Around my eighth year in bitcoin the price was horrible and I was feeling the emotions and pressure very strongly.

I told myself “you said you’d Hodl for 10 years when you first bought bitcoin and it hasn’t been 10 years yet”

So I had to Hodl for at least another two years.

When the 10 year mark came I reassessed and told myself I’d be holding for another 10 years.

That was 2 years ago.

So still 8 more years to go before I reassess again.

These little mind hacks work extraordinarily well.

I recommend employing them to counteract your emotions.

I'm on the same timeline. 2032, when the block rewards drop below 1 BTC per block, is going to be a big psychological scarcity wake up call and I WILL be holding a bag when people start aping in.

Most people negotiate with every red candle. Bitcoiners make the decision once, then let time do the work. ₿

I don't think the word hodl was coined when I first bought Bitcoin. Maybe I'd have made such a sensible decision. Still annoyed nobody told me I could have been on unemployment and avoided selling that whole coin for a month of rent. Why couldn't I have had less productive parents?

I have a similar strategy. Simple yes or no. Can I tell my boss to go fuck himself and go home and maintain my current lifestyle for the next 46 years? Yes: Retire No: keep stacking

My hack was to tell my children what my stack was and promise them that’s the minimum they would get when I’m gone.

So basically... your 10-year plan has a 10-year extension pack. regular fiat brains can't handle this level of genius.

Conviction is just a theory until it survives a few years of pain. A fixed time horizon helps keep emotions from rewriting the plan.

I have no problem hodling per se because I know what I own. My achilles heel is being fed up with working in the fiat mines which might mean using some as my fuck you money but not in a bear market, I'll hodl through this at least.

The mind-hack framing makes it sound more mechanical than it is. What you're describing is closer to a commitment device: you lock in a decision under conditions of clarity so that a future, more emotional version of you can't easily override it. The interesting thing is *why* it works. "I said I'd...

I have told myself to HODL until I die. Because my Bitcoins are for the next generation.
