It takes a strong stomach to handle the ups and downs of crypto!

It takes a strong stomach to withstand the past three years being involved in cryptocurrency. I heard this saying as a kid, and I was thinking about my crypto journey. It has been quite astounding to go from "monopoly money" thinking to HODL'ing through this down stretch.

Now, I hold firm in my belief that I will be right on more than a majority (not all) of the cryptocurrency projects I invested it. However, some days I have to think to myself, I am glad I don't emotionally invest. I would have sold for a small gain, but a large loss form where the market was at in November 2024 after Trump was elected president.

I do think there is "smoke" as I recently wrote, which means if I am right, there is fire. That means I will make out well with solid grounded investments.

If I am wrong, my will it be some crazy good lesson to trust your initial instinct that crypto was indeed "monopoly money." 

However, I hold steadfast as ever. I have considered that I am struggling with the sunken cost fallacy, but do not believe that to be accurate. There is institutionalized adoption of cryptocurrency everywhere, in all cultures, and in all walks of life. That is foundational.

I can't wait to have the cryptocurrency to be fulfilled, to be more stabilized, and to be less erratic. Maybe that is a pipe dream, but I think crypto skyrockets in the next few years and then levels off. I do believe everything is undervalued at this moment. Not including shit coins.
