Reflection] I went all in on BTC. Was it the right move?
Hey everyone. I recently made a pretty big financial decision and wanted to share it here, not looking for validation, just hoping to start an honest conversation. I took an inherited sum from my family, not life changing but significant, and put 100% of it into Bitcoin. It wasn’t impulsive. I spent time learning the basics: how halving works, the fixed supply, proof of work, the importance of self custody, how to manage private keys. I did everything by the book, hardware wallet, seed phrase secured, no custodial exchanges. My head was clear, the reasoning felt strong. But after the move, I was hit with this weird emotional gap. Not regret. Not fear. Just quiet. Like my mind was still processing it even though I was fully convinced. I don’t even check the price anymore. I believe in the long term thesis. Still, the feeling lingered. And it got me wondering, is this normal? Has anyone else here gone through something similar? That feeling where you act with conviction, but your emotions take a while to catch up? I’m not asking whether I did the right thing or not, everyone has their own journey. I’m just curious how others dealt with the psychological side of making a big, high conviction move that quietly shakes something inside. Would love to hear your experiences or thoughts. submitted by /u/Foxyboy0 [link] [comments]
