We should maintain a positive attitude because negativity will not benefit our investment. But we need to be realistic that just because we have a positive attitude, it doesn't mean that the price of bitcoin will move according to our positivity. Like Q1 and Q2, we were all very optimistic and confident that bitcoin would be able to reach $120k to $130k, but it didn't happen as expected.
Bitcoin is unpredictable, anything can happen, so while we are always optimistic. But always have a backup plan for the opposite situation if you don't want to be disappointed.
I get that we can't be expecting it to go up all the time, but it can be positive even when it goes down, at least our motives and our hopes could be positive. My stance on bitcoin has always been "if it is going up, I am making a profit, if it is going down then I have cheap bitcoin to buy" so in any case I find something to be happy about and I will keep doing that as long as I possibly could. I know that this is a tough one but that doesn't mean we are going to face some issues for the long term.
What we can do right now is to keep our hopes up, and keep on investing for the long term, do that when it is going down, do that when it is staying about stable, you can avoid doing it when the price is going up which would make more sense.
