It's hard not to feel anxious when watching Bitcoin's price chart. Hovering around $68k with repeated fluctuations and no clear direction for a month—this kind of market really tests people's judgment. Many people don't exit with losses; instead, they get worn down to doubt themselves, and then they act at the worst possible moment.

I prefer to see this as a "sentiment cleansing period." The chain isn't broken, institutions are still holding their positions, and funds like BlackRock won't play with retail investors' emotions—they focus only on long-term allocation logic. In this context, talking about zeroing out is more like an emotional venting than a rational judgment.

But the reality is also straightforward: what assets are you holding? If it's mainstream assets, you can wait for the cycle; if it's something like Worldcoin with a high inflation narrative, then it's not about "toughing it out," but about which side time is on.

My current approach is simple: if I don't understand the market, I won't force participation. The phase most likely to cause losses isn't during sharp drops or surges, but during these indecisive, frustrating ranges that make people itchy to act.
