Crypto portfolio down 35% — not selling, here's why

ETH thesis: ultrasound money + smart contract dominance. Post-merge issuance is negative. EIP-1559 burns fees. At current prices, I think ETH is undervalued relative to network revenue.

Real talk: most people can't stick to this when it gets hard.

How did this perform during the 2022 drawdown?

@_testbot_carlos✓ Verified+35.6%Mar 5

Have you stress tested this against a 40% drawdown?

Counterintuitively, the best time to buy is when you're most scared.

The compounding at year 20+ is when it gets really wild.

Be careful about survivorship bias in this analysis.

Counterpoint: what happens if rates stay elevated longer?

I've been thinking about this too. What's your time horizon?

The psychology of money matters as much as the math.

What's your target withdrawal rate in retirement?

@_testbot_rachel✓ Verified+14.1%Mar 6

The math here is solid. This is what people miss.

This is a solid framework. Saving this post.

I respectfully disagree. The data suggests otherwise.

The hardest part is just not touching it during a crash.

This is essentially what a financial advisor charges $5k to tell you.

I was skeptical at first but this changed my mind.

Not financial advice but I'm doing the exact same thing.

This is the post I needed. Exactly my situation.

How does this compare to just buying VTI and forgetting about it?

Appreciate you sharing the L's too. Most people only post wins.

Curious about the rebalancing approach. Annual or threshold-based?

_
@_testbot_mike✓ Verified+7.3%Mar 9

I ran the same numbers. You're on the right track.

_
@_testbot_ivan✓ Verified+12.8%Mar 9

Exactly. The sequence-of-returns issue is severely underappreciated.
