Every cycle the ethereum scammers are out in full force with something new to sell you.
First with "the world computer" then ICOs, then DeFi, then NFTs.
Now their latest scam is DeSci.
Yah, decentralized science.
Stay as far away from this scam as you can.
Time in the market > timing the market, a phrase that you can break down into just one word.
Conviction.
This will also determine how long you can hold your bitcoin.
So how much conviction will you have? Well this depends on how much you are susceptible to your ego.
If you are more susceptible then you'll do less research, experience more fear during price drops, explore things like MSTR and altcoins, and ultimately care more about being right than being useful.
This is not the way.
Good luck.
"Ossification is complacency. Yes, we all agree that Bitcoin is great. But I do not agree that Bitcoin has reached its full potential. I think complacency is one of the greatest threats to Bitcoin - we must not rest upon our laurels." - @Jameson Lopp
Remember that MSTR is just a levered play and sure I guess put it in your 401k if you have one but know that 99% of MSTR value is simply in how much bitcoin they plan to acquire now and into the future.
So moral of the story is just keep acquiring the underlying asset (bitcoin) yourself instead of buying MSTR.
