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 the funds made for handling your basic needs and expenses or when you start buying 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.
True bruh, because a lot of people don’t really separate Aggressive from been Reckless.. The truth is, if you’re consistent and disciplined, your stack will grow naturally without you even noticing.. The real danger is when somebody is trying to force the growth, using money that is meant for rent, food, or emergency just because they don’t wanna miss dip... That one will always lead to regret, because life is not predictable, and once those needs come up, you will end up selling your Bitcoin at the wrong time…. Long term play don’t need pressure, jst simply patience and consistency is enough...
At the same time, I also believe aggressive has its own meaning depending on your financial level…. If you do earn small, your aggressive might still look small compared to another person that earn bigger income…. But the key point is that everybody should know their limit… Bitcoin is not running anywhere, so don’t excessively pressure or kill yourself just because you want to go aggressive.. The best way is jst to balance your hustle, buy steadily, safeguard your life needs, and let time do its work…..
