Bitcoin history does not have to be scary for us that have witnessed a substantial part of that full history and can bear witness that for each circle in bitcoin history that aggressive buyers that patiently hold their portfolio with a successively intervals accumulations after having to front load they have perpetually made significant profit. Price fluctuations are inevitable for bitcoin, a volatile asset and it is our duty to maximise these price falls in the long term projection to accumulate as much as our discretionary income allows be it for a single circle or more.
That means you are new to the forum and not new to Bitcoin? I know a lot of people like that who join the forum just to have a sense of belonging to a community of like minds which in this case the common denominator is Bitcoin. Being that as it may, you sound so experienced with full grasp of the rudiments of Bitcoin accumulation, price movement and general expectations.
The only divergence I have with you is the suggestion that a single market cycle will suffice for holding, I don't share in that sentiment and I don't also encourage people to think that short duration. I think we should rather encourage people to HODL, which is never to run out of Bitcoin no matter what. If you are in your accumulation phase, there should really be no point selling your collected Bitcoin, just keep adding more coins to your portfolio until you get to over accumulation phase, probably when you would have been done with active service. Beyond this phase you can then relax and work out ways of enjoying the fruit of your labor and should be well plan so you will not exhaust your stash and you should even have something to pass down to the next generation.
