Spent years trying to time tops and bottoms on BTC, finally accepted I'm just bad at it and it saved me so much stress

I was that man continuously checking if we're at a prime, selling too early, then shopping for again in larger because I panicked about lacking the subsequent leg up. I did that extra occasions than I need to admit. Few months ago, I just acquired uninterested in it and decided to stop making an attempt to be smarter than the market and just hold by way of the noise as an alternative. The humorous factor is, once I ended making an attempt to trade around it, the stress dropped like 90% and the returns truly acquired higher. Seems doing nothing beats doing something more often than not if you're not truly good at the one thing lol.

The one draw back of just holding is it does feel a bit passive after a while, like your BTC is just sitting there not likely doing something for you when you wait out the years. That's the primary cause lending caught my attention just lately, not as a method to get again into making an attempt to be clever, just as a solution to let the BTC truly do something productive while still holding via every part the identical means I all the time have.

The trustless setups the place it by no means truly leaves your custody are what made it click for me. It feels much less like trading and more like simply an improve to holding.

Anyone else go through that part of making an attempt to time all the things and just ultimately hand over and maintain as an alternative? And in that case, has anybody truly tried putting their stack into any of the lending choices out there, or are you all nonetheless within the pure holding camp?
