10 Simple Ways You Know You're Going To Make It As Crypto Investor...

1. 40% price drops make your mouth water. (I literally sprinted home tonight to get on my exchange.)

2. You think that fiat is boring.

3. You think 5+ years out, not about current price or candles.

4. You're constantly fantasizing about where you can get free electricity.

5. You consider your cryptocurrency as a first-class ticket to financial freedom.

6. Extreme fear on the crypto index is actually exciting.

7. FUD and moon talk have become meaningless.

8. You're diversified properly and not overextended in vulnerable tokens.

9. You sleep well because you've firmly invested in what you believe in.

10. Panic selling isn't an option anymore because you've learned from your mistakes.

-----

## To those who often wished that they got in early, this could be your chance (or lower). Pay attention and invest carefully. You don't have to catch the bottom to be successful.
##
As for me, I'm buying more since current prices have my long-term holdings goals right in my reach. I'm so close and can actually exceed them, which I didn't think I'd ever be able to do.

I was already in high gear, but I'm now going to go gangbusters with my home business to take advantage of what I see as a massive opportunity. It has the same feel to me as the financial crisis in the late 2000's where brave money made a fortune.

It's now time to list more items for sale. I'll then hit the curbs to salvage more curbside recycling sell. I'll be nearly the only one outside working in the middle of the night while everyone else is asleep. I enjoy going against the grain on my own path, which I firmly believe in. That's why crypto feels right to me.

This was my high school yearbook quote:

as long as [BTC Hashrate](https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-hashrate.html#1y) does not collapse (51% attack) all is fine and everything has a discount patch now. Did you buy anything else besides Bitcoin?

Will be just BTC & ETH until I hit my targets, then I'll move to alt coins IF the economy starts to stabilize and cash on hand isn't critical. I honestly gave up hope that I'd hit them any time soon as I thought  prices might be a bit more resilient, but I'm thrilled for the long run -- viewing price these days as merely the entry point... not final value after price discovery runs its course.

Thanks man. Currently, I prefer trading the market than holding. I figured it has short term rewards I can compound. Maybe when I've hit my capital goal, I can start diversifying by buying for long term.
