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.
Almost all people who were in the early stages of adopting bitcoin (investing in bitcoin for the first time) must have felt the same way, where we were always fixated on temporary ups and downs that made us feel proud or even fearful.

But as time went by and we became more familiar with bitcoin or more aware of our purpose for being in bitcoin, this kind of thing became less and less of an issue.
I personally experienced the same thing a few years ago. When my portfolio declined due to a correction, I was always on the brink of panic. And when it rose by just a few percent, I would always say that I was successful in Bitcoin. But as time went on and I became more familiar with my long-term goals, I personally always felt comfortable, even during temporary corrections, because I realized that this situation was temporary and not my ultimate goal.

Panic is a natural reaction because we have emotions, but such situations shouldn’t be overly dramatized. After all, we are aware that the choice ultimately lies with each individual, and when we invest in Bitcoin, we understand that such risks are inevitable.
