I was here since 15k btc and chose to swing trade, short, and tried to time the local bottoms & tops, etc. I had buy limit orders, and whenever the price came near my buy limit order, I would readjust to a lower buy limit order, trying to get in at an even lower price. I had a legit addiction to continually try to time the market and get in at the lowest possible price. My buy limit would be set to 26k, then I would readjust to 24k when it came close, and so on. I also was obsessed with getting in with 2x leverage which made me paranoid to buy in at 30k, 25k, etc. "What if we retest the lows and I get liquidated?" So, my extreme risk-aversion kept setting in even though 25k would have been a fine price to buy-in on spot.
I've made practically nothing since 2022 and feel like such a fucking idiot. I legit thought I could outtrade the market and could have had about 300k+ if I had just hodl'd from the lows on spot. This was my first bear cycle (I entered the game late 2020), but God, I feel like a fucking retard for the way I handled the bear market. Just pure emotional reactions.
