This is extremely valid for us newer bitcoiners. Unfortunately the Bitcoin bug didn’t bite me until 2024. I am still in the process of rectifying my mental stress around going so hard in btc after a lifetime of 60/40 indoctrination and conservative parents. The Blackrock 2% propaganda pill is much easier to swallow. The best mental pillars of strength I’ve found is 1.) “fuck it, at least if I go down with this ship, I was true to myself and not a coward supporting a corrupt system”. 2.) Constant study. The more you understand, the less you fear. The remaining “fears” become calculated risks to account for.
