Of course, each of us is responsible for our own level of aggressiveness, and we should not let pressure from online or groups affect our choices in that there is nothing wrong with being aggressive as long as we do not end up overdoing it. If we overdo it, then we have to suffer the consequences, and it might be 10 years down the road that we realize that we cannot turn back the clock an hopefully we did what we were able to do without overdoing it and taking ourselves out of the game due to our own overly aggressive screw up(s).
if I may ask, how does someone really decide where to draw the line between being aggressive enough to see good gains and being too aggressive to the point it turns risky?
one thing you should understand is that there is nothing like been "aggressive enough to see good gains" when it comes to long term holding of bitcoin, just be consistence in buying bitcoin with your discretionary income you will reach your accumulating target and then hold it for 4 to 10 years or longer. Been "too aggressive to the point it turn risky" is when you start accumulating bitcoin with your emergency fund after you must have exusted your back up all the name of buying the dips, so no matter aggressive you want don't overdo it just as JJG had said earlier only buy bitcoin aggressively within your level don't go above your level.
