In 2022, I finally bought a small amount — but after a short price dip, I panicked and sold. Weeks later, the price recovered and went beyond my original entry point. That moment made me realise:
♤Bitcoin doesn’t reward panic
♤Timing the market perfectly is a myth
♤Long-term thinking beats quick emotional reactions
I’ve since started using Bitcoin more as a long-term store of value than a get-rich-quick tool.
That’s why they said that anyone who has interest in investing in Bitcoin or buying and holding for a long period of time should have enough patience and not be so emotional. Because if a person has any of this, it can never be successful whenever he tries to hold Bitcoin for a long period of time. You stated that you bought small amounts of BTC in the year of 2022, and after the short price, you decided to sell after panicking about the market crash and later regretted it after you realized that the market had recovered back to the normal points, and what caused all this was a lack of patience when it came to investment. It’s very important for us to know how to control our emotions so that it can avoid from big losses.
