Losing some Bitcoin conviction — has anyone else been through this

I got into Bitcoin because I don’t trust fiat long-term. The endless money printing, inflation, and systemic risks make it hard for me to believe traditional currencies will hold up over time. Bitcoin felt like a rational hedge — a way to opt out and protect value.

But lately, I’ve been second-guessing things. The more I’ve learned, the more questions I have:

• What happens when the block subsidy keeps shrinking? Fees still seem too low to sustain security.

• Is tail emission the only way for sustaining long-term blockchain security?

• Governments are still circling. Regulatory pressure could hit hard.

• Stablecoins like USDT might be propping up the price — and I’m not sure how solid that foundation is.

I’m not looking for hype or financial advice. I’m just trying to figure out if I should keep stacking or step back a bit until things feel clearer.

Mostly, I’m wondering:

Have you ever hit this phase of doubt? How did you work through it — or not?

Would appreciate any honest takes from people who’ve wrestled with the same questions.
