Volatility when taken all at once say in a giant picture of chaos can be scary.. but if you break down what an asset is likely to do in smaller time frames it becomes less volatile..  It also and most importantly lets you stay prepared and unemotional. If I look at my charts and pick good potential support levels, bounce points etc.. Then when an asset pulls back I don't have to panic because I was o.k. with it as I had prepared for that. 

Take BTC from 11,100 to 13,000.. back to $12,500, up to $12,890.. down to $12,300, up $12,620 down to $11,600 and (possibly back to $12,300 and beyond).. Where am I? sitting on some BTC I bought at 11,750 with (a limit order while I was asleep) so I'm up as we speak.. does not always work out that way but I was prepared and had no need to panic..I know all those prices in my head, I have  map going back weeks in my head of the price..  You have to know it that well, know it intimately like a partner so it treats you well..

Now you have a lot of FOMO people with $13,000 BTC that sold at $12,000 or $11,700.. because they were not prepared.. and when big drops happen after a breakout or run, they panic sell low, then buy back in higher than they sold but that might be to late again and it reverses etc.. 

When I have BTC I'm just looking to sell it, when I don't I'm just looking to buy it.. everything else does not matter.. I don't care about it, the blockchain, what it does or does not do.. Only that I can sell it for more than I bought it for..

<br>Not bragging by any means, just pointing out that I follow my own advice and put my capital at risk as well.. Or as we say in the US.. I put my money where my mouth is...
