I’ve since started using Bitcoin more as a long-term store of value than a get-rich-quick tool.
That's why it's very important to do your research and study before jumping into investment. If you had done this, it wound have given you and insight of how the market works on a long term base. You don't expect price to trend to your direction just because you invested at that moment. It's going to test your patience and willingness to hold the market at all conditions. Bitcoin requires time and patience for one to be able to make substantial profits from their investments. You don't have to panic after the market, asa long term holder you just stay calm and avoid getting panicked..
