BTC Treasury to calm the mind

“I love BTC but this cycle there hasn't always been a great way for me to trade it (there are better, more potentially rewarding / cleaner setups out there). On BTC exclusively I've actually 'missed' 2 of 7 major rallies past ~3 years.

Same thing here: whilst my analysis on BTC is straightforward, how I'd execute that analysis is not - chart isn't as 'clean' as I'd love it to be.

Just the way she goes sometimes.

When I was a beginner this mindset was never an option for me. I was emotionally invested in Bitcoin and even if my alts were outperforming I would still feel like I was missing something by not having Bitcoin exposure. Led to forcing trades that I felt half-confident in / getting chopped up.

About 5yrs ago I decided to refute that possibility by just mentally and physically (ledger) defining an investment bag on BTC (ex: I would like to have exposure to minimum 0.25/0.5/1 BTC at any moment, non-tradable/untouchable, for the longterm future). Emotionally invested = maybe I should be financially invested too - that's logical.

That new perspective has since provided lots of clarity, and allowed me to be more fluid the past 5yrs; not ever feeling like I need to force positions just to ensure I have a position.

It's also allowed me to focus attention on relatively stronger coins in the market, comfortably. Lots of benefits, although can easily be presented as 'cope' - I can attest it isn't. Sorry for the Ted talk”.
