I "survived" 3 halvings and the new one is getting really close...
The first halving was a real shock for me because I was mining too and seeing in real time how your rewards are getting cut in half is a real harsh feeling.
Then I start learning more about many aspects of Bitcoin and taking notes and saving a lot of documentation pages.
Seeing people ignoring BTC was quite astonishing for me, meanwhile I was devouring anything I could reading about Bitcoin. Indeed people were always looking to price and trading shit, but that part never interested me. I just accumulated BTC at any price, all the time, whenever I had some spare money.
After the 2nd halving survival I realized that is time for me to start earning more BTC and not buying it anymore. Again those times was really hard.
This time I saw that many people were making only noise and do not help in any way Bitcoin adoption. And yes, the hype was related with price peaks and was really annoying because you couldn't read some important news in the plethora of bullshit about price and trading.
After the 3rd halving survival this noise was accelerated. When was some big dips, was a relief for me, because I could concentrate better into writing guides and help others.
Now I am a bit concerned about this halving that is coming, because is an important one, we have LN now and taproot and other goodies, but people are still in a hype mode a lot. We will see much more noise after this halving. So be prepared. Go deep into learning and reading more Bitcoin documentation.
Staying online is a nightmare in these hype seasons!
