Back in early 2020, I bought my first satoshis. Like many, I didn’t fully grasp what I was stepping into—but I knew it was important. Since then, I’ve held through highs, lows, hype cycles, and crashes.
Here’s what I’ve learnt—valuable tips for anyone navigating the wild world of Bitcoin and crypto:
🧠 1. Ignore price predictions and altcoin hype.
Most predictions are noise. Most altcoins are narratives. Stay focused, stay updated about Market movements and always Do Your Own Research
📉 2. The mainstream media is almost always wrong about Bitcoin.
If you’re relying on headlines to guide your strategy, you’re late by definition.
📋 3. Have a plan—and stick to it.
Emotional decisions are expensive. Define your goals, your time horizon, and your exit strategy early.
📈 4. Embrace DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging).
Consistently stacking over time builds wealth quietly. Combine it with the occasional “smash buy” when conviction is high.
🤫 5. When you win, move in silence.
Success in crypto can attract the wrong attention. Protect your peace and your privacy.
Whether you’re just getting started or you’re a few cycles deep, remember: time in the market beats timing the market. HODLing is simple, but it isn’t easy. You’ll be tested emotionally, mentally, and financially. Volatility is the price you pay for long-term freedom.
HODL on. Stack steady. Think long-term.
