 First bought #Bitcoin 5 years ago. Brain still FUDs me from time to time. https://i.nostr.build/4oGeW.jpg
  
 Happens 😅

I don’t think it’s exclusive to Bitcoin though. All the big things in life we’ve acted on. Some kind of survival tactic probably

Probably nothing. Right??? 😰 
 Yeah, it happens for any big consequential decision 😅😅

Just gotta stick to my guns. It's just that my guns have been wrong before. 

But those things that turned out to be wrong smelled wrong from the beginning. There would always be these moments of clarity where things didn't make sense. 

But Bitcoin has never smelled wrong to me. Ever since I first got my coins on my own hardware wallet.

 Also let’s be honest. The question is more like, “should i have sold some so i could have bought back more???”

And the answer of course should always be: no you dumb fuck, stay humble 
 Haha, yeah. I had a wild journey those first few years. 

Staying humble was the best course of action. I was even a seller for a little bit. I quit my job to find a better career path. I did, but Bitcoin as my savings gave me the financial stability to take my time. I've made back more than twice the Bitcoin I sold since then, investing in myself. 
 When that uncertainty arives I try to think that even if I'm wrong about Bitcoin, there's just nowhere to run. I would loose my money in the long run the same way if it was fiat, Bitcoin is the best chance of not going nuts. 
 That's so true. Thank you. 
 Bitcoin is the hill worth dying on. Even if it failed we’d be right to support the Network for its inbuilt properties eg trust-less / permission-less / decentralized / immutable / debasement-proof 
 It won’t fail. We won. We’re just early 
 I agree but I’m saying that if it did I wouldn’t regret dying on the Bitcoin hill. 
 Totally agree with you. I just wanted to say we won. Feels good 
 Fuck yeah it does.

 That’s a great one! 
We won…right? 😂😂 
 We have a winning play. Now we have to continue executing it. 
 Definitely 
 Don’t get all weak kneed now my man. 
Pull your big boy pants up and get your head straight. 
 It's so worth it. You're right. 

And I don't just want to die on this hill. I want to thrive on it 🔥 
 We’re thriving class of 2019 represent 🫡 
 2019 🙌 

The biggest inflection point of my life. 
 Same, by a lot. Can’t believe how far I’ve come since I found Bitcoin. 
 Will there ever be more than 21 million BTC?
Are global network effects slowing down?
Did someone invent a way to digitally teleport gold?
Are global debt levels no longer accelerating exponentially?

Some questions I ask myself to ride out the big drops while buying more. 
 Absolutely, great strategy🙏🙏 
 Get a better brain. Seriously. wtf is the matter with you. 
 Best to start fresh.

 there is no going back 
 Whenever that happens to me I listen to whatever wisdom these nice fellas are sharing with the world on every given day and I immediately go back to: 
End the #Fiat system or die trying… https://image.nostr.build/ada973b972285757df996c808b94eb67c35581882d15d5720880b1eaab36c7fc.jpg
