, and if you are disciplined enough, you will not either do FOMO purchase or panic sale. Because almost everything you do with your investment portfolio and decisions of purchases and sales are done very disciplined and less likely emotional affected.

I think that what barikui1 is trying to say is that it's not about not being a robot, it's more of investing with an amount you can afford to lose, even in trading, their is a popular saying, which says; trade with an amount you can afford to lose, because once you trade or invest with an amount you can afford to lose, you wouldn't be bothered that much if the investment or trade is not going your way, and your emotions will surely be in a good state, so I share the same sentiment with him, if you invest with an amount you can afford to lose, you certainly wouldn't be emotional about your holdings even if it's not going as planned, it's only when you invest a very huge amount of money you can't afford to lose that you will be panicking anytime their is a serious dip in the market.

Why will an investor whose initial strategy is based on the long term goal of accumulation and holding will start panicking whenever the investment or trade is not going his or her way. It is only when someone with the mindset of cashing out at every up turn or downturn in the market for a quick profit will panic and anyone with such mindset is only but a trader. But if you’re an investor with a long term goal of accumulating and holding you wouldn’t be panicking or getting so emotional whenever the market or trade is not going your way because obviously in bitcoin investment you’re not expecting the trade to always go your way at every cycle, you must understand the volatility of bitcoin and if you understand that you will always be focused on accumulating continuously and hold no matter the market situation, weather is favoring you or not, you won’t be feeling disappointed or start crying that you’re running loss. In the case of an investing with an amount you can afford to lose, bitcoin investment still made it possible with the DCA method of accumulation, this is where the DCA method comes to play, you can chose the amount you want to be investing with either on weekly basis or monthly basis, so you won’t over do yourself and start panicking whenever it’s not going your way, your focus is on your continuous accumulation using your already existing DCA method.

That dca is a very effective strategy doesn't make other strategies inefficient or irrelevant, one can still using the DCA in combination with other strategies, like the lump sum, buy the dip and can even front load their investment, it is all all about having the financial ability to maximize various opportunities of increasing our Bitcoin holding in such a way we can be comfortable without over doing it.

The market is not designated to go in only one direction a lot of people failed to recognize this fact and the reason why they can miss good buying opportunities perhaps anyone that has sold his or her holding is never in a lost there is no reason to panic sell when you are investing from a discretionary income meaning that your other life activities is in good condition.
