I haven't been around that long, but I have had to temper my euphoria as much as my despair for a decade now.
At $800, I told my wife I I was buying bitcoin instead of saving for a house because it made more sense. She wasn't on board back then.
The first "China Ban" was brutal. It went from $5,000 to like $3,000 and I almost threw up.
Then it went to $10,000 on my birthday in 2017. My wife wanted me to sell at $20,000 because we needed a house.
March of 2020 was gut wrenching.
The FTX debacle didn't bother me. I was happy to stack more sats. At some point Instopped looking at the price very much. I hardly look at all now.
It wouldn't suprise me if it drops another 50%, but I'll be happy to stack more sats.
We already understand the value of bitcoin. Few of us do. Most do not. As long as the block height goes up and SHA256 works, I'm not worried.
