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.

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.

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.

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.
Well, I believe we all definitely at some point in our life have gone through this very same circle, or let me simply speak for myself alone..
I discovered bitcoin in late 2015 and got in fully in 2016, that was when I also discovered and signed up on this forum, back then in my early days in this industry, I hadn't understood bitcoin fully but I was always curious to see where the price was headed anytime there was any major moves whether it be down or up..

But I am glad today that I now understand bitcoin much better and like you said, its no longer about its price, but more of seeing it grow in mainstream adoption, as this is one major key that will guarantee consistent and sustainable price growth, that is, many of us now realize that the more people accept and make use of bitcoin in their day to day life, creating demand for it in various business and financial sectors, so will the price continue to grow, and this is the best of form of price growth as it's completely organic and not based on hype.
