This is one of the best posts I've seen on crypto in 8 months. It's a simple message, but genuine and relatable. What's kept me calm during violent price movements is the same vision you share, but I took out my main initial investment after ETHs major pullback in June to be playing with mainly profit. I've used some profit to then diversify into other coins and mining contracts. This helps me disassociate mentally from the insanity of the price swings and account balance earthquakes I used to let affect me too much as I have minimal personal funds in the game now. In hindsight, I wish I never sold anything, but then again, I believe it's best practice to take some off the table to play with house money. It'll cost me more profit in the future, but far less stress on the way there. I have started selectively making new investments with USD, but only in alts I believe will be successful in the long term, not short term flips. Being from NY, a heavily regulated state, it's been difficult to get alts until Bittrex opened their doors. This also kept me sane as I first got into crypto by not having too many options to worry about, although watching Ripple go from half a penny to .42 cents was a bit of a bummer. Hope this helps you commiserate.

Its right on...it was just play money gamble for a long while...now its become something I spend too much time trying to build...I have to remember its found money...keep it fun...not beat myself up if I leave a coin too early...as I say...it may not matter what you are invested in once the next wave hits...everything will rise...good hunting...
I guess it's about trying to have gratitude for the gains instead of dwelling on the what could have beens :)
Amen...
