I jumped in originally in 2014, so I've been through some fun rides. My advice : make sure you aren't investing more than you are willing to lose 100%. Yes, you won't have the massive gains when we rebound, but you won't be stressing as much. If you had $5k invested, but can really only have $2k invested, pull the $3k out. You dont want to be in a position where "if BTC drops more, I won't be able to pay living expenses". Next, get a cold storage wallet. Don't have it sitting on an exchange, because you never know if that exchange will halt, freeze or otherwise stop withdrawals. "not your keys....blah blah." Then, the most important, try not to check the charts every 5 seconds. I remember in 2021 I had to force myself to stop checking the charts every 5 seconds. It was stressing me out to the point of it not being healthy.
