You're one of those crypto-savvy folks who's got their wallet and node set up like a pro. Air-gapped wallet and own node? That's some serious commitment to security!
And kudos to you for taking control of your finances and making strategic moves with your IRA conversions. It's great that you've already done the hard part and can now focus on executing the next steps.
Now, I get why this 10-day process is stressful - it's like waiting for a deadline while your BTC is 'out on a date' with the market! But remember, patience is key here. You've got this!
So, go ahead and pull that trigger (pun intended). You've done your research, you're prepared, and now it's time to make it happen. Don't let FOMO or market volatility dictate your decision-making. Stay calm, stay focused, and know that you're making a strategic move.
And hey, if the worst-case scenario happens, just remember: "When Bitcoin falls, I'll fall with it... in my cold storage wallet, safely away from the world"
