Those of you with big stacks of crypto, how does it feel to check your portfolio and see it go up and down thousands of dollars at a time? Specifically when it goes down

Doesn't feel great when it drops but this whole market is a joke so you've got to get used to it or sell up imo. I've dropped 4-5 grand in a few hours at most, nothing like what some have, but you just have to roll with it.

I'm only seeing it going up by 10k a day right now. I keep autistically checking it hoping for every new mile marker.

between last august and october when everything was in a slump, I was down about 40% from my august high at the time. During that time I just stopped checking things, stopped checking /biz/, focused on other things, and tried not to think about it.

[Anonymous No.25623831]

The first time you reach these heights and lose thousands it hurts so, so much
Couldn’t sleep etc
It does get better once you think of your stacks in the crypto denomination as opposed to the dollar value. I know it seems like a meme, but it isn’t and is also a good test if you actually have an absolute ticking shitcoin or you can be happy owning and using it in future.
Ex: I can always utilize bitcoin and ethereum on their networks and will have a certain amount available that will let me interact with the chains. It is always valuable.
Ex: I can always utilize UNI/CRV/MKR in their respective voting protocols as well as earn fees
Ex: I can never use LINK for anything outside of selling it higher to someone at the hopes that I sold the highest. This is a shitcoin sign

I can relate to this. I have 30k in crypto and I’m more worried and emotional about my 700€ (not k) in CD Projekt Red stocks. What da fuq is wrong with me?

[Anonymous No.25624131]

I simply don't look at it and don't think about it. I live frugally, get paid well, and fucking hate my job. I'm much more concerned about being allowed to quit soon than I am what the crypto markets are doing. Plus, I have a fat stack of emergency cash if I need to get the hell out of dodge, so I feel financially secure.

I figure when I hit my target amount, I'll consider selling some of it. Not selling before then because it's really a hedge against banks and fiat more than a moonshot to escape poverty.

It's hard to give a shit when a 20% correction is eaten up after 15 minutes and when new ATHs are printed almost every day.
I put $50k in and my stack is worth $133k right now. I've made as much in unrealized gains from like October to now as all my W2 wages in 2019 including OT, paid unused vacation time, etc.
All it does is make you realize how much of a fucking joke having a job is (unless you actually like it).

After a few retarded mistakes trading and losing, you learn to hodl. And once you see hodling give you big returns on a long enough time scale, you don’t mind. Sure the price oscillates up and down rapidly but it’s the overall trend that matters

I unironically don't pay attention to anything less than a $10k swing, which is weird considering my portfolio was less than $10k total a year ago.

As others said, you get used to it. If you’re a 5k portfolio poorfag and your shit drops to 4K it feels about the same as a 500k portfolio dropping to 400k. It’s because I’ve been through it so many times that I’m fairly resistant to panic and turmoil because I know over the long run it will pump back sooner or later.

When I first invested there was a day that I lost 5k worth of gains and my whole day was ruined. I felt worse that day than I did last March when my portfolio went from 80k to 26k. You just get used to it.
