I’ve been telling myself that if I’m going to actively trade in any volume, I need to make “Calm and Patience” my mantra. Luckily, I don’t think I’m inclined to panic sell or panic buy, because I try to keep a macro view on things.

The importance of this is absolutely immense, I'm not sure how I can stress it enough. You're already off to a better start than most who first first try their hand at trading with crypto - better off than I was, I had to learn those things the hard way. If you're familiar with the fundamentals, you can remind yourself that they are unchanged despite short term fluctuations.

1. While you're at it, read up on trendlines and common chart patterns. Also, stochRSI on 4h should be one of your best friends.
2. I've read that one so many times - in various cryptocurrency communities on reddit. I am shocked at the implication that you haven't heard that particular mantra before.
3. You have a good head on your shoulders. Personally, I'm not nearly as long on BTC 4 years ago. It has a first mover advantage, but has spent the last two years pissing it away. It has a powerful network effect, but not so powerful it cannot be displaced. MySpace also had a first mover advantage and network effect. When is the last time you've heard it mentioned, or actually used it? Bitcoin is showing that the proof of work consensus mechanism can can be make a chain too big and unwieldy to upgrade itself, even when the need is dire. Bitcoin maximalists will say that this is a good thing, because the consensus rules should be extraordinarily difficult to alter - time will tell. I think stakeholder voting is far more agile when it comes to implementing critical upgrades in the event that utility is being eroded.

Hairless monkeys (homo sapiens) are largely irrational. Markets dominated by human traders will be as well. Even trading bots designed by us will reflect that quality - at least until we create a true AI.
For someone new to this, you are possibly going about this in exactly all the right ways. I am rather shocked to hear such a levelheaded strategy from someone who doesn't have experience in stock/commodity/forex markets. Pay attention to chart patterns (including the order of different color candles on past moves. Lower-than 1h candles can be indicative of very short term moves, but I wouldn't try to work those unless the spread is very small - a rarity in these markets). And remember, TA is not infallible. and becomes less reliable the further into the future you make projections. Thinks like unexpected significant news will usually trump it.
