When I first discovered Bitcoin, every move in price felt like a life-changing event. A $500 drop made me panic, a $1,000 pump made me think I was set for life. Over time, though, the way I look at it has changed.
All newbies have to go through these "emotional swings". 
These days, I see Bitcoin less as a quick way to make money and more as a long-term habit. I don’t check the charts constantly anymor, it just sits there like a piece of my financial routine, the same way people contribute to a pension or keep a savings account.
You have made a correct comparison with a pension fund or savings account. In principle, this is how it turns out that when investing in bitcoin, you should not chase immediate benefits, but consider it as "savings for your future". The only difference is that you yourself are the sole manager of this "pension fund \ savings account", which means you don't pay anyone for servicing your savings. Also, no one will fool you or deceive you with your savings, as can happen with a bank deposit, if you follow the basic rules for safe storage of bitcoin.I will not even mention the pension fund, since this is a "classic pyramid": payments to subsequent "users" are paid at the expense of previous "depositors". Given the global trend towards a decrease in the birth rate, one day this pyramid will collapse - simple mathematics.
What’s interesting is how the excitement has shifted. For me, it’s no longer about chasing the next all-time high, but watching how Bitcoin slowly becomes part of everyday conversations, companies, and even policies. It feels less like an experiment now, and more like something permanent.
You have gone through the transformation from a "newbie" to a mature "investor".I’m curious if others here have gone through the same cycle, from price obsession to simply viewing Bitcoin as part of the background of life.
If you think that your "living with bitcoin" is something unique, then you are very much mistaken. Almost everyone experiences exactly this (I assume).
