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.
This was certainly one way to be on an Adrenaline pump, you would always be filled with some kind of emotions every time as Bitcoin remains volatile by the day and by the season. Also, the notion of getting rich quick is something that would be associated as you’ve noted and surely would warrant a change.
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.
That’s one way to go about it, checking the charts certainly creates an impression but, it’s not all that bad. If you are the type that waits to buy at the dip, checking the charts keeps you updated or better still, you make certain price based analysis where you get notified to either get in the market and buy or have your auto buy triggered.
