GM. Why does NGU and watching my net worth go up almost daily feel so bad man?
I don't know about everyone else, but I am *nowhere near* my stacking goal. And it's getting farther and farther out of reach with every $ added to the Bitcoin exchange rate. 😢
Don't lose hope. It will dip. It has trended that way for epochs, and when it does, be prepared to buy.
I'm always prepared to buy and I stack at any price– The the overall trend is up, always has been, always will be. So the reality is that we will all be getting less sats/dollar on average from here on out.
The trick for peace of mind is to aspire to live where you only need a few bucks a week to live on. That way you don't need much BTC to retire on.
If you live in a place that requires massive amounts of money to live off comfortably, you're in for a long slog.
My observation of life: there is no such thing as financial security. Security in general is a head game best not played with money. If I feel secure, I am. If I don't, how much is enough cover for every eventuality?
I'm a freak, I live in a poorish place where 15-20k can get you a high standard of living ( based on work- life balance). And I still think the relatively petty financial wastage going on around here is criminal. :)
So it is insane to me how much /how many resources the top 1 billion "live" on.
Hopefully BTC fixes this.
Never go up, and watching our net worth go up is a double edged sword, if you know where BTC is heading and you want cheap sats.
I am convinced the goal post will continue to be pushed mentally.
After all we are only human. Well some of us are at least 😶🌫️
It it feels bad, there is probably something wrong with your mental model. Maybe try having a stacking goal of how many years of your labor’s purchasing power you want saved rather than how many Satoshis you need.
Yeah when I do the math it’s impressive! In a couple years stacking I have probably quadrupled or more the amount of time I would have saved in fiat. But still when I think realistically about how much I really need to comfortably retire and provide for my family- I’m not quite there yet 🤙
