If you are truly a beginning bitcoiner or if this is your first bitcoin cycle (bitcoin has cycles of market price spikes and dumps) then there is something emotional to be aware of. FOMO.

Fear of missing out is real. When you see bitcoin rising in market price on exchanges emotions can do funny things to even the most rational and thoughtful person. A word of wisdom that you hear often is, "stay humble, stack sats". I'm not going to try to tell you what you should do but be aware. You can make some mistakes when emotions cloud your judgement.

When bitcoin prices begin to rise as they have over the last month you might be tempted to do risky things. Things like over extend yourself. What I do, and what many of us do is we just always buy. That's the stack sats part. Start getting paid a portion of your pay check in bitcoin for example. Each week use Robosats to buy bitcoin without KYC. Or find another way to regularly secure some bitcoin for your future.

I am advising this because I have allowed emotion to direct me to strongly in the past. Don't get me wrong. I didn't get wrecked. I do not regret any bitcoin I've acquired. I feel this way because I value bitcoin far above its current market price. I actually get more excited when market price goes down. That said, be prepared.

Be prepared for bitcoin to keep going up but also be prepared for an 80% draw down. That FOMO you feel now might be replaced with dread for letting emotions cloud your judgement. Just be aware. We are hearing many massive predictions from the dudes that get attention from speculating on bitcoins new ATH. It happens every cycle. It affects us all.

Stay humble, stack sats.
