honestly.. i don’t try to (forget) my bitcoin.. i just think of it as something i have already locked away for my future self.. for me the trick is not mixing it with my everyday money.. if i ever see it as (spending cash) i will probably get tempted but when i treat it like it’s completely off limits.. kind of like savings i can’t touch.. then i stop thinking about selling it every time the price moves

so i guess for me it’s not about pretending it’s not mine but about seeing it as mine later.. not mine now

Honestly, you got the right idea. Im not trying to forget Bitcoin. Nah, its more about treating it as something completely separate from your everyday money.

Personally, I just see it as a stash for the long haul - like, long-term savings or somenthing. The second you treat it like spending cash, those crazy price swings start messing with your head. Next thing you know, you are panic-selling or FOMO-buying, and boom! Bye-bye money. Wink

If you put everything in bitcoin you have no choice but to pull it out, if you need something, the best way is put money that you are not going to touch for a long time making like a percentage that is really for bitcoin and wont be needing, that is why its much better if slowly buying bitcoin not at one go, because it will just make you in a state of not moving because you already put everything, keep some for other things, you can always buy the next month or every 15 days, depends on what you have, in my opinion.
