If you spent the last 2 weeks worrying about how low the Bitcoin price might go it's worth considering how much energy and attention gets consumed with things completely out of our control. A young man once asked a Daoist monk how to stop worrying. The monk responded: "You worry because your mind is grasping for control. It tries to assert its power over powerless situations and aims to shield you from the imagined dangers of the future. But we can never see the future for what it will actually bring. The best we can do is imagine. Therefore, worrying is your mind causing itself pain. There exists one remedy for this affliction, and this is trust. You must trust that you will meet the problems of the future the same way you have met and overcame the problems of the past. Problems themselves are an inevitable and natural part of life. Trust that you will overcome them, and you will gain power over your worries." Bitcoin will go lower and it will go higher. So far entertaining the calls for 87k seem to have been a waste of time. Worrying won't change anything anyways. The emotional roller coaster that comes with the volatility of Bitcoin is mostly self inflicted and entirely optional.
