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 used to be that guy always checking if we're at a prime, promoting too early, then buying back in greater because I panicked about missing the subsequent leg up. I did that more occasions than I need to admit. Few months ago, I simply received uninterested in it and determined to stop making an attempt to be smarter than the market and simply maintain by way of the noise as an alternative. The funny factor is, as soon as I ended making an attempt to trade round it, the stress dropped like 90% and the returns truly received better. Seems doing nothing beats doing something most of the time once you're not truly good on the something lol.

The one downside of simply holding is it does feel just a little passive after a while, like your BTC is simply sitting there not likely doing something for you when you wait out the years. That's the primary cause lending caught my consideration lately, not as a method to get again into making an attempt to be intelligent, simply as a option to let the BTC truly do something productive while nonetheless holding by way of every thing the identical means I all the time have.

The trustless setups where it by no means truly leaves your custody are what made it click on for me. It feels much less like buying and selling and extra like simply an upgrade to holding.

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