I really understand what you said, especially about focusing on longterm plans and not trying to predict every move Bitcoin makes. The market is too volatile to guess right all the time, so building a habit of steady accumulation based on my discretionarys income feels like the best way forward. I am learning that it is not about how much I earn, but how much I can consistently set aside without affecting my needs. If I can grow that part and stay committed, then I know over time my portfolio will also grow, regardless of the market swings.
If you have a long-term investment plan, you don't need to worry so much about the market because you are not investing all your money in one day, but you are buying Bitcoin step by step based on your income. Suppose you buy Bitcoin twice in a month and the market is not in the same position both times, then if you buy Bitcoin with a relatively large amount of money the first time, the next time you may have the opportunity to buy Bitcoin with a relatively small amount of money. Those who plan to invest for the long term but think a lot before investing that their money will be lost or whether they will be successful, they cannot actually invest most of the time.
First of all, you have to take risks and invest with risks and maintain the continuity of that investment. When you see that you can invest consistently and you have no doubts about the market, then you can form an additional fund to strengthen your investment even more. This additional fund will help you to be more regular in investing.
For example, when you don't have enough money to invest, you can use this emergency fund to invest. This is a good advantage of building up an additional fund.
