Brothers, today I saw Bitcoin fluctuating in the 66k-67k range again, to be honest, it feels a bit sour. When it surged past 120k at the end of last year, everyone was thrilled, but now it's pulled back more than half, and the comments are full of voices saying 'it's going to crash' and 'better run away'. But every time I see this kind of situation, I actually feel more at ease. Why? Because I've long understood one principle: 'To make real money in the crypto world, it's not about betting on a price jump tomorrow, but about enduring'. Enduring loneliness, enduring the panic of seeing red, enduring when everyone says you're foolish. I started dollar-cost averaging Bitcoin during the bear market in 2022, and back then, every investment felt like my heart was bleeding, with an average cost that soared above 40k. And then? When it surged in 2025, it brought me back several times into positive returns. Now that it's pulled back again, I'm actually happy; I can buy more cheap chips.
Dollar-cost averaging is, to put it simply, a contest with yourself: When others are FOMO-ing and chasing highs, you are holding back from increasing your position; when others are panicking and cutting losses, you are quietly adding to your position; when the market is shouting that 'the top has been reached' or 'it's going to zero', you treat it like background noise and continue to invest a fixed amount weekly/monthly without looking at the technicals or chasing trends, just mindlessly buying, and after buying, block the charts for 24 hours. Why act so foolishly? Because I know I can't handle my emotions. The more I watch the charts, the easier it is to make mistakes. Dollar-cost averaging is about letting 'time' and 'compound interest' deal with the greed and fear inherent in human nature.
Reflecting on these past few years, the toughest period was from the end of 2022 to 2023, when the price halved again and again, and my social circle was full of ridicule saying, 'Are you still playing with coins? Accept your fate early.' At that time, my wife even asked me, 'Are you crazy? Still investing every month?' I could only smile wryly and say, 'I've invested, I’ve invested; if I lose, it's tuition. Not investing would be the real regret.' What was the result? I endured until now, and my account went from green to red, then back to green, and now it's slowly recovering again. I don't think I'm particularly smart; I just persisted a little longer than most people.
Brother, if you're also tempted, don't rush to go all in, and don't wait for the 'perfect bottom'. Start today with a small goal: invest 5%-10% of your monthly salary that you can afford to lose, even if it's just a few hundred dollars. Stick with it for 4 years, 8 years, and looking back, you'll thank the version of yourself that wasn't taken down by emotions.
Now Bitcoin is fluctuating around 67k again, the EMA200 is still pressing down from above, and in the short term, it may need to grind a bit more. But I know in my heart: "Every major correction is a gift prepared for long-term investors."
Who wants to continue dollar-cost averaging with me? Check in the comments, let me know how long you've been investing and what your average cost is. If it's inconvenient to say, just mention a range. 😄 Let's encourage each other and wait for the next bull market to lift us up! 🚀🔥 If you can endure the loneliness, you can wait for the clouds to part and see the bright sun.#BTC #定投 #hold #大饼 #比特币
Writing to this point, my hands are a bit shaky, haha, emotions are running high. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, may the Year of the Horse bring you good fortune, and may you grow stronger with every setback! May you achieve financial freedom soon! 😄👍💪🌹$BTC
